By: Keith WeinerOne of the most important problems in economics is: How do we know if an enterprise is creating or destroying wealth? The line between the two is objective, black and white. It should be clear that if business managers can't tell the difference between a wealth-creating or wealth-destroying activity, then our whole society will be miserably poor.Any manager will tell you that it'...Read More

The yen, whose behavior corresponds closely to gold's, began 2019 with a giant leap that slightly pierced the 0.94148 midpoint resistance of the pattern shown. This is bullish but would become still more so if the futures can close for two consecutive weeks above it. The 1.03755 target is already in play, but it would become a lead-pipe cinch to be achieved once the March contract is trading d...Read More

If the debt continues to grow at an unsustainable level, it could expose the country to a number of dangers. In the extreme, the risk rises that Washington's lenders, many of whom are foreign, could suddenly lose confidence, demand higher interest rates, and trigger a fiscal crisis. Short of that, rising debt could gradually squeeze discretionary spending and deny the country tools it needs for...Read More

When I think back to 2007, a memory that stings a bit is having blogged here at LRC that Ron Paul shouldn't emphasize the Federal Reserve System so much. It's too technical for most people, I said, so he should stick for more natural crowd-pleasing topics.Not my finest moment, to be sure.I sounded like that producer who, in rejecting the Beatles, told them that groups with guitars were on their...Read More

Brexit news will be the key in January. Any postponement or new conditions will result in the cable seeing a sell off against the US dollar. Gold will benefit if there is uncertainty on brexit. Japan's prime minister Abe says that Japan is watchful of risks to the global economic recovery. In fact every nation is watchful. This is the one reason that Asia policy makers have not given a clear ind...Read More

It's not yet clear that the stock market swoon is predictive or merely a panic attack triggered by a loss of meds.We contrarians can't help it: when the herd is bullish, we start looking for a reversal. When the herd turns bearish, we also start looking for a reversal.So now that the herd is skittishly bearish, anticipating a recession, contrarians start wondering if a most hated rally is in th...Read More

In September mining stocks hit 52-week lows, and the regular markets are now entering bear market territory. Inflation is on the rise and many states are hiking their minimum wage. Recent US Dollar strength is actually a bearish sign. Mining shares need several things to catc...Read More

Like the much vaunted butterfly affect, so too with financial markets and debt. We go merrily along out way thinking everything is fine, only to discover that we were wrong. While we totally mis-called the market from 2011 to late last year, eventually the chickens come home to roost. And then Apple has a major miss and the market can't stop going down. But wait, the next day everything is fine an...Read More

Precious metals expert Michael Ballanger discusses the broad markets, Fed action and precious metals.
