Markets are Warning, But No Major Sell Signal / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2017
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures are challenging the upper trendline of the Broadening Wedge formation. Should it break through, the next level of support appears to be the lower Diagonal trendline at 2570.00. These supports are what makes the decline appears controlled and manageable. However, once beneath them, the decline becomes stronger as the SPX hones in on the next target indicated by the formations. For example, the Ending Diagonal formation, once triggered, is often completely retraced, with a target near 2400.00.
The smaller Broadening formation was relabeled as an Orthodox Broadening Top due to the near-horizontal lower trendline. If so, the first decline may stop at the Cycle Bottom support at 2499.76. We should remain flexible to allow for the possible conflicts between formations. It will become clear in the end.

Here’s Why The Market Mispriced Jay Powell / Interest-Rates / US Federal Reserve Bank
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : Jay Powell has been named the next Chairman of the Federal Reserve. Provided he survives the confirmation process, it is a done deal.
This wasn’t the easiest pick for Trump. It’s not easy to find a Republican who is also in favor of low interest rates. Powell isn’t exactly a dove, but he’s significantly more dovish than John Taylor.

USDCHF Moved Sideways Between 0.9938 and 1.0038 / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Franco_Shao
The USDCHF pair moved sideways in a narrow range between 0.9938 and 1.0038 on the 4-hour chart for several days. As long as the price is above 0.9938 support, the sideways move could be treated as consolidation of the uptrend from 0.9704, and further rise is still possible after the consolidation.

Gold Prices – Inflation vs. Deflation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Kelsey_Williams
Inflation is the debasement of money by government. The expansion of the supply of money and its subsequent loss in value results in an increase in the general level of prices for goods and services.
Deflation is characterized by a contraction in the supply of money and a decrease in the general price level of goods and services. (What we are currently experiencing is called ‘disinflation’ which is a lower rate of inflation.)

So You’re a Bitcoin Millionaire! Now Where Do You Invest? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: GoldSilver
If you’ve made a profit from bitcoin and other cryptos, congratulations! You’re obviously a smart investor who spotted a trend early on and was able to profit. Hats off to you.
But now it’s time to take some profits… right? If you were smart enough to buy in early, you’re smart enough to know that it’s not a profit until you take it. And that asset prices don’t rise forever, no matter how revolutionary the technology.
Yes, some cryptos will gain widespread acceptance and use, but most won’t. Yes, the technology is here to stay, but that doesn’t mean prices will rise indefinitely. Yes, it’s a whole new industry that will continue to grow and evolve, but that doesn’t mean you’ll make a killing forever.

Best Foreign Exchange Broker / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: Kavinesh_A
Foreign exchange is basically the exchange of one country’s currency or money into another country. The other name of foreign exchange is Forex. In the economy of a country, the total value of the currency depends on the supply and demand of it. Otherwise, we can say that the value of a country’s currency can be fixed to another country’s currency, like U.S dollar. And also by the country’s government, the value of that country’s currency can be fixed.

Why Oil Stocks May Be The Best Way To Profit From The Renewable Energy Revolution / Companies / Oil Companies
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : When Europe’s central banks pushed rates below zero, large depositors found themselves paying interest instead of receiving it.
But at the same time, some lucky homeowners found their mortgage payments turn into credits.
The weirdness continues.
Bloomberg recently reported that German power producers would likely be paying customers to use electricity on one weekend.

The Next Financial Crisis Will Reveal How Little Liquidity There Is / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2017
By: John_Mauldin
This is something I’ve been pondering for some time. I think the next crisis will reveal how little liquidity there is in the credit markets, especially in the high-yield, lower-rated space.
Dodd–Frank has greatly limited the ability of banks to provide market-making opportunities and credit markets, a function that has been in their wheelhouse for well over a century.
However, when the prices of massive amounts of high-yield bonds that have been stuffed into mutual funds and ETFs begin to fall, and the ETFs want to sell the underlying assets to generate liquidity, there will be no buyers except at extreme prices.

4 Reasons for Investment Firms to get Social / Companies / Social Media
By: Submissions
Social media platforms have opened up the world. These computer-mediated technologies facilitate the creating and sharing of information, ideas, career interests, and other forms of expression amongst people anywhere. These outlets are popular with private users as well as businesses and governments. The financial industry also is joining the social media movement.
Financial and investment firms use various platforms to reach huge audiences of potential clients as well as maintain contact with current customers. Some companies, however, seem to have more success at informing and connecting with clients than do others.

How to Protect All of Your Assets (Including Gold) from Government Seizure / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: HAA
Olivier Garret : On April 5, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order making private ownership of gold illegal. The order forced Americans to sell their bullion to the Treasury at the then legal price of $20.32.
Gold ownership remained illegal in the US until 1974.
Failure to tender your gold could get you a maximum fine of $10,000 (492 ounces of gold or approximately $625,000 at today’s prices) and up to 10 years’ imprisonment.

Electronic Gold: The Deep State’s Corrupt Threat to Human Prosperity and Freedom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: Stewart_Dougherty
“There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.” Final blog entry by Daphne Caruana Galizia, 53, renowned Maltese investigative reporter who specialized in exposing state corruption; posted on 16 October 2017, one day before she and her vehicle were blown to bits by a car bomb in Bidnija, Malta
In 2011, gold pulled a “Bitcoin” before anyone even knew what Bitcoin was: its price went vertical to $1,900 per ounce. Inflation-adjusted, the price was still far below its 1980 all-time high, and from all indications, it was going to keep heading north toward its free market print.

Bitcoin Blockchain Hypocrisy Most Foul... / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: The_Gold_Report
Precious metals expert Michael Ballanger examines why gold and silver have been stagnant while bitcoin and blockchains have taken off. As you all know by now, I have absolutely zero knowledge of anything related to the "blockchain" technology, which translates into "I don't own Bitcoin and would not touch HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (HIVE:TSX.V; PRELF:OTC) with a barge pole." That also means that I am constantly being reminded, primarily by those considerably younger than me, that geriatric anchoring is costing me (and my readers) a great deal of money by avoiding the space which, as you can see from the chart below, has been absolutely true.

When Civil Liberties are Violated by Government / Politics / US Politics
By: BATR
Behold, who really cares about civil liberties in a society that puts government as the final arbitrator of authority? Well, sadly the prospects for a rebirth in recognizing that individual liberties are the basis for a civilized union are more remote now than at any time in the last half century. Most people view civil liberties as defined by protecting the personage. Notwithstanding, constitutional freedom has an important component is maintaining a just and functioning government regime. Sinking into a despotic authoritarianism is the expected risk when governments go amok. However, inadequate attention is given to the discussion and study of what constitutes a responsible state power.

Silver’s Sign and USD’s Upcoming Reversal / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2017
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Most of technical analysis that one can read about gold and gold stocks is based on these markets alone. This is quite strange given the multitude of intermarket relationships, but still that’s the case. While it is true that looking at the performance of a given market is the most important thing that one can do when estimating the future performance of a given asset, it doesn’t mean that it’s all there is to it. Conversely, looking at the bigger picture and considering the less known factors can give investors and traders extra insight necessary to gain the Holy Grail of trading – the edge. So, we thought that you might appreciate a discussion of factors that are not as popular as the analysis of the precious metals market on its own, but that is still likely to have an important effect on its price.

The Stock Market- From Here to Infinity? / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2017
By: Plunger
Rambus has shown that the move upward in the stock market continues to be unimpeded. I would concur with the caveat that early next year it may peak and end the 9 year bull market, so far the second longest in history. Momentum is still powering higher, however internal deterioration has begun to be evident. Here is one possible scenario for the ultimate top:
