Dear Prime Minister: An exit strategy from the domestic and global monetary debasement arising from the combined economic effects of the coronavirus and a downturn in the credit cycle

The much-anticipated upswing continuation came yesterday, and the bulls certainly fought hard to keep up the upside momentum. To what degree have they been successful with most of the intraday gains evaporating before the closing bell?

The soup lines hadn’t formed yet. Jobs had not even noticeably started to dry up, but they weren’t as easy to find anymore. You had to be angry to quit without having a better job firmly in hand. Stocks were climbing furiously above an economy that had been slowly...

In recent days the Fed has made it plain that it is prepared TO BUY ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to prevent imminent total collapse, and you don’t have to join many dots to see that this will extend to BUYING STOCKS, and it’s not that hard for them – all they have to do...

As if the Fed’s unlimited QE wasn’t enough, we’ll get a $2T stimulus now. Predictably and much to our subscribers’ delight, the S&P 500 loved that. As it sprang to life, we’ve already cashed in an 82-point profit on that upswing. As we’re currently riding...

Breaking news: The Wall Street casino created another all-time high for the Dow during the week ending February 14. Then it fell 35% in March. The “pickle” description is explained below. Stay tuned.

The precious metals market continues to experience unprecedented demand for silver bullion products.  Even with the Fed increasing its liquidity injections by providing “Open-ended” QE to infinity, the Dow Jones Index today is still selling off considerably…. down...

On the heels of the Fed’s unlimited QE promise, the S&P 500 sprang to life finally. All the gains though were given up in less than three hours. As the futures keep climbing overnight, does it herald a turnaround?

In this second part of our research into the potential collateral damage, the Covid-19 global virus event may cause in the housing and commercial real estate markets, we want to start by sharing some information that severe cracks are already starting to appear in...

We reached out to Ted Butler of ButlerResearch.com to get some of his thoughts on spot price plunges this past month in COMEX silver and COMEX gold specifically.

The S&P500 upswing didn’t materialize on Friday, and our decision to go short has paid off handsomely. Taking stocks to new 2020 lows on both intraday and closing basis, the bears clearly had a field day. As the S&P 500 closed the week near its lows, which...

The U.S. National Debt is about to surge like never before, along with the rest of the entire planet’s gigantic pile of sovereign IOUs. America started with a $23.5 trillion debt before the Wuhan virus outbreak, with annual deficits running over a $1 trillion; and...

The pros who confidently bought the dips for more than a decade are now quietly selling the rallies. During the bull market, accumulating stocks on weakness was a no-brainer, as easy a ticket to big profits as investors will ever enjoy. But the bear market has ended...

More than a year and a half ago, EvG warned on USAWatchdog that “risk is exponential and unmeasurable” because of the estimated two quadrillion of derivatives and debt in the global financial system. He also warned that “at some point, all hell will break loose.”

In what is being called the worst financial crisis since 1929, the US stock market has lost a third of its value in the space of a month, wiping out all of its gains of the last three years. When the Federal Reserve tried to ride to the rescue, it only succeeded in...

As the carnage continues with stocks now ignoring anything the Fed throws at them — and the Fed has pretty well thrown everything it has used in the past and is now moving into bailout mode — where is the US stock market crash likely to to stop falling? So far, it’s...

Current market condition has wreaked havoc in all sectors, stocks, ETFs, currencies, and bonds. And the carnage may not be over as past major corrections in 2000 and again in 2008 were at 50 to 60%, and took more than a few months to complete. Currently, our...

In our last publication of our weekly silver chartbook we advised the purchase of physical silver. It was timely since shortly thereafter shortages of physical precious metal deliveries were common. Coins and bullion are now being sold as much as 100% above the cash...

It's ironic that the Covid-19 outbreak came to the fore at the same time that precious metals – gold and silver – were building out lengthy technical bottoms formed in 2016 and 2019, implying much higher prices to come.

The S&P 500 sank to new 2020 intraday lows yesterday, but staged a recovery in the closing hours. That’s what has happened in both preceding sessions. Will the gains finally stick one of these days?

You can only be so dead, and that’s just “plain dead.” But there is also Feddy Krueger dead. The kind of dead that keeps on happening like a demonic death that won’t stay dead. It is in that nightmarish Elm St. light that I’m going to review the Federal Reserve’s...

In yesterday’s free analysis, we explained why a short-term corrective upswing in the S&P 500 was likely just around the corner. In today’s article, we’ll discuss how it’s likely to impact our silver price forecast. We’ll also make comment on the current...

Bouncing off yesterday’s new 2020 intraday lows, the S&P 500 closed higher on the day. But what about today’s premarket action? The bulls didn’t add to their gains in the overnight trading. With the futures back below 2400, where next for the stock market?

The bust is on! Not only is the stock market crashing like never seen before (  The Big Trump Dump! Dow Index Down 3,000 Points!  ), but there are now deeply distressing breaks in the bond market. These staggering responses to Fed actions run counter to what is...

Going into yesterday’s trading, the S&P 500 could have shown some signs of life. After all, the pace of selling pressure looked to have abated with Friday’s encouraging reversal into the closing bell. But after a meek attempt to narrow the sizable gap at...

Wow, what a move we just saw in silver… Without further ado, let’s dive into the chart. Silver just plunged to our initial target level and reversed shortly after doing so. It was for many months that we’ve been featuring the above silver chart along with the...

The tensions in the oil market are very palpable, and today is no exception to strong moves. Can we talk about a bottom in sight?

Today’s crash wiped out almost the entire Trump Rally, going back to the day “The Donald” was elected President of the United States. The stock crash, rolling through our days like late-summer thunder, is a daily headline now, each day unimaginably worse than the...

The great debate on whether we’re going to see inflation or deflation has been answered in spades. For years some of the greatest minds of our time have discussed this issue in great detail with each side giving probable reasons as to why we’ll see either inflation...

Silver had been looking frail before last week’s breakdown, now it looks downright weak. It had been underperforming gold persistently in recent months, and the steep drop last week has greatly increased the risk of it breaking to new lows before much longer.

One of the worst weeks on Wall Street mercifully ended on Friday. After multiple sessions of panic selling, the markets caught an up-draft after US President Trump declared a national emergency over the coronavirus, thus freeing up $50 billion in federal aid to help...

Silver is on a major BUY signal. SLV is on short-term sell signal. Speculation on silver should show a much lower number next week.

The long-term signal remains on buy at month end. However, the current investing model favors bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

Yesterday’s session in stocks was a true bloodbath that extended well into today’s overnight sessions. It offered two glimmers of hope: one very temporary that came shortly after we exited our tremendously profitable short position, and the other that is unfolding...

As cancellations, emergency restrictions, and panic selling of assets spreads, the global economy is at risk of grinding to a halt. We are already in the throes of the worst market mayhem since 2008.

Stay with me on this… the purpose will become clear soon.  Assume (without laughing or crying) that our U.S. senators are honest individuals filled with integrity. Yes, I know, but stay with me… They voted during the impeachment trial for President Donald Trump....

Let’s say President Trump is right about the coronavirus “miraculously” fading away as temperatures rise in the Summer. Will things then go back to the old normal of globalization, free trade and finance-driven “growth”?

With the spread of the Global Contagion, the demand for physical precious metals has increased significantly.  According to the U.S. Mint’s newest update, another million Silver Eagles were sold over the past two days.  This brings to total Silver Eagle sales in...

If you think that yesterday’s session in stocks was a bloodbath, don’t look at today’s overnight trading. It would be an understatement to say that the markets didn’t buy into stimulus package contours or the 30-day Europe flights ban. What about today’s ECB...

As the coronavirus spreads fear, sickness, and death, a specter haunts investors – the specter of deflation. Despite central bankers’ attempts to push inflation rates higher, equity and commodity markets are collapsing. Inflation expectations as reflected in tanking...
