Land Rover Discovery Sport - Week 3 HSE Black Test Review / ConsumerWatch / Motoring
By: N_Walayat
Here's my week 3 update of owning and driving an Land Rover Discovery Sport of what to expect if your considering buying one as it does take a few weeks before one is fully aware of the cars plus and minus points, such as the pretty feeble plastic trim that tends to surround Discovery Sports, the knocking sound that many experience again from poor quality trim. So whilst the Discovery Sport looks great and general drives well, in many respects my 11 year old Zafira was better! And what's worse of all is Land Rovers sales pitch of 53.3mpg fuel economy which you will never get anywhere near to in real world driving. So watch my most recent video of buying and owning a Land Rover Discovery Sport, where this HSE Black was bought from Hunters in Chester.

If You Want to Invest in the Stock Market, You Need to Master This Skill / InvestorEducation / Learning to Invest
By: Chad_Champion
Let’s start with the bad news first…
There’s a finance theory called the efficient market hypothesis. One of the titans of finance, Eugene Fama, developed it back in 1965.
In short, it says that stock market prices fully reflect all current information. In other words, stocks are always trading at their fair value.
If that’s true, it means that there’s no way for investors to find undervalued investment opportunities or know when to sell when stocks are trading at overvalued prices.

By: EWI

How to Trade Gold During Second Half of January, Daily Cycle Prediction / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Metals are setting up for that “Rip Your Face Off Rally”. The following charts for Gold and Silver show a very interesting setup that is unfolding as the US markets continue to strengthen – that being that the Metals are showing strength in price and we can only assume this is related to some level of FEAR in the markets or expectations that the “Equities and Bitcoin Bubbles” are nearing an end.

By: MoneyMetals
Here’s What Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, Idaho, Etc. Are Doing...
In 2017, Arizona, Louisiana, Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina, and even Minnesota made progress on the sound money front. In 2018, other states could do so as well.
36 states have already removed sales taxes from precious metals transactions, and bills being pushed this year by sound money advocates in Alabama and Tennessee could add to that list.

Many Stock Market Investors Get Rich Out By Sheer Luck / InvestorEducation / Investing 2018
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : This is a story I have never told before and will never tell again.
I actually got my start in investing in a stock-picking competition in middle school. I picked Wang Laboratories…
Because…
WANG
Thirteen-year-old humor. Anyway, Wang was a flop, and I lost money on it. Talk about dating yourself—the old-timers will recall that Wang was actually an AMEX stock, the old curb exchange. I do miss the AMEX.

By: John_Mauldin
Only two weeks in and 2018 is already breaking records—mostly in a good way.
But that leaves 50 potentially less enjoyable weeks to go. So rather than focus on promising current events, I think I’d better dip into my annual forecast bag and share a few highlights from my friends with you. (you can find the previous part of the 2018 forecast here)
These are the people I follow, read, and trust for their financial expertise.

Here’s What Historically Happens to Stocks When Bull Markets End / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: GoldSilver
You undoubtedly know that 2017 was a record-setting year for the broad stock markets. And while gold was up last year despite numerous headwinds, most mainstream investors aren’t paying much attention to gold since they keep seeing so much green in their stock portfolios.
Even I was taken back by some of the data from the bull market in stocks…

Land Rover Discovery Sport - What You Need to Know Before Buying - Owning Week 2 / ConsumerWatch / Motoring
By: N_Walayat
Here's my week 2 update of owning a Land Rover Discovery Sport of what to expect if your considering buying one. For it takes at least a couple of weeks before one is fully aware of what one needs to know BEFORE one buys one as the various flaws only become apparent after real world use, such as the pretty feeble plastic trim that tends to surround Discovery Sports, the knocking sound that many experience again from poor quality trim for though the Discovery Sport looks great and general drives well, in many respects my 11 year old Zafira was better! And what's worse of all is Land Rovers sales pitch of 53mpg fuel economy that in no way matches the reality of real world driving experience as my latest video in this buying and owning a Land Rover series illustrates.

Silver Volume Extreme as in April 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: P_Radomski_CFA
During yesterday’s session silver moved back and forth in a volatile manner on volume that was the highest since April 2013. There were a few volume spikes in the meantime, but none as big as what we saw yesterday. The silver market is being very loud. But are you listening?
It may be hard to notice silver’s signs with all that’s happening in the USD Index and given the rally in gold stocks, but it’s definitely worth it. Let’s investigate (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Buy S&P 500 on Drop To 2,740 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: New_Forex_Trends
Stock Markets have started to show some signs of stalling in the early parts of this year, and this could indicate the potential for weakness given our proximity to the historical averages. The S&P 500 continues to trade near its record highs but the lack of event drivers over the next several weeks suggests that there is a growing possibility that markets could gravitate sideways to lower over this coming period.

Gold Stocks GDXJ Breaking Out / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2018
By: Rambus_Chartology
Today the GDXJ is breaking out above its neckline. Again I was looking for a little more chopping action between the neckline and the neckline symmetry line before the breakout, but so far it’s not happening. I’m going to take my second position and buy 150 shares at the market at 35.34 with the sell/stop at 33.31 for now. A backtest to the neckline would come in around the 35.10 for a slightly lower risk entry point.

So That’s What Stock Market Volatility Looks Like / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: John_Rubino
2017 was literally the smoothest stretch of highway that US stocks have ever traveled. Rising almost every day and seldom falling hard, they made it virtually impossible for investors to lose money. Here’s the Dow Jones Industrial Average over the past two years. Note how unnaturally smooth the recent action was.
