Bill Murphy: Gold Price Fixing, What’s Next?


Just the latest round of class-action lawsuits on gold price fixing are being filed against investment bank JPMorganChase because of the confession by a former futures trader for the bank who has pleaded guilty to manipulating the monetary metals markets. 

This brings the “Hall of Shame” to no fewer that SIX major banks accused of or fined for rigging the metals markets in recent years. Are regulators turning a blind eye? Why? 

Who’s calling the shots, why does this all matter (a lot) in the grander scheme of things, and what’s next?

Max Keiser: A Looming Hot War for the Internet Age


In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the latest twist to the US-China trade war: tit for tat kidnappings. 

Donald Trump openly claims he will release the CEO of Huawei, currently being detained in Canada on an American arrest warrant, should China make concessions on tariffs. 

But what is the escalation really about? One opinion piece in the NY Times suggests this is really about controlling the resource of our modern age: data and the internet on which it is collected. 

In the second half, Max interviews Mish Shedlock of MishTalk.com about whether or not the Fed is a graver threat to the US than the Federal Reserve Bank, as Donald Trump insists. 

They also discuss the Red Queen syndrome in Japan where the Bank of Japan needs to print more and more money and buy more and more assets just to stay in the same place.

Ron Paul: All Bubbles Must Pop, the Sooner the Better


The economic roller-coaster of booms and busts, that we're all forced to ride, is a creation of the Socialistic institution called The Federal Reserve. 

By manipulating interest rates and by generating money out-of-thin-air, the Fed creates an artificial boom. Everything artificial must ultimately return to reality. The sooner the return, the better.

Egon von Greyerz: The Most Massive Wealth Destruction Cycle Ever is Coming


Financial and precious metals expert Egon von Greyerz says, “Because of the artificial control of the system, the cycles becomes ten times or a hundred times bigger than they would have been by natural forces. We have had a hundred years of excesses in the world and artificial wealth creation. 

Now, in the coming years, we will have a very long period of the opposite. Wealth will disappear. A lot of people will suffer, and, sadly, there will be famine. There will be misery. The world has gone through this before, but this will be bigger than it ever has been. 

The world will survive this, but there will be a lot of suffering when this implodes. The fear hasn’t started yet, but it will, and then there will be a rush into gold and silver. Our clients are increasing their positions. 

In my view, 25% of total net worth is the minimum (to invest in gold and silver), and, personally, I would not have any major assets in the bank because I don’t think the banking system will survive. If it survives, it will not be in its present form. 

Stocks, in relation to gold, will go down 90% to 95%. They went down 90% in 1929 to 1932. There will be the most massive wealth destruction ever.”

Gary Christenson: Yield Curve Inversion and Recession Fears


Every recession since the 1950s has been preceded by a yield curve inversion. The yield curve is flattening and recently became partially inverted. 

Former business manager Gary Christenson joins Silver Doctors to discuss. The five-year rate fell below the two-year rate. We’re headed toward recession and stock market correction, Christenson says. 

He says even just looking at the stock market itself technically, it looks quite weak. Christenson sees gold and silver, especially silver, extremely undervalued. 

He forecasts silver rising substantially from here, while there may be some short term weakness.

Why Gold Is Still The More Stable Safe Haven Asset For 2019


With fears of more volatility in stock markets ahead, investors could do well holding gold, which is still the reliable safe haven asset, said Phil Streible, senior market strategist at RJO Futures. 

“Even if you look at bonds and interest rates, the volatility has been quite high in there. We’ve seen bonds tick up three, four, five handles within a short period of time. 

I think that gold has been a much better, a much more stable investment asset for a safe haven,” Streible told Kitco News.

Ralph Acampora, The Hammer, Capitulation And Is It A Dow Theory Sell Signal Or Not?

Below is today’s note from Jeffrey Saut, Chief Investment Strategist at Raymond James: Yesterday, someone sent us this tweet from stock market guru Ralph Acampora that read, “Monday’s intraday activity and its closes on the leading market indexes were impressive: it’s called a ‘key reversal-day’ on a bar chart and a ‘hammer’ pattern on a candlestick chart. They suggest that an important near-term low was made.” Now, for non- technical folks, a hammer formation in the candlestick charts is defined as follows:

“A hammer is a type of bullish reversal candlestick pattern, made up of just one candle, found in price charts of financial assets. The candle looks like a hammer, as it has a long lower wick and a short body at the top of the candlestick with little or no upper wick (see chart below).”


Ralph Block & The McClellan Oscillator

Also suggestive that a bottom was made on Monday was what our deceased friend Ralph Block used to term a multi-swinging session. To wit, “Ralph was a huge fan of a crater opening, multi-swinging session that ends near the high of the day. Looks like it was just what he would have wanted!” We would add that the McClellan Oscillator is pretty oversold on a short-term basis (see chart below).

McClellan Oscillator Is Very Oversold Short-Term


Russell 2000
Likewise, the Russell 2000 is some 10% below its 200-day moving average and, therefore, oversold (see chart below).

Russell 2000 10% Below It’s 200-Day Moving Average


Energy Complex
And, don’t look now, but the energy complex is very oversold (also has a hammer chart formation – see chart below) with the anecdotal evidence that a bottom is near with three large energy-centric hedge funds closing their doors.

Energy Complex Also Very Oversold


About A Dow Theory “Sell Signal”

As for the questions about a Dow Theory “sell signal” that are being trumpeted by some on the Street of Dreams, by our method of interpreting Dow Theory, there has been no “sell signal.” 

The problem is these folks are using the November closing low for the Industrials, which is the wrong reaction closing low to use. While it is true the D-J Transports notched a new reaction low last Friday, the D-J Industrials have not violated their March 2018 closing low (the right closing low to use). 

As such, what we have, according to Dow Theory by our method of interpretation, is a downside non-confirmation, which should be interpreted bullishly…

Gold and Silver Prices Rise As The Markets and Oil Decline

Over the past week, the gold and silver prices have held up rather well compared to the overall markets. While precious metals investors still fear that a huge sell-off in the gold and silver prices will take place during the next market crash, it seems that the metals continue to be very resilient during large market corrections.

Now, I am not saying that the metals prices cannot fall any lower, but a lot of the leverage in the gold and silver market has already been removed and is now at a near all-time low. So, even though we could see weaker precious metals prices, the overwhelming leverage and bubble asset prices are in the stock and real estate markets.

Furthermore, one of the reasons precious metals investors still fear that a major selloff is imminent is that they are using the 2007-2008 economic market meltdown as a guideline. However, when gold and silver prices were plummeting from their highs in 2008, along with the rest of the market, speculators held huge long positions while the commercials controlled an enormous number of short contracts.

If we look at the following Gold Hedgers Chart, we can clearly see that the market setup today is the exact opposite of what it was in 2008:


When gold was trading near $1,000 in early 2008, the commercial banks held a record high of 252,000 net short contracts compared to the present gold price of $1,222 (time of chart), with the commercials only holding 16,000 net short contracts. The commercial short positions are shown by the blue line. Thus, the higher the commercial short positions, the lower the line goes and the lower the number, the higher the line moves. Currently, the gold price and commercial net short positions are both at the near lows. Also, the speculator net long positions are close to their lows as well

So, when PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, we won’t see a large number of speculators forced to cover their long gold positions if the gold price falls lower because there isn’t that much leverage in the market.

Cracks Appearing... The Next Crisis Will Be Worse Than Anything Before


Bubbles burst from the “outside in,” Chris Martenson says. And that’s what we’re seeing right now. 

Cracks are appearing on the outside. Many junk rated debt and periphery country’s stock markets are in bear markets. 

Watch out for the crisis to seek into the bigger sectors. The economy cannot grow exponentially in a finite world. An infinite model cannot run on a finite sphere. 

By 2020 - 2022, a major energy crisis will hit in oil, Martenson says. 

How can we move out of the current infinite growth financial paradigm? Stay tuned to find out!

William Black: Deutsche Bank Crime Weakens Global Financial System


Professor of Economics and Law, William Black, who was a top regulator in the S&L crisis, says, “Deutsche Bank is one of the potential sources of the next recession, and you can see lots of people warning that there are signs that a serious recession is pretty likely relatively soon.

The whole system weakens itself because it gets caught in this big lie that says we have to pretend that Deutsche Bank is a bank instead of a criminal enterprise.” 

In closing, Professor Black says, “I am going to give you the advice you get after the recession before the recession. Pay off your debt, all that you can. 

Do not keep borrowing except in certain circumstances like you are going to buy a home and it is prudent purchase. 

Buy a car when you can buy it with cash whenever possible and always try to be a net saver.”

What Hyperinflation Looks Like in Venezuela First Hand, On the Ground

If you know anything about the crisis in Venezuela, you’ve most likely seen the work of Meridith Kohut, an independent photojournalist based in Caracas.

Meridith, who frequently photographs for The Times, has taken some of the most haunting images to come out of the country as its economy has spiraled deeper into chaos.

There was the baby boy who died of heart failure caused by extreme malnutrition, his father weeping over the coffin. The emaciated patients locked in isolation cells at an underfunded psychiatric ward. 

The street protesters in gas masks hurling Molotov cocktails at security forces. Meridith’s photos, at once unsettling and illuminating, offer a window into the daily struggles of Venezuelans.

This month Meridith, 35, was one of four female journalists around the world to be honored by the International Women’s Media Foundation with a Courage in Journalism Award. In a recent interview, she spoke about the challenges of reporting in Venezuela, the global resonance of her work and what she wishes readers knew...


Mike Maloney: I Found A New Recession Indicator That Says LOOK OUT BELOW


Mike Maloney was excited. It was our weekly company meeting, and he interrupted it to tell us all about a new recession indicator he’d just discovered. 

In fact, he said it is “one of the most reliable indicators of a pending recession I have ever come across.” And that’s the basis of his just-released video, "I Found a Brand New Recession Indicator and It Says Look Out Below!" 

He showed us a series of charts, some of which were highlighted in his Early Warning Webinar. T

hey include the Wilshire 5000 Index, the US monetary base, and the federal government’s tax receipts. And it is the correlation of those charts that formed the basis of what Mike calls the “financialization of government.” And then he showed us a new indicator that has a strong track record of predicting recessions. It works like this… 

Since 2000, the data show that tax revenues fall when the stock market falls. In other words, a rising stock market feeds higher and higher tax receipts to the government. 

If tax revenues fall, however, federal income declines, because less tax on capital gains come in. And this leads to an expansion in the deficit. You’d think the government would be better prepared for this reality, but they never are because they never plan on a recession. 

So when the stock market inevitably crashes, the government reacts by lowering interest rates, printing money, or expanding government programs – all of which, of course, grow the deficit even larger. 

But where the story gets very interesting is when Mike compares tax revenue to the timeline of past recessions, particularly tax receipts on corporate income. 

You might think that tax revenues would fall after a recession starts – but what the data show is that tax revenue in most cases has fallen before a recession. 

As Mike shows, in 14 of the last 17 times that corporate tax receipts have begun to roll over and decline, a recession started not long after. In other words… 

A drop in corporate tax receipts has frequently predicted a recession. And guess what? Corporate tax revenue has started to fall. 

Given how high the stock market has climbed, this source of tax revenue will drop hard when the stock market crashes. Indeed, the second-longest bull market in stocks could mean a bigger crash than normal and a nastier recession than many expect.

A Golden Renaissance

The Battles for Civilization

There is the freedom of speech battle, with the forces of darkness advancing all over. For example, in Pakistan, there are killings of journalists. Saudi Arabia apparently had journalist Khashoggi killed. New Zealand now can force travellers to provide the password to their phones so the government can go through all your data, presumably including your gmail, Onedrive, Evernote, and WhatsApp. China is now developing a “social credit” system, to centrally plan the economy and control citizen behavior. Canada has made it a crime to call someone by the wrong gender pronoun. Even in the US, whose First Amendment has (mostly) stood as a bulwark against censorship now has a president who threatens antitrust action against Amazon, because its CEO Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post, which prints things he does not like. On college campuses, professors are harassed if they say one thing that the professional sensitives are sensitive to. If a controversial speaker is invited, he risks an angry mob coming to disrupt his talk (or worse).

Then, there is the nearly-over war against patients’ rights to purchase health care services from the provider of their own choosing, and health care professionals’ right to sell services to patients at a price they prefer. In the US, insurance companies are still forced (as under Obamacare) to provide insurance to anyone who applies, even those who have pre-existing conditions. This would be like forcing home insurance companies to issue policies to people whose houses are currently on fire. It is not insurance, but an unfunded welfare program.

The use of practical energy sources is in the battle for its life. Germany and Japan are de-nuclearizing. Other countries flirt with taxes designed, not to raise revenue, but to reduce the use of fossil fuels. While many may go along with this, thinking it’s OK to pay another 50 cents a gallon for gasoline, this will not be nearly enough to force large numbers of people to do without. Gasoline for driving to work and oil for heating homes has a highly inelastic demand. The price would have to rise enough to force people to change their lifestyles, abandoning their spacious houses in the suburbs to crowd into tiny urban apartments. In Europe this month, Keith saw petrol around $8 a gallon. And they use so much fossil fuels that more taxes are demanded to reduce carbon dioxide much further.

Few Want a Free Market in Money

And don’t even get us started on money. Even otherwise-free-market economists, and even wealthy entrepreneurs and business leaders, are for a properly managed irredeemable currency. One prominent person who is all of the above recently declared that if the Fed adopted GDP targeting (it currently does its central planning based on inflation and unemployment) it would end the business cycle! He did not want to hear anything about GDP being an invalid measure, about eating the seed corn, declining marginal productivity of debt, etc. If you break a window, it does add to GDP. This is not a recommendation to break windows. It is a damning indictment of GDP as a measure.

Where tyranny, socialism, and central planning (we repeat ourselves) are on the rise, not only liberty and human happiness wither, but so does the ability of people to coordinate their productive activities. A major theme of Keith’s dissertation is that government intervention promises improved outcomes, but always reduces coordination.

Others, especially Ayn Rand, have noted that socialism sets man against man. They can no longer cooperate to enrich each other. So they are forced to squabble to loot each other through the apparatus of the state.

This is a formula for misery even in a primitive agricultural economy. Wherever it has been adopted, it has been lethal not just to those who think independently, but even to millions of loyal supporters of the regime. The death toll of the socialist regimes of the 20 th century—both international and national, i.e. communist and fascist—was in the hundreds of millions.
Trust is Delicate

It is also a formula to destroy trust between people. Trust is a necessary element for people to coordinate their activities, especially over time. There could be no mass produced food, much less computer chips, without both banking and equities markets.

In a world where no one trusts anyone else, everyone hoards their favorite commodity at home. They fear to give it to a fraudulent bank who will steal it. So, instead of financing business, production, inventory, trade, and entrepreneurialism, they simply accumulate salt or silver or gold.

This is a picture of a miserably poor society, composed of small farm villages where life is barely above subsistence. And businesses are nothing more than a one- or two-man workshop. Think of Medieval Europe prior to the Italian Renaissance.

What is now called the developing world is significantly better off than this. That’s because developed markets have produced goods that are so cheap that even laborers in India, even farmers squatting in a rice paddy can afford mobile phones (though not plumbing or toilets). Life all over the world will degrade back to the level of poverty that long prevailed—if the lights go out in the West.

Many in the gold community wish for everyone to dump their savings and investments, buy gold and silver metal, and take the metal home to put it under the mattress. It is true that, if even a small percentage of people did this, the prices of gold and silver would skyrocket. These gold owners focus on this, but not on what we describe above. We have said before that they should be careful what they wish for, so we will not dwell on that point further here. We have a different point to make today.

For the reasons of creeping central planning, socialism, government intervention in all markets, and artificial conflicts of interest between groups, there is a worldwide megatrend of declining trust. Keith describes a collapse in trust as one of the eight indicators of financial implosion in his dissertation: “(8) the willingness of people to trust one another falls to zero.”

This trend necessarily occurs so long as government interferes with production, and renders people less and less able to coordinate. Much has been written about how the banks privatize gains and socialize losses. Deposit insurance, not to mention central bank lenders-of-last-resort, provide a moral hazard to ignore risk and bet big with Other People’s Money. More recently, they are starting to enact policies that provide for bail-ins. This is when depositors lose their deposits and instead get (possibly worthless) shares in the bank.

Rational Response to Irrational Social System

Something makes our mission, to reverse the trend and save civilization, damnably frustrating. That is, it’s an entirely rational response of the individual to withdraw his trust when others demonstrate they are untrustworthy. It is entirely rational to withdraw his capital when counterparties demonstrate they are putting it at undue risk, or paying insufficient or negative real returns.

As an aside, by real return, we do not mean measuring the consumer price index and subtracting from the interest rate. Prices are measured in money. Money cannot be measured in prices. If you empty a bag of gummy bears, and line them up, you can measure the line with a steel meter stick, e.g. 500mm. You cannot invert this and say the meter stick is two bags-of-gummy-bears long.

We measure real returns in money terms—i.e. gold. If you have $1,200 and earn 3% interest on, then at the end of a year you have $1,236. However, if the gold price goes to $2,472 (we do not predict this, but for sake of easy math), then you have gone from 1oz of gold capital to 0.5oz. You have lost 50%. You would have been (far) better off, to have a gold Krugerrand under the mattress.

We won’t even talk about having gold vs. being an involuntary volunteer for a bail-in.

So how do you fix a problem caused by people rationally responding to the perverse incentives imposed by an irrational system? You must offer them different incentives. You must appeal to their rationality, to their self-interest to trust, to invest.

Does China Have Enough Gold to Move Toward Hard Currency?

We can be reasonably certain that Chinese government officials approaching middle age have been heavily westernised through their education. Nowhere is this likely to matter more than in the fields of finance and economics. 

In these disciplines there is perhaps a division between them and the old guard, exemplified and fronted by President Xi. The grey-beards who guide the National Peoples Congress are aging, and the brightest and best of their successors understand economic analysis differently, having been tutored in Western universities.

It has not yet been a noticeable problem in the current, relatively stable economic and financial environment. Quiet evolution is rarely disruptive of the status quo, and so long as it reflects the changes in society generally, the machinery of government will chug on. But when (it is never “if”) the next global credit crisis develops, China’s ability to handle it could be badly compromised.

This article thinks through the next credit crisis from China’s point of view. Given early signals from the state of the credit cycle in America and from growing instability in global financial markets, the timing could be suddenly relevant. China must embrace sound money as her escape route from a disintegrating global fiat-money system, but to do so she will have to discard the neo-Keynesian economics of the West, which she has adopted as the mainspring of her own economic advancement.

With Western-educated economists imbedded in China’s administration, has China retained the collective nous to understand the flaws, limitations and dangers of the West’s fiat money system? Can she build on the benefits of the sound-money approach which led her to accumulate gold, and to encourage her citizens to do so as well?

China’s economic advisors will have to display the courage to drop the misguided economic policies and faux statistics by which she will continue to be judged by her Western peers. If she faces up to the challenge, China should emerge from the next credit crisis in a significantly stronger position than the West, for which such a radical change in economic thinking undertaken willingly is impossible to imagine.

American Bread and Circus


The world over, central banks are going to keep pursuing their doomed-from-the-start debt-addicted policies until something breaks. All because if they told the truth, if they told their citizens that they needed to immediately begin a prolonged period of extreme austerity to pay for things other people have already enjoyed, they would definitely not get reelected.

So they will issue still more debt until that tipping point when the world realizes that debt is worthless. It always comes. It is the fate of all fiat currency.

The lessons of such a profound event will be generation-defining, as the lessons of The Great Depression were for my grandmother, whose experience informed every decision she made thereafter. Nothing was too small to repurpose, nothing was worthless…because she remembered a time when that was true in her own life, and understood, deeply and personally, that it was a reality that could return.

Imagining a day when all the dollars you have in the bank or stock market or stuffed under your mattress are nearly worthless overnight, victim to a hyper inflationary nightmare, is extremely difficult.

Investors, during times of global stock market uncertainty, still flock en masse into the seeming safe harbor of the US dollar. And there, bathed in the pacifying security of the full faith and credit of the US government, the only thing standing behind that dollar, they wait out the storm.

This has worked, time and time again. And it will. Until it won’t.

Alasdair MacLeod: China to Adopt Gold Standard?


The coming credit crisis will be the catalyst for China to adopt gold into their monetary system, says Alasdair MacLeod of Gold Money. The coming credit crisis will hurt China's economy the worst, MacLeod says. 

He proposes that China should issue a perpetual bond. The coupon on that bond would be payable in Yuan or gold at the users choice. If this were to happen, it would undermine the Dollar and send gold higher. 

Why does MacLeod believe China is headed toward a gold standard? He gives many reasons including: China has been acquiring gold, is the largest gold miner in the world, doesn't allow gold to leave, and has the biggest physical gold delivery market.

In that case, interest rates would need to move higher, he says. The housing market is starting to collapse, Kranzler says.

Voter Fraud Before, During and After the Midterm Elections


Radio host Dr. Dave Janda says the midterm elections are far from over. 

Janda says, “There was voter fraud before, during and after the midterm elections. My sources say there was a staggering amount of voting machines that were impounded Monday night before the election on Tuesday because they had pre-set votes in them. 

This involved voting machines in all 50 states. Trump had teams out there making sure of the integrity of the vote. That is just some of the voter fraud before the elections.

There are a lot of federal officials on the ground. I think this is going to go by the way of the Jill Stein recount event.”

US trade gap widens, deficit with China rises to record high

The U.S. trade deficit rose to a seven-month high in September as imports surged to a record high amid strong domestic demand, offsetting a rebound in exports.

The Commerce Department said on Friday the trade gap increased 1.3 percent to $54.0 billion, widening for a fourth straight month. Data for August was revised to show the trade deficit rising to $53.3 billion instead of the previously reported $53.2 billion.

The trade deficit continues to deteriorate despite the Trump administration’s protectionist trade policy, which has left the United States locked in a bitter trade war with China as well as tit-for-tat tariffs with other trade partners, including the European Union, Canada and Mexico.

The politically sensitive goods trade deficit with China jumped 4.3 percent to a record high of $40.2 billion in September. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the overall trade deficit rising to $53.6 billion in September.

When adjusted for inflation, the goods trade gap increased to an all-time high of $87.0 billion in September from $86.3 billion in August.

The government reported last week that the trade deficit subtracted 1.78 percentage points from gross domestic product in the third quarter. That was the most since the second quarter of 1985 and reversed the 1.22 percentage points contribution in the April-June period.

In September, imports of goods and services increased 1.5 percent to $266.6 billion, an all-time high. Imports of capital goods such as telecommunications equipment, civilian aircraft engines and computers were the highest on record.

There were also increases in imports of toys, cell phones, apparel and household goods.

Exports of goods and services rose 1.5 percent to $212.6 billion in September. Exports were lifted by shipments of industrial supplies and materials, which were the highest on record. Soybean exports decreased by $0.7 billion in September.

An Ounce Of Gold Has Always Cost The Same As A Suit, Here’s Why


Gold’s greatest merit is still its reliability as an instrument for wealth preservation, said Ani Markova, Vice-President & Portfolio Manager, AGF Investments. 

“Gold is an asset class that investors should have in their portfolios to diversify them, especially at times when we see equity market volatility,” Markova told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Mines & Money conference in Toronto. 

Longer term, investors should depend on gold’s wealth preservation power, Markova said, citing gold price’s parity to the cost of a suit over time as an example of its steady relative value. 

“If you wanted to buy a men’s suit back in the 1930s, you probably would have paid about $16.95 for a good quality suit and you throw in pair of shoes for $3.25, which is about $20, and that was roughly the cost of one ounce of gold in the beginning of the ‘30s” Markova said. 

“If I look today, at U.S. dollar terms, we are at about $1,200 U.S. and if you walk into Harren Rosen suit for about that.”

Governments and Central Banks Scrambling to Change the Rules!


The 3 Most Important Rules of Investing In This "New Normal" 

1. Politicians and governments can and will change the rules anytime they want, perhaps on a daily basis (moving the goal posts, retroactive rules, moving targets) 

2. Because of rule #1 people should not go "all in" on investing in any one asset class or investing in only one country or company. At least some real diversification is important to protect against known unknowns or unknown unknowns. 

3. People should focus on creating as many possible income streams and inflation hedges as they can from owning different investments and businesses to protect themselves to survive and thrive whatever is coming in the future thanks to the myopic stupidity and rent seeking behavior of parasitical central planners, politicians, bankers, government bureaucrats, etc

Dr. Mark Skidmore: $21 Trillion Missing Money Means Huge Implications for Dollar


Michigan State Economics Professor Mark Dr. Skidmore says there is a limit to money printing even when all the global central banks are doing it. 

Skidmore says, “What does it mean when a central bank is buying equities, or buying debt with printed money in order to suppress interest rates and keep this game going? I think, overall, the whole world is awash in debt, and it’s expanding at a rate that is unsustainable. 

The only way it has been sustained is that interest rates have been falling for 30 years. Now, interest rates are no longer falling, and we are running up against a constraint. 

Now, if this $21 trillion in “missing” federal money really represents spending above and beyond what the official records indicate, then that has huge financial implications and huge implications for confidence in the dollar as the reserve currency. 

This is an enormous priority to address and not just cover up and say we are all good.” In closing, Dr. Skidmore says, “How can you have a democracy if you don’t have any transparency whatsoever? 

Having integrity and confidence is so essential to the whole system, and this just puts everything in question.

We should clean this up and show we are legitimate. If we don’t, we are just shooting ourselves in the foot.”

Jim Sinclair and Bill Holter: The World Is Now Venezuela


Renowned gold and financial expert Jim Sinclair and financial writer Bill Holter get ready for the reset in the price of everything including gold and silver. 

Sinclair also says, “It’s going to be a Friday to Monday event. There is going to be an explosion, and the explosion is a change. It may blow your mind, but the explosion would not be three or four months or a year in upticks in these items (gold and silver prices). Oh, they are going to uptick. 

That’s for sure. The finality of this is going to be the reset. . . .It is going to be something entirely new that doesn’t exist now. It may be engineered and not happening by natural causes. 

You need to know who President Trump is, what he is a master of and what tools he has used effectively as part of his business. It’s not “The Art of the Deal,” it’s the science of bankruptcy.” How bad is it going to get? Holter sums it all up when he says, “The world is Venezuela.”

Mike Maloney: How To Store Silver Bars and Coins At Home


There are lots of reasons to buy silver—it’s a real asset, the coins are beautiful, it will likely outperform gold, and it’s more affordable. But that affordability comes with a catch. 

Once you start to accumulate, you quickly realize that silver requires a lot more storage space than gold. It’s relatively easy to hide some gold coins in a sock drawer or cookie jar, but those hiding places are impractical for the same dollar amount of silver. 

So how do we store our silver bullion both efficiently and safely? And should it be stored at home anyway? 

This article has some potential solutions for those investors that are stacking silver…

USA Watchdog: Deep State Kicking and Screaming


Author of the popular book “The Trump Prophecies,” Mark Taylor says indictments of criminals and traitors in the U.S. government is going to cause some upheaval and violence when the release of FBI and DOJ documents show they tried to frame President Trump for a crime he did not do. 

Taylor explains, 

“That is the start of it. That is the shot that starts the race right there, and people better be prepared. The civil unrest is going to take place initially. 

I don’t believe it will be from the people, but from the paid agitators from the DNC and George Soros. 

Eventually, it may lead into something larger once they start the mass arrests, but there are protection mechanisms in place. The Deep State is kicking and screaming.”

Gold Has Been Behaving Strangely, Here’s Why


There have been very "strange goings-on in the space" lately, says David Erfle.

Lately, gold has been "sticky" upwards, shrugging off dollar declines but has dropped dramatically whenever the dollar rises even a little bit. "The tariff news is pretty much priced in. 

We've got Powell coming up speaking next Wednesday and we know he's going to raise, but we don't know if he will hint that they might not raise in December," Erfle told Kitco News on the sidelines of the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek.

U.S. Economy Not As Strong As Reported; Gold To Rise


The U.S. economy appeared to be healthier this year than it actually is, thanks to a few isolated economic events, said Samuel Pelaez, CIO of Galileo Global Equity Advisors. 

“The last GDP we had was Q2 and that was phenomenal, but we had the tailwind of the lowering of the corporate tax rates. 

That was a one-time event, I mean, it’s probably going to last a few quarters but we’re not going to see that next year. 

So I think there have been one-off situations that have helped the U.S. economy look more healthy this year than it actually is,” Pelaez told Kitco News on the sidelines of the 2018 Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek. 

On gold, Pelaez added that even at current interest rate levels, real rates are still negative, and that should provide a boost for gold.

Don’t Let Today’s Rally Fool You, Markets Are Still Short


The markets in general, are still extremely short on silver and gold, despite today’s rally in gold prices, said Peter Hug, director of global trading at Kitco Metals. 

“It’s not going to take a lot from a catalyst perspective to create a short-covering rally,” Hug told Kitco News. 

On the gold-silver ratio hitting 85, a 25-year high, Hug noted that silver is getting hit from both a general weakness in gold, but also global slowdown in industrial demand.

Don't Call Rich Dad's Kiyosaki A Gold Investor: It's Much More Than That


Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of the New York Times bestseller "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," does not consider gold an “investment,” but rather, the only form of currency he considers “real.” 

His new book, "FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets," due for release in April, 2019, documents the difference between real and fake assets, and he likens gold to “God’s money,” a tribute to the yellow metal’s origins as a naturally occurring element. 

“Long after you and I are gone and all that’s left is God, I promise you, the dollar will not be here, the yen will not be here, the euro will not be here…

I doubt crypto will be here if everything else is gone, but anyway, I’d rather have God’s money than man’s money,” Kiyosaki told Kitco News. Kiyosaki noted that there is no scenario in which he would abandon his holdings on gold. 

“I’m not an investor in gold. I hold gold. Gold is real money. Gold is God’s money. Gold is foundational money,” he said. On cryptocurrencies, the best-selling author said that while bitcoin may not last forever, blockchain could still be around. 

“Blockchain is going after the dollar, fiat currency. The real threat to fiat currency is blockchain,” he said. Kiyosaki added that blockchain investors should be as knowledgeable as possible before buying cryptocurrencies, as they should with any other asset.

Kevin Shipp: MSM Covering Up DOJ Wrote Phony Trump Dossier in Failed Coup


The mainstream media (MSM) is laser focused on the recent Cohen plea and the Manafort conviction that have nothing to do with Russian collusion. 

The Left wants to remove Trump from office even if the Mueller investigation is illegitimate and started with phony documents and fraudulent wiretap warrant applications. 

So, don’t expect to hear of this failed coup to remove Trump from office from the propaganda MSM. Shipp says the MSM are conspirators, and Shipp charges, “We know the mainstream media (MSM) is not interested in the news. They have, from their editors on down and their corporate owners, an objective and, in this case, to remove Donald Trump. 

He stands against everything that they are, the Left or the ‘Dark Left’ as I call it. Trump is actually confronting the Shadow Government and Deep State, and he has them shaking. He has the news media shaking that pushes these really leftist things. So, they are intentionally and on purpose blocking the news and deleting the news about things like this soft coup, the (phony) dossier.” 

The MSM will not tell you the latest revelation and that is Bruce Ohr, who was the fourth highest ranking official in the Obama Justice Department (DOJ), wrote the now infamous phony Trump Dossier which was used to apply for fraudulent federal wiretaps (with the FISA Court) to spy on Trump.”

Bank FORCED To Pay Fine! Royal Bank of Scotland's CRISIS Era Misconduct


Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about recent news out of RBS (The Royal Bank of Scotland) as the bank was forced to pay a fine for crisis-era misconduct. 

The $4.9 billion fine is record breaking and is for misleading investors ahead of the 2008 financial crisis which is certainly nothing out of the ordinary. 

We are seeing the banks do similar stuff today. When the markets and economy reach peaks, the bankers get desperate. The U.S. Justice Department imposed the fine on RBS saying from 2005 to 2008 RBS "routinely made misrepresentations to investors" who bought securities backed by risky mortgages, concealing their high risk of default. 

The bank made hundreds of millions of dollars while Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae crashed. In 2017, RBS was forced to pay $5.5 billion in a separate settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Let's not forget how the banks pushed forward collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) leading up the housing crisis in 2007. 

Alongside credit default swaps and mortgage backed securities, we saw the bubble expand and burst. They're doing it again and this time it's going to be far worse. They have learned how to better prop up a bubble, centralized market. It'll only get heavier and crash harder. 

In fact, Goldman Sachs investors just recently won their right to sue over CDOs. It's an infinite cycle. The banks are insolvent/bankrupt and yet we continue to depend on these entities which benefit from our debt. Same as the state. 

Time to break free, learn how to be self sustainable, independent and financially free. Decentralize everything and rule yourself.

Sentiment Has Changed Drastically in the Last Month For Precious Metals


Brett sees severe capitulation across the board from the metals to the majors and down to the juniors. Most of the majors are at or near 52-week lows. 

This looks like scary times, and both gold and silver are incredibly volatile right now. The sentiment has changed drastically from just a month ago. 

What we have seen for the last two years is gold stuck in a channel. It was looking like gold and silver were setting up for a very good run, but that did not materialize. He warns that the market may continue to be oversold for some time. 

With this latest market decline, a lot of issuers were caught off guard. Many are in a vulnerable position with their stock holdings down forty percent. Investors need to be ready to take advantage of opportunities. You do not want to be holding companies that need to raise capital in the next year as they will likely get very unfavorable terms. 

You want to understand the financial situation of the companies you do hold and where the value truly lies. Royalty and streaming companies can benefit from this type of market. When companies or holders see this level of negative sentiment, they may throw in the towel. 

Historically this is when the real deals are made. Brett outlines how Metalla operates and why they differ from other royalty and streaming companies. 

He says, “Investors get killed when they act on fear, they need to learn to use the fear in the markets to their advantage.”
