Markets and cycles are my new hobby. I've seen the writing on the wall for the U.S. and the global economy and I am seeking financial salvation for myself (and anyone else who cares to listen) while Rome burns around us.
Many recent published commentaries appear to have lost perspective on the now much-hated Gold stock sector. The fact of the matter is that, technically, the…
It has been a 1.5-2 year sideways affair for the precious metals (PM), depending on whether you look at silver (peak in April of 2011)…
2012 wasn't a fun year for most Gold bulls. Seeing the S&P 500 outperform Gold and seeing Gold stocks get decimated through the 1st half…
Mr. Hugh Hendry is a successful hedge fund manager with a bit of a rock star aura in the financial community. He has a colorful…
There is lots of talk in the financial media about how there are diminishing returns from QE (i.e. money printing) with each successive round of…
I often harp on the Dow to Gold ratio, as I think it is the easiest way to see the "bigger picture" secular trend of…
Though I favor physical Gold held outside the banking system that can't get MF Global'd over those paper Gold derivatives known as Gold stocks, there…
And it is about time! After a 40% bear market (the second worst of the secular Gold stock bull so far), the large majority of…
To all those who say that deflationary collapses cannot happen in paper monetary systems, I ask you: don't the PIIGS-ies of Europe count? Because they're…
It's hard to make predictions, especially about the future. At least so the saying goes. When you're wrong, in my opinion, best to admit it…
The last time I called an important bottom in the precious metals sector was on December 29, 2011 (as documented here). Well, it's time for…
Well, first of all, bull markets climb a wall of worry. But second, there are some powerful media forces trying to maintain the status quo.…
Let me start by re-iterating that I am a secular permabull on physical precious metals, particularly Gold. When you're dealing with the end of the…
I am speaking of the intermediate term move in paper assets versus hard assets, affectionately referred to as "Gold versus paper" around here. Paperbugs had…
I stumbled onto this little gem about a year ago and I think it is about to work its magic again. I am speaking of…
Now that my subscribers and I are fully into bullish positions in the precious metals sector, I hope they won't mind me telling you that…
There is no significant decoupling in our current global economy. As I am typing this, the Chinese stock market (Shanghai Index or $SSEC) is making…
As someone in the USA who tends to read more US-centric commentary, I continue to see analysts look almost exclusively at the US markets. Because…
It's more subtle and sophisticated than "buy Gold and get rich." But in the end, not much. Traders and speculators are always looking for the…
I promise that for now, this is the last time I will comment on the Japanese stock market. I only feel the need to scream…
