How Investors Can Leverage the Most Powerful Force in the Universe / Stock-Markets / Investing 2016
By: Investment_U
Andrew Gordon writes: Investing in the early days of an initial public offering (IPO) isn’t what it used to be.
Last year’s IPOs are a shining example. Shares of tech companies that IPO’d in 2015 averaged around a 40% drop from their first-day closing price to current prices.
The kind of gains you would have gotten from Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) (over 35,000% since its IPO), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) (over 53,000%) and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) (nearly 16,000%) are nowhere to be found among newly minted public companies.

By: Denali_Guide
Now before you get down on Mr. Nasti's ($NASI) case, just realize he is just the bagman for the US TREAS, BOJ, BOE, ECB, ESF, JPM, and PPT. They all helped jump start the volume which has brought the mullets and some institutions back as well as BIG foreign money coming to the USA as tax dodge in their own countries. Ironic isn't, the USE Red-Letters all the other tax havens and busts them, not to increase the US's legal take, but to steal their business !
Wow what a plan !! They did that in plain view and not one figured it out !!

An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head. Eric HofferThey might lose a battle or two, but war is a composition of battles, and when it comes to war, these guys never lose as their principle is simple. Take no prisoners, shoot to kill and ask questions only if the enemy survives the onslaught of bullets. This would be a good time to read the book “the art of war” by Sun Tzu.

ABN AMRO Predict Gold At $1,300 By Year End, Up From $900 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
Gold is holding solidly above $1,200, brushing off news of the freshly released Fed minutes. Iranians cautiously welcome the Saudi-Russian oil production pact, while stating that they support cooperation to achieve higher oil prices, they also have domestic pressure to ramp up export of supply and cash in after years of being locked out of the market.

What is the Best Trade on the Gold Mining Sector? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Sam_Kirtley
Gold prices soared last week when Fed market pricing went to extremes, with bond prices indicating that there was next to no chance of a rate hike in the next twelve months. We have covered the cause of this irregular pricing, which was the stopping out of 2016 consensus macro trades, in a previous article, so we will not repeat ourselves here. For the purpose of this analysis it suffices to say that gold prices were heavily overbought when they challenged $1250 and that the currently high levels are unsustainable.

Cameron FAILS - BrExit, Can Britain Break FREE of European Superstate? / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Prime Minister David Cameron will all but fail in his negotiations with the 28 european union member states, this despite surrendering virtually every red line of his already heavily watered down proposed deal with the European Union who stated would be non binding and only legislate for AFTER the the UK had voted to remain within the EU. Which the EU Parliament President clarified as implying that virtually every aspect of the deal would be subject to debate and amendment from the dozen or so eastern european benefits claiming states, who would likely decide to reject most of the so called UK deal that would effectively have been used as a smoke screen to hoodwink the British people into giving up their democracy and freedom.

Gold Price Shows Some Resilience / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Jesse
Gold and silver were hit early in the overnight, and there was some obvious quote stuffing and other gimmicks in the gold futures to take the price lower. Don't take my word for it, it was Nanex that printed this and showed the data.
And gold once again would not be denied, and held the 1200 level and then some.
Let's see how we keep going in this potential chart formation.
