John believes that when taking rising personal debt into consideration, the economy barely grew in Q4 of 2017. The savings rate has plunged to near record levels under Trump. The tax cut is also inflationary, interests rates are heading up and the Fed claims to be shrinking its balance sheet. And the dollar is sinking like a stone.

Gold's weekly volume was highest EVER. Yes, ever. There was not a single week - not ever during the 2011 top or when gold declined in 2008 - when gold moved on volume that was higher than what we saw last week. Is t...Read More

The FOMC meeting and US January nonfarm payrolls will be the key. The US economy will see a rise in consumer spending as bonuses rise due to Trump's tax and trickle down effects. If the Federal Reserve is aggressive then we might just see a March interest rate hike. The US dollar is oversold. Any positive news can result in the US dollar paring most of January's losses and even gain. Bubbles hap...Read More

Michael Stumo was impressed by Trump's performance at Davos. He was also favorably disposed towards Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross's statements about US trade policy. And then right afterwards, tariffs were increased on Chinese solar panels and Korean washing machines. It appears that we finally have a president who is walking the walk on trade. Read More
