October 20, 2020 | The Big Cycle That Can Make You Poor … or Rich!
His name was Nikolai Kondratieff. He wrote a 23-page tract called “The Long Waves in Economic Life.” It contained an idea so incendiary, he was sent to the gulag … before being shot by firing squad in September of 1938. Why was Stalin so furious? Because Nikolai predicted communism would fail and be replaced […]

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.” That whimsical saying is attributed to baseball great Yogi Berra. It might make you chuckle, but Yogi was right.

October 4, 2020 | 3 Reasons Why U.S. Cannabis Stocks Get the Green Light
The not-so-good news is that marijuana stocks are snoozing while many other industries are heading higher. But I don’t expect this to last for long.

October 1, 2020 | The 21st Century Is the Century of Gold

September 29, 2020 | Inflation … Deflation … Inflation
One of the results of the Fed’s monetary manipulations is an exacerbation of the cycle of inflation and deflation … or the “Boom-Bust” cycle. While the Fed has been trying to support inflation — supposedly to support economic growth … the COVID-19 crisis is keeping our economy under its thumb. On the other hand, human […]
September 17, 2020 | The Fed Sounds the Starting Gun for Gold
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 […]
September 15, 2020 | Fed ‘Sink Hole’ No. 3
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.

September 3, 2020 | The Uranium Supply/Demand Squeeze Gets Worse
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 […]
September 1, 2020 | The Fed’s ‘Sink Holes’
First it was Minneapolis. Then Atlanta, Portland, Ore. and almost every other major American city. Then, last week, even sleepy Kenosha, Wis. boiled over.

August 20, 2020 | Has Big Money FINALLY Discovered Gold & Miners?
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 […]
August 18, 2020 | Gold, Real Money & the Wizard of Oz
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 […]
August 16, 2020 | The Next Buying Opportunity in Gold?
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.

August 11, 2020 | When the Metals Run, Bet on Silve
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 […]
