Understanding the Benefits of Cannabis Tea / Personal_Finance / Cannabis
By: Dylan_Moran
Most of us use cannabis for their recreational and medicinal properties. As marijuana continues to become more mainstream, the most common consumption methods are still smoking, vaping, or in the form of edibles. Consumption of marijuana in the form of tea is far less common. However, experts suggest that this form relieves consumers from some of the most well-known risks of smoking.
It is important, however, to remember that marijuana tea is not a new invention by any means. In many ancient cultures, marijuana-infused brews were used extensively because of its anti-inflammatory and anesthetic properties. These teas were used as treatments for conditions such as headaches, nausea, childbirth, epilepsy, and others.

The Next Catalyst for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The precious metals sector remains in a correction, and as long as the 200-day moving averages hold, a bullish consolidation that began last September.
Sure, Gold made a new high and is still holding around the previous high, but the rest of the sector has not confirmed that strength. When Gold is outperforming Silver and the gold stocks, it is not a bullish signal for the short-term.
With that in mind, we can look ahead to anticipate potential catalysts that could push the sector into breakout mode and to new highs.

By: Submissions
Firewall and anti-virus used to be a business’ first line of defence when it came to cyber-security. However, in the last five years the IT Security landscape has radically evolved and malware is now more sophisticated than ever. So much so, businesses have no choice but to increase their IT infrastructure and first line of defence.
Defence wears many guises.

Car insurance: what the latest modifications could mean for your premiums / Personal_Finance / Insurance
By: Justin_Weinger
When is a car modified and when it is not modified? No, this isn't intended as a philosophical question, though many motorists could easily feel as though it is when they are trying to navigate the pitfalls of insuring their car. Still, it's a question to which you really need to know the answer.That's because, if you do need to claim on your car insurance, an insurer could refuse to make the payout if they learn that the vehicle was a modified one without their knowledge. Worse, the insurer could even cancel the policy, as your payments might not have reflected the car's worth.

Stocks Rise as Zombie Companies Proliferate / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Michael_Pento
Share prices on the major US exchanges are hitting all-time highs at the same time that both the number and percentage of companies that do not make any money at all are rising.According to the Wall Street Journal, the percentage of publicly-traded companies in the U.S. that have lost money over the past 12 months has jumped close to 40% of all listed corporations--its highest level since the NASDAQ bubble and outside of post-recession periods.
In fact, 74% of Initial Public Offerings in 2019 didn’t make any money as opposed to just 25% in 1990—matching the total of money-losing ventures that IPOED at the height of the 2000 Dotcom mania. The percentage of all listed companies that have lost money for the past three years in a row has surged close to 30%; this compares with just over 10% for the trailing three years in the late 1990s.

Junior Gold Mining Stocks Setting Up For Another Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Our recent research suggests the US stock market may be entering a period of volatility that may include a broad market rotation/reversion event. We believe this volatility event could begin to happen anytime over the next 10 to 30+ days. The rally in the US stock market ending 2019 and carrying into 2020 appears to be setting up a “rally to a peak” type of price pattern. Please take a minute to review the following articles we’ve posted recently about this topic and how it relates to opportunities in Metals/Miners.
January 20, 2020: Q4 EARNINGS SETUP THE RALLY TO THE PEAK
January 15, 2020: SHIFTING UNDERCURRENTS IN THE US STOCK MARKET
The potential for a volatility spike resulting from a price peak formation (see the January 20, 2020 article above), could setup a moderately broad downside price reversion event that may prompt a 5% to 8%+ downside price correction. If that happens, as we expect, over the next 5 to 10+ trading days, then precious metals and miners should explode to the upside as a “risk-on” trade moves capital into the metals market.

Pope Francis Calls Marxist Economic Summit / Politics / Religion
By: Antonius_Aquinas
As if there needs to be further evidence that the current occupant of St. Peter’s Chair in Rome is a Marxist, the announcement of an upcoming conference at Assisi entitled the “Economy of Francesco” should convince any skeptic otherwise.
In his invitation letter to “young economists and entrepreneurs worldwide,” Bergoglio sets the agenda for the Leftist confab quite clearly which is virulently anti-market, a call for massive redistribution of wealth, and a reordering of the current economic systems of the world with a healthy dose of climate change nonesense:

Debt the Only 'Bubble' That Counts, Buy Gold and Silver! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: The_Gold_Report
Sector expert Michael Ballanger considers the last week in the stock and precious metals markets.
Ever since Sept. 19, 2008, when Hammerin' Hank Paulson appeared in front of the U.S. Congress on bended knee and begged those clueless politicians for a bailout—which he did successfully—the spread of moral hazard throughout the world has been a contagion that makes the Bubonic plague appear as harmless as the common cold.
That was, in fact, the day that shall go down in fiscal infamy as a most dangerous precedent was etched into the fabric and soul of the U.S. financial system. Not only did it set the behavioral course for the banker-politico alliance, it laid out as an insidious blueprint the operation manual for treasury departments and central banks around the world, the result being where we are today, a global economy teetering on an Mount Everest of debt with no solution on any horizon.

What Do Fresh U.S. Economic Reports Imply for Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Latest economic data were published last week, indicating that the U.S. economy remains on solid footing. Gold prices held up relatively well – but can it last?
Recent U.S. Economic Data Show General Health
Last week was full of economic reports. Let’s analyze them. First, the CPI rose 0.2 percent in December, slightly below expectations and the 0.3-percent increase in November. But as the chart below shows, the CPI (and the core CPI as well) rose 2.3 percent over the whole 2019, which was the largest advance since the 3.0-percent rise in 2011. Yet inflation is still quite low by historical standards.

Corporate Earnings Setup Rally To Stock Market Peak / Companies / Corporate Earnings
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Our research team believes the current Q4-2019 earnings season and expectations are prompting a “Rally To A Peak”. We’ve been warning our followers and clients that we believe the US Stock Market has rallied to levels that constitute a “near peak enthusiasm” related to historical price volatility.
As you’ll see from these charts, below, we are not dismissing this current upside rally and the potential that it could last for many weeks or months longer – we’re just warning our followers and clients that we believe a very volatile period or price rotation is setting up within the next 10 to 25+ days as prices reach the historical upper boundary.
Our researchers believe that price channels are a very common form of technical analysis. Price enters a channel when defined boundaries are established and when price continues to rotate within these boundaries. Historically, when a price channel is broken or breached, a new price channel is quickly established. You’ll see examples of this very clearly in the Custom US Stock Market Index and Custom Volatility charts below.

Gold Price Trend Forecast 2020 - Part1 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The gold bull market ended 2019 with a strong gain of 19%. The first half the year was marked with uncertainty as the price after an early year surge to $1350 gave up all of it's gains to drift lower to trade down on the year by early May. However, this was the calm before the bull market storm and that set the stage for a powerful bull run starting early June that saw the Gold price rocket higher to a early September peak of $1566, up over 25% on the year! Igniting Gold bug fever and encouraging prominent gold bugs to get carried away with headlines of Gold heading for $5000 and beyond.
