Wrong Whale
By: Ted Butler
The 4 big concentrated silver longs, which I have been writing about for nearly a month, further reduced their net long position by 3882 contracts to 62,707 contracts. The only reporting category to have liquidated enough (or any real) number of contracts in the reporting week were managed money traders, proving conclusively that managed money traders held a significant percentage of the very strange concentrated net long position in COMEX silver. How else could I have expected managed money long liquidation by the 4 concentrated longs on Monday?

GoldSeek Radio: Dr. Marc Faber, John Scurci and Robert Ian
By: Chris Waltzek Ph.D., GoldSeek Radio
- Few asset classes will endure the economic storm ahead, however, safe havens include gold, silver, PMs shares and cryptocurrencies.
- Despite the remarkable increases in modern productivity given quantum leaps in access to technology and information, living standards are sagging.
- Incomes have not matched increases in the cost of living.
- The duo concur that the erosion of the standard of living is directly correlated to profligate money expansion, which acts as a reverse "Invisible Hand."
- Both the guest/host advocate diversification of asset classes, increasing the weighting of safe haven, hard money assets in the coming years to shield wealth from potential economic volatility.

It’s Been a Great Recession for a Few; Let’s Do it All Again!
By: David Haggith
This month the economic expansion brought to you by your Federal Reserve and by US government largess becomes the longest expansion in the history of the United States! That’s something, right? Something? Let’s take an honest look at what we now call great.

By “the longest expansion” we mean the longest period in which US GDP has been growing without a recession. Now, that’s something to crow about, right?

Not so fast for many reasons. It’s also been the most anemic expansion on the books, and it’s not too hard to see why it’s been the longest, having nothing at all to do with a great economy. It has cost us far more than any expansion (by an order of magnitude) because we’ve piled up ten times the national debt over any amount we accumulated during previous expansions.

How The Fed Affected The Gold Market Last Week
By: Avi Gilburt
I can no longer count how many times I have been told that “squiggly lines cannot predict the market.” Yet, anyone who has tracked us over the long term knows how successful we have been at predicting many major market turns and targets with these “squiggly lines.” In fact, we have done so in many markets including metals, equities, Forex, bonds, etc.

The issue that many have with our work is a matter of naivety. You see, if someone does not understand what we do, then they assume that it must be luck or voodoo. Many people have a hard time believing something if they do not understand how it works. But, that stems from a weakness in their own understanding or ability to open their minds to something beyond their current knowledge base, rather than a weakness in our methodology.

Modern Monetary Theory is fact and practice, and market rigging is its consequence
By: Chris Powell, GATA
Modern Monetary Theory, which has been getting much attention lately, is so controversial mainly because it is misunderstood.

It is misunderstood first because it is not a theory at all but a truism.

That is, MMT holds essentially that a government issuing a currency without a fixed link to a commodity like gold or silver is constrained in its currency issuance only by inflation and devaluation.

The U.S. Is Not an Economic Island
By: Rick Ackerman, Rick's Picks
The U.S. is not an economic island, and GDP growth is certain to slow as America’s major trading partners sink into recession. It seems predictable nonetheless that U.S. stocks will continue to move higher, at least for a while, for the reasons noted above. This will occur with further softening in interest rates and GDP falling. Wall Street may be able to pretend for yet another few months that the U.S. will skirt recession. But when rates on Ten-Year Treasurys drop below 1% and head into negative territory sometime in 2020, the jig will be up.

BIS' gold swaps rise slightly in June but are down sharply since last year
By: Robert Lambourne

But recent activity appears to be much reduced from the second half of 2018.
