Gold and Silver - They Just Could Not Resist / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Jesse

Gold and silver were higher most of the day, with gold selling off a little after the markets closed in Europe and Asia. The wiseguys just could not resist taking it back down into the close. lol.

The handle on the potential cup and handle formation is not firmly set yet as gold failed to close over 1270, coupled with the initial weak retest of lower support in the early handle stages. Normally we would like to see a little arc, an interplay of buying and selling. This time it went straight down and then rallied steadily higher. It risks turning into more of an ascending wedge.

The Reflex to Flee Donald Trump's America Might be "no drill"! / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: Michael_T_Bucci

If you are concerned about a Donald Trump presidency and have been suddenly struck with an impulse to leave America, you are not alone.

A website titled "Cape Breton if Donald Trump Wins" launched Feb. 16. Its front page splash read: "Hi Americans! Donald Trump may become the President of your country! If that happens, and you decide to get the hell out of there, might I suggest moving to Cape Breton Island!"

Canadian Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Richard_Mills

Probably the number one concern for investors is resource nationalism.

Where gov'ts of the countries you, me, we invest in decide to take a huge piece of your business; one for me, one for you, one for me one for you, two for me, one for you…etc etc etc.

Canada is, compared to too many other places we invest in, politically stable. There's also disease, rebellion and a dozen other concerns that are not present in Canada.

Gold and Silver Note Of Caution (And Ambiguity) / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: John_Rubino

Suddenly, gold and silver are good again. In two short months, they've morphed from targets of derision to shiny new toys on the financial playground.

Not surprisingly, questions have been pouring in from people who kind-of sort-of know the precious metals story and are wondering if they should jump in with both feet. A reasonable response: "If your time frame is the coming decade, sure, go for it. But if you're thinking in terms of months rather than years, you should be considering entry points and accumulation strategy."

Republican Showdown Coming / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: Stephen_Lendman

Since entering the presidential race last June, Trump shook things up like no other US aspirant in memory - turning an otherwise dull political season into a memorable one, for better or worse.

Republican party bosses want anyone but him. So do media scoundrels, becoming anti-Trump cheerleaders, going all-out to undermine his campaign, another reason to avoid them altogether.

Gold And Silver Charts Reviewed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_Noonan

In last week’s commentary, February Heralding End Of Down Trend?, we stated: The significance of February is its decided change in market behavior on the monthly and weekly charts.”  We are seeing even more evidence to support that premise, and all that is required is to observe the next corrective reaction to see where, at what level, price tests prior to resuming the start of an uptrend that began last December.

Donald Trump: A Problem Even for Conservatives / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: Walter_Brasch

The bully of the playground continued to be in the media spotlight and charging ahead to the Republican nomination for president.

In the 11th Republican debate, Donald Trump, bold and arrogant as always, kept up the attack against his three remaining opponents. To the man who once delighted in being called The Donald, Sen. Ted Cruz was “Lyin’ Ted,” a reference he made more than just a few times. However, several political fact checkers over the past three months have dismissed Trump’s claims as little more than half-truths, exaggerations, and lies. Politifacts, which checks candidate statements, revealed that about three-fifths of what Trump said during the campaign are incorrect. Among some of the errors Trump has made are that some of the families of the 9/11 suicide crews were in the U.S. prior to taking the lives of almost 3,000; that five detainees at Guantanamo Base, Cuba, whom Obama released were back on the battle field attacking Americans; that Mexico sent its citizens, especially criminals, into the U.S.; that the U.S., under the nuclear ban treaty with Iran, would be required to defend that nation if there was an attack by Israel; and that several polls show him ahead of Hillary Rodham Clinton. Several times over the past two decades, Trump has flip-flopped on issues, and then later claimed he hadn’t.

Super Tuesday Exit Polls Showed Voters Want Revolutionary Change / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: Stephen_Lendman

America’s dysfunctional political system is too corrupted to fix. Ordinary Americans understand.

Half the electorate usually ops out, refusing to vote when no choices exist, no one for high office representing them.

Governance at all levels is unresponsive to their rights and needs. People want revolutionary change, yet remain unwilling to get actively involved.

More and More Fed Officials Calling For NIRP / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Graham_Summers

The Fed Vice-Chair has begun laying the groundwork for NIRP.

The US Federal Reserve is obsessed with market reactions to its policies. Because of this, anytime the Fed plans to announce a major change in policy, it preps the markets via numerous leaks and hints… oftentimes for months in advance.

An excellent example of this concerns the Fed’s decision to taper QE back in 2013.

By: Jack_Steiman

So many questions. Not sure I have all the answers you're looking for, but we can do our best to try and understand what's taking place. The VIX has been in a stealth down trend off the top. Other than the occasional up day, it had not had the classic gap-down day that turned hollow at the end of the day.

Gold Price and Gold Stocks Launch! / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Gary_Tanashian

While at near-term risk, the gold sector is launching, not blowing off

Okay, the title of the post is a bit of a joke at this late stage of the rally because it sounds like hype and we have actually been calling the move in the gold sector a potential launch for weeks now, since gold and HUI each busted through their bear market limiters, the EMA 75 and EMA 55, respectively.
