Are We Going to $1,120 or $1,510 No Matter What, Own Some Gold!
Who will win: bulls or bears? The LBMA published its annual forecast survey for precious metals prices in 2018. Gold prices range from $1,120 to $1,510. Where is the price of the yellow metal headed? Summary of the Survey The views of about 30 analysts in the 2018 forecasts are strongly divergent. The average price of gold is projected to be $1,318, so it is expected to be around the current level, but almost 5 percent higher than the last year’s average of $1,257.12. However, the average gold p

Hussman: "I Expect the SP 500 to Lose 2/3 of Its Value"
There are bears and then there are bears. Hussman claims he is not a PermaBear, no matter how he sounds. John Hussman's latest weekly article is called "Measuring the Bubble". The following snip is lengthy, but not in comparison to Hussman's original text which I encourage everyone to read in full. Hussman displayed 9 charts and tables, I only snipped one of them. I dispense with my usual blockquotes for ease in reading. The end of the snip should be easy to find. Begin Hussman: Measuring the

More on Interest Rates and Time Preference
In a recent column for Mises Wire, Doug French raised very important issue of negative interest rates.  Quoting Fleckenstein Capital He wrote,Yesterday a Parisian BBB-rated company (i.e., quasi junk) issued $500 million in three-year notes yielding negative 0.026%. We have been peppered with so many absurdities, nothing seems absurd anymore…French continues with his own observations: [The French utility company] Veolia Environnement S.A. floated €500 million of debt, rated just 2 notches above j

The Existence of Evil
In these last days science has retrograded and been driven back. It has been bent and twisted under the obligation imposed upon it, if I may so speak, of denying the existence of Evil under pain of being convicted of denying the existence of God.Writers whose business it is to display exquisite sensibility, unbounded philanthropy, and unrivaled devotion to religion, have got into the way of saying, “Evil cannot enter into the providential plan. Suffering is no ordinance of God and nature, but co

Precious Metals’ Ultimate Downside Protection
With each passing day, the deception Central bankers stoop to, in a desperate attempt to maintain a status quo that has enriched the “1%” at the expense of all others, stair-steps inexorably higher.  Frankly, it’s surreal watching it all play out – knowing full well, that the only thing standing between the spectacular, terrifying final act of history’s largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme is the historic, unfathomably blatant rigging of all financial markets; utilizing the most advanced

Central Bank Hubris That Would Make Icarus Blanche
In Greek mythology, hubris is defined as excessive pride or self-confidence, in defiance of the gods, which ultimately brings about one’s demise.  Synonyms include arrogance, conceit, self-importance, egotism, pomposity, superciliousness, and superiority – with some of the most famous mythological examples being Phaethon, Narcissisus, Arachne, and Cassiopeia; and in modern times, Richard Nixon, Tiger Woods, and Mel Gibson.  However, the “poster child” of hubris, in my view, is Icarus; who, in de

5 Highly Respected Financial Experts That Are Warning That A Market Crash Is Imminent
This article was originally published by Michael Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog If everything is going to be “just fine”, why are so many big names in the financial community warning about an imminent meltdown?  I don’t think that I have seen so many simultaneous warnings about a market crash since just before the great financial crisis of 2008.  And at this point, you would have to be quite blind not to see that stocks are absurdly overvalued and that a correction is going to happen at s

The End Of Trust, And Rise Of Real Money
In last week’s “historic market manipulation, setting the stage for catastrophe” – as well as dozens of other articles and podcasts – I demonstrated, in painstaking detail, the gross misallocations, inequities, and fraud caused by the artificial “support” of “favored” asset classes like stocks, bonds, and real estate – whilst the “unfavored” gold and silver markets were mercilessly suppressed, to equally deleterious global effect. This weekend’s “wide world of PiMBEEB” demonstrated ten such situ

Trump Adding Muck Rather Than Draining The Swamp – Eric Dubin on Operation Freedom
Trump is surrounded by Neo-Conservative swamp creatures.  Dr. Dave Janda welcomes Eric Dubin to Operation Freedom for a gut check on Trump’s first 100 days in office.  It’s not pretty… TND Podcast Spotlight:  Operation Freedom Dr. Janda argues the Trump Administration is largely a Goldman Sachs driven establishment presidency.  Sadly, I’d have to agree.  The gulf between Trump’s populist campaign promises and radical Inauguration speech that waxed eloquently about ending business as usual in W

  Alan Greenspan renews gold advocacy, Part 1
Gold Investor/World Gold Council/2-16-2017 MK note: Former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan is interviewed in the most recent issue of the World Gold Council’s Gold Investor magazine.  As most of you already know, Greenspan is a long-time advocate of private gold ownership as well as the gold standard.  Some see his chairmanship of the Fed and gold advocacy as contradictory, but in fact, Greenspan always saw the two as complementary.  Here is a very interesting quote taken from the interview: “When

Trump, Russia and China
Even before he takes office, President-elect Trump is turning the world upside down.It has become clear his attitude towards Russia and China is very different from that of his predecessors. Amazingly, he is already wresting power from the deep state, causing it great resentment, which under Obama, Clinton and the Bushes, ran geopolitical policy. From January, barring accidents the world will not be the same, the establishment up-ended.This short article builds on information available to date a

Will India try restricting gold ownership Anonymous sources are contradictory
By Neha Dasgupta From Reuters Friday, November 25, 2016 The government may impose curbs on domestic holdings of gold as Prime Minister Narendra Modi intensifies a fight against "black money," news agency NewsRise reported, citing an unnamed finance ministry official. NewsRise did not provide further details. A finance ministry spokesman declined to comment on the report.

Build Me Up Trumpercup! Question to Doctors: Is Trump Schizophrenic
The numbers of emotional swings, contradictions, and media blow-ups from Donald Trump has me seriously wondering if he has some form of schizophrenia. Google popped up this definition of schizophrenia. In general use: “a mentality or approach characterized by inconsistent or contradictory elements.” Contradictions vs. Broken Promises During the campaign, Trump said: “If I win I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation.” At rallies Trump d

Second Presidential Debate and Gold
On Sunday, there was the second presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. What could this event bring for the gold market? The second presidential debate is behind us. As the first one, it was tense with harsh exchanges, insults and accusations. Both candidates called each other liars and unfit for the office. For us, Trump performed better than in the previous debate and better than expected. He downplayed the tape with his vulgar sexual remarks (“it’s just words folks, it’s

Hawks, Doves and Gold
There is a split on interest rates among the Fed officials. What does it mean for the gold market? Yesterday, we covered the contradictory comments of Rosengren and Brainard about the economic outlook and interest rate hike prospects, and how their remarks influenced the intra-day price movement of gold. Let’s now dig into their speeches to analyze the arguments of both hawks and doves. Why does Rosengren want to hike? The resilience of the U.S. economy, despite the headwinds from the abroad: “

The "Giant Rise in the Value of Gold" Theory of the 1930s
Finally, we come to the last of what I find are the primary theories of some kind of monetary problem contributing to the Great Depression: the idea that there was some kind of dramatic rise in the value of gold. As I've said before, this is something of a minority theory. It was not part of the Keynesian narrative; not part of the Monetarist narrative; not part of the Austrian narrative; and mostly not part of the Blame France narrative, except in a small way. It was most memorably expressed
