In terms of time, a short-term secondary low is due for gold here in the current timeframe, originally projected for the February 7th date, but with the normal plus or minus variance of a day or two in either direction. The current decline comes as a result of the 10, 20 and 34-day cycles, each of which have been pointing south off the 1370 swing top - and with the combination of the same at or in...Read More
Index futures were getting savaged late Monday night as DaBoyz worked feverishly to exhaust sellers so that They can run stocks up the ol' wazoo ahead of the opening bell. This is a dangerous game, even for the thimble riggers who control America's securities exchanges. I'd flagged the 2533.50 downside target shown (click thumbnail inset) for the E-Mini S&Ps less than an hour ago, when it look...Read More

By Frank HolmesMonday's monster stock selloff is exhibit A for why I frequently recommend a 10 percent weighting in gold, with 5 percent in bullion and jewelry, the other 5 percent in high-quality gold stocks, mutual funds and ETFs.What began on Friday after the positive wage growth report extended into Monday, with all major averages dipping into negative territory for the year. The Dow Jones I...Read More
The appointment of Jerome Powell as new Fed chair is likely the catalyst that ushers in a multi-decade era of rising inflation and soaring gold stocks.I've announced a long term target for GDX of $15,000. That really isn't very high... given the strong inflation numbers that I am projecting for America in the years ahead.Having said that, Powell has only been on the job for one day. Investors need...Read More

Gold rose due to safe haven demand on the global stock market plunge. Gold gained despite a strong US dollar. If gold rises today, then there will be short covering. A lot of short term traders are short. One needs to remain on the sidelines in gold and silver. In case of extreme margin money pressure in stock markets, some of the long positions in precious metals and industrial metals could get...Read More
Trump-Mnuchin qualifiers in dollar statements tell all“While it’s [a strong dollar] described as a desirable and intended thing, it might not be a choice.

On Janet Yellen's last day as Fed boss the markets suffered their worst percentage loss in 20-months. Yesterday, on Jerome Powell's first day as Fed Chairman, the VIX spiked by its largest amount on record and the Dow suffered its largest single day point drop ever (and 100th worst percentage drop in history). Intent on showering us with some logic as prices rain lower, the media tells us that...Read More

But when the market takes back that move in 6 trading days it's a...Read More
