Cheers for the 2021 Stock Market and These "Great Expectations" / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021

By: EWI


Insights into "the most speculative of strategies ... among the most speculative of traders"

We're reminded during this time of year of the wonderful classic by Charles Dickens, "A Christmas Carol."

As you probably know, the Victorian-era British novelist also wrote several other books, including "Great Expectations."

Gold Is Still a Bargain Buy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: The_Gold_Report

Peter Krauth discusses the confluence of factors that points to the gold bull market having plenty of upside ahead. In investing, as in life, perspective is everything.

To some, gold at $1,525 as we started out 2020 seemed expensive. Today, it's trading at $1,940, producing a 27% gain.

And yet, from several viewpoints, gold still looks cheap at current prices. Debt, easy money and geopolitical risks are ever present. And these have all been tough on the U.S. dollar. Ongoing weakness in the greenback looks set to continue, providing a huge tailwind for gold prices.

So much, well beyond the kitchen sink, has been thrown at trying to support the economy and kick-start activity. Yet we can't ignore vital indicators. Negative-yielding debt levels, ongoing negative real interest rates and anemic money velocity despite exploding money supply mean rising hard asset prices look inevitable.

Gold Price Set to Soar as Hyperinflation Looms / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: The_Gold_Report

Technical analyst Clive Maund discusses the dollar's fall and what it means for gold. We now have a very rare setup for gold which is in position to "go ballistic" as the dollar collapses. The dollar is being intentionally destroyed by the Fed, which is creating dollars in vast unprecedented quantities in order to buy up distressed assets on the cheap and in order to pave the way for the new "digital dollar." We are in the last stages of the fiat endgame where money creation goes vertical, quickly leading to it becoming worthless, as happened in Venezuela and Zimbabwe, and of course hyperinflation is a great way to pay off debt, because you can do so with worthless currency.

One worry that has been vexing would be investors in the precious metals sector in recent weeks is that gold and silver won't rise much because big banks like JP Morgan will cap it by dumping onto the paper market. The key point to keep in mind is that gold is "real money" and this being so the idea that a currency like the dollar can collapse towards zero and gold won't go up because the banks will be selling it on the paper market is both absurd and ridiculous – what would happen is that an untenable massive gap would develop between the price on the paper market and the price on the physical market, and the paper market would become rapidly irrelevant and obsolete, so we don't have to worry about that. In fact, to the extent that they are actually suppressing the gold price, all they are doing is creating a "pressure cooker" effect that will lead to a massive upside explosion, but you certainly don't want to wait for that to happen before you take positions across the sector.

Will the Fed Support Gold Prices in 2021? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

Gold ended 2020 at $1,891, partially thanks to monetary policy easing. In 2021, the Fed may not trigger a comparable rally in gold, but it should offer gold prices some support.

Welcome to 2021! I hope that it will be a wonderful year for all of you; a much healthier, calmer and normal year than 2020 was. And even more profitable of course! Indeed, at least gold bulls could be satisfied with the last year, in which the price of gold jumped from $1,523 to $1,891 ( London A.M. Fix )! It means that the yellow metal gained more than 24 percent, as the chart below shows.

I wish you a happy and prosperous New Year. May 2021 bring you and your family good health and success.

Looking back, 2020 was a year that few will forget. From a markets point of view, it was a year in which “dumb money” (traders who chase trends) was the smart money. Global central bank intervention caused a “wall of money” to flow from one asset to another, resulting in a year when “everything went up”.

Clap for NHS Heroes 2021 as Incompetent Government Loses Control of Virus Again! / Politics / Pandemic

By: Eliza_Walayat

It's time to clap for NHS Heroes again, which ran for 10 weeks from March to May 2020, the first wave of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately our incompetent, negligent government that is clearly being advised by mad scientists has once more lost control of the virus to such an extent that we are all once more being ordered to stay at home! For if the government had been competent than each successive wave should have been smaller than the one before instead the opposite has been the case with the UK passing 75,000 deaths in 28 days of a covid test, that looks set to double once more during 2021.

Inflation the bug-bear looking forward through 2021 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2021

By: Christopher_Quigley

Since the Covid 19 crisis began in March 2020 just over 10 trillion dollars have been pumped into the World's economies. This is the reason why the stock markets are breaking into new highs despite the fact that most countries are in recession.

"Given the broad global impact of the COVID-19 crisis, few populations, businesses, sectors, or regions have been able to avoid the knock-on economic effects. That means government measures have had to support large parts of the economy in a very short time to maintain financial stability, maintain household economic welfare, and help companies survive the crisis. In addition, countries have tended to escalate their interventions as the crisis increases in severity and lockdowns persist. Nine of ten countries in our data set have already announced at least one additional financial-relief or -stimulus package. Two-thirds of countries have announced three or more packages, while a few countries have announced as many as six or seven packages".

ESG ETF Investing Flows Drive Clean Energy to Fresh Highs / Companies / Investing 2021

By: Chris_Vermeulen

The ESG theme has taken the capital markets by storm in 2020. Fund flows into this space have been relentless, helping to drive the clean energy sector to fresh highs. In the first half of 2020, 23-new exchange-traded funds were launched under the ESG umbrella. By the end of the Q3, ESG index funds hit $250 billion in value. The ESG umbrella focuses on many different areas and has flourished during the pandemic. With a vaccine on the horizon, the question for investors is whether this sector will remain sustainable.

What is ESG and ESG Investing

The term ESG stands for:

  • Environmental
  • Social
  • Governance

The term brings to mind concepts like climate change, diversity and inclusion, and resource scarcity. While these are forms of ESG, it also covers social practices, including labor and talent management and data security and product safety. It includes employee experience, executive pay, and ethics. There is a wide divide amongst stakeholders on what the term means and how to communicate and manage the concept.

Time to ‘Reset’ Your Investment Portfolio in 2021? / Commodities / Investing 2021

By: MoneyMetals

If global elites have their way, 2021 will be the year of the “Great Reset.”

They believe now, after the coronavirus and lockdown policies have inflicted a heavy toll on the public, is the perfect opportunity to implement their technocratic vision.

Their longstanding plans to transform economies in the name of various “sustainability” and “equity” goals are being aggressively implemented.

World Economic Forum chairman Klaus Schwab vows, "a renewed focus on public health and resilience, net-zero pledges and the arrival of Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics—all but ensure that 2021 will be a new 'Year Zero.'"

Bitcoin Price Collapses almost 20% at the start 2021 / Currencies / Bitcoin

By: Chris_Vermeulen

After an incredible upside price rally that took place throughout the end of 2020, the recent 20% decline in Bitcoin prices, seemingly overnight on January 4th, may have come as a shock to many Bitcoin traders.  The deep low price was reached in early trading overnight on very heavy volume – reaching levels near $27,734.  Compared to the high price level reached just 27 hours earlier, near $34,800, this strong price decline represents a 20% sell off (over -$7040).

Bitcoin Daily Chart

If this is the start of a broader downtrend for Bitcoin, we’ll have to watch the MAGENTA trend level on this Daily Bitcoin chart below for an indication the upward support channel is breached.  This may be a deep pullback in a stronger uptrend still.  But the heavy volume and very deep decline suggest the upside parabolic price trend may have “popped” and Bitcoin may be setting up for a bigger change in trend in early 2021.

Fed Taper Nervous Breakdown / Interest-Rates / Quantitative Easing

By: Michael_Pento

The next time the Fed reduces its bond purchase program the market reaction should be more like a nervous breakdown rather than just a tantrum.

First let’s review a bit of the historical histrionics surrounding the initial Taper Tantrum. Back in September 2012, the Fed’s Quantitative Easing program was running at the level of $85 billion per month. The asset purchase program consisted of both Mortgage-Backed Securities and Treasuries. Then, in December 2012, Fed Chair Ben Bernanke expanded his massive QE 3 scheme by making its duration unlimited. But by May 2013, the time had finally arrived to start discussing the tapering of its asset purchases. And in December of that year Tapering officially began; with QE ending by October 2014. Of course, the Fed would be back in the QE game six years later. But at the time, the overwhelming consensus thinking was that the 100-year economic storm had passed and we would never witness such extraordinary actions by our central bank ever again.

What Will the U.S. Dollar Ring in for 2021? / Currencies / US Dollar

By: P_Radomski_CFA

The fate of the U.S. Dollar will weigh heavily on the future of the precious metals in 2021. At first glance, the USDX’s prospects look rather bleak in the first months of the year, but as the pages of the book turn, the dollar’s likely later ascension could prove rather bearish for gold and the PMs.

Breaking hearts as the USD Index falls in and out of love, the greenback continues to leave bulls at the altar, which is likely to have important implications for the gold market in the following weeks . Dressed to impress, investors lined the cathedral aisles as the USDX looked ready to commit to the 90-level.

But as cold feet turned into a dash for the exit, 2020 ended without a celebration.

However, as we enter 2021 and net-short futures positions (non-commercial traders) remain at their highest level since 2006, the slightest shift in sentiment could have wedding bells ringing again.

Stock market frenzy- Ride the bandwagon but be sure to take along some gold coins / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021

By: Michael_J_Kosares

What is it with billionaires and gold?

When billionaire Sam Zell warned at the end of December that the dollar’s status as the world’s principal reserve currency was in jeopardy, it nudged something in the back of the mind about the number of billionaires over the past year who issued similar warnings. The wealthiest among us, it seems, are also the most vocal and proactive about the dangers they see dead ahead. Meanwhile, the unschooled masses utilize online investment portals from Robinhood to Schwab to dash headlong into the most wildly overvalued stock market in history.

In a recent MarketWatch interview, Charlie Munger, another billionaire and Warren Buffett’s business partner called the current stock market frenzy “the most dramatic thing that’s almost ever happened in the entire world history of finance.” He believes that “we’re in very uncharted waters. Nobody has gotten by with the kind of money printing now for a very extended period without some kind of trouble. We’re very near the edge of playing with fire.” Ray Dalio, who heads up the world’s largest hedge fund (Bridgewater Securities) and another billionaire, believes that the world is likely to change in “shocking ways” over the next five years, including a loss of faith in the U.S. dollar: “Within the next five years you could see a situation in which foreigners who have been lending money to the United States won’t want to.”
