The trend is your friend, and right now the trend for the Dow Jones is up from its bottom of September 30th. Finishing the week just a hair away from closing in scoring position --> somewhere above its BEV -5% line. Why “scoring position?”

I'm going to look at a few markets here and start with the dollar. I'm seeing a lot of people can't find any fundamental reason for why the dollar can go down but one could make the same argument with Bitcoin there was just no fundamental reason why the bubble in...

Money supply growth fell again in October, dropping to a 39-month low. October's drop continues a steep downward trend from the unprecedented highs experienced during the thirteen months between April 2020 and April 2021. During that period, money supply growth in...

As the Roman empire burned, the silliest citizens (with lots of tin and little gold) had a pipedream, which was that their favorite politicians would put out the fire.

As might have been deduced, the stock market invalidated its recent upswing. What's more, it dragged gold miners down. But is this really a bearish story? In yesterday’s analysis, I wrote that the stock market was likely to invalidate its recent upswing above its 38...
