It continued overnight. Events are fast moving. Reports indicate scores killed, many others injured, numerous arrests made by regime authorities. They remain in power - martial law and a curfew imposed.

Gold And Silver – NWO-Created Tragedies Will Never End, Seek Truth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
Nice, France weighs heavily and brings home the point, tomorrow is promised to no one.
The tragic mass-killing of Bastille Day celebrants in Nice, France may not have been a planned terrorist attack, but its consequences are no less extremely sad and equally infuriating. We heard about comments made from neighbors of the truck driver that he was not that religious, was undergoing a divorce and was not handling it very well and apparently snapped.
It matters not if that explanation makes sense in the wake of a senseless act of running over a hundred or so people, killing around 84, including children. The man was shot dead by police, so little else will ever be directly known from the Tunisian known mostly for petty criminal acts but no known terrorist affiliations.

The Upside Potential in Junior Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Our research continues to argue that the current, record rebound in gold stocks will continue. Every time we’ve predicted a correction, the weakness in the sector has been only a fraction of what we expected in both price and time. New bull markets that follow epic bear markets typically show exceptional strength in their first year. This bull has been no different. Thus, we expect the strong performance to continue. Today, we share a few reasons why the junior sector is poised to outperform in nominal and real terms.

Understanding The Stock Market Bull After Fink Speaks... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
This has been one crazy market for quite some time now. The endless overall up trend has been with us for seven plus years. The last two years have been a time for consolidation in to the teeth of some very bad news. When bad news can't sell a market you understand it means that it's simply basing and waiting on the right combination of news to try the next leg up. It finally came in the form some good employment numbers. Job creation reached a level that allowed the bulls to race onward and upward. Prior to that report, we were dealing with a series of bad reports on the Jobs Report, ISM Manufacturing Report, and ISM Services numbers. The market simply couldn't find a catalyst. Earnings were on the decline as well. The market bears tried to get the market down as bad news kept hitting from everywhere, but they just couldn't get the job done consistently. They'd get a nice down move, but couldn't seem to ever follow through. The bulls would come in and save the day.

Gold’s Record Selling Overhang / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s mighty new bull market this year has been amazing, the result of heavy buying by investors and speculators alike. But these latter traders have pumped so much capital into gold futures that this metal now faces a record selling overhang. Since the hyper-leveraged nature of futures trading demands an ultra-short-term focus, speculators’ excessive bullish bets on gold pose major near-term downside risks.
Gold’s price trends are overwhelmingly dominated by global investment demand. Even though it has only accounted for about 1/5th of total demand in recent years, investment is wildly variable. With the rest of gold demand relatively stable, it is fluctuating investment demand that ultimately sets gold prices at the margin. Gold’s young bull in 2016 is largely the result of an influx of massive investment buying.

Capitalism Has Entered a New Era—and Historic Stock Market Investing Returns Are Gone Forever / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: John_Mauldin
We live in interesting times. We continue to see repercussions from Brexit. The other major players—in Europe, China, and Japan—seem to be in a downward spiral. Not to mention, the bubble-like issues we see in Canada and other parts of the world.
The world is quickly getting far more complex… something that central banks’ (and everybody else’s!) models can’t capture. We are tiptoeing into a period of enormous uncertainty.

Gold Price Could Hit $5,000 or Even $10,000 in a Few Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: John_Mauldin
BY JARED DILLIAN : You have to be careful writing about gold.
You come out in favor of gold and you get maligned as some kind of doomsday-prepping, knuckle-dragging wingnut. Then you never get to go on TV. They don’t invite the crazy gold guys on TV.
I’ve been long gold since 2005. Rode it all the way down from 2011 to 2016. If you ride something down 45%, you are a moron. I’ll own it. I am a moron. I actually had a pretty good idea that there would be a correction in 2011, but I vastly underestimated how severe it would be.

When Will They Learn? / Politics / Social Issues
By: Submissions
Jeff Thomas writes: It will be no surprise to readers to say that collectivism is growing in the Western World. It matters little whether we refer to it as socialism, communism, Marxism, Fabianism, totalitarianism or any of its other names, the collectivist ideal is on the rise.
British conservatives worry over the extreme collectivist speeches of the new Labour leader,Jeremy Corbyn, who is far more to the left of the former leader, Ed Miliband, yet often fail to notice that Tory leaders are also becoming more collectivist in their rhetoric. Certainly the incoming Prime Minister, Theresa May, is further to the left than, say, Margaret Thatcher, yet we Britons often fail to notice that both of the primary parties are moving further to the left.
