Stock Market Crash Omens & Predictions: Another Day Another Lie / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Sol_Palha
Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Mark Twain
Over the past several years the Naysayers have predicted the Market would crash and burn; we blatantly disagreed and opted instead to state that the market would continue to soar higher and higher. Despite the severe beating these naysayers have taken, they insist on regurgitating the same trash over and over again in the blind hope that by some miracle their insane ramblings come to pass. As soon as October was upon us, these experts started screaming at the top of their lungs. What was their latest prediction; a repeat of the 1987 Stock Market Crash. We immediately repudiated these predictions. Here is a brief excerpt from the article we posted in October.

By: D_Morgan
David Morgan writes: Auctions
On the off chance that you are one among the individuals who are sitting tight for their home, which is going to be sold and a huge number of adjacent individuals have gathered to buy your property, don't feel this is the end. Dispossession has gone up by very nearly 57 rates in the initial a half year of 2008.

Stock Market Last Time This Happened - Consumers Are Both Confident And Broke / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: John_Rubino
Elliott Wave International recently put together a chart (click here or on the chart to watch the accompanying video) that illustrates a recurring theme of financial bubbles: When good times have gone on for a sufficiently long time, people forget that it can be any other way and start behaving as if they’re bulletproof. They stop saving, for instance, because they’ll always have their job and their stocks will always go up.

Trump’s Asia Tour: From Old Conflicts to New Prospects / Politics / GeoPolitics
By: Dan_Steinbock
Trump’s grueling 12-day Asia tour was a quest for mega deals. US policies in Asia are shifting. The stress on competitive strategic visions is being redefined by historic bilateral economic opportunities with China, Vietnam, South Korea, the Philippines and other ASEAN and APEC nations..
Diplomatic history has its ironies. In the Obama era, US President initiated a pivot to Asia that he had little time to visit. In the Trump era, US President has been so busy fortressing America against the world that he has had to spend more time in Asia to tame rumors about US disengagement.

Bonds And Stocks Will Crash Together In The Next Crisis (Meanwhile, Bond Yields Are Going Up) / Stock-Markets / Financial Crash
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : I have been a bond bear for a while.
Back in the summer of 2016, I spoke at a small conference out in San Diego. My topic: How interest rates were going to go up.
It didn’t go over very well with people. I haven’t been invited back to speak, which is too bad—because I was right. (You may also want to learn what I predicted about today’s bubble in my exclusive free report, Investing in the Age of the Everything Bubble.)

A Generational Reset That Will Redistribute Wealth to the Bottom 60% Is Near / Economics / Demographics
By: John_Mauldin
Billionaire founder of top hedge fund Bridgewater Associates Ray Dalio got where he is by having keen insight into both human nature and economic trends.
Occasionally, he shares some of his wisdom publicly.
In one of his recent articles, Dalio argues that it is a serious mistake to think you can analyze or understand “the” economy because we now have two of them.

Gold’s Long-term Analogies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: P_Radomski_CFA
A daily rally in gold, daily decline, daily turnaround and other daily price developments are both interesting and dangerous. Interesting, because nothing is as exciting as a big intraday move. Dangerous, because they can make one too emotional about a given trading position and lose the focus on the big picture (forgetting about the forest by focusing on individual trees). In today’s analysis, we feature two analogies to the previous situations in gold which should make it clearer what’s likely to be seen in the coming months, even if a lot of daily price swings in both directions are about to be seen shortly.

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Store Precious Metals Yourself (Hint: It’s More Than The Risk Of Theft) / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: HAA
Olivier Garret : There’s nothing like holding a gold coin in the palm of your hand. So it’s not surprising that many investors prefer to store precious metals at home or somewhere nearby.
But is it worth the trouble?
While I agree that having some precious metals stored safely at home may benefit you in the event of a major crisis paralyzing the financial system, that should amount only to a small portion of your holdings.

PetroYuan Can Accelerate the De-Dollarization / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Submissions
The move away from Petrodollar
In 1974, US President Richard Nixon and King Faisal from Saudi Arabia struck a deal. This deal gave birth to the petrodollar system which still lasts until this day. The deal involves Saudi Arabia selling oil to its largest buyer back then, the U.S. In turn, the U.S. provides Saudi Arabia with money, military aid, and political support. The Saudis then reinvest billions of their petrodollar revenue back in U.S. Treasury bonds.

Bitcoin Rebounded Strongly From 5427 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Franco_Shao
BTCUSD rebounded strongly from the bottom support trend line of the price channel on the daily chart after a sharp drop from 7887, suggesting that the bitcoin price remains in the uptrend from 1812. As long as the channel support holds, the fall from 7887 could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend and further rise could be expected after the consolidation.

FTSE 100 Stocks Index Holds Support at 7140 / Stock-Markets / UK Stock Market
By: Submissions
Dividend Investments : Stock markets are broadly higher and the UK economy looks to be supportive of these trends. Growth in gross domestic product (GDP) figures and in Industrial Production has prompted the Bank of England to drastically revise its interest rate schedule as there is now an indication that consumer inflation levels could begin to become problematic if further action is not taken. This has sent valuations in the GBP higher, but this has also led to some stalling in the FTSE 100 stock index.

Did The Fed’s Alan Greenspan Admit Gold Is Being Manipulated? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Avi_Gilburt
Every now and then I see another analyst publicly claim that the gold market is being manipulated. And, the reason they come to that conclusion is because the market moved in way “they did not expect.”
Now, for those of us who are thinking people, we clearly see the issue with such a perspective. Why is it “manipulation” when an analyst is not able to recognize their own limitations?

Does Stripping Streets of ALL of their Trees Impact House Prices (Sheffield Example)? / Housing-Market / UK Housing
By: N_Walayat
Sheffield City Council's Streets Ahead PFI Contract with the Spanish Ferrovial family owned multinational Amey apparently also means that many of the Sheffield's tree lined suburbs are being stripped of virtually all of their big trees that have taken over 100 years to grow to their current house prices boosting splendour.
The big question is does felling of these community assets valued at approx £50k each (CAVAT method) also mean that the properties on these streets are also being felled?

The Trump Administration’s IP Battle Against China / Politics / China US Conflict
By: Dan_Steinbock
In recent weeks, friction between the White House and China has escalated in intellectual property. The question is, will it result in a global trade war.In mid-August, President Trump asked U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to open an investigation into China's intellectual property (IP) practices. “This is just the beginning,” Trump told reporters.
In turn, Lighthizer, a veteran Reagan administration trade hawk, seized the notorious Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which in the 1980s was used against the rise of Japan.
