Common commodity misconceptions |
Commodities are the most basic economic goods, providing essential inputs into progressively more complex goods at advanced stages of production. Yet the economic mainstream generally fails to understand commodities, treating them as distinct from the processes whereby they are created and the processes they subsequently enable, when in fact they are an integral part of a dynamic, complex, adaptive economic system. A correct understanding of commodities is essential if we are to understand what Saturday, October 14, 2017 |

Is The Fed Delaying The Day Of Reckoning |
There Is No Economic Recovery!
The FED and the Corporate World understand that there is NO economic
recovery. They need to keep feeding this 'bull market' with plenty of accommodative
easing or this 'bull' will die. The FED will do whatever it takes to maintain
this by cutting rates to near zero and below so asto spruce up the economy. However,
these conventional policies that are being applied, by the FED, will
not work seeing as the 'deflationary forces' have gained momentum. Global

How NOT to Invest in the Gold Market |
Investor psychology is an interesting phenomenon to study. Despite the obviously negative implications, a large percentage of investors have a tendency to buy high and sell low. When the price has been rising and everyone is bullish, they decide to jump in near a top. When prices are dropping sharply and everyone is selling, they get fearful and decide to exit their positions near the bottom.Herd mentality, or mob mentality, describes how people are influenced by their peers to adopt certain behWednesday, May 25, 2016 |

The Winter of Discontent |
By: Peter Schiff, President and CEO Euro Pacific CapitalThe Winter of 2015-2016, which came to an end a few weeks ago, has been officially designated as the mildest in the U.S. in 121 years according to NOAA. While this fact will certainly add a major talking point in the global warming debate, it should also be front and center in the current economic discussion.

"The fear of a backlash against the political establishment is absolutely palpable in Washington. Whatever they may dutifully mouth in public, even the professional denizens of the nation's capital really believe that there has been a recovery. It is not difficult to believe in a recovery when your stock portfolio has been inflated by the Fed's QE. So, they are all genuinely mystified about why the common folk are restless."

A Sweet Trade Setup for The Holiday Season - Tis the Season! |
Before I dig into the nitty gritty of this potentially sweet trade setup,
I would like to first wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday!
Being from Canada I'm very lucky to be able to spend quality time with my
family for the next month down in the sunshine state of Florida. I sure love
the ocean breeze, sand between the toes, palm trees, and heat. Its amazing
how cold Floridians make a sunny 70-degree day look being all bundled up in
pants, jackets, and hats, while I live inFriday, December 18, 2015 |

Onshore China Bond ETFs Benefit from Herd Mentality |
If so, this could be a nice tailwind for ETFs holding mainland Chinese bonds. It would mean that central banks around the would have to purchase up to up to $1 trillion worth of Chinese assets over the next several years, including potentially onshore bonds given that China's offshore debt market is just $60bn.

Gold Juniors' Strong Financials |
The smaller gold
miners and explorers have suffered catastrophic stock-price losses
in recent years. These extreme declines have led investors and
speculators to assume that much of this sector won?t survive lower
prevailing gold prices. But nothing could be farther from the
truth. The hated and left-for-dead junior-gold sector is not only
very strong financially today, but could still thrive at much lower
gold prices.

Ugly Outlook - Global Economics, Quantitative Easing and Equities |
A take on the global economy and equities markets that paints a simple and
clear pictures I think.
The DJIA index has recorded seven consecutive down days in a row! These 7
distribution days are a sign that many institutions are taking profits or establishing
losses.
As we are entering the second half of 2015, financial panic is occurring globally.
Currently, this tremendous

China's Stock-Bubble Burst |
China's stock
bubble has burst, with its stock markets utterly collapsing after
rocketing parabolic. The failure of this popular speculative mania
has grave implications for the global stock markets. It shatters
the universally-believed myth that central banks can nullify normal
market cycles. No government has more power over its stock markets
than China?s, yet not even it could magically eradicate greed and
fear.

China Stock Manias Global Risk |
The Chinese stock
markets have been rocketing higher in a popular speculative mania.
New Chinese investors are flocking to their local red-hot markets,
borrowing heavily to buy hyper-speculative stocks. Like all past
manias, this one is guaranteed to end badly. And when China?s
parabolic stock indexes inevitably collapse, the global stock
markets face serious risks of getting sucked into that fear-fueled
stampede.

US Dollar Goes Parabolic Vs. Russian Ruble and Japanese Yen |
Despite the junior resource sector being near a major bottom and going through
a bear market of epic proportions, I still believe that this may be one of
the best times to add to quality positions. Nothing perfects one's craft
in the financial markets like a bear market. In a bear market one has to refine
their skills in stock picking. The emergence of a new bull market is usually
the most propitious time for outsized gains.

Algorithmic Trading with Market Sentiment |
Algorithmic trading which is also known as automated trading has
changed the way I trade and invest dramatically. As you know trading is extremely
difficult to be consistently profitable in. The #1 reason individuals fail
is because they struggle with their emotions and end up trading with the general
market sentiment. While the herd mentality/feeling can and most of the time
feels like the proper (logical) way to look at the market, trading with the "herd
mentality" is the silent kiThursday, July 24, 2014 |

Fed-driven melt-up has accelerated again in recent weeks, with a string of new nominal record highs.This has reignited truly extraordinary levels of greed, euphoria, and complacency.But for traders who have witnessed past bull toppings, there is an ominous sense of deja vu.It turns out this past year?s strong stock-market action nearly perfectly matches that leading into the last bull-market top in 2007.This shouldn?t be surprising at all, as topping signs abound.The flagshSaturday, June 14, 2014 |

Retail Death Rattle Grows Louder |
[America’s supposed recovery from The Great Recession is a hoax so obvious that only the mainstream news media, too lazy, cowardly and stupid to stray even an inch from the officially approved narrative, could fail to see it. And yet, here we are, so glutted with brick-and-mortar retail space that even if it were to be reduced by half there would still be an economically fatal overhang.
