The buy-the-dips mentality has become so entrenched over the last few months that it's hard to imagine what could possibly derail the bull market. Wall Street feigned mild concern for a few hours over the spread of a deadly virus in China, but absent news that Americans are keeling over dead from it in their back yards, we can expect the broad averages to forge ever higher. The uptrend has bee...Read More
The Critical Investor profiles one of the few companies in the region whose Environmental Impact Assessment has been approved. 1. IntroductionSometimes I come across a familiar name that seems to be around forever, not achieving remarkable highs or lows, just following its course quietly like a small river or creek. In those cases I often look in vain for upcoming catalysts, as such companies usu...Read More

Apparently, there is no limit. This seems especially true right now with all of the “obvious” signs and indicators staring you in the face. It is almost blasphemous to speak cautiously. Better to let your imagination run wild and join in the revelry.I can’t do that. I don’t choose to be dumped into the same cauldron of boiling fantasy with other analysts and advisors, who t...Read More
Two cities are besieged. One by officials, activists and business leaders, while the second by bloodthirsty politicians. Will anyone escape?

- Gary TanashianI most often use linear scale charts for stocks, markets and indicators for their more absolute views. But in the case below we conjure up a long-term log scale chart showing the Gold/Silver Ratio (GSR) and the S&P 500 (SPX), as it works better in providing a percentage-based relationship between an indicator of market liquidity and inflation when declining and lack of liquid...Read More
The gold miners' stocks have spent the past half-year mired in a high consolidation. They haven't been able to break out, but aren't breaking down either. This technical purgatory is working to slowly bleed off overboughtness and rebalance sentiment. This necessary process to eradicate greed from the last upleg peak is never exciting. But today's low gold-miner valuations reveal great...Read More
Gary SavageI mentioned at the 2:00 mark that we would probably see an attack this morning. We did indeed get a major attack. A full days volume was thrown at gold before the market had even opened. The closer we get to the FOMC meeting the more dangerous these attacks will become. So I'm still waiting for a close above the Sept. high as confirmation the next leg has begun. (orig. published on J...Read More

Jordan Roy-Byrne CMT, MFTA The precious metals sector remains in a correction, and as long as the 200-day moving averages hold, a bullish consolidation that began last September.Sure, Gold made a new high and is still holding around the previous high, but the rest of the sector has not confirmed that strength. When Gold is outperforming Silver and the gold stocks, it is not a bullish signal for...Read More

Safe haven demand (due to Chinese corona virus) is supporting gold. I expect a rise in Chinese gold demand during the Chinese New year, if the virus is not contained in the next two weeks. Chinese economy will see a short term hit. More and more Chinese will buy gold out of fear. It is the fear of the unknown that will drive more and more people to gold.Chinese authorities are acting quickly. It...Read More

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both fought their way into the black f...Read More
