| The Three Gold Camps |
| I believe I have found a suitable starting point when I talk about Gold, and I’d like to share it with you to help explain “WHY” to your friends and family. With people who have little or no knowledge of gold, I have decided to start all conversations by narrowing down the different gold “Camps”. Let’s call them the “3 Gold Camps” and here they are:Monday, March 30, 2020 |

| A Few Words on the Gold Sector |
| As the long-term interest rate Amigo continues upward, the anti-USD ‘inflation trade’ continues onward and more and more gold bug writers emerge from the woodwork, it is time for a little antidote to the inevitable pitches and hype to come.Everything is playing to script and with this little pullback to a higher low in the miners being resolved in the favored direction, the writer bugs are going to further their bullish message and try to get more reader bugs to follow their guidance.

| An Interview with GoldCore Founder, Mark O’Byrne |
| “Uber-bull predictions of gold at over $5,000 per ounce are not beyond the realms of possibility…”
So says GoldCore founder and self-confessed gold bug, Mark O’Byrne.
Indeed, I recently caught up with Mark to get his thoughts on gold and what’s going on with it right now…
But before we got to the nitty-gritty, I started by asking him a little about his background:
GLENN: How long have you been in the gold business, Mark?

Year of the POP
If you'd like to read "Year of the POP", I'm sure you can guess where it can be found. ;D
At the Speakeasy, we discuss things like bullion, bitcoin, bubbles, banking, and much much more. As I did in Nine, at the ninth anniversary of this blog, and back in May at the second anniversary of the new Speakeasy, I have started a new tradition of sharing samples from the Speakeasy here. For this one, I picked a fun post from back in August. It's about the coat-check room view oTuesday, January 2, 2018 |

| Cheering for Bitcoin |
| We have published many articles, arguing that bitcoin is unsound. Yet for all those arguments, there is a bright side to bitcoin. It is exciting to see that there is an audience of millions of people—mainstream people, not wild-eyed End-The-Fed gold bug preppers who keep their gold hoards with their stockpiles of ammo—who are looking for an alternative to the Fed’s failing fiat currency. Or if not looking actively, at least receptive to it.
We believe that the most important force contributing tMonday, December 18, 2017 |

| Amid Bad Fundamentals, Gold Sector Rally May Have Begun |
| We have been expecting a seasonal rally in gold, silver and the miners off of a bottom due in either December or January, as is typical of the sector. I’ve marked up Sentimentrader‘s seasonal gold pattern to show the secondary low made (on average over 30 years) in December and the January ramp up that follows (on average).But we’ve long contended that noise about global strife (geopolitics), inflation and most of all China/India demand need to be tuned out and the larger component planets of thSaturday, December 16, 2017 |

| Gold And The Big Four: Slam Dunk |
| The synergistic relationship between gold and economic growth is quite healthy, and poised to become even more healthy in 2018 – 2019.
This is the fabulous South Korean stock market ETF chart.
Big name Western money managers are finally racing to move money into Asian markets, and this is great news for both gold and global stock markets.
For several years I’ve recommended that the gold community slightly reduce (but not drop) their focus on gold’s Western world fear trade and increase theiWednesday, November 8, 2017 |

| The Big Macro Play Ahead |

Of course, it is often years between these turning points or points of significant change so we are also about the here and now, and managing the trends, Old Turkey style.*Since we are all learning all the time, I have no problem admitting to you that while right and bullish on commodities and stocks in 2009, after becoming bullish on the precious metals in Q4 2008, I completely ignored Old Turkey due to my inner Saturday, October 28, 2017 |

| Falling Interest |
| Last week, we discussed the marginal productivity of debt. This is how much each newly-borrowed dollar adds to GDP. And ever since the interest rate began its falling trend in 1981, marginal productivity of debt has tightly correlated with interest. The lower the interest rate, the less productive additional borrowing has in fact become.
Let’s look at a recent event: the Ikea acquisition of TaskRabbit. You might wonder, why does a home goods company need to own a freelance labor company? SuperfiMonday, October 23, 2017 |

| Gold: Texbook Pullback In Play |
| Gold’s recent rally from the $1268 area lows has stalled, and the reasons for that are both fundamental and technical.
This is the daily gold chart. Gold fell about $100 from the $1362 area highs as seasonally soft Chinese buying was accompanied by a collapse in Indian demand.
That collapse was caused by the “Know Your Client” rule imposed by the government on gold jewellery purchases.
The price decline was exacerbated by the “Golden Week” holiday in China. Also, the Chinese government chopWednesday, October 18, 2017 |

| Effective Market Management: Art and Science |
| By Gary TanashianFrom Saul Steinberg’s 1954 drawing ‘The Line’The notion that there is art involved in interpreting the economy and financial markets is probably heresy to many market participants and probably 99.9% of economists (that .1% guy being the one who’s excluded from the meetings and egghead social gatherings), whether they be right or left leaning (I always find it entertaining to hear right wing and left wing economists duke it out, as I did on NPR yesterday, coming to diametrically Friday, September 29, 2017 |

| In Marketing and in Markets, Don't be the Mark! |

This content and especially the associated headlines (let’s recall the classic R.I.P. Bond Bull Market as Charts Say Last Gasps Have Been Taken, dated Dec. 2016 as but one example) are designed to whip up emotions, draw attention and thereby gain traffic and ad dollars (diminishing though they are these days). nftrh.com is and always will be ad-free, by the way.So sure,Sunday, September 24, 2017 |
