EU REMAIN Population Forecasts - England 4.1 million Explosion, London Migration Crisis / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The ONS latest revision to it's population forecasts, that looks set to see England's population explode higher by 4.1 million by 2024. Which in my opinion still greatly under estimates what is actually transpiring as a consequences of out of control immigration that sees total annual migration of between 800k and 1 million, and official net migration of 333k. Though other measures such as National Insurance suggest actual net migration is far higher, near double the official rate at 500k.

Firstly the headline ONS figure masks huge regional variations so that the impact of population growth ranges from mild to crisis levels in terms of the impact on communities as services such as health, housing, and schools are already at breaking point even before another 4.1 million is added to the populous.

A Guide to the Trump-Sanders Debate / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016

By: MISES

Ryan W. McMaken writes: It looks like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are planning to debate each other. Drudge today is calling it "the debate of the century." 

Color me skeptical. If it happens, the debate will provide some entertainment for political junkies, but the areas of disagreement between the two are actually quite small, and the debate is likely to focus on "soft" issues like being polite to women. Don't look for much debate on issues that get to the heart of the economic system.

Gold And Silver – At Significant Support. New “Story” Developing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016

By: Michael_Noonan

With the holiday weekend, the focus will be on charts only for, ultimately, they reveal the truest story of what is developing in any market. There is one more trading day in May, next Tuesday, but we are using ending data from Friday, the 27th, for the monthly charts.

The rally in both gold and silver has been a significant change in market behavior, and these changes are telling the world that the decline from 2011 may have ended. We note the ending action at 1, on the monthly chart. Besides the obvious support and resistance areas, what stands out are the two high volume months when price closed lower each time, once in March, and now for May.

The Next Systemic Lehman Event - New Scheiss Dollar & Gold Trade Standard / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016

By: Jim_Willie_CB

The entire Western financial systemic, complete with USDollar-based foundation platforms, is breaking down. The breakdown is in full view, very noticeable, in almost every arena. What happened in 2008 with the Lehman Brothers failure event is currently underway with almost every single financial platform, structural entity, financial market, banking structure, and arena. In response to the Lehman killjob event, where JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs strangled the victim firm (by denying Lehman proceeds on countless asset sales), the entire Western financial system has been lashed together, tied together, and connected among its many member parts. The main parts are the big banks, which use derivative contracts to lash themselves together. They believe there is strength in numbers, which is true to some extent. But the consequence turns out to be that all will fail at the same time in a cascade of insolvent marred by illiquidity while steeped in corruption and market rigging. The breakdown could be described as having begun in full force, in earnest power, at the start of this 2016 year. This is the year of systemic failure, or financial breakdown, and of revelations of important crimes for the last generation or more. The revelations are against the Western power centers for their grand criminal activities. The East, by favoring a Gold Standard, has put the West on notice for exposure, if not prosecution. The gold weapon has power in its arbiter role in commerce, banking, and economies. No nation will be spared from the urgent nasty effects of being forced to achieve trade balance.

Gold Junior Stocks Q1 2016 Fundamentals / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Zeal_LLC

The smaller gold-mining and exploration stocks have enjoyed an amazing year, soaring with gold’s new bull market.  Many have more than doubled since mid-January, and some have more than tripled at best in that short span.  Are such spectacular gains fundamentally-justified, or merely the result of ephemeral sentiment that could vanish anytime?  The gold juniors’ recently-reported Q1’16 results offer great insights.

The junior gold miners and explorers play a critical role in the world gold market.  They bear the major costs and risks associated with discovering and sometimes developing new economically-viable gold deposits.  They painstakingly find the new gold reserves to offset the constant depletion of the world’s existing gold mines, acting as the headwaters feeding the global mined-gold-supply pipeline vital to this industry.

UK Immigration Crisis Hits New Extreme, Catastrophic ONS Migration Stats Ahead of EU Referendum / ElectionOracle / Immigration

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The latest ONS data released this week shows an ACCELERATION in the rate of mass migration into Britain, in what amounts to a continuing 17 year long exponential trend of out of control immigration with net migration of +333k in the year to December 2015 added to Britain's population, an INCREASE of 20k on the preceding year which illustrates that immigration is STILL ACCELERATING. Which literally translates into a DAILY flood of near 1000 people turning up on Britain's shores and demanding housing, education, school places, jobs and benefits such as tax credits, housing and child benefits, health & social services that have been buckling and breaking as illustrated by social housing that in most cities has been in a state of total paralysis for many years now.

$HUI (Gold Bugs Index) Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Gary_Savage

I said one doesn’t need to chase the rally during the second leg, any gains would not be sustainable and would be given back.

At the low yesterday miners had already given back 62% of the second leg gains, and we are not done with the Intermediate Cycle Low yet. The final Intermediate Cycle Low isn’t due until late June or early July. This is why it wasn’t critical to chase the second leg, one was going to get a second shot at it anyway.

Gold Price Looking Vulnerable While Gold Stocks Correct / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Last week we highlighted our gold stocks bull analog chart which showed the gold stocks correcting at least 20% at this point during both the 2008-2009 and 2000-2001 recoveries. We concluded that gold stocks were likely to continue to correct in the days and weeks ahead. While that has played out so far, we should also note that Gold is suddenly looking more vulnerable.

The 5 Fatal Flaws of Trading / Interest-Rates / Learn to Trade

By: EWI

Close to ninety percent of all traders lose money. The remaining ten percent somehow manage to either break even or even turn a profit -- and more importantly, do it consistently. How do they do that?

That's an age-old question. While there is no magic formula, Elliott Wave International's own Jeffrey Kennedy has identified five fundamental flaws that, in his opinion, stop most traders from being consistently successful. We don't claim to have found The Holy Grail of trading here, but sometimes a single idea can change a person's life. Maybe you'll find one in Jeffrey's take on trading. We sincerely hope so.
