The last update was wrong. Gold was expected to drop with the stockmarket, but instead it rose. Being wrong in this business is not a crime, but it is vital to recognize the error as soon as possible and make a course correction, and if possible discern the reason or reasons for the error.

You calculate a present value by discounting earnings for each future year. And the discount rate is the market interest rate. We said:"If the Fed can manipulate the rate of interest, then it can manipulate the value of everything......There is no other rate...Read More

I know we are in the midst of a joyous time of year, but that doesn't mean the world has stopped turning. And the start of 2019 brings us to a critical moment.
