Bulls have improbably shrugged off steep downturns in the housing and auto sectors, rising interest rates, a costly tariff war with China, the pernicious rise of socialism on Capitol Hill, the economic implosion of China and Germany, a strong dollar that has sapped the earning of U.S. multinationals; and, most recently, evidence that retail sales nosedived during t...Read More

China has been increasing gold reserves as a buffer to blackmail by USA and its allies on the global trade war front.

Investors are looking for higher gold prices, and with good reason, said George Milling-Stanley, head of gold strategy at State Street Global Advisors. "The middle two quarters of 2018 were bad for gold because the dollar was extraordinarily strong, so was the domestic equity market in the U.S. The influence of all that tended to wane in December so gold picked up very, very nicely," Milling-Stanl...Read More

Sector expert Michael Ballanger describes his investment strategies in light of recent stock market moves. A few weeks ago, I published one of my more noteworthy missives entitled "The Time to Be Short (Again) Has Arrived," in which I advanced the notion that the level of the 200-day moving average for the S&P 500 (2,742) was about as good a level to exit the market, if long, or an opportunity to...Read More
