Stocks extended gains also on Tuesday, leaving the top-callers frustrated yet again. Just as I wrote yesterday, with new all-time highs being made again, it's hard to turn bearish at this juncture as most of the charts I'm looking at, aren't flashing newly arriving...

Stocks extended gains yesterday, and don't appear to be topping out today. With new all-time highs being made again, it's hard to turn bearish at this juncture as most of the charts I'm looking it, aren't flashing newly arriving signs of danger.

For those who have come to be convinced of the silver price manipulation, as well as those who remain unconvinced, I ask you to put aside all thoughts about derivatives trading, concentrated short positions and epic double crosses and think about something...

The hype and hope being promulgated by Wall Street and D.C. is that the imminent and well-advertised approval of vaccines will bring the economy back to what they characterize as its pre-pandemic state of health. However, even if these prophylactics are very...

Friday's upswing took stocks to the all-time highs again, and the tech sector was in the driver's seat. Healthcare and consumer discretionaries also did well, but that's far from enough as the market breadth indicators keep flashing non-confirmations. And they're...

There is now a quite widely held conviction that following its major breakout and strong runup, silver will need to correct back further than it has thus far to ease its overbought condition, but the evidence that we are going to consider today suggests that it will...

Silver is on a major BUY signal at the end of July. SLV is on short-term sell signal. Next major resistance at $33, and support at $19.

When the model favors stocks, investors should overweigh in equities for maximum growth.

That we are even having this conversation is proof that we are and have been in……Wonderland for years now. Since at least 2001, actually. Back then Alan the Wizard Greenspan (mixing classic fairy stories, I know) began pulling levers that could never be un-pulled....

Earlier this week, precious metals markets got a surprising Buffett bounce. Legendary investor Warren Buffett isn’t often associated with gold – at least not in a positive way. In the past Buffett has made derisive comments about the monetary metal. He once quipped...

Stocks had the perfect excuse to decline based on Fed's guarded tone and no yield curve control around the corner – but apart from the late Wednesday selloff, they didn't. Yesterday's early U.S. session selling pressure aided by weak new unemployment claims, didn't...

Egon von Greyerz predicts an economic destruction of markets and asset values and a major wealth transfer and tell’s The Capital Network’s Executive Director Lelde Smits who stands to lose and gain the most. Egon von Greyerz specialises in wealth management and...

The 1987 stock market crash occurred after a period with a similar build up to the 2020 crash. After being stuck in a range for a number of years in the 1970s and the 2000s, the Dow managed to break higher after a significant gold peak in 1980 as well as 2011...

After flirting with new all-time highs, stocks reversed on the Fed seeing slowing labor market and planning no yield control for now. Volume is slowly returning, prices aren't making material headway, which is lending the stock market a tired look.

While still trading in a tight range, stock bulls are making steady progress on a daily basis. The slow grind higher just goes on, regardless of a daily weakening in the advance decline line or advance-decline volume, or the $VIX attempting to rise yesterday. The...

After months of the U.S. Mint dealing with supply issues, shutdowns, and new employee policies dealing with the global contagion, sales of Silver Eagles finally jumped in August.  Due to the U.S. Mint implementing new employee safety guidelines at the mint, they are...

Trading in a tight range again, stocks are set up for a sizable move – and if you look at the credit markets, I think a break of the Feb highs is at hand. Don't be taken in by the lackluster daily advance decline line or advance-decline volume – $VIX doesn't appear...

Do precious metals still represent good value? With gold just coming off a new all-time high above $2,000/oz and silver having more than doubled off its March bottom, some investors may be wary of entering these markets right now.

Many precious metals investors are wondering if the silver price will continue to rally over the next several months.  Well, that depends on what happens to the silver price over the next two weeks.  In my newest video update, Will The Silver Rally Continue In...

Refusing to decline or rise intraday, stocks are getting ready for a sizable move – and I think it would be to the upside. But it might not happen without moving lower first, as the flattening $VIX shows. The advance decline line doesn't really bring much short-term...

In case you haven’t noticed, we now live under tyranny, and over the next several years, thanks to the unquestioning zombielike submission of the masses, it is set to get a whole lot worse.

One of my reasons I started this website years ago was to counter all the denial that I saw in the mainstream media about how long and deep the problems from the Great Financial Crisis would be and about how we were failing in every way to resolve the greed, decay...

In watching the travesty of disinformation, misinformation, and moral hazard formation ongoing in the global financial markets, I am immediately reminded of a case study from my university days of which I was a part, the nature of which required that our team...

After nearly 7 years of consolidation and mostly sideways trading, the silver price is finally experiencing a powerful breakout. It did not take long after breaking above the psychologically-important $20 level for silver to climb another nearly 50% toward $30.

Silver is on a major BUY signal at the end of July. Long term – on BUY signal as of end of July. Short term – on sell signal. A correction is in progress. 

Our benchmark S&P500 is on a long-term sell signal, a major correction is in progress. The current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

Today, if gold had the same kind of performance as the Dow since around the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, then it would have topped out at around $7 758 [(29568/78.78)*20.67]. Yet, it only has an all-time high of about $2 089.

Another day, another attempt at the Feb highs, and the upper knots of S&P 500 candlesticks give the daily chart a bearish look. How justified is that – are stocks about to move seriously lower? In today's analysis, I'll present the outlook based on the many...

Yes, it looks like Silver has caught up. After all, a move from US$11.64 to US$29.86 is quite a feat for what was previously a multiyear sideways range from US$14 to US$19. But consider the following. When in 2011 Gold had its high at US$1,920, Silver’s high was US$...

On Monday, the price of silver continued its epic skyrocket. We say this without hyperbole, this kind of price action does not happen every day. Or every year. It occurs perhaps once a decade. And the same can be said for Monetary Metals writing so many articles...

Stocks have yet again approached the all-time highs, but on volume that wasn't this low in months – that's a red flag. The stimulus talks haven't really progressed, but markets there is no jittery sentiment as the put/call ratio stubbornly clinging to its lows show...

From within spitting distance of the all-time highs, stocks forcefully retreated, validating my call of a bear raid being likely to arrive soon. Just as I wrote, the bulls better tread carefully entering this week's trading – after being soundly defeated on Monday,...

Stocks are getting so much closer to the all-time highs – day in and day out. The bear raid I anticipated, has been soundly defeated yesterday, stocks are extending gains and adding to my open profits  Sure, greed is elevated, but not absolutely extreme. There aren'...

Many investors focus exclusively on gold as their precious metal investment of choice. I am an enthusiastic investor in gold myself. However, I think silver is also worth a close look, especially in the current macroeconomic environment. Both silver and gold are...

Silver prices aren’t just rising; they’re erupting! Silver has been ascending at a far steeper rate than the climactic move of 2010-2011 which briefly brought prices back up to all-time nominal highs.

I was prepared to lead this week's commentary with an emphatically bullish prediction for the dollar, which seems to have few friends these days. Alas, even though a major tone change is coming, it will be at least a few more weeks if not longer before this occurs,...

Today let’s take a look at the bad boy of the PM complex, silver. If you’ve been following silver for any length of time then you know it can be aggravating at times as we’ve seen fairly recently when gold and the PM stocks have been running pretty hot to the upside...

The S&P 500 closed again above the mid-Feb bearish gap, and the talk of taking on the all-time highs is intensifying. So does the greed that's growing more extreme with each passing day. With the put/call ratio approaching the early June lows, it's getting...

Today, I would like to take a stroll down memory lane and revisit an issue that dominated the endless and often heated daily conversations I had with my dearly departed old friend, Israel Friedman. In the early days (circa the mid-1980’s), Izzy’s interest in my...

The silver market witnessed another explosive day! Recently aAt midnight (in London), the price of the metal was $26.90. By 9pm, it had rocketed up to $28.95, a gain of 7.6%. This is not normal. But then, we are not in a normal world.
