This US Real Estate Bubble Looks Very Familiar / Housing-Market / US Housing
By: Harry_Dent

So did Jim Stack, a newsletter writer in Whitefish Montana.Now Jim has a Housing Bubble Bellwether Barometer that’s flashing a sell signal after going up 80% last year. All our alarms are going off as well.

US Dollar Will be Key to Gold Sesame / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
Gold may be considered to be a bet against the U.S. dollar. The depreciation of the greenback supported the yellow metal in 2017. The price of gold managed to rise last year in rather unpleasant macroeconomic environment mainly thanks to the weakness of the U.S. dollar. Now, the key question is whether the bearish trend in the greenback will continue or we will see a trend reversal (or actually a continuation of a rebound which started in September)?

How to Check Land Rover Discovery Sport Adblue and Oil Change Service Interval Levels / Personal_Finance / Motoring
By: N_Walayat
It is very, very important for Land Rover Discovery Sport owners to regularly check their Adblue and Oil Change Service interval levels because they don't tend to change in line with what Land Rover states i.e. that an oil service is due every 21,000 miles etc. So checking ensures you are not suddenly caught off guard by a dash warning. Adblue is a mixture that is added to diesel fuel so as to lower emissions and meet EURO6 regulations. You car will have a 13 litre Adblue tank which technically should be consumed at the rate of 1litre per 1000 miles driven.

Stock Market Surge Continues... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
This is just a refresher of the long-term (monthly) chart of the SPX. Wave [3] is 1.5 times Wave [1] and the next level is where Wave [5] is also 1.5 times Wave [1]. The red target was first mentioned by Northman Trader in ZeroHedge two weeks ago. We are a week away from the next lunar eclipse, which is being highlighted by several Cycles Theorists. They are expecting a super blue-blood moon that has not been seen since 1866.

A few words on the Gold Sector / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Gary_Tanashian
As the long-term interest rate Amigo continues upward, the anti-USD ‘inflation trade’ continues onward and more and more gold bug writers emerge from the woodwork, it is time for a little antidote to the inevitable pitches and hype to come.
Everything is playing to script and with this little pullback to a higher low in the miners being resolved in the favored direction, the writer bugs are going to further their bullish message and try to get more reader bugs to follow their guidance. But absolutely nothing has changed.

Bitcoin Market Crashing: Is this the end of Bitcoin or a pause before the next Bull Run? / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Sol_Palha
For greed all nature is too little.Seneca
Whenever the masses fully embrace a market, trouble is usually close at hand, and that's what occurred with bitcoin; the masses were completely enamoured with Bitcoin. The masses were euphoric and were expecting bitcoin to soar to the next galaxy. Wild targets of $100,000 were being issued that sounded more like the ravings of a lunatic than of an expert. In an article published on the 4th of December 2017 we made the following comments:

Tax Cuts Supercharge the Economy / Politics / Taxes
By: BATR
If you get your fake news from the corporatist filtered media, the sky is falling now that the Trump tax cuts are law. Pounded into the skulls of the dense hard heads of diminished grey matter is that the benefits of putting more cash into the pockets of everyday workers is peanuts. The collectivists who operate under communist economic doctrines fear that their normal class warfare rhetoric is hitting a wall of worry from their pro redistribution base. This factor requires telling an even bigger lie. Unleashing the animal spirits of confidence in growing the economy is now a reality, and the defenders of slicing a shrinking pie cannot bear the contrast of a vibrant and expanding economy.

Unlike the U.S. Government, the Gold Market Never Closes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The U.S. government partially closed at midnight on Friday. But the UK deals with a much more serious crisis. Potentially also for gold.
So it happened again. The most powerful country in the world didn’t manage to renew another short-term government funding extension. It’s quite embarrassing, but we all should already get used to it. Since 1976, there have been almost 20 previous occurrences. But the world never collapsed. Why should it, given the character of the government? In the worst case it is a parasitic, mafia-style organization, while in the best scenario it is an inefficient bureaucratic Moloch with the dynamism of a sloth.

Stock Risks to Watch: Choose Your Bear Market Dashboard / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: F_F_Wiley
When long ago a former employer sent me to London to join the other Americans, or mostly Americans, building out its U.K. office, my job was to create a process. In institutional asset management, process was the American way. For sales presentations and especially dealing with investment consultants, you needed process charts that showed information flowing this way and that and, ultimately, morphing through its travels on the page into repeatable investment decisions. Those charts proved your legitimacy as an institutional manager—regardless of whether they described your actual decision making, they let the community know that you weren’t just a “bunch of gunslingers.” Essentially, you couldn’t build a business without your process charts.

Cold Start to the Year as Interest-free Credit Card Competition Stalls / Personal_Finance / Credit Cards & Scoring
By: MoneyFacts
Entering a new year could open new opportunities to pay back debts, so we typically start to see competition heat up in the 0% balance transfer credit card market. However, so far this year these much-anticipated deals have been put on a bit of a back-burner, as there have been very few launches or improvements in the sector. Since the start of January, only two card providers (AA and Barclaycard) have improved or launched interest-free balance transfer offers.

Gold Price on the Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: The_Gold_Report
Since bottoming on December 11, 2017, at $1,242, gold has tacked on nearly $100 to its price. Rudi Fronk and Jim Anthony, cofounders of Seabridge Gold, discuss what they see going on.
Clearly, one reason for the move in gold is the weakness in the U.S. dollar. The black line tracks the U.S. dollar index over the past two months while the gold line tracks the gold price. The dollar hit its recent high exactly when gold reached its low and the two have diverged since then.
