| Groundhog Week |
| In the "I hate to say I-told-you-so" category, it looks like the Punxsutawney Phil came out of his den last week, took one look at the state of the global stock markets, and decided to go back to bed for six years. One short week after I posted "Never Underestimate the Replacement Power of Equities Within a (HYPER) Inflationary Spiral," complete with a chart with five smiling faces of those that would be responsible for "Dow 25,800," we have lost a very quick 2,000 Dow points and 105 for the S&PFriday, February 9, 2018 |

| It's Looking A Lot Like 2008 Now... |
| Economic and market conditions are eerily like they were in late 2007/early 2008.
Remember back then? Everything was going great.
Home prices were soaring. Jobs were plentiful.
The great cultural marketing machine was busy proclaiming that a new era of permanent prosperity had dawned, thanks to the steady leadership of Alan Greenspan and later Ben Bernanke.
And only a small cadre of cranks, like me, was singing a different tune; warning instead that a painful reckoning in our financial system wTuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| Solar Minimum Continues
January's Sunspot count came in at 6.7, which was down from December's 8.2. The following chart includes the latest post and covers Solar Cycle 24.
The high was 145 in February 2014, which compares to the high of 238 in September 2003.
With the decline in solar activity, the number of Spotless days continues to grow. It's the way it works. So far, this year there has been 17 days, or 52% for the year. In all of 2017, the number was 104 days or 28% and the year before it wTuesday, February 6, 2018 |

| An analysis of silver charts leads technical analyst Clive Maund to conclude that silver should rise soon.
For many weeks we have been waiting patiently, like vultures perched on
the branches of trees, for the Large Specs to go belly up and croak,
and the good news is that they just have, so it's time for us to swoop
down and feast on the carcasses, the carcasses being silver and the

| Gold Bullish on Fed Hike 2 |
| Gold
has been battered lower in recent months as gold-futures speculators
fled in dread of the Fed-rate-hike boogeyman. As universally
expected, the Fed’s 5th rate hike of this cycle indeed came to pass
this week. When gold didn’t collapse as irrationally feared, the
cowering futures traders were quick to start returning. Past Fed
rate hikes have actually proven very bullish for gold, and this
latest one will be no exception.

| Greek Debt Groundhog Day: Deal Collapses After 8 Hours of Negotiation |
| Yet another Greek debt cliffhanger is in the works.
After eight hours of intense negotiations, Greece, EU creditors, and the IMF did not reach agreement on restructuring Greek Debt.
However, a big debt repayment does not come until July so negotiations will drag on and on. In the past, there was always a last minute deal. Will it be any different this time?

| Groundhog Day, Italian Style |
| Those who wish to understand Italian politics need only watch the American film classic “Groundhog Day“.
The movie stars Bill Murray who portray weatherman Phil Connors, an arrogant Pittsburgh TV weatherman who, during an assignment covering the annual Groundhog Day event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, finds himself in a time loop, repeating the same day again and again.
So it is with Italian politics. Prime minister Matteo Renzi lost a referendum by a much greater than expected margin, resigneWednesday, December 14, 2016 |

| Every dictator knows that a continuous state of emergency is the best means to justify tyrannical policies. The trick is to keep the fictitious emergency from breeding so much paranoia that routine activities come to a halt. Many have discovered that its best to make the threat external, intangible and ultimately, unverifiable.

| Audio 2014 |
| Once a year or so, I like to talk about some of my audio interests.
"Audio" means the machines that make music in your home.
I generally regard this as a sort of dormant hobby. It's something I
play around with intermittently, perhaps when I have a little free
time in the schedule. I don't take it too seriously. Nevertheless, a
lot seems to have happened since the beginning of 2013.

There are any number of names that can be used to describe the Administration's
policies. However, in this polite assembly it is best to stay with what is
printable and ask the question about which description fits best?
It is hard to avoid terms that have become derogatory epithets. Liberal is

Michael Ballanger: Using the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX.V) as a proxy for the junior mining sector, the TSX.V between 2003 and 2007 traded in a range of approximately 1.5 to 3.3 times the price of gold. In the 2008 crash, it went down to 0.8 times the price of gold. Going back 15, 20, 30, 40 years, the TSX.V had traded on a 1:1 correlation with eitMonday, January 21, 2013 |
