Pre-COVID US Economy Wasn’t All That Great Either / Economics / US Economy
By: Michael_Pento
The stock market and economy appear to be doing ok for the moment, as the incredibly dangerous bubble inflates further. This optimism is predicated on a plethora of COVID-19 Vaccines, which are projected to bring the economy back to its pre-COVID state of health. However, the problem with this line of thinking is that 2019 was anything but normal and healthy. It was a messy combination of a Fed slashing interest rates and re-imposing QE in order to achieve a rather mundane GDP growth rate of just 2.2%. The truth is, the pre-virus economic construct was built on Silly Sand—erected on top of asset bubbles, artificial interest rates and an avalanche of new debt issuance.
Not only will a return to “normalcy” merely bring us back to an anemic and non-viable economy, I want to highlight three things I’m watching out for during 2021 that could upend the economy and markets.

Platinum Begins A New Rally – Gold & Silver Will Follow / Commodities / Platinum
By: Chris_Vermeulen
My researcher team and I have highlighted a number of recent articles about Gold and Silver and how we believed the longer-term price activity and technical analysis supported a broad market advance in Precious Metals over the next 5+ years. If not, check out Part I and Part II of our recent Gold and Silver research and price predictions.
Today, we are seeing further evidence that metals are on the move – in Platinum. Platinum has been trading below $1000 for quite a while and this is roughly HALF the price level of Gold. Typically, Platinum rallies before Gold rallies in a traditional trending phase. Platinum rallies because it is used in industrial and other fields – thus it rallies in an advanced market rally phase. Gold begins to rally when a certain level of fear enters the markets or the markets enter a depreciation phase.

Don't Let the Silver (and Gold) Bull Shake You Off! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
Gold and silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs), a measure of large investor interest, are experiencing outflows as opposed to an almost interrupted inflow over the last few months.
Mining stocks which either look for or produce these metals have been moving sideways, testing the "mettle" of even perma-bulls.
Many investors see these as negative signs. But I view it as a Mr. Market's last big effort to "shake the tree," causing as many people as possible to fall off the galloping bull and head for cover.
As David Morgan has so aptly – and during times like this, often said, "A precious metals' bull run (especially that of silver) will either wear you out our scare you out!

What is the right type of insurance for you, and how do you find it? / Personal_Finance / Insurance
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Insurance is available for all types of situations and can ease financial difficulties resulting from a burglary, accident or holiday being cancelled. Some countries will not allow visitors to travel there unless they have adequate insurance to cover all eventualities and it is compulsory in other areas of life too.
You will be fully aware that you cannot ride a motorbike or car without insurance and yet many people think it wise to rent mopeds while in foreign countries thus invalidating their travel insurance if they have an accident.
How do you know what type of insurance you need for your situation, and who do you ask for advice?

What Are the 3 Stocks That Will Benefit from Covid-19? / Companies / Investing 2020
By: Submissions
The current coronavirus pandemic has had a massive effect on almost every aspect of the global stock market. In the United States, for instance, the stock market saw an enormous dip around March. This was the worst market crash ever since the infamous 1987 stock market dip in all the 120 years of its history.
The majority of the shares in South Africa have also deteriorated in value as a result. However, despite all the pressure that companies continue to experience with this pandemic, some have enjoyed good returns. Institutions actively developing vaccines to help curb this menace have a high probability of reaping their exploits' benefits.

Gold & the USDX: Correlations / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
It’s crunch time for gold and the U.S. Dollar Index (USDX), as they find themselves at a crossroads. As of Wednesday, the USDX is holding its lows but wants to move up, thus invalidating its breakdown. And gold? Well, gold did gain a bit today, but it’s essentially jumping up in an elevator that’s moving down – it just doesn’t have enough steam to break out.
While it’s been the traditional view that when the US Dollar declines, gold increases in price, we find that's not always the case when comparing historical patterns. And just to watch the price of gold itself when making a buying decision is not enough. One needs to pay attention to the price of gold in relation to moves in the USDX – that helps to indicate the bottom.
