You may think (or hope) that in your daily life you don’t need to worry about unknowingly eating or otherwise ingesting crude oil or any of its many, many petrochemical byproducts. But you would be wrong. And not just a little wrong--very, very wrong. Petroleum-based substances are in all kinds of innocuous-seeming things that we willingly put into our bodies. Even though petrochemicals are...Read More
Gold prices pushed sharply higher on Tuesday but have stalled ever since. Has the recovery rally completed? I think it has.Leave it to Trump to go and say something that causes the equity markets to print a two-day drop that wipes out more than a week of gains. But the tone in the markets might be changing.The US president went from saying that the trade deal might get delayed until after the elec...Read More
I can remember there were times during the PM complex bull market before 2011 that sometimes the PM metals would rally but the PM stocks were very weak. Then there were times when the PM stock would rise while the PM metals moved very little. At the time of those occurrences it was bewildering as common sense suggested they should all move together and the stronger the metals moved so should the P...Read More

Greg is ready to make another bold call on the precious metals, having nailed previous moves in both gold and silver perfectly right here on this podcast earlier this year. Greg also tells us why he believes the trade deal with China is keeping many Americans hopelessly distracted about the real issues in the economy - and why a deal there will simply not be enough to keep the economy going strong...Read More
Dear Rich Lifer,Becoming a caregiver can happen when you least expect it.Say a parent trips, breaks a leg, and can't get around any longer. Or suppose you visit over the holidays and discover rotting food in the frig, the range with a burner still on, and a mountain of unopened mail on the dining room table.Now the responsibility of providing the care has fallen on you.You're not alone.

Dear Reader,I've said it before, but I need to emphasize it again today...The biggest rule in trading is this: Markets can always go a lot higher than you think, and a lot lower than you think.How many times over the past several years have you heard that stocks are massively overpriced by historical standards, that they just couldn't go any higher?Plenty, I'm sure. But stocks have gone higher. A...Read More
A few weeks ago we noted the bullish setup for 2020. Macro developments, one way or another will tend to favor Gold. There isn’t a realistic scenario that isn’t Gold bullish. Note the comments from various Fed-heads last week. They are laying the groundwork to target higher than 2% inflation and won’t consider raising rates anytime soon. And if they have to resume cutting rates G...Read More

By: Ira EpsteinI do not buy anything Trump is saying in front of NATO, for the press, in negotiations in his trade-deals. Next round of sanctions with China is nearing and will know more soon. Gold still not over the key 18-week moving average, negative bias remains..Read More
Gold and silver would have skyrocketed yesterday but for news of nearing of a trade deal. US November private ADP numbers stood at 67,000. If nonfarm payrolls on Friday matches ADP, then chances of interest rate cut in next week FOMC could be very high. Gold just corrected on trade deal news while silver fell. Crude oil zoomed. Trump has a history of flip-flop, unless a trade deal is actually si...Read More
