Gold and Silver, Precious Metals Complex Getting Interesting / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Rambus_Chartology
In this report I would like to focus on the PM complex as it has rallied for the last several days. During most of the bear market gold has held up better than the PM stocks and silver so we'll start there to see if we can find any clues on what's really going on.
Last week I noticed a potential small H&S consolidation pattern that was forming above the July lows. Last Thursday I seen the breakout and Friday looks like a backtest to the neckline as it held support through out the day. If this little H&S consolidation pattern plays out it will give gold a price objective up to the 1187.30 area. So far gold has produced a higher low but not a higher high off of the July bottom. The brown shaded support and resistance zone shows major resistance between 1215 and 1230 or so.

Economic Channels of Distress - Fourth Turning Crisis of Trust / Economics / US Economy
By: James_Quinn
In Part 1 of this article I discussed the catalyst spark which ignited this Fourth Turning and the seemingly delayed regeneracy. In Part 2 I pondered possible Grey Champion prophet generation leaders who could arise during the regeneracy. In Part 3 I will focus on the economic channel of distress which is likely to be the primary driving force in the next phase of this Crisis.
There are very few people left on this earth who lived through the last Fourth Turning (1929 - 1946). The passing of older generations is a key component in the recurring cycles which propel the world through the seemingly chaotic episodes that paint portraits on the canvas of history. The current alignment of generations is driving this Crisis and will continue to give impetus to the future direction of this Fourth Turning. The alignment during a Fourth Turning is always the same: Old Artists (Silent) die, Prophets (Boomers) enter elderhood, Nomads (Gen X) enter midlife, Heroes (Millennials) enter young adulthood -- and a new generation of child Artists (Gen Y) is born. This is an era in which America's institutional life is torn down and rebuilt from the ground up -- always in response to a perceived threat to the nation's very survival.

Gold Markets Poised For Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Richard_Cox
In 2015, most of the financial media has been focused on stock performance. Several of the world’s most commonly watch stock benchmarks are holding near record levels, even with the slowing momentum that has been seen in most industry sectors -- so this is not entirely surprising. But when we look at recent activity in gold markets, it starts to look as though commodities deserve a second look.

Whole Lotta Stocks Bear Markets Goin' On / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
The Dow and S&P 500 have fallen by around 10% since August, which in normal times would be hardly worth mentioning. But below the surface, in what used to be the market's hottest sectors, much more serious damage is taking place.
Biotech, which had an epic bull market during the era of QE and the Affordable Care Act, had begun to crater even before Hillary Clinton proposed price controls for pharmaceuticals. Last week it went straight down.

Congress and the Fed Refuse to Learn From Their Mistakes / Politics / US Federal Reserve Bank
By: Dr_Ron_Paul
This month marks the seventh anniversary of the bursting of the housing bubble and the subsequent economic meltdown. The mood in Congress following the meltdown resembled the panicked atmosphere that followed the September 11th attacks. As was the case after September 11th, Congress rushed to pass hastily written legislation that, instead of dealing with the real causes of the crisis, simply gave the government more power.

The One Stocks Indicator to Watch as More Bubbles Burst / Companies / BioTech
By: ...
Michael E. Lewitt writes: One by one, the bubbles are bursting…
First it was the commodities bubble that blew up in mid-2014, which caused the collapse of energy and commodity stocks -they are now down between 40-80%.
It also caused the end of the corporate credit bubble in high yield bonds and bank loans over the second half of 2014 and into this year.

France Bombs Syria / Politics / Syria
By: Stephen_Lendman
France is part of the problem, not the solution, in Syria. It supported Obama’s war from inception. It partners in all US imperial wars, a key member of NATO’s killing machine, smashing one nation after another.
On Saturday, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius lied, blaming Assad for four-and-a-half years of war, ignoring Obama’s full responsibility and French complicity, backing his aggression on another independent country, using ISIS and other takfiri terrorists to do his dirty work.

Markets Gone Mad / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Mike_Whitney
Imagine your doctor put you on a daily dose of oxycontin, phenobarbital and Quaaludes for six years straight. Then he suddenly cancelled your prescription.
Do you think your behavior might become a bit erratic?
This is what’s going on with the stock market. It’s trying to shake off six years of overmedication brought on by the Fed’s zero rates and liquidity injections.

By: Investment_U
Bob Creed writes: A little over a week ago, the Fed announced it wasn’t raising rates. Our next chance of a hike is October... more likely, December.
Perhaps you breathed a sigh of relief when you heard the news. But we ask... Would an increase be so awful?

Stock Market Going Down, Gold Chop Continues / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Two weeks ago, I warned that September 17th would be a critical date: the perfect storm coming together with Mercury going retrograde and Jupiter opposing Neptune on the date that the FED announces its intents regarding interest rates. I also warned that gold stocks would take a dip into September 22/23.The stock market as measured by the S&P 500 made its low on Sept 24 falling over 111 points in one week (down over 5%) and gold stocks made their low on September 23 (down over 10%). Now we have Pluto going direct while the super moon eclipses on September 27. The set up is there for a huge rally in stocks on September 28 (to knock out the shorts) followed by a sharp drop into October 5th (especially after September 29/30). Gold stocks should rally into September 30 and then fall hard to new lows into October 5/6.

By: Joseph_Russo
Just as it did exactly 4-months following its print high in October of 2007, the Dow (within the few trading days remaining in September) is once again on path to breach its cyclical uptrend from a previous bear market low. Although the outcome may be better or worse this time around, the pattern unfolding is nonetheless hauntingly familiar.

The market started the week at SPX 1958. After a short-lived gap up opening on Monday to SPX 1980 the market headed lower into Thursday when hitting SPX 1909. Then after a morning low the market rallied into Thursday’s close and gapped up on Friday to hit SPX 1953. If that wasn’t enough, the market then dropped to SPX 1922 before rallying to close the week at 1932. For the week the SPX/DOW were -0.9%, the NDX/NAZ were -2.6%, and the DJ World index was -2.3%. On the economic front, reports for the week were mixed. On the uptick: Q2 GDP, consumer sentiment, the WLEI, new home sales and the FHFA. On the downtick: GDPN, durable goods, existing home sales and weekly jobless claims were higher. Next week, a busy schedule, will be highlighted by monthly Payrolls, the PCE and the Chicago PMI.

Violent Stock Market....Fed Tries To Protect Those 401K's... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
Ms. Yellen knew she made a terrible mistake last week by not raising rates. She made a speech to the world last night and did her best to correct that error in judgment. She said she would be raising rates this year. The banks would be the biggest beneficiary in that scenario, and it was a way to bring the averages up. It worked early on today as those futures exploded higher and held for the most part allowing a large gap up that started to run. And then it stopped running and went into reverse. A massive quick move down had the Nasdaq down over 100 points from its intraday high at one point before bouncing some. It was very ugly for the market overall. The market is unable to find leadership in enough areas to hold things up. Biotech stocks are in a strong bear market, with one after another falling hard day after day.
