| The Answer To The Most Frequently Asked Question |
| It’s early Tuesday, and it’s hard to recall a day where complacency reigned so supremely. The product, of course, of the historic market manipulation that exponentially “stair-stepped” on Election night – when Trump’s “BrExit times 10” dealt a mortal blow to TPTB, forever ending America’s role as a global “superpower.” Not because Trump the person makes a whit of difference – as frankly, it would be impossible for him to be worse than Hillary (and Bill) Clinton. But instead, as said “powers tThursday, July 27, 2017 |

| The Co-Existence Of “Scarcity Assets” |
| On this day before yet another FOMC propaganda event, how can stock futures not be higher – given that, per the well-documented “pre-FOMC drift” manipulation scheme, for the past decade, stocks have enjoyed their biggest gains the days before and during FOMC announcements. Conversely, how can Precious Metals not be suppressed – per the 87th “2:15 AM” EST attack of the past 1,002 trading days – i.e., the open of the ultra-thinly traded London “pre-market” paper trading session; in this case, witWednesday, July 26, 2017 |

| Platinum, The Forgotten Precious Metal-Revisited |
| My good friend Adam Meister – i.e, the “Bitcoin Meister” of (rapidly increasing) YouTube fame – sagely stated today, “you get rich slowly, and poor quickly” – which goes double for those utilizing traditional valuation metrics in historically manipulated markets. Fortunately, no financial manipulation, throughout the course of history, has ended well; and now that the “custodians” of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi have reached their ‘trapped rats on a sinking ship’ moment, the “Tuesday, June 13, 2017 |

| All Out Political, Economic, And Financial Warfare! |
| Like it or not, we are living through a major inflectionary point in human history; on more fronts; with more lasting, and dramatic changes than any before it. Yes, there have been hundreds of humanity-altering wars throughout history. However, never have so many people been impacted by current events; as, for example, there are 7.4 billion people today, compared to 2.3 billion at World War II’s onset. And while WWII shaped the culture, economic and monetary, and physical borders for generatiWednesday, March 22, 2017 |

| Is It All About The Donald |
| While everybody’s attention is glued to The Donald on this side of the pond (for all the wrong reasons?), big things, national election things, are happening in Europe this year, starting next month. First we have the Dutch General Election on March 15, which could start the ball rolling towards a breakup of the Europe Union (EU) this year, and not a word from the mainstream media (MSM) in America, only a month away now. Then we have French Presidential Election in April, and Legislative ElectioMonday, February 27, 2017 |

| Candidate Trump To President Trump, And All It Entails |
| Finally, gold recaptured its 50-day moving average of $1,190/oz – not for a lack of Cartel attempts to prevent it; having “lost” this widely watched technical support level in the aftermath of the heinous, historically blatant “post-Trump destruction” raid; after having surged, rightfully so, from $1,280/oz to $1,340/oz in the election’s immediate aftermath. After which, the “powers-that-be,” shocked by the world-changing loss they believed to be impossible, were forced to shift their manipulatMonday, January 16, 2017 |

| Gold Bottoming In Late December, For The Second Straight Year |
| After publishing my “2016 review, and 2017 predictions” opus on Friday; and writing the MUST READ “why Bitcoin will make gold and silver go up” on Christmas Day; I wasn’t planning to write this morning. However, several articles and news items inspired me to pen today’s offering; which per its self-evident title, suggests we may be amidst perhaps the best Precious Metals buying opportunity since a year ago, when prices bottomed the day the Fed, LOL, “raised rates” to “preserve credibility – wheTuesday, December 27, 2016 |

| Is Stockman Right Is This The Big One |
| It’s early Monday morning, on what could not only be an historically bad week for global financial markets, but the “beginning of the end” of the manipulated worldwide perception that “everything’s OK.” Most of the world’s 7.4 billion denizens know this already, having watched their savings, currencies, standards of living, and political and/or social stability decline substantially since the 2008 financial crisis. Which also goes for the majority of Westerners, I might add. However, WesternTuesday, September 27, 2016 |

| Janet Yellen, The Ultimate Red Herring |
| When I think of all the vacations, holidays, and market “slow periods” the Cartel has deprived me peace of mind during, by attacking when everyone else is taking it easy; over a 15-year period, no less; you can see why I have never been angrier. That said, per what I wrote earlier this week, I have no regrets about my career or investment decisions – and frankly, have never been less worried.
This week is a perfect example – as heading into today’s COMEX options expiration, a Cartel desperate tThursday, August 25, 2016 |

| Everything is Fixed… Not! |
| It’s early Tuesday – and as I said in my first official Tweet this morning, don’t count on the “summer doldrums” lasting too long. Particularly in the case of Precious Metals, if you believe a blatantly “BS NFP Report,” defying every other piece of economic data, will prevent terrified people, the world round, from PROTECTING themselves from the hyperinflation some currencies are already experiencing, and others shortly will.

| Bank Monte Paschi and $20.46 Silver – Infamously Linked for Posterity |
| It’s early Monday, and fear is in the air, even if the PPT has “Dow Jones Propaganda Average” futures slightly higher. Last week, the “Fed might raise rates” meme died on the vine – first Wednesday, when the Fed, like a deer in headlights, noted nothing other than it’s perpetual “data dependence; with the “death blow” coming Friday, with possibly the worst GDP “miss” in U.S. history.
In both cases, desperate Cartel attempts to cover their all-time high gold and silver shorts were foiled, settinMonday, August 1, 2016 |

| Clueless Bank of Japan Exemplifies the Awe Inspiring, Irreversibly Destructive Power of the Printing Press |
| It’s Friday morning, and the astounding long, massively broad list of “PM-bullish, everything-else-bearish” headlines since Wednesday afternoon’s post-FOMC Audioblog is incredible to behold. Which is why it’s never been more obvious that Precious Metals are the imploding fiat Ponzi’s “canary in the coal mine”; “Achilles’ Heel”; and all other similar analogies, metaphors, and comparisons combined. Or, for that matter, the “enemy” of all financial markets – which since 2011 in the West, and 2015Friday, July 29, 2016 |

| Finally, The Long Awaited "Commercial Signal Failure" is Nigh! |
| Following Wednesday’s all-out Fed capitulation – that not only are no “rate hikes” in the offing, but likely, never will be (LOL, Peter Schiff said “an alien invasion is more likely than a July rate hike”), I taped a MUST LISTEN audioblog titled “it’s official, Central banks are dead.” As validated by St. Louis Fed President James Bullard’s stunning admission Thursday – yes, the same James Bullard who less than three months ago, said the next rate hike “may not be far off” – that the Fed’s “updMonday, June 20, 2016 |

| The Most Overhyped Non-Event in Economic History |
| It’s early Thursday morning, here at my article-writing home-away-from-home, Denver International Airport (featuring the “horsie with crazy eyes,” according to Sylvie) and I’d like to start by once and for all, ending the “debate” over whether Precious Metal prices are manipulated. I mean, just how much of a pariah can you be, when as the world’s largest derivatives holder, the “powers that be” still allow you to be caught “fixing” (i.e, suppressing) silver prices?

| Shooting Historic Blanks |
| The Keystone Kops Central banks; and their gasping, fumbling market manipulations; are clearly in their death throes. Most of the world’s currencies have dramatically plunged – whilst the volatility of currency “markets” has gone parabolic – which I might add, I two years ago deemed the “single most PM bullish factor imaginable.”
Which just happens to when the Cartel-orchestrated gold and silver “bear markets” ended in most currencies – before the epicenter of such suppression, the U.S. dollarWednesday, April 13, 2016 |

No mentions of the California gas pipeline leak, 8,000 feet underground, raging like a “volcanic eruption” for two months. Nor that Puerto Rico’s January 1st debt payment, to quote its governor, will be “impossible” to pay. Or that the Fed, “rate hike” and all, just lowered its own estimate of fourth quarter GDP gMonday, December 28, 2015 |

| FORGET THE FED, OPEC JUST SEALED THE GLOBAL ECONOMY’S TERRIFYING FATE |
| It’s midday Friday, and my lovely wife and I are flying to Minneapolis for Miles Franklin’s annual Holiday Party. It’s been another tumultuous year of Cartel-induced stress, but Miles Franklin remains “long and strong” – having built a rock-solid reputation for industry-leading client service, competitive prices, and unsurpassed informational content. I look forward to seeing my colleagues, and complementing them on a job well done!

| Is the Fed That Stupid |
| It’s Monday morning, and man do I have a lot to talk about! Frankly, Merriam and Webster need to create new adjectives to describe the idiocy governments, Central banks, and corporations alike are exhibiting – as at this point, moronic, suicidal, tragic, and catastrophic are starting to be overused. Not that their moronic, suicidal, tragic, catastrophic actions are any different than those of the governments, Central banks, and corporations of yore. However, never have such entities been expoWednesday, December 2, 2015 |

| Rate Hike or Bust – With An Emphasis on Bust |
| In the interest of getting some well-earned rest this weekend, I’m writing this midday Friday. Of course, this morning’s “better than expected” NFP employment report – and subsequent increase of “December rate hike probability futures” to 72% is all the rage, as “TPTB” are doing everything in their power to fool convince the dumbed-down citizenry that the “worst global economy of our lifetimes” doesn’t impact the Almighty America – even if every imaginable data point, empirical and anecdotal, sMonday, November 9, 2015 |
