While we're waiting for the intermediate decline to run its course I'm going to do a little video here on some technical parameters.

In this video, Rafi delves into the unsettling parallels between the 2019 repo market crisis and the current state of affairs. With over a trillion dollars in treasury bills set to flood the market and the debt ceiling negotiations underway, Rafi examines the...

Negotiations over increasing the federal debt ceiling continue in Washington. As has occurred several times over the past twenty years, Republicans and Democrats are presently using increases in the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip in negotiating how federal tax...

Macroeconomists, it is said, have physics envy. Physicists measure how gasses behave as temperature, pressure, and mass of gas molecules are changed, and write an equation to describe the relationship between these variables: PV = nRT (P = pressure, V = volume, n =...

After the recent bank collapses and string of interest rate hikes, Egon von Greyerz shows his deep concerns for the U.S. monetary system.

Most investors remember the Ben Bernanke era of falling rates and the rising price of gold. When there’s deflation, citizens need to hold lots of gold. When there’s inflation… they need even more.

Complicated and convoluted technical analysis, inflamed fundamentals, never-ending last chance warnings and all the supposed evidence to the contrary – there is nothing that justifies the ultra-bullishness of silver stackers and investors. We might say “gold leaves...

If you look at all the articles published and all the discussions had about the market, you would see one underlying similarity: Each and every one debates what will occur after the next piece of “news” is published.

President Joe Biden will meet with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Monday to hold high-stakes talks on the still-unresolved debt ceiling standoff.

This fireside chat, entitled “Death of an Empire – Scary Insights,” discusses the changing dynamics of the global financial system, with Asia becoming increasingly independent from the West. There is too much debt in the world, particularly in the US, and central...

We are in the midst of a system bank run, which are in the greater sense really a bank run on the United States of America, the issuer of the reserve currency of the world.

A bond by any other name is still a bond. A bond is a debt and all debts are IOUs. Corporate bonds, municipal bonds and U.S. Treasuries all fit the same definition.

De-Dollarization is a real, all too real trend, though it is both fascinating and disturbing to see what is otherwise so obvious being deliberately down-played, excused or ignored from the top down.

Yeah, right. A headline here just two weeks ago implied that stocks were about to go bananas: Why a Permabear Is Certain We're Going Much Higher.  Hubris aside, this was based on the very bullish chart of just one stock, Chipotle (CMG). It had just crossed the $2,...

Rafi Farber, The End Game Investor, returns to the show to discuss the current chaos in the markets and the dilemma faced by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Rafi explains the challenges of balancing inflation control and the need to prevent bank failures...

The time to make money is when a market is trending, preferably trending strongly. The problem that many Traders have is they don't get on the trend early. They don't really recognize that a strong trend has developed until the trend has already matured.

Last week the S&P 500 closed at a nine-month high. Bond yields rebounded from support. A stronger stock market and higher bond yields means Fed rate cuts are pushed out farther into the future. That puts pressure on Gold and Silver.

Since mid-March, our oft-stated target for Gold has at minimum been its still-standing All-Time High of 2089 … and beyond!  … such that throughout we’ve not chosen a forecast high for this year.

The Dow Jones was up for the week by 126 in dollars, or 0.34% in BEV terms in the chart below. Making a close above its’ BEV -5% line, or closing in scoring position as far away this week as it was last week. If you’re a bull on the stock market, seeing the Dow...

After knocking on the door of new record highs over the past few weeks, the gold market is pulling back. Bulls had faced a lot of overhead resistance in futures trading. It finally proved to be too much to overcome – at least for the near term.

Our proprietary cycle indicator is DOWN. GLD is on short term sell signal. GDX is on short term sell signal. XGD.to is on short term sell signal. GDXJ is on short term sell signal.

The gold miners just finished reporting their latest quarterly results, revealing how they are actually faring fundamentally.  Those proved somewhat mixed for the largest gold miners dominating the leading gold-stock benchmark.  While production stayed stable,...

The gold market correction continues although there are some nice air brake candlesticks, especially in the silver stocks.

First let me get this in print up front; the gold price (like most/all markets) is manipulated in different ways. It can be talked down, it can be subject to paper buying/selling that does not bear resemblance to its street value (per the supply/demand dynamics of...

Banks have been tightening their lending standards, and they plan to keep doing it throughout the rest of the year. Last week, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve released a new report on how much banks plan to expand or tighten lending in coming months....

Todd Hoffman, the creator of Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel, joins the show, and we discuss the current state of the economy and its potential impact on silver and gold. Todd expresses concerns about a possible systemic crash of the US dollar and its...

Gold and silver have experienced significant rallies since the lows of last fall, with gold rising from $1650 to over $2,000, while silver rallied from slightly below $18 to over $26, before the recent correction.

Despite the stock market rally so far in 2023, the S&P 500 Index has not come close to regaining its all-time high put in early last year. What has soared to new highs, however, is the stock/bond ratio.

When looking for an investment, the approach I take involves looking at the global, big picture conditions. I study trends, read the news, basically watch and listen to what’s going on in the world.

The big question now is whether the Fed will pivot or not. Some, not a few, already believe that the decision has been made. Does it really make any difference? We think not.
