Actually I thought about going for ‘Stay defensive’ as an alternative headline choice. The stuff I read and watch makes me want to use that famous Shakespeare quote that ‘something is rotten in the State of Denmark’. The evidence that all is not well is overwhelming. Still, and that is a very important distinction to […]

Interesting video with Eric Sprott and James Turk. The key sentence of the entire interview is ‘Governments will break their promises’. What is happening right now will ultimately have consequences when it comes to pension plans and other promises made by governments. I obviously agree with that take. That is one of the many reasons […]

Another post as I just watched Mary Meeker’s Web 2.0 Summit presentation. She talks about Internet trends and mobile growth. Impressive stuff. You can watch last year’s presentation if you missed Mary Meeker’s 2010 presentation on Mobile Internet Growth. She goes through the various slides at a rather quick pace. In order to get the […]

I did a GDX vs. GDXJ chart comparison and talk about what to look for prior to initiating new positions in gold mining stocks. Remember to select the highest resolution […]

One of the most respected technical analysts out there, I am talking about Louise Yamada, is talking about the technical situation in the markets. You all know I am not in the predicting business. Still, making these kind of predictions, or if you prefer, thinking about potential targets technical analysis suggests, is very important. You […]

Video with Robert Prechter doing an interview on Bloomberg sharing his view on the current situation in the markets. The essence of his thinking is really: We are now in a RISK-OFF market environment. Needless to say this supports my assumption we have mostly likely entered a new bear market. The jury is still out […]

Rob McEwen has long been predicting much higher gold and silver prices. In this video interview he sticks to his former predictions of gold ultimately going to 5.000 US Dollars over the next 4 to 5 years. In that same time period he sees silver reaching 200 US$. Now don’t get me wrong, predictions are […]

A few of the topics they touch upon: Gold and its international money status Inflation / […]
