Most of the time, it’s impossible to tell the future. But there are exceptions. Right now, there’s no room left to read between the lines. The goals, and outcome, are obvious. America, along with the rest of the world, is going to try and spend its way out of the pandemic crisis. Read More |

02.10.21- Investor Gold Demand Running Though gold has struggled to regain the momentum so far in 2021, silver and platinum are off to solid starts. Silver was up almost 2% in January, and platinum, almost 4%. Gold, though, was down just over 1%. Demand for gold and silver coins for delivery is running red hot exacerbated by tightening supplies and delayed releases of new coinage from sovereign mints. As a result, premiums – the amount investors pay over a coin’s melt value - have begun to move higher. Read More |

One of Harvard’s most beloved and popular professors, for example, was not an economist, but the brilliant (and thus controversial) campus philosopher, Cornel West. Professor West filled Harvard’s auditoriums with hundreds of awe-struck undergrads who marveled at his ability to break down Wittgenstein, Royce, Nietzsche and William James as others might rattle off stats for the Boston Red Sox or Newcastle’s odds in the Premier League.

01.23.21- Gold Stocks' Upleg Intact
Price action in the financial markets is never linear for long. Asset prices perpetually flow and ebb, often chaotically from day to day. That reminds me of Mark Twain's famous quote, "If you don't like the weather... just wait a few minutes." Volatility is a constant companion in the markets, forever toying with traders' emotions. But over longer-term time horizons, this incessant daily noise tends to form tradable trends. Read More |

Since mid-2018, gold has gone from $1160 to $2000 and has done so without the help of weak stock markets. Now the dollar is turning downwards while markets are at highs. Big investors seem to be moving assets into different sectors, and soon we may see a violent rebalancing. Read More |

But UBS Global Wealth Management strategists don't see gold repeating its stellar performance in 2021. Instead, the firm sees other metals- including silver and platinum - outperforming gold during the year ahead. As the economy improves in 2021, industrial demand will support silver and platinum group metal prices, said UBS. The strategists expect silver prices to reach $30 per ounce by the end of the first quarter and eventually level off to $27 per ounce by the end of 2021. Silver is currently trading around $25 per ounce. Read More |

The Federal Reserve quietly announced on December 17, 2020 that it is redefining the M1 and M2 Money Supply Measures (H.6 Release) by shifting the savings deposits component into M1 from M2. M1 is supposed to measure “demand money” – i.e. funds that can be accessed for use without prior notice, primarily checking account funds, including travelers checks and free-floating currency. M2 is M1 plus “term” deposits: savings accounts, CD’s in amounts of less than $100k and retail money market funds. Read More |
