The Retail Apocalypse Picks Up Speed As Sears, JCPenney, Brookstone And Mattress Firm Spiral Toward Bankruptcy |
This report was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse
Over 20 major retailers have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of last year, and in 2018 we may break the all-time record for annual store closings that was established just last year. We are in the midst of the worst retail apocalypse in American history, and it appears to be picking up speed as retail giants such as Sears, JCPenney, Brookstone and Mattress Firm spiral toward bankruptcy. We live at a time whThursday, October 4, 2018 |

Are We in Late Cycle Implications for Gold |
In the previous edition of the Market Overview, we explored the fascinating history of bull and bear cycles in both the U.S. dollar and gold. Since then, the idea of cyclicity doesn’t lead me to drop off, disrupting my sleep cycles. Let’s then dig into the topic. We start with the business cycles, as in the recent Gold News Monitor we wrote that “we are in the late stages of the economic cycle – as the cycle matures, volatility increases and investors start to buy more gold as a hedge.” Why do wSaturday, March 10, 2018 |

The Chicago Way Precious Metals Protection Plan |
Do you have a plan to protect your precious metals?
You should. I’m going to tell you mine today.
I’m from Chicago.
The second city. The windy city. The city of big shoulders.
All of that sounds nice, but if you’ve live in Chicago, the phrase that is always top of mind is not so romantic.
You may have heard it before. It’s the phrase that was famously mouthed by Sean Connery in the movie “The Untouchables” when he said “THATS the Chicago Way.”
The Chicago Way.

Doomsday Clock Ticks Closer To The Time Of The Apocalypse |
Citing advancements in North Korea’s nuclear program, scientists have moved the doomsday clock closer to midnight, the symbolic time of the apocalypse. This is the closest the clock has ticked toward a doomsday scenario.
The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which has been tracking the threat posed by nuclear weapons and other technologies since the 1940s, moved the second hand forward on their Doomsday Clock, which brings the world closer to its symbolic apocalyptic midnight by 30 seconds.

While Everyone Focuses on U.S. Government Shutdown, This Country Faces Crisis |
The U.S. government partially closed at midnight on Friday. But the UK deals with a much more serious crisis. Potentially also for gold.
Unlike the U.S. Government, the Gold Market Never Closes
So it happened again. The most powerful country in the world didn’t manage to renew another short-term government funding extension. It’s quite embarrassing, but we all should already get used to it. Since 1976, there have been almost 20 previous occurrences. But the world never collapsed. Why should it, Tuesday, January 23, 2018 |

The Robot Dystopian Hellish Apocalypse: ‘It WILL Eventually Affect YOU!’ |
As human beings continue to make enormous strides in the artificial intelligence technology, many continue to sound the alarm that it’s already gone too far. Some are warning that this imminent robot dystopian apocalypse “will eventually affect you.” But by then, it might be too late.

Retail Apocalypse and Gold |
Retail stores have been disappearing from the U.S. economy in 2017. What does it mean for the gold market?
Writing about the retail apocalypse during Christmas time may be a bit odd, but the numbers do not lie. From January to September 2017, 6,752 locations, excluding grocery stores and restaurants, were scheduled to close. It’s more than twice compared to the 2016 total and very close to the all-time high of 6,900 in a crisis 2008.
What are the reasons behind the closures of retail stores? ItThursday, December 21, 2017 |

We Have Tripled The Number Of Store Closings From Last Year, And 20 Major Retailers Have Closed At Least 50 Stores In 2017 |
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse
Did you know that the number of retail store closings in 2017 has already tripled the number from all of 2016? Last year, a total of 2,056 store locations were closed down, but this year more than 6,700 stores have been shut down so far. That absolutely shatters the all-time record for store closings in a single year, and yet nobody seems that concerned about it. In 2008, an all-time record 6,163 retail stores werWednesday, November 29, 2017 |

New Apocalypse Warning: ‘The Earth Will Crack’ On Halloween Day This Year |
A YouTube channel is claiming to have evidence that points to Halloween day as the “end of time.” Those who have claimed October 31 will be the apocalypse have also said that on that day, “the Earth will crack.”
The real apocalypse will begin on October 31 when the “Earth will crack” according to conspiracy theorists, says The Express UK.

Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to our planet’s natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on Mother Nature’s good side.

I wasn’t planning to write another article this week – as tomorrow morning (Friday), I’m taping a MUST LISTEN interview with one of the smartest investors in the Precious Metals/Cryptocurrency space; Edward Blake, the Renegade Investor. Not to mention, it’s the middle of August, and I have yet to take a day off from publishing all year.

The war of words between the U.S. and North Korea continues. What does it imply for the gold market?
The rising tensions between the U.S. and North Korea are the hottest topic right now. Yesterday, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis issued a statement saying that Pyongyang “must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons” and that North Korea “should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people.” HThursday, August 10, 2017 |

Fine Gold versus F.I.N.E. Central Banks - Gary Christenson |
Gold is one of nature’s finest creations.
On the other hand, central banks create trillions of fiat currency
units – dollars, euros, yen, quataloos, whatever – from nothing and use
those currency units for purchases … Apple stock, salaries for a
thousand Ph.D. economists, office buildings, lobbyists, politicians,
gold bullion etc.
It is unfair that the Fed creates trillions of dollars from nothing
and values those dollars equally with other dollars created from the

Gold and Silver Commentary:
Gold bottomed in December of 2015 and again in December 2016, but gold prices have risen for the past six months. The 50 day moving average (gold, but not yet silver) has crossed above the 200 day moving average – a so-called “golden cross.” Expect higher prices for both gold and silver.
Gold should move higher for several years given the increasingly dangerous global economic conditions, low interest rates and continual fiat currency devaluations. A major stock maFriday, June 16, 2017 |
