Custom Index Charts Suggest US Stock Market Ready For A Pause / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Weeks after the Election Rally initiated a moderately strong upside breakout rally, our Custom Index charts suggest the US stock market may be ready for a brief pause in trending before any new trends continue. Global traders and investors jumped into the US stock market just days before the US elections expecting something big to take place. The rally that initiated just days before the US election pushed our Custom Index charts well into the upper range of the 2016 to 2018 upward sloping price channel. This suggests the US stock markets have ended the downward price reversion and are now attempting to extend into the upward price channel – attempting to resume the upward trending that started after the 2016 elections.

Markets Rallying on Vaccine Hopes, but Higher Taxes and Inflation Loom / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: MoneyMetals
For months, including this past week, markets have rallied on hopes for a vaccine and more stimulus – even as the real economy is suffering under expanding virus restrictions and as a stimulus deal keeps getting thwarted by partisans in Washington.
Negative divergences are showing up, with market momentum waning and volume thinning in the major averages.
Another threat markets seem to be overlooking – at least for now – is that of tax hikes under an incoming Joe Biden administration.
More on that in a moment. But first, let’s review this week’s price moves in metals markets.

Is the Vaccine a Game-Changer for Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The vaccines are coming – we’re saved! Although the arriving vaccines are great for humanity, they are bad for the price of gold.In November, Pfizer and BioNTech announced that their mRNA-based vaccine candidate, BNT162b2, had demonstrated evidence of an efficacy rate above 90% against COVID-19, in the first interim efficacy analysis. As Dr. Albert Bourla, Pfizer Chairman and CEO, said:
Today is a great day for science and humanity. The first set of results from our Phase 3 COVID-19 vaccine trial provides the initial evidence of our vaccine’s ability to prevent COVID-19.
Indeed, the announcement is great news! After all, the vaccine is the ultimate weapon against the virus. There’s no doubt that we will get the vaccine one day. Thank God for scientists – they are really clever people who work hard to develop a safe vaccine! Why can’t we have more of them instead of so many economists? As well, the pandemic triggered unprecedented global cooperation to develop a vaccine as quickly as possible. The funds are enormous, while the bureaucrats eventually decided to behave like decent human beings for once and eased their stance in order to speed up the whole process. Great!

Beat the Coming ‘Taxflation’ Tsunami with Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: MoneyMetals
The final weeks of the tumultuous year that has been 2020 present opportunities for investors to get their financial houses in order ahead of the New Year.
Nobody knows what 2021 will bring. But new political risks are likely to emerge – including the threats of higher taxes and a more punitive IRS.
With control of the U.S. Senate still up for grabs pending runoff elections in Georgia next month, and the final outcome of the presidential race still in dispute, an environment of uncertainty will reign for the remainder of the year.
President Donald Trump continues to pursue a longshot campaign to rescind fraudulent election results in multiple states through the courts or state legislatures.

February 2020 COVID Breakdown Gap Acting As Support For Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2020
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The difference in the price setup of the initial February COVID-19 downside price gap on the INDU (Dow Jones Industrial Average) vs. the SPY (SPDR S&P500 ETF) clearly shows how this previous gap in price is acting as a critical support level for the current price rally. When the downside price gap first started, near February 25th, 2020, technical traders immediately identified this “impulse gap” as an important price structure to watch in the future. As the US stock markets recovered in late August/September, price levels began to attempt to “fill the gap” on the INDU chart. On the SPY chart in August/September, prices filled the gap then rallied to new highs – initiating a new upside price rally attempt.
My team and I believe these gap levels on the INDU and SPY currently represent a critical horizontal support level for both the INDU and the SPY. This gap range is now acting like a “hard floor” in price that should be watched by all traders. We will examine these setups on the charts below.

Same Fear, Different Year: This Vaxx Scam Has Been Going on for More Than a Century / Politics / Pandemic
By: Jeff_Berwick
2020: The Movie would go something like this:
Over the last few centuries, societal expectations led the most intelligent humans to choose not to have children while the least intelligent reproduce indiscriminately, creating increasingly dumber generations. (Societal = Socialist + Liberal?)
These multi-generations are exposed to the exact same scam every few years, and have seen Ebola, H1H1, Aids, Swine Flu, Zika Virus, MERS, Bird Flu and SARS come and go. None of which shut down the world. And almost none of which have a licensed, human-tested vaccine. Despite years and years of development.

How Will Gold Perform This Winter? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Brace yourselves, winter is coming! It may be a harsh period for the United States, but much better for gold.Some of you may have seen snow this year already, but the astronomical winter is still ahead of us. Unfortunately, it could be a really dark winter. Instead of joyful snowball battles and making snowmen, we will have to contend with the coronavirus . The vaccines will definitely help (the first doses of Pfizer’s vaccine were administered this week), but their widespread distribution will begin only next year. So, we still have to deal with the pandemic taking its toll here and now – as the chart below shows, the number of daily COVID-19 cases is still above 200,000 in the U.S.

Precious Metals: The Foundation of A Sound Financial Portfolio / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Nick_Barisheff
Precious metals are the bedrock of the financial world. They have permanent value and are the oldest form of money in the world. If you don’t own physical gold and silver, your investment portfolio lacks a sound foundation. Precious metals are often sought after as a store of permanent value, and as a method of diversifying portfolios.
While cash, bonds, stocks and real estate offer investors financial diversification, precious metals underpin all other assets, particularly during times of economic turbulence and market turmoil.
Imagine an upside-down pyramid containing successive layers of asset classes.

Gold Price Green Light For Mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2020
By: Zeal_LLC
The gold miners’ stocks are finally perking up again, after spending months slogging through a grinding correction. Contrarian traders are taking notice, starting to redeploy capital in this high-potential sector. Gold miners’ earnings and thus stock prices are overwhelmingly driven by gold’s fortunes. And the yellow metal’s recent technicals are signaling a mature correction, green-lighting gold stocks’ next major upleg.
Bull markets are an alternating series of uplegs followed by corrections, for every few steps forward there is always one step back. These periodic selloffs are essential for bulls’ health and longevity, rebalancing sentiment and technicals before they get too overheated. Popular greed growing too extreme early in bulls will prematurely slay them. All available near-term buying is sucked in, exhausting capital inflows and upside.
The most-important times to trade during bull markets are correction bottomings and upleg toppings. The mission is to buy in relatively-low at the former, then sell relatively-high at the latter. That’s the lowest-risk and fastest way to multiply wealth in ongoing secular bulls. But executing on this strategy is challenging in real-time, because these tradable major lows and highs aren’t definitive until well after they’ve passed.

Big Down Day For Gold And Silver; More To Come? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2020
By: Kelsey_Williams
After a recent spike to the upside over the past seven days, both gold and silver have turned negative again and could be headed back to their recent low points reached early in the day on Monday, November 30th.
The movement in both gold and silver is evident of a decided shift in trend direction to the downside. What happens after prices return to their recent lows could prove interesting; or downright discouraging if you are expecting a resumption of the trend to higher prices.
Silver at its recent reaction high point yesterday reached $24.80. At that point it was still down $5.00 per ounce from it August intraday high of $29.80. When silver touched $21.80 last week it represented a loss of more than twenty-five percent from its August peak.

Why Investors Need to Be Invested in Amazon AMZN Stock / Companies / Amazon
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Amazon had soared into the stratosphere, literally doubling in price from its March low, breaking above $3400 early July putting Amazon on an eye watering EC level of 148, prompting me to sell over 50% of my holdings which I flagged ahead of time in the comments, following which Amazon did correct down to $2900 though not to anywhere near it's buying level of $2525. Following which Amazon did manage to break to a new high of $3552, but again it was not able to hold the levels due very high valuations which currently has Amazon trading down to $3099.
