After taking a sharp bounce of its 200-day moving average in April, DAL is now staring down its 52-week high, an...Read More

As we've been outlining for weeks now, Subprime 2.0 is the subprime auto-loan industry. And just as the collapse in the subprime mortgage lending was what signaled the beginning of the housing crisis... trouble in the subprime auto-loan industry will be what signals that the next Debt Crisis is here.On that note... subprime auto-loan defaults are soaring, hitting 11.96%.

Gold is the world's ultimate asset, and another spectacular week is underway for investors. While May was mostly sideways (and lower for many gold stocks), it's starting to look like the month of June could be a serious "barnburner".This is the daily bars gold chart.Gold tends to stage a decent rally in the days following the release of the US jobs report. That's in play now, as I suggested it...Read More

With the US dollar taking another hit last Friday on a weaker-than-expected jobs report, gold closed up 1.12 percent for the day. A Bloomberg gauge of 72 junior miners, however, has lost 15 percent since the end of January, and the rebalance of the VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miner ETF (GDXJ), which I previously wrote about, is also having a depressing effect on many gold names.This was a major con...Read More

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. Oil futures remain in focus today, with the July-dated crude contract down 0.4% at $47.21 per barrel amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. But as Wall Street's appetite for riskier assets cools, gold is poised to benefit from its safe-ha...Read More

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 something many bullion investors have known for years.The real question is when this reality will pierce the mainstream illusion that deficits, and the crushing pile of debt which accompany them, don't matter. That moment drew closer last week when ratings agencies downgraded Illinois state bonds to one...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
