The bounce in Treasury yields witnessed after the election of Donald Trump is now decaying in the D.C. swamp. If the Fed continues to ignore this slow growth and deflationary signal from the bond market and continues along its current rate hiking path, the yield curve will invert by the end of this year and an equity market plunge and a recession is sure to follow. An inverted yield curve, which...Read More
This post is a rehash of something I wrote at TSI last September in response to the article titled "The Gold Standard and Debt Jubilee". The article is a confused jumble of Marxist, biblical and capitalist ideas/assertions, but its gist is that we need both a debt jubilee and a gold standard. My views are that a gold standard is not a worthwhile objective and that a debt jubilee would be both an e...Read More
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) futures are signaling a lower start, as caution sets in ahead of some market-moving events slated for later in the week.

By Bill Holter As an addendum to yesterday's subscriber article, the topic of "time and sales" needs to be discussed. "Time and sales" is a very simple report that can be requested by literally anyone in any market. For example, when I was a young broker I had a large client who traded a minimum 10,000 shares at a clip. From time to time he would request a time and sales report to make s...Read More

It's time to raise our sights, since AAPL has blown out of a consolidation pattern that took more than two weeks to create. My new rally target is 162.09, a Hidden Pivot resistance that will become an odds-on bet once AAPL has surpassed the midpoint pivot at 155.90 by perhaps $1.50 or closed above it for two consecutive days. This looks like such an easy romp that it's difficult to imagine the r...Read More
