Gold is all the rage right now. And some apparently think that if you aren’t outright ‘bullish’ you are unaware or unintelligent.Those who ply the trade for a living (i.e. advisors, investors, traders, writers) all seem to be on the same page. Even fundamentalists and technical analysts are teammates. Sort of.The U.S. dollar is in the headlines, so naturally, most of the explanat...Read More

The scary thing is that it wasn't even a large amount of debt deflation.Remember the 2008 Crisis? That time when everyone thought the world was literally going to end? It's that small dip in the dotted line be...Read More
In terms of time, a short-term secondary low is due for gold here in the current timeframe, originally projected for the February 7th date, but with the normal plus or minus variance of a day or two in either direction. The current decline comes as a result of the 10, 20 and 34-day cycles, each of which have been pointing south off the 1370 swing top - and with the combination of the same at or in...Read More
Index futures were getting savaged late Monday night as DaBoyz worked feverishly to exhaust sellers so that They can run stocks up the ol' wazoo ahead of the opening bell. This is a dangerous game, even for the thimble riggers who control America's securities exchanges. I'd flagged the 2533.50 downside target shown (click thumbnail inset) for the E-Mini S&Ps less than an hour ago, when it look...Read More

The appointment of Jerome Powell as new Fed chair is likely the catalyst that ushers in a multi-decade era of rising inflation and soaring gold stocks.I've announced a long term target for GDX of $15,000. That really isn't very high... given the strong inflation numbers that I am projecting for America in the years ahead.Having said that, Powell has only been on the job for one day. Investors need...Read More

Gold rose due to safe haven demand on the global stock market plunge. Gold gained despite a strong US dollar. If gold rises today, then there will be short covering. A lot of short term traders are short. One needs to remain on the sidelines in gold and silver. In case of extreme margin money pressure in stock markets, some of the long positions in precious metals and industrial metals could get...Read More

Intent on showering us with some logic as prices rain lower, the media tells us that...Read More
