Gold and Silver Price Goals For Year End
By: Craig Hemke
Each of the past five years, we've predicted a year-end and new-year rally in precious metals. And for each of the past five years, the market has performed as forecast. So, what can be expected as 2018 becomes 2019? Let's begin with the past. As mentioned above, each of the past five years have seen year-end gold and silver price rallies. These rallies have begun around the time of the December FOMC, they have persisted through any remaining tax-loss selling, and they extended into the new year.

Gold and Global Financial Crisis Redux
By: Jim Willie CB
The Global Financial Crisis, a broader deeper more powerful systemic crisis than the Lehman Event was, has finally arrived in a great redux. It is seen in numerous areas. We have finally arrived at the ten-year anniversary of the Lehman event, a killjob whereby JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs bought a few $billion in mortgage bonds and never paid Lehman Brothers. The firm died, called a financial failure, but was actually a strangulation. Goldman went on to capture AIG, in order to claim 100 cents per dollar on insured mortgage bonds, a second crime.

The Trade War Is Not The Problem With The Global Economy
By: Dave Kranzler
I chuckle when the hedge fund algos grab onto “positive” trade war headlines and trigger a sharp spike in stock futures. Settlement of the trade war between the Trump Government and China will do nothing to prevent a global economic recession – a recession which will likely deteriorate into a painful depression. The Central Bank “QE” maneuver was successful in camouflaging and deferring the symptoms of economic collapse.

Gold Stock Bulls Gore The Bears
By: Stewart Thomson
Where are the populist government leaders who are cutting their outrageous government debts? The answer, unfortunately, is that they do not exist. Citizens riot in France over insane fuel taxes, central bankers resign in India, markets crash in America, and England’s citizens watch their Brexit turn into an overpriced wet noodle. None of this fazes the world’s populist leaders. They believe they alone can fix what debt broke… with more debt!

Where are we now in the investor cycle?
By: Michael J. Kosares
Two months ago we warned of October being the month markets have been known to go bump in the night – 1907, 1929, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2008. Sure enough, on October 2 the Dow Jones Industrial closed at 26,828. By the end of the month, it stood at 25,115 – down over 1700 points and nearly 6.5%. Since then stock market psychology has undergone a radical transformation – an abrupt reversal with important implications for the long term.

The Amazing Story of Gold to Gold Stocks Ratios
By: Rambus
Tonight I would like to show you some charts from the PM complex we haven’t looked at in a long time. Some of these charts will look familiar to some of our long term members as they were very helpful in the past to help us figure out what the PM complex was up to. This first chart is a ratio combo chart which has the GOLD:XAU on top and the XAU on the bottom. When the ratio is rising gold is outperforming the XAU.

A Bad Moon Rising – Over Several Markets
By: Gary Christenson
You have heard it before. “Those are good companies with great earnings…” Nothing in that statement means the stock price can’t rise to high risk levels or that the price can’t fall 30—80% from its highs. Machines and debt largely run the markets in 2018, and they can push markets too high and then excessively low.

The World’s Biggest Hedge Fund Is Getting Whacked, And Why “Moneyness” Matters
By: John Rubino
A few years ago the Swiss National Bank (SNB) – which traditionally held “monetary assets” like government bonds, cash and gold to back up the Swiss franc — decided to branch out into common stocks. This was a departure, but for a while a brilliant one. The SNB loaded up on Big Tech like Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, and rode them to massive profits, which enriched both the Swiss people and the SNB’s stockholders (in another departure, it’s a publicly traded company as well as a central bank).

A New Wrinkle in the U.S.-China Trade Dispute
By: Frank Holmes
Last week I had the opportunity to attend the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) parliamentary intelligence forum in Washington, D.C. More than 200 members of parliaments from as many as 60 European countries joined us to hear from such dignitaries as Congressmen Robert Pittenger (R-NC) and Mike McCaul (R-TX), chairman of the Homeland Security Committee.

Should Weak November Payrolls Please Gold Bulls?
By: Arkadiusz Sieron
Hence, given the labor market’s strength, the Fed should continue its policy of gradual tightening. It means that gold should remain under downward pressure from the monetary policy. The appreciation of the US dollar against the British pound due to the fresh Brexit-related turmoil should also be not very helpful for the yellow metal. The hope is that next year investors will look into 2020 – and then the Fed could really be more dovish. Next week, after the Fed’s economic projections, the outlook for the gold market will be clearer – stay tuned!

Why Are You Getting Whipsawed?
By: Avi Gilburt
This past week was quite interesting, as well as volatile. On Monday, we had a huge gap up right into the initial resistance region we had on our charts in the 2810-15SPX region. In fact, the futures struck a high of 2813ES, and then turned down.
