July 10, 2009 – As is clear from the following chart, we can see that there was some technical damage to the XAU Gold Mining Index.  After finally climbing above the key resistance level around 134, the XAU dropped once again into the high 120s.  This outcome is of course disappointing, but the technical damageRead more

June 29, 2009 – I find the accompanying chart to be very interesting, and it is probably one of the most striking and informative charts on economic activity that I have seen in a while. It was first brought to my attention by Casey’s Charts, a publication of Casey Research (http://www.caseyresearch.com/). The chart presents theRead more

After the gold/silver ratio broke important support in the 68-69 area, it knifed down all the way to 61.7. The ratio has now bounced back up to test over-head resistance. I expect this test to be successful, and that the ratio will once again move lower.

Do not believe the propaganda of government officialdom that they know what they are doing and will take care of your best interests. The fact is, they don’t know what they are doing, and they are not looking after your interests.

June 29, 2009 – The Dow Jones Industrials Average is at a very interesting juncture. Please take a close look at the following chart. As the dollar moves toward hyperinflation, I expect stocks to rise. I explained this point in recent letters. The general averages will not do as well as gold, and certain sectorsRead more

June 25, 2009 – Yesterday the Federal Reserve completed the latest meeting of its Federal Open Market Committee.  It re-affirmed its plan to purchase by the end of the year some $1.8 trillion – yes, $1.8 trillion – of US government paper, comprising of agency debt, agency mortgage-backed securities and US Treasuries.  That’s nearly $6,000Read more

June 8, 2009 – I’ve lost count of how many trillions of dollars have been created ‘out of thin’ air by the Federal Reserve to bail out the banks.
