The Edelson Institute - We’re heading toward a Wild West shootout between the U.S. dollar and gold. Somebody’s wrong. Somebody’s going to get hurt. And somebody’s going to get rich. I’d rather be in that last group. How about you? Let’s start with the highty-mighty U..S dollar. It has been rangebound since May. But underneath the surface, there’s a […]

How do you preserve wealth? How can you […]

The Edelson Institute - There’s a hostage situation developing right now. You haven’t heard about it on the news. But that’s because the media is chasing the scandal of the week while serious crises bubble, unnoticed, in the background. And one of those crises — a nuclear crisis — is inching toward critical. In this hostage crisis, it’s like […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - US-China tariff war still a major concern

The Edelson Institute - I called a bottom in gold and silver about a month ago. The problem is that miners didn’t listen — they kept going lower. Well, that’s changed.

HoweStreet.com Radio - Gold Stocks under valued performers

The Edelson Institute - We have met the newest “member” of OPEC — and it is one of America’s 50 states. That’s just one of the wild forces pushing the oil markets around. It’s going to make oil prices more volatile … but could also put more profits in your pocket. Here’s the scoop: North Dakota pumped 1.27 million […]

The Edelson Institute - Did President Donald Trump give his economic advisers an order that could smash the value of the U.S. dollar? And send the price of gold soaring? You bet he did, according to a new book by legendary Washington reporter Bob Woodward. In his new book on the Trump White House, Woodward reports that, early in […]

The Edelson Institute - Everyone hates gold miners now. I don’t blame them. After all, gold miners just hit a 52-week low. They have been down so long, they don’t know which way is up. But there’s something about gold miners that is up. Something that should interest a select breed of investors. I’m talking about dividends. Specifically, the forward dividend […]

The Edelson Institute - The guy who is managing your money … what’s he doing in the gold market right now? Because I’ll tell ya — way, way too many money managers are making a one-sided bet that gold will go down. Here’s a chart I snagged off my Bloomberg terminal. You’ll see the price of gold (in orange, […]

The Edelson Institute - There are many words investors might use to describe the current gold market. Most of them are unprintable here. But I have one word that should describe gold investors now. At least, those investors who want to make money. And that word is “audacious.” Be bold! Dare to go where others fear to tread. It […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Low Level US – China Trade Talks

The Edelson Institute - The Bedouins have an old saying that goes: “Once the camel’s nose is in your tent, the rest of the camel can’t be far behind.” Folks, the camel’s nose is in your tent. Maybe you didn’t even know you were camping. But I’m speaking metaphorically. That camel is inflation. His nose is in your tent. […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - China vs. USA, and Tesla

The Edelson Institute - I have nothing against homebuilders per se. I wish them well. But the chart is painting a forbidding picture. If you own them, you might consider exiting or at least hedging those investments. Just look at the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSE: XHB). The babbling heads on CNBC have pounded the table on this one recently, […]

The Edelson Institute - There is a crisis moving toward the oil markets now, like a crocodile hunting a bunch of swimmers at the beach. It barely makes ripple on the surface of the water.

The Edelson Institute - The market hates gold right now. Hates it! I’m OK with that, though. That’s because gold and gold miners are going to pull off a massive rally when you least expect it. Let me show you two reasons why. This shows that short positions in gold are at a record high. That’s according to the […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Trump, Uranium, and Newspapers

The Edelson Institute - The trade war is on. Oh, it’s on like Donkey Kong! And while President Trump is handing out heaping helpings of tariff tough talk to Mexico, Canada and Europe, he’s saved his special ire for China. This could affect your investments a lot. I’ll explain. President Trump just announced another 10% hike on $200 billion […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - What ever happened to the anticipated Gold rally?

The Edelson Institute - Man, I love catching a big move early. And there’s a metal that is just making a turn out of a long, brutal bear market right now. It’s not gold. It’s not platinum. Nope, this metal glows in the dark. It is still moving slowly, like a giant rousing from a deep slumber. Investors who […]

The Edelson Institute - When it comes to gas prices, you can’t blame consumers for not knowing whether they’re coming or going, due to all the geopolitical problems bubbling to the surface. But there IS good news, at least here in the short term, for the 31 million Americans hitting the road this holiday week. And for the rest […]
