- Uncomfortable questions come with uncomfortable answers…so these types of questions are rarely asked, let alone answered.
- Please click here now. Click to enlarge. No mainstream pundit dares to talk about the US rates line in the sand; nobody asks if there’s a number where the gold-rates narrative reverses, as it did in the 1970s.
- Then, the narrative related only to real rates and inflation; if rates rose but inflation rose more, gold was a buy.
- Now, the same narrative holds, but with a “bonus”; there’s an interest rate threshold that creates institutional panic about the government’s ability to pay the interest on its debts and...
- That number could be as low as 7%, basis the ten-year bond.
- Imagine a world where an average citizen’s credit card interest rate is 7%, the citizens have the power of taxation… and that low 7% rate bankrupts the citizens! That can’t happen but…
- It’s the horrifying (and despicable) current state of not only the US government, but most governments of the world.
- Gold was once called, “the money of kings”, but perhaps now it’s better termed as, “the money and government of savvy citizens around the world”.
- For a look at the short-term gold chart, please click here now. Click to enlarge. A double bottom is in play and MACD sports a bullish inverse H&S pattern.
- That’s positive, but to build sustained wealth, investors need to focus on the daily and weekly charts. On that note, please click here now. Click to enlarge. A completed three-wave dip from $4700 may mark the end of the correction.
- Also, Stochastics (14,7,7 series) shows double-bottoming action in the oversold zone, and there’s a positive divergence with the price.
- The weekly chart is the most important chart of all. To view it, please click here now. Click to enlarge. Gold is now trading in the $4200-$3941 buy zone. That zone isn’t just for buying gold.
- It’s also for silver and mining stocks that move in sync with gold.
- Please click here now. Click to enlarge. As governments stupidly race to take on ever-more debt, the interest payments are crowding out important items like schools, housing, and medical care.
- In the United States, the government believes that if it uses lots of debt to buy lots of $1000 hammers, it can finally win a war. The Iran failure shows that’s a fallacy, and the latest jobs report fiasco suggests companies are beginning to feel the effects of inflation that is related to high energy prices.

- My suggestion is to adopt the Eastern citizen approach to gold, meaning that investors should embrace ongoing accumulation of this mightiest of metals… until death do them part.
- A daily focus on the big picture is critical for investors as inflation, tariffs, war, a wildly overvalued stock market, government debt horror, and empire transition dominate the investing landscape.
- The big picture for gold is technically and fundamentally pristine, but what about the miners that extract it? Well, please click here now. Click to enlarge this GDX monthly chart. A massive bull flag is in play and the target is the $170-$200 zone.
- When the price was about $100, I noted that a pullback “to about $85” was needed to make the flag a real pattern…and that has now occurred.
- For a look at the weekly chart, please click here now. Click to enlarge. Excitingly, inside the monthly chart pattern is an inverse H&S bull continuation pattern.
- What about the daily chart? Please click here now. Click to enlarge. Here, the inverse H&S pattern can be seen in detail. Note the orderly drop from the neckline to the potential right shoulder low…
- It’s happening even while rates move aggressively higher!
- Please click here now. Click to enlarge. Rates are enroute to the 7% “strangulation of the US government” zone. At the same time, Hong Kong and Shanghai are working aggressively to move some price discovery from London and New York to Asia. In a nutshell, it’s a fabulous gold bull era, eagerly savoured by savvy citizens around the world!
Thanks!
