In this video we analyze two charts: Gold against the 60/40 portfolio (total return) and Gold against a 60/40 Fund (which may not include total return).

Argentina recently made headlines with its announcement that it plans to pay for its imports from China in Yuan. Inevitably, gold commentators jumped to the spurious conclusion that this decision signals another step towards “de-dollarization.”

We've got more confirmation today that metals have begun an intermediate degree decline.  Ride out this correction and I'll try and call the bottom in real time for subscribers when I think it has arrived. I want to warn people this may become more severe than what...

In this discussion between Egon von Greyerz and Alasdair Macleod, on the state of the current banking system and the importance of gold, the speakers express concerns about the sys

What if bitcoin just topped? What does it change for the price of gold going forward, if anything? Many years ago, people wanted to buy gold but didn’t really want to store it in their homes, pay for safekeeping and insurance during transport, and so on. The demand...

The American government is a debt-oriented mess and sadly, most proposals to fix it involve even more debt.

Tectonic shifts lie ahead. These will involve a US and European debt crisis ending in a debt collapse, a precipitous fall of the dollar and the Euro with Gold emerging as a reserve asset but at multiples of the current price.

Palladium was the best-performing precious metal of the week, increasing by 1.3%. Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) raised their palladium holdings by 17,202 troy ounces. China continued to add to its gold reserves for the sixth consecutive month, as central banks...

In 1946, when the Foundation for Economic Education was founded, an ounce of gold traded for around $38.25. This week, it was trading above $2,000! I can only imagine how much money could have been made with earlier investments in gold. I sure wish I had invested...

The future of money is uncertain, and speculation about what comes next is all over the place. The Federal Reserve note "dollar" is the world's reserve currency, but its seat on that throne is no longer secure.

Ever wonder how much it costs to produce an ounce of gold? Most of us tend to focus on the market price for gold since that is what we hear referenced on a daily basis.

Lately, I have been telling the story of my experience leading up to the all-time high in long-term Treasury bond rates that occurred in late 1981. I was kind of a rookie, having started at Merrill Lynch in late 1977 (at age 22). 30-year Treasury bond yields peaked...

Willem Middelkoop, the author of The Big Reset and founder of Commodity Discovery Fund, returns to the show, and we discuss the international monetary system and the petrodollar system that has been the foundation of the US dollar since 1973 or 1974.

We're getting down to the wire now. Biden has cancelled debt ceiling negotiations with Republicans yesterday. Maybe Hunter's in trouble again. Who knows.

A mere four weeks ago we penned our 700th missive entitled “Gold: The Next All-Time High is Nigh”.  And as you nauseatingly know from just prior to this past week, Gold came within four wee points of so doing in reaching 2085 on 04 May, (the All-Time High of course...

I have read so many articles recently from the investment industry and the so-called financial professionals about what happens to your investment account value if you don't follow the buy-and-hold method. What I have learned is just how good some professionals are...

As far as the Dow Jones goes, I didn’t miss much during the two weeks I took off.  Since March 31st, the Dow Jones has remained above its -10% BEV line, but can’t move up to close above its -5% BEV line, making the past six weeks one boring market as far as the Dow...

Well, it looks like gold bulls will have to wait at least another week for any sort of upside breakout to occur. Gold continues to contend with resistance selling whenever it approaches its former all-time high near $2,080. That was the case again this week.

Is the hype real, or is it a mirage? With silver and mining stocks declining sharply on May 11, the PMs' volatility was on full display. And while base effects provide the trio with inflation cover through June, the second half of 2023 should elicit more economic...

Our proprietary cycle indicator is DOWN. GLD is on short term sell signal. Our ratio is on sell signal.

As the world transitions from a bi-polar to a multi-polar one, Europe is experiencing a brutal crossborder conflict, the financial markets are in disarray, and the two superpowers are engaged in a new cold war. Fracturing the world’s alliances and echoing the beggar...

The Fed minutes put a damper on the markets, but not on our huge cash positions in our SGS portfolios (all in USD). The candlestick action on silver bullion is impressive and we're stepping into the market to buy a position with stoploss.

The big US stocks dominating markets and investors’ portfolios are drifting in a technical no man’s land.  While formally still languishing in a bear market, they wouldn’t have to rally far to regain bull territory.  Enthusiastic traders are increasingly...

In a recent interview, renowned investor Stanley Druckenmiller explained why he sees the potential for a financial crisis centered around 2030. His timing perfectly aligns with ITR economics prediction for the next great depression. Below are some highlights from...

In a short-term and cyclical sense, gold miners and junior gold stocks follow the Gold price. However, beyond the short-term, gold miners follow the "real" price of Gold because it is a better indicator of long-term gold miner profitability than the nominal Gold...

The April PPI report came in to the disinflationary side, and as a side note unemployment claims jumped to the highest level since 2021. This has inflation-centric goldbugs scattering out of the inflation stuff, a label the majority of them wrongly assign to gold...

Precious metals investors have a very focused strategy for wealth management. They funnel much of/most of their liquid wealth into gold and silver – to insulate their wealth from the ravages of central bank-created “inflation”.

It’s no secret that for the past decade and a half the Federal Reserve has made it its mission to create a “wealth effect” in the economy by boosting asset prices. Back in 2010, Ben Bernanke explained, “…higher stock prices will boost consumer wealth and help...

This week I have a question from Eugene from Missouri about the Federal Reserve. He asks, “we often read that the Fed has a 2 percent inflation 'target'. Why is that? Why is inflation considered necessary at all? Would it be so bad if the dollar I earn today were...
