Gold And Gold Miners Preparing for Big Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Just a few days ago we alerted our members and followers to a massive setup in the Palladium market that had not been seen in years. This chart formation provides an incredible opportunity for a trader to take advantage of and profit from the expected price decline. We alerted our members and followers on January 24th of this move.
As of today, Palladium has rotated downward by over 9% from the recent highs and should continue to move lower as this multi-month rotation extends. Even though this initial move lower (-9%) reaches our initial predicted target levels, we still believe support won’t be found till prices reach near the $1000 price level. If that support fails to hold, the price of Palladium could fall to the $900. This total move could be over -20% by the time this downward swing ends.

Trading Software is an Easily Helps the Investors / InvestorEducation / Trading Systems
By: Kavinesh_A
Share trading is done by an investor by visiting to broker’s place. If anyone interested in trading, he goes to near share broker office and trading there. In many cases, the broker office would not be in close. The trader should have to spend money for his fuel and parking charge for his car. All these things could be avoided, from a computer, laptop, tablet the share trade can be made. This is an easy job for him. All he has to down load the software Trader avec l'Indicateur ADX MT4 and start trading with the help of the software. There would not be any difficult in paying for the purchase. The purchases and sales would be very easy with the software. Many people are doing the share trading only from their home. In case, the software is installed in a computer that person could attend to his home works and do the trading by watching the screen. Even one person could read the book and simultaneously do the trading. Much work at home job workers are doing the trading while working for their companies by minimizing the screen of the share market.

Gold Price Forecast 2018 - February Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The gold price had a good start for 2018, rising from 1310 at the start of January to a high of $1367 with the most recent trading price of $1351. Which is set against my forecast for 2018 for the gold price to first target resistance $1375, an eventual break of which would propel the Gold price towards a 2018 target of $1500, and then further for the Gold price to ultimately target a trend towards $1800.

2018 Gold Price Forecast and Predictions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: GoldSilver
Most price forecasts aren’t worth more than an umbrella in a hurricane. There are so many factors, so many ever-changing variables and dynamics, that even the most educated guess almost always ends up wrong.
Further, some forecasts base their predictions on one issue. “Interest rates will rise so gold will fall.” That’s not even an accurate statement, let alone a sensible prediction (it’s the real rate that affects gold prices—the rate minus inflation).

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The World Gold Council published its gold market outlook for 2018. Will gold continue its January rally or should we expect declines?
Solid Gold’s Performance in 2017
The World Gold Council begins its report with a short summary of 2017. The organization points out that gold performed relatively well, given the fact that the global economy picked up, risk assets rose in value, while the Fed hiked interest rates three times. Against this backdrop, the price of gold in U.S. dollars rose 13.5 percent, the biggest annual gain since 2010, actually outperforming many other asset classes.

By: Graham_Summers

US Treasury Yields Inflating? / Interest-Rates / US Bonds
By: Submissions
FundamentalsThe Herd is running into one direction. It is from bonds into stocks. The latest BAML Fund Manager report showed an intresting picture. Extreme flows have been recorded over the past couple of months relative to the past 12 years. That came on top of the fact that flows were at elevated levels throughout the past 14 months already.
The investment reasoning behind that gets confirmed by economic fundamentals. The US economy is expanding, retail sales have risen to all-time highs, unemployment is at a multidecade low, and new home sales look as good as they have never looked for the past 10 years.

Stocks Bull Market or Hyperinflationary Market? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Raymond_Matison
More than a decade ago several insightful people recognized that the bond market as it related to the then AAA rated mortgage backed bonds was a well-crafted illusion. The eventual default in these bonds fostered a market meltdown which was within hours of totally freezing up markets, creating a global financial crisis. The stock market reflected this crisis by the Dow Industrial Index declining from 16,437 in October of 2007 to 8,207 in February of 2009, a 50% decline in less than a one and half year period.

In this short conversation, we talk about Palladium and how it topped last week, and this metal has already dropped 5.5% in value since then.

Plunging Stocks to Push Gold Higher? Fat Chance! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: P_Radomski_CFA
The bearish case for gold continues as fresh new bearish confirmations have just emerged. You have already read about gold’s huge weekly volume, gold stocks’ underperformance and many other factors. Yesterday’s session provides us with even more bearish details. But, there’s one thing that looks promising for gold bulls – the possibility of a big and sharp decline in the stock market. Some expect money coming out of the stock market to flow into precious metals, thus pushing their prices higher. As much as we love gold (and silver even more) as a very long-term investment, in today’s analysis, we dismiss the above stock-based hope.

How Will The S&P 500 Reach 4000? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Avi_Gilburt
There is no real secret to the market. In fact, it is rather simple. But, that does not mean the specific smaller degree moves in the market will be just as simple.
You see, markets are no different wherever you look. Whether that be metals, equities, Forex, crypto-currencies, etc, they all react in the exact same way. Markets simply move from one extreme to another. And, we need to be able to identify where those extremes can cause a turn.

Kalifornia Open Warfare on Business / Politics / US Politics
By: BATR
The People's Republic of Kalifornia is a prime example of centralized technocratic planning under the protection of a monolithic legislature that is entirely rooted in a Marxist "global warming" climate of totalitarian collectivism. Business in this cage of redistribution exists to support the extortion demands of the Sacramento commissars. Decades of reporting definitively conclude that the Golden State has depleted their wealth creation resources because of persistent disincentives and outright penalties for conducting legitimate business. The citadel of punitive regulations has been claimed by California, the undisputed champion of anti-capitalism.

Crises and Opportunity – Possible End of the Line for Stocks! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Enda_Glynn
There is not one person living today that has seen a period of overvaluation such as the onewe are living through right now.
And there are few people still alive who witnessed a crash similar to the one we are about to experience.
The market hit such an extreme level last week
that it brought the long term valuation metrics I follow
To a level higher than the property bubble highs of 2007,
the DOTCOM bubble highs of 1999,
the cocaine highs of 1987,
the space age highs of 1966,
and the roaring 20's highs of 1929.
