HoweStreet.com Radio - Marijuana, Uranium

The Edelson Institute - Did you see the announcement from the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) yesterday? Basically, Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his cohorts stabbed daggers through the idea of raising rates anytime soon. This has all sorts of implications. But one thing it does is sound the starting gun for is gold’s next run higher. That’s […]

The Edelson Institute - Why are the markets running around like actors in a “B”-rated horror flick? Because investors know something is lurking out there. Growing. Spreading. This thing is like The Blob … all consuming. I’m talking about the rot behind the walls of the credit markets. You see, before the coronavirus crisis struck, even the lousiest, highest-risk companies were […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Solar a bright light

The Edelson Institute - Last week, I told you about the greatest wealth gap of all time. That was Fed “Sink Hole” No. 1. The second “sink hole” — courtesy of your U.S. Federal Reserve — is (drum roll please) … The Greatest Government Debt of All Time   Enabled by the Fed’s epic money printing binges, the U.S. government went on a series […]

The Edelson Institute - Is gold still a good investment? That’s a question that I get from lots of subscribers. My short answer is “yes.” But I’d like to give you a longer explanation — and an investing idea. First, this has been a wild, rollercoaster year for investing, right? What with the pandemic, the liquidity crisis back in […]

The Edelson Institute - There is a supply/demand squeeze going in uranium right now. The funny thing is, it’s not being reflected in the latest action in the spot market for the energy metal. Why? Maybe some fund is rotating out of uranium to chase bubble-icious Nasdaq stocks. But that’s incredibly short-sighted. I last talked about uranium in July. Since […]

The Edelson Institute - First it was Minneapolis. Then Atlanta, Portland, Ore. and almost every other major American city. Then, last week, even sleepy Kenosha, Wis. boiled over. The unrest spreading across America has multiple drivers. And one is an economic “sink hole” — like the ones I mentioned last week — courtesy of your beloved U.S. Federal Reserve … The […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Crude Oil, Lumber

The Edelson Institute - Last week we saw how the “banksters” (i.e. central banks) do all they can to keep the herd under their spell … creating a world of illusion where a tiny segment of society takes advantage of everyone else by … 1) The booms and busts they create to pad their wallets and … 2) Via our […]

The Edelson Institute - Gold took it on the chin on Wednesday, after the FOMC minutes came out. The Fed seemed to take a yield curve control program off the table, though it re-emphasized that it could “reassess in the future” and that the central bank is ready to act if the economy continues to slow. I think the […]

The Edelson Institute - The Fed’s money-printing presses are running at ludicrous speeds. And what the government doesn’t print, it just borrows on credit and spends. The Federal debt is approaching $27 trillion at ballistic speeds. By 2028, it is projected to rise to $78 trillion! How does any civilization keep going like this for long? As I mentioned […]

The Edelson Institute - What a wild couple of weeks it’s been for gold. First, the yellow metal pushed over its previous all-time high of $1,923, and, on Aug. 7, it clocked an intraday high of $2,089 per ounce. Then gold folded its wings and swan-dived back below $1,900 before finally closing above $1,940. New highs are bullish. Big […]

The Edelson Institute - Last October was the 90th anniversary of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 … which was roughly 90 years after the Panic of 1837 … which was … OK, here I go again. Yeah, there’s a well-known cycle that predicts … you guessed it … financial panics. This cycle was noticed by William Delbert (W.D.) […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Why Oil has been relatively strong

The Edelson Institute - We’re in bull markets for gold and silver, and I like both metals. But if you put a gun to my head, and asked which would outperform, I’d say silver — silver miners even more so. Part of this is history. I’m old enough to have been through multiple precious metals bear markets. Silver wins […]

The Edelson Institute - Since this horrific pandemic started, the oil & gas industry has gotten hammered. Could things be about to turn? I think so. First of all, this year’s swoon in oil and gas is the end of a bearish chapter — part of a longer-term big bear for oil & gas, which has seen about seven […]

The Edelson Institute - Gold and silver both rampaged to record highs on Wednesday. Gold is well over $2,000 an ounce, and silver bolted past $27. Now, many are ready to call the top. To which I say “fat chance!” Gold is going higher, miners are undervalued and silver will lead the way. That doesn’t mean both metals and […]

The Edelson Institute - America is undergoing upheaval. It isn’t just the pandemic and its resulting economic fallout. The nightly news is filled with images of protesters battling police in major cities. These started as protests over police brutality, but anger is reaching the boiling point on other issues as well. President Trump and others worry about “a left-wing […]

The Edelson Institute - Happy weekend! It’s been another wild week for gold. What’s the next move for smart investors? I have a few ideas. First, we should look at some charts. Chart No. 1: The New Bull Market Wall Street is finally, FINALLY waking up to the fact that gold is in a new bull market. Still, the […]

The Edelson Institute - I’ve been pounding the table about how negative real interest rates are firing up gold. The reason is that with bonds yielding so little — and less than zero when you figure in inflation — it makes gold a lot more appealing. And right now, the amount of negative yielding debt in the world is […]

The Edelson Institute - If there’s one thing my late friend and colleague Larry Edelson and I noticed, it’s this: Just about everything in the universe goes around in cycles. Israel’s King Solomon understood this timeless principle: “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: […]

The Edelson Institute - Earlier this year, I showed you how our war cycles are experiencing a major “convergence” for the first time in over fifty years. Here’s another cycle you’ve probably never heard of … The Pandemic Cycle Pandemics tend to break out when the climate turns cold and dry. We’ve seen this to be true with the seasonal flu, […]

HoweStreet.com Radio - Uranium getting a new glow

The Edelson Institute - The folks in Washington are wrestling over the size of another stimulus package — it should be over a trillion dollars, potentially even more. In the short term, more “free money” should drive stocks up. But there are some real reasons to go “uh-oh” on the economy. So, while you ride this rally, be aware […]
