October 14, 2018 There has been quite a bit of information and opinion in the news recently regarding the recent downside price action in the US Equities markets. We’ve seen everything from “The sky is falling” to “The markets will rally into the end of the year”. If you’ve been following our research and analysis, you already know what we believe will be the likely outcome and if not – keep reading. There are a number of key components of the global economy that are of interest currently; US Treasuries, Precious Metals, Emerging Markets, the European Union, Trade Issues and Capital Shifts. When one considers the scope of the entire global market environment in terms of these individual issues, a fairly clear picture of what is really happening begins to take shape. Here is our summarized opinion of the current state of the global markets. Capital is shifting (again) as the US Technology and high return sectors come under pressure. What happens, typically, in this type of environment is that capital moves away from risk (into cash or other suitable investments) as these sectors continue to weaken. Capital will return to these sectors once the risk factor diminishes or abates. Once the S&P fell below the 2915 level, a number of Sell Programs generated extensive downside pressure on the markets – in a way, creating a “wash-out low” price rotation fairly early in this move. Investors and capital will return into these sectors over time as they find support and … Continue reading
October 10, 2018 by Egon von Greyerz The end of an empire is a dramatic but also drawn out event with very few willing to face the facts. As the end is getting closer, denial is at its peak. We can probably figure out how it will end but not quite when. Looking at the facts, the beginning of the end is here. The signs are clear. Here we have a country that for the last 27 years has doubled debt every eight years and the trend continues uninhibited. This is a country that for decades has been living above its means by borrowing unlimited amounts. Well, it is not a Banana Republic, nor Argentina or Venezuela but the biggest economy in the world – the soon not so great USA. The US economy is just like Humpty Dumpty, big, fat and unlikely to recover from the coming fall for a very long time. US DEBT HAS INCREASED 58 YEARS IN A ROW The road to perdition normally takes many turns. But not in the case of the US. This has been a straight road to what will be the most spectacular fall in economic history. Since 1960 US debt has increased every single year without fail. There are some who are under the illusion that the debt went down in the 1990s due to surpluses in the Clinton years. But these were fake surpluses and the debt continued to rise also during that period. In 1960 the debt was … Continue reading
We trust that our Canadian friends had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday and now it is time for all investors to focus on these markets and to be in position for some exciting times. While gold and silver continue to struggle it appears that the lows are in place and I believe it is time to look for interesting opportunities in the resource sector. For me, there is only one way to play this ‘game’ by investing in quality junior mining companies and/or long-term stock warrants trading on those companies. If you are not familiar with stock warrants, you can receive The Stock Warrant Handbook for FREE by visiting, http://CommonStockWarrants.com along with more freebies. As well, many investors are finding great opportunities with warrants on the U.S. stocks in other sectors, bio-techs, pharmaceuticals, banking, blank check companies, etc. Remember that only 25% or so of my personal portfolio is in stock warrants, the balance are common shares in the junior mining companies and I am on the hunt for new additions to my portfolio. There are many interesting opportunities in stocks as well as the stock warrants available today, so if you are not a current subscriber, LET’S GET YOU STARTED NOW. The next several years, 2018 – 2020 will see some exciting times in the PM sector and I am looking to make a fortune. Do you want to follow me? Let’s have some fun and make money together.

The Final Gold Bull Market Confirmation Is Very Close By Hubert Moolman We are getting very close to what I believe is the final confirmation of the coming multi-year gold bull market. Although it is very clear that gold is going higher from around these levels, a move pass the $1 375 area would be that final confirmation, based on the update of this previously shown comparison: I have marked two fractals (patterns) 1 to 5, to show how they might be similar. I have also marked the point where interest rates peaked (in 1981), and where they probably bottomed (in 2016). If the comparison with the 1980s pattern is justified, and the current pattern continues in a similar fashion, then gold will continue in a long bear market. However, there are just too many fundamental obstacles to such a scenario (interest rates being one of them), since gold appears to be ready for the next phase of the bull market which started around 2000. A breakout at the top red line (the high at point 5 – $1 375) would almost certainly signal or confirm the bull market. This would be divergence from the 1980s pattern, and likely cause prices to rise really fast once the breakout is confirmed (when dealing with fractals, the biggest price movements occur when two fractals diverge – a breakout at the top red line is a divergence). This, in my opinion, is the most likely outcome. A breakdown at the bottom red line, could mean … Continue reading
A Great Time to Add Leverage To Your Portfolio A big special thanks to our new and long time subscribers. Are we starting to see the light at the end of this long downward spiral? Perhaps. On Friday gold closed at $1205 and silver at $14.77 both up strongly on the day. Even more disastrous than the decline in gold and silver has been the decline in resource shares. I continue to like and share with subscribers this long term monthly chart of the HUI – Golds Bugs Index. The chart basically speaks for its self as we approach the apex of this long term consolidation. I continue to look for the upside breakout in the coming months. The question I always ask is, what are you doing now to prepare for the breakout? For me, there is only one way to play this ‘game’ by investing in quality junior mining companies and/or long-term stock warrants trading on those companies.

Sprott Gold Report: Buying Opportunity as Gold and Silver Shorts Reach Record Levels August 23, 2018 By Shree Kargutkar, Portfolio Manager, Sprott Asset Management LP The Turkish lira has seen its value drop an astonishing 40% since the beginning of the year. The Argentine peso, the Brazilian real and the Russian ruble are the other victims of the emerging markets thrashing that continues to unfold. As investors have fled the emerging markets and sought the safety of the U.S. dollar and U.S. equities, they have continued to increase their short positions in commodities. Most surprisingly, and counterintuitively, bets against precious metals (gold, silver andplatinum) have reached record levels. YUAN-GOLD LINK? The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has kept a close eye on the emerging markets currency carnage. After seeing its yuan decline by more than 8% since April 2018, the PBOC reacted by imposing a stiff 20% reserve requirement on forward currency contracts. With the PBOC making it more difficult to short the yuan, and with the inverse correlation between gold and the yuan sitting at a five-year high, we wonder if traders are using gold as a proxy for shorting the yuan? Other astute investment managers have suggested this dynamic as well. Figure 1: Correlation Between Chinese Yuan and Gold at Five-Year High (2013-2018). Source: Bloomberg.

A big special thanks to our new and long time subscribers. I continue to believe that gold, silver and resource shares are in a bottoming process. Those bottoms might, just might have been reached last week, but no one knows for sure. There are so many interesting opportunities with gold, silver, uranium companies and much more. And let’s not forget the long-term stock warrants trading on those companies. For me, there is only one way to play this ‘game’ by investing in quality junior mining companies and/or long-term stock warrants trading on those companies. If you are not familiar with stock warrants, you can receive The Stock Warrant Handbook for FREE by visiting, http://CommonStockWarrants.com along with more freebies.

HYPERINFLATIONARY GOLD AT $175 BILLION DOLLARS August 2, 2018 by Egon von Greyerz The Sword of Damocles is hanging over the world economy, held only by a single hair of a horse’s tail. With such visible danger, the problem could have been fixed easily by either using a gold chain or even removing the sword altogether. But the elite, and central bankers have had other plans. Instead of replacing the hair with a solid metal chain, the sword is today hanging by a very fragile thread that can break at any time. The global financial system was on the verge of collapse a decade ago. Central banks around the world, led by the Fed injected around $25 trillion in loans and guarantees. Banks like Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America got trillions. (see table below). Today, more than ten years since the Great Financial Crisis started, the debt problem has become uncontrollable. Global debt has doubled since 2006 and together with derivatives and unfunded liabilities risk has grown exponentially. So $100s of trillions increase in debt and liabilities has not bought the world enduring stability but instead weakened the foundations on which the world economy rests to an extent that the next rescue attempt will totally fail. NEW WORLD ORDER GOVERNMENT It is therefore inevitable that the Sword of Damocles will soon drop and cause irreparable damage to the world. We can speculate if central bankers are totally unaware of the risks or if they have a hidden … Continue reading
Resource Investors – Will The Wait Be Worth The Pain? and Some Great Articles “I continue to look for gains of 500%, 1,000% and possibly more within the next 2 years.” I’ve got some great articles for you today (see below) which should get you excited about the opportunities that lie in front of us. Perhaps you have given up on gold and silver? In my opinion, that would be a big mistake as I continue to see big gains on the horizon. I’m not talking about 5% or 10%. I am talking about opportunities that should bring us 1,000s of percent and more. I invest to hit home runs not a few percentage points. True, not all of these speculative investments will reward you and some will be losers which is why you need a basket of these opportunities. The question I always ask is, what are you doing now to prepare for the breakout? Yes, I know the markets are depressed and perhaps you have a right to be depressed, but things change folks and markets can change on a dime from bear to bull. For me, there is only one way to play this resource sector and it is by investing in quality junior mining companies and/or long-term stock warrants trading on those companies. If you are not familiar with stock warrants, you can receive The Stock Warrant Handbook for FREE by visiting, http://CommonStockWarrants.com along with more freebies.
