| Market Analysis For 2018 – Part Two |
| Part one discussed global stock and bond markets. Read it here. Since that article was written stock indices have bubbled higher. Some analysts are talking “melt-up” for stock markets. Regardless, bubbles crash eventually.
Part two addresses the U.S. dollar and gold prices.
The Dollar
The Dollar Index dropped from 102.28 on December 30, 2016 to 91.82 on December 29, 2017. The Index tracks the floating value of various unbacked fiat currencies against other fiat currencies also backed by nothingMonday, January 8, 2018 |

| 2018 could be the year for gold |
| We approach 2018 having seen the seeds planted in recent years for a monetary revolution. They include the massive world-wide expansion of credit and debt since the last credit crisis, and the advent of potentially disruptive cryptocurrencies. Geopolitical shifts of tectonic scale have occurred, hardly noticed by the ordinary person. That was until now. We are now on board a train which is gathering speed towards its buffers: the end of dollar hegemony and its potential collapse.It might take a Thursday, December 21, 2017 |

| Bad Rabbit Ransomware: ‘This Is A Targeted Attack’ |
| The Bad Rabbit ransomware is spreading across Europe not long after the WannaCry and NotPetya outbreaks. But Bad Rabbit is a “targeted attack” with widespread implications.
A new cyber attack is affecting numerous computer systems around Europe. The new strain of ransomware known as “Bad Rabbit” is believed to be behind all of the trouble. Bad Rabbit has spread to Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, and Germany. Cybersecurity firm Kaspersky Lab, which is monitoring the malware, has compared it to the WannThursday, October 26, 2017 |

| Time for a new gold standard for Asia |
| Over half the world’s population, living in the Eurasian land mass, understands that gold is money. The leaders of the Asian nations also know that this is true as well. The leaders of the security and economic alliance of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, which now incorporates most of these peoples, also know that to become independent of Western hegemony and to forge their own way, they must abandon Western financial systems and markets, replacing them with a new monetary order, servingThursday, July 6, 2017 |

| One of the saddest things about Britain’s recent general election was the level of ignorance displayed by all parties on the broad subject of political economics. I use the term to include both political philosophy and pure economic theory.Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Nationalists seem to think free markets are right-wing. The Conservatives appear to have lost all compass, most government ministers believing free markets without government regulation are chaotic, with unscrupulThursday, June 22, 2017 |

| the Final Standard |
| Gold: the Final Standard (2017), my third book about monetary topics, is now available in both eBook and print formats. I thought I would say a few words about how it came about.
It forms the third book of a sort of “gold trilogy,” as I see it, following Gold: the Once and Future Money (2007) and Gold: the Monetary Polaris (2013). Things were not really planned out that way, but I have the sense that it brings a level of completion to the topic. There will likely be more books in the future, soTuesday, June 6, 2017 |

| China’s Belt And Road To Nowhere |
| Moody’s Investors Service downgraded China’s credit rating recently to A1 from Aa3. The rational being that it expects the financial strength of the economy to erode, as GDP growth slows and debt levels continue to pile up. What is Beijing’s response to the slowing economy and intractable debt accumulation that was just underscored by Moody’s: issue a mountain of new debt in order to pave over 60 countries around the globe?

| Russian Lawmaker Issues Sobering Threat: We’re Willing To Use Nukes To Defend Crimea |
| As of late, the media has forgotten about tensions between Ukraine, NATO, and Russia. Crimea and the conflict in Eastern Ukraine have largely left the public’s awareness. However, that shouldn’t be the case, because this region is still a powder keg that could blow at any time. And if it does, it could easily result in another world war.
If you don’t think the situation in Ukraine could still explode into a wider conflict, take a look at what this member of Russia’s parliament recently said at aWednesday, May 31, 2017 |

| President Trump just took a trip to Saudi Arabia in an effort to obsequiously “shore up” the ties. Expected. It is expected for any U.S. president to “recertify” the Petrodollar and the commitments to protect the House of Saud that were initiated by Kissinger and Nixon almost five decades ago. Times change, and administrations change; however, the systems in place are very slow and resistant to modification.

If You Understand History and Economics, You Understand Gold  |
| by Egon von Greyerz
How can ordinary people ever understand the importance of gold when they are continuously fed with false and distorted facts. The latest publication to publish false and ignorant propaganda on gold is the British weekly magazine the Economist. The article begins with a graph of gold starting in September 2011. Anyone who knows anything about gold recognises that this is the time when gold reached a peak of $1,930. Between 1999 and 2011 gold had gone from $250 to $1,930 whichMonday, April 24, 2017 |

| This article identifies the headwinds faced by the EU in the wake of Brexit.Without the UK, not only does the EU lose much of its importance on the world stage, but the Commission’s budget is left with an enormous hole. That is the decline. The fall is well under way, with capital flight significantly worse than generally realised, as a proper understanding of TARGET2 imbalances shows. Not only is the ECB running out of options, but without major support from Germany, France and Italy, Brussels Thursday, April 6, 2017 |

| Could there be a crash coming in 2017? Will increasing interest rates at the Federal Reserve trigger the beginning of the end?
It is possible, but not certain.
It will fall, perhaps, after a new sense of normal sets in, and some become comfortable with the change in leadership, and accustomed to drowning out the opposition yelling noisily from the other side. Expectations have been set for a growing economy, fresh infrastructure and new hopes for the average worker.

Trump Takes Over: Pros and Cons  |
| I wake up every morning and express the most euphoric thanks that Donald Trump won the presidency on November 8th. The immense feeling of relief at not having to endure the Hilldebeast and her odious horndog husband in the White House for four years is indescribable. It’s akin to waking up from a grotesque nightmare and realizing that what I thought was a lethal danger consuming my life was just a dream. There is still some sanity left in America after all.

| A Lion in Fiji: Berukoff Touts Buried Gold, Out of Country - Peter Diekmeyer |
| Walter Berukoff, CEO of Lion One Metals, illustrates in two
sentences his fondness for precious metals. “My grandparents came here from
Eastern Europe,” he explains. “What they brought with them was their gold.”
Berukoff’s grandparents weren’t alone. Decedents of slews of
political and economic refugees relate similar experiences.
They explain in part Berukoff’s penchant for international
opportunities, the latest of which is the Tuvatu gold play in the South Pacific
