The Next Big Move In Gold Will Be Up

The bottom line here is gold is headed much higher and the next big move in gold will be up. People who speculate are betting on a huge drop in gold. That’s what the gold stocks are forecasting. They are forecasting a precipitous decline. - in Kitcomm

The High Oil Prices Are A Tax

The high oil prices are a tax. That tax is going to get higher and higher and higher as more money has to be printed to buy all these bonds because the government isn't collecting enough in taxes to pay for everything it's spending. At some point there will be a limit to how much inflation they will create. - in conway daily sun

Explaining The Business Cycle

”To explain business cycles and how they work, the boom is the problem, the bust is the solution. The boom is like an artificial high, like you take heroin, you shoot up and it makes you feel good, it’s artificial. You want to get healthy, then you have to go to rehab, detox. You go cold turkey, you go though withdrawal. The withdrawal symptoms are very unpleasant, painful but it’s necessary if you want to remove these toxins from your system and become healthy again.

The same thing happens in the business cycle, when you have a central bank, same as the 1920s (cause of great depression), you have monetary policy that is too inflationary and you create an asset bubble, you create mal-investments. And the mal-investments need to be purged. The economy needs to be rebalanced” - in PSC

Don`t Catch Recovery Fever

The Obama Administration is touting recent job growth, and while this is a pleasant story to hear in an era of massive unemployment, it disintegrates when put in context. The 227,000 jobs gained – which merely kept the unemployment rate steady at 8.3 percent – were counterbalanced by a much worse trade deficit tally: 52.4 billion USD, the highest level since just before 2008 crash.

The trade deficit is a real measure of whether our jobs are producing enough wealth to pay for our consumption. If we were adding productive jobs, I would expect the deficit to be shrinking. A look at the data shows that employment increased by only 16% in the primary and secondary sectors, where we need them the most. The majority of new jobs are still inflated sectors like healthcare (26 percent), temp work (20 percent), hospitality (19 percent), and consulting (16 percent), which will disappear as fast as they appeared when the bubble collapses. This is what we saw in finance and real estate when the housing bubble burst in 2008.

Imagine the trade deficit is like a corporate balance sheet. You hire a bunch of new employees for your company, but instead of making bigger profits, you find yourself losing even more money than when you started. Are you going to hold on to those people? - in Europac

The Recovery Is Not Only Going To Falter - It's Going To Evaporate

Gold has been holding steady in the the $1,600-$1,800 band since early October. This could be attributed to consolidation after last summer's historic run up to $1,895, but I think this wait-and-see attitude reflects current market sentiment toward the US dollar.

In fact, the first few days of April have seen a sharp dollar rally and decline in gold. This is rooted in deflated expectations of a third round of Quantitative Easing (QE3) after the most recent Fed Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. Once again, the markets are responding to the headlines while losing sight of the fundamentals.

This is especially peculiar because the Fed did not explicitly take QE3 off the table. In fact, according to the minutes, if the recovery falters or if inflation is too low, the Fed is already prepared to launch QE3. While there is not much chance of low inflation, I'll explain below why the recovery is not only going to falter - it's going to evaporate like the mirage that it is! - in Europac

We Have To Kill This Phony Economy

This whole phony economy the Fed has constructed with cheap money is going to come toppling down. But the reality is we have to kill this phony economy because it’s unsustainable. We need to replace it with a viable one but unfortunately to do that there’s a lot of short-term pain because we’ve got to unwind this bubble, and the Fed doesn’t want that to happen. - in CNBC
