Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past / Politics / Palestine
By: Nadeem_Walayat
"Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past" - George Orwell
In a heated comments section a Patron recently commented, "what have the Arabs ever invented!"
Good luck with anything that resembles the modern world without Alchemy, Algebra, and of course Algorithms and much more during Islam's 400 year golden age, of course they built on what came before, devouring Greek texts that Christian Europe was busy burning as heretical texts, mathematics including the 0-9 numeric system that originates from India which we all take for granted that would take some 500 years to be eventually adopted by Europe, without any of this there would have been no Renaissance and Enlightenment instead we would all be out working the fields today on X_VI_MMXXIV whilst probably the United States of New Arabia would now be calling the shots on the world stage, what happened? The Mongol's is what happened! The mother of all Black Swans that changed the course of history,

Gold After Trump Wins / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has sure had a wild ride in the several weeks since the US elections! It first plunged then surged after Trump’s decisive victory, which surprised legions of traders. Gold’s earlier big down days helped fuel fears another Trump administration is bearish for gold. Its poor performance after Trump’s first win eight years ago buttresses that case. But that’s probably not predictive in today’s wildly-different environment.
On Election Day 2024, gold closed at $2,743. That was just 1.5% under its latest nominal record high achieved four trading days earlier. But the next day when Trump’s big win was already apparent, gold plunged 3.0%. That was its worst day by far since a 3.6% plummeting in early June on a huge US-jobs upside surprise, which in turn was gold’s biggest daily loss in 3.6 years. Then more post-election selling came.

Bitcoin Gravy Train Trend Forecast to June 2025 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Nadeem_Walayat
President Donald Trump's win Pumps the markets, Bitcoin, Crypto's and stocks to the moon. Bitcoin pumps to $99k whilst Alt coins literally go nuts and not just the big markets such as Solana that has 10xd, but even once taken for dead coins such as ADA have 4xd over a few short weeks. And then we have the no brainier trade of the year Microstrategy, which back in January was trading at just $44 that durng the past week rocketed higher to $548, that's more than a 10X move!
All of which my Patrons had OVER a YEAR to plan towards capitalising upon, so whilst the Crypto Gravy train has been rolling for over a year we have a lot further left to run as my following in-depth analysis laid the ground work for that was first made available to Patrons for just $7 bucks! 10X for just $7 bucks! This is ridiculous I am way under selling myself as those who follow me soon find out!
Just $7 bucks for immediate first access to ALL of my analysis and trend forecasts.

Stock Market Sentiment Speaks: This Is My Strong Warning To You / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2024
By: Avi_Gilburt
As the market has now struck the upper end of my long-term target set many years ago, it seems many have embraced this bull market, to the extent that they see no reason for it to end. However, that is usually the time one has to pay attention for the potential for it to come an end.
The last 25 years have only reinforced the common perspective that the market “always comes back.” Whether we are speaking about the manner in which investors have been trained in a Pavlovian fashion to believe in the omnipotent power of the Fed or whether we are speaking about the manner in which the market has always come back stronger after each larger drop seen over the last 25 years, there is one thing that has become a certainty in the market: Buy and hold is the ONLY way to go.

Dubai Deluge - AI Tech Stocks Earnings Correction Opportunities / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2024
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Dear Reader
President Donald Trump Win Pumps the markets, Bitcoin, Crypto's and stocks higher, most missed the Trump win due to MSM propaganda and echo chambers, of course after the fact it was obvious to everyone that Trump would win, yeah sure it was, the trick is to say and act on it BEFORE the event not a week AFTER it happens! One can't place bets on Trump to win AFTER it's happened!
Donald Pump winning has been my consistent view ALL YEAR, where I iterated why Kamala Harris taking over from lost all of his marbles Biden was not going to make any difference to the outcome in fact regardless of the polls that consistently gave Harris a lead the exact opposite would be true, the election result was not even going to be close, a landslide win for Trump was incoming that would pump the markets, send crypto assets and stocks including Tesla to the moon so that is where the big bets should be.

South Africa’s welfare system is navigating turbulent political and economic waters following the May 2024 general election. For the first time since the end of apartheid, the African National Congress (ANC) lost its parliamentary majority, forcing it into a coalition with the Democratic Alliance (DA) in a Government of National Unity (GNU). This seismic shift in South African politics is significant for both governance and welfare, as key social programs such as the social grant system remain vital to millions of citizens.Read full article...

Trump or Harris - Who Wins US Presidential Election 2024 Forecast Prediction / Politics / US Presidential Election
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The brainwashed masses think that Donald Pump or Karamal Parris will win and save America! Despite every President in history never delivering on what they promised, all that they will do is PRINT MORE MONEY and leave office a lot richer than they were before taking office.
My view that President Pump will win has stayed constant all year regardless of what the opinion polls have stated as they whipsawed between giving Parris a Lead over Pump. Latest polls continue to give Harris a coin flip lead over Trump after taking over from lost all of his marbles Biden.

Gold Stocks’ Winter Rally 2024 / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks 2024
By: Zeal_LLC
The gold miners’ stocks are heading into their winter rally, when strong seasonal tailwinds help boost their advances. This is especially pronounced when gold stocks’ primary drivers of sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals are bullish, which is certainly true today. This sector is nearing a psychological tipping point of surging popularity, making secular breakouts, and earning record profits fueled by these record gold prices.
Seasonality is the tendency for prices to exhibit recurring patterns at certain times during the calendar year. While seasonality doesn’t drive price action, it quantifies annually-repeating behaviors driven by sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals. We humans are creatures of habit and herd, which naturally colors our trading decisions. The calendar year’s passage affects the timing and intensity of buying and selling.
