The Next IMMINENT Global Catastrophe After Coronavirus / Politics / Economic Collapse
By: Nadeem_Walayat
So the inevitable pandemic in our lifetime that most of the world including the whole of Europe and North America were totally unprepared that had moronic government scientists spouting in the early months that the general public should not wear masks which was due to lack of PPE stock, whilst prime ministers and presidents laughed it off as something that would magically disappear before Easter, instead has had a severe economic and social impact on all of our lives this past year. However given the fast materialisation of vaccines should soon start diminishing in significance of future impact.
So what else is out there lurking in the near mists of time about to have en equal if not greater impact on our everyday lives?
Asteroid impact? Inevitable yes, for instance Apopthis (named after the Egyptian snake god of chaos) is due for a very close rendezvous with Earth in April 2029, which is one of thousands that cross Earths orbit, but the range of probabilities span decades to tens of thousands of years, so not something that can be assumed to be definitely imminent in terms of a catastrophic impact.

Covid-19, SARS. Swine Flu. All 3 Were a Stock Market Screaming "Buy!" / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: EWI
Let's take a moment to update you on the relationship between COVID-19 and emerging market stocks. Earlier this year, our publications at Elliott Wave International showed that infectious disease epidemics tend to occur toward the end of bear markets. We cited such examples as SARS, swine flu, and COVID-19, which spread toward the end of major declines in the MSEI Emerging Markets Index.

Gold and Silver Supply/Demand Fundamentals for 2021 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
The supply and demand fundamentals for precious metals markets got thrown into disarray this year, leading to heightened volatility – first on the downside, then on the upside.
Although gold and silver will finish 2020 below their highs for the year, gold is still headed for an annual return of close to 25%; silver around 45%.
Can hard assets investors look forward to further price appreciation in 2021?
Yes, but…there are some near-term risks to the favorable long-term supply/demand outlook.

Stock Market 2021 Predictions for Another ‘Year Like No Other’ / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: John_Mauldin
By Robert Ross : Investors might have thought they'd seen it all in 2020. But the stock market action was merely a preview of what's to come in 2021.
Just to take a quick look back, the market gave everyone a scare in 2020 when it bottomed in March. But then the S&P 500 surged 67% between March 23 and year-end.
Certain stocks like Tesla (TSLA), Zoom (ZM) and Moderna (MRNA) performed even better, soaring by triple-digits.

Google Alphabet AI Stock Investing for 2021 and Beyond / Companies / Google
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The key thing about primary stocks is that we don't want them to give us shocks and surprises instead we want them to gradually trundle along their exponential trends so basically all we should be concerned with is whenever an opportunity occurs to add to holdings as was the case during the March pandemic panic crash.

Gold Price Seeks Direction as USDX Slips / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: P_Radomski_CFA
As of Wednesday (Dec. 30) morning, gold is range trading and remains more or less flat as it seeks momentum. As we wait for the precious metals to act on a catalyst, let’s also take a look at the Euro’s relation to the U.S. Dollar and how both impact gold.
Over the last 24 hours, the precious metals market did more or less nothing, despite the new daily decline in the USD Index. The latter is now testing its monthly and yearly lows, while the PMs are not. PMs – as a group – are not reacting to what should make them rally, and this is yet another bearish sign for the precious metals market.

Stock Market Price Amplitude Arcs/Gann Suggest A Major Peak in Early April 2021 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
W.D. Gann mastered price trends (angles/slope) and time in relation to predicting future price trends and peaks/troughs. Over the years, my team and I have done some research related to W.D. Gann’s theories and have come to a simple understanding of some of these concepts. In this article, we will review his primary theory that past price trends may help to predict future price peaks using angles/slopes and time factors.

People Dropping Like Flies from the Vax, Empty Hospitals and Tik Tok Nurse / Politics / Pandemic
By: Jeff_Berwick
People are dropping like flies from the Covid-19 vaccines. From Israel to Brazil to Alaska and Europe.
BUT DON’T BE ALARMED!
Remember the reassuring words from Dr. Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition, when she said that "people should not be unnecessarily alarmed if there are reports, once we start vaccinating, of someone or multiple people dying within a day or two of their vaccination who are residents of a long-term care facility. That would be something we would expect, as a normal occurrence, because people die frequently in nursing homes."

US Economy GDP 2021 / Economics / US Economy
By: Michael_Pento
Wall Street is universally bullish on the economy and stock market for 2021. For example, Morgan Stanley is on record predicting the U.S. economy will expand by 5.9% next year. The stock market has front-run this optimism. The most important valuation metric, total market cap to GDP, currently stands at an unprecedented 185%. This absurd valuation only makes sense if investors believe corporate profits will skyrocket next year. No other bull market in history even comes close to this historic distortion between the price of stocks and the underlying economy.Read full article... Read full article...

Nadeem Walayats AI Stocks EC and Buying Levels Explained / Companies / Stock Market Valuations
By: Nadeem_Walayat
My last look at AI stocks buying levels early September had some of the must own AI stocks trading at ridiculously high valuations for instance Amazon was trading on an EC of 148 against a target maximum of 100! Which prompted me to HIT the SELL button on over 50% of my holdings despite the promise of huge gains in revenues as the pandemic sales and profits came in.

Further U.S. Dollar Debasement Ahead in 2021 / Currencies / US Dollar
By: MoneyMetals
In a year that was marred by a global pandemic and a wave of economic restrictions that crippled many small businesses, financial markets proved to be resilient.
Of course, that resilience owes in no small part to the unprecedented outpouring of stimulus from Congress and the Federal Reserve.
More stimulus is on the way. On Sunday, President Donald Trump signed the latest COVID relief package into law.

Bitcoin Price Rallies Above $28,300 – Is This The Peak? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Chris_Vermeulen
We hope you enjoyed the brief holiday break… it seems Bitcoin has been busy while the markets have been resting! Bitcoin enthusiasts are adamant that the price rally has just started a parabolic move higher. From a technical standpoint, this current rally certainly appears to have gone parabolic. As any trader already understands, what goes up may eventually come crashing downward.
My research team and I believe failure at the current highs would represent a clear technical divergence pattern between price and the RSI indicator. Additionally, the current rally that started on December 20 consists of a $10,850 rally phase. The previous rally that took place from October 20 to December 2 consisted of a $9,200 rally phase. We believe this current rally phase from December 11 could be a Wave 5 rally (almost equal to the Wave 3 rally range). If our researchers are correct, this final rally phase could come crashing downward after reaching these peak levels above $28,000.

Viable Ways to Finance a Used Car / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: Steve_Barker
Picture this: you’ve already done your homework on how to choose which used car to buy, but you’re still unsure how you’re going to pay for it. You ask yourself if it’s a smart move to finance a used car just as how most people would on a new car. Compared to the latter, there are several risks in financing a used car.
Generally, getting an auto loan can help you buy a car that costs more than its value by doing monthly payments. It is a matter of knowing how to borrow wisely so you can fully enjoy the benefits of a car loan. Otherwise, you’ll end up losing more cash since used cars may have higher interest rates than brand new cars. Before you take your plan to another step, take into consideration the pros and cons when financing a car compared to paying in cash.
