Gold & Silver Wait Their Turn to Ride the Inflationary Wave / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: MoneyMetals
As President Joe Biden pushed massive new spending initiatives in his address before Congress, investors shrugged off rising inflation risk. They pushed the S&P 500 up to a new record close on Thursday.
Gold, meanwhile, continues to be capped under the $1,800 level – at least for the time being. Silver shows a slight weekly gain and trades a little over $26 per ounce.
As trading closes out for the month of April, precious metals bulls will be hoping for a more fruitful May. Although May is typically a quiet month in markets – not known for producing major crashes or price spikes – it can represent a seasonal turning point.
The old adage, “sell in May and go away” is premised on the stock market entering a seasonally weak period that typically lasts through October.

Gold Can’t Wait to Fall – Even Without USDX’s Help / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Gold started its decline without anyone’s assistance. And when the USDX takes off, that downhill tumble can only increase.
The USDX declines and the precious metals sit by idly, twiddling their thumbs. If they had the strength that’s being talked about, they should be soaring by now, or getting ready to. So, what’s their problem?
In the previous days, I discussed the signals coming from the precious metals market or for the precious metals market, as they kept on emerging, and we just received yet another round of indications. And yes, they also confirm the bearish outlook for the following weeks - or a few months.

Stock Market Investor Psychology: Here are 2 Rare Traits Now on Display / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: EWI
Stock market newcomers revel in their ignorance
In the past year, the stock market has been flooded by inexperienced investors.
Here's a May 12, 2020 CNBC headline:
Young investors pile into stocks, seeing 'generational-buying moment' instead of risk
The message of that headline matches up with the sentiment among many investors that the stock market is at the start of a boom -- not near an end.
Yes, financial history shows that the same psychology has been on display before, i.e., the heralding of "The New Economy" in 2000 -- just as stocks were topping. And, if you want to go all the way back to the 1929 top, the proclamation of "A New Era."

Sheffield Peoples Referendum May 6th Local Elections 2021 - Vote for Committee Decision's or Dictatorship / ElectionOracle / Sheffield
By: N_Walayat
The Sheffield's Peoples referendum is on May the 6th when Sheffielders get to decide who runs our city. Break the cycle of a defacto dictatorship, the strong leader model of governance. Where the leader of the council and their 9 hand picked besties form a cabinet and now this small group gets to decide what happens in our city.
Such as the maniac policy right in the midst of a climate emergency decides to fell tens of thousands of Sheffield's street trees that literally prompted the people of Sheffield to stand up and protest under threat of imprisonment against the strong leader dictatorship.
So what does the peoples referendum want to see happen?
Watch the video and find out.

India Covid-19 Apocalypse Heralds Catastrophe for Pakistan & Bangladesh, Covid in Italy August 2019! / Politics / Coronavirus 2021
By: Nadeem_Walayat
India's covid-19 double mutant B.1.617 apocalypse continues with the actual numbers of deaths and infections many times the official numbers of 400,000 infected and 3,500 deaths per day as we witness the collapse of India's healthcare system. that could see the number of total number of deaths exceed 2 million before the end of May. Meanwhile indian politicians live in an alternative universe, making announcements that all indians over the age of 18 now being eligible for the vaccines, despite the fact that most of the vaccination centres have closed due to lack of vaccines which means only 10% of Indians have had 1 dose and 1.5% 2 doses. If those in charge of India had any sense of intelligence then they would be focused on vaccinating the most vulnerable i.e. the over 45's and not opening up vaccinations to all adults! Instead of which Indian's government is primarily focused on peddling misinformation in trying to hide the magnitude of the catastrophe underway which includes instructing twitter to delete tweets critical of their mismanagement of the pandemic.

Why Ryzen PBO Overclock is Better than ALL Core Under Volting - 5950x, 5900x, 5800x, 5600x Despite Benchmarks / Personal_Finance / Computing
By: HGR
Ones overclocking game likely starts with Ryzen Master PBO, soon progresses to auto overclocking and then a deep dive into All core overclock's with under volting where the aim of the game is to maximise the cinebench scores. However, maximising cinebench is NOT the same as maximising real world performance. In this video I demonstrate why PBO is probably the best setting to optimise system performance as per utilising settings that those who designed the processor suggest. Whilst everything else may boost ones cinebench scores but actual real world performance will likely be noticeably worse!

MMT: Medieval Monetary Theory / Economics / Economic Theory
By: The_Gold_Report
Peter Krauth of Gold Resource Investor provides his take on MMT and explains why he believes its effects will drive precious metals and commodities much higher.
Modern Monetary Theory or MMT, as it's better known, is a recurring theme that's not likely to go away. However, there's nothing modern about it, it's not about money (it's about currency), and it's no longer a theory.
We've certainly not heard much about it in mainstream economics or investment publications. But I do think it's gaining traction.
In my view, MMT is a very big deal because of its massive implications to our economic future. And so, I think it's worthwhile having at least a basic understanding of the concept.
In fact, if you're reading this, odds are good you've at least heard of MMT and you may have some idea of what it's about. If that's the case, you probably understand better than most the importance of investing in hard assets that can't be inflated at the whim of central planners.
And right now, the two most undervalued hard assets remain gold and silver.

Last Chance to GET FREE Money Crypto Mining with Your Desktop PC / Personal_Finance / Crypto Mining
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The crypto mania is continuing to offer a short window of opportunity for likely only a few more months as Bitcoin continues to trade well above $50,000 which means virtually anyone with a decent GPU in their desktop PC can make easy money crypto mining in the background, and here's how my desktop PC is actually earning a net $6.50 per day crypto mining in the background, which within 3 weeks earned $136 net of UK electricity costs that resolves to $200 per month, more than enough to cover 5 years of Patreon fees at $3 per month ($180)!
Check out my video if you want FREE money, and yes my eyes rolled when I wrote that, sounds too good to be true. Though I do cover the risks in the video such as that the Bitcoin price WILL CRASH, and mining profits are GPU dependant. Nevertheless crypto mining in the background with Nicehash is generating $6.5 profit per day for me, so do look into crypto mining with your desktop PC whilst it lasts (referral link).

Will Powell Lull Gold Bulls to Sweet Sleep? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The Fed left its monetary policy unchanged. However, the lack of any action amid economic recovery is dovish – good news for gold.On Wednesday (Apr. 28), the FOMC has published its newest statement on monetary policy . The statement wasn’t significantly altered. The main change is that the Fed has noticed the progress on vaccinations and strong policy support, and that, in consequence, the economic outlook has improved.
Previously, the US central bank said that indicators of economic activity and employment “have turned up recently, although the sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic remain weak”, while now these indicators “have strengthened”, while “the sectors most adversely affected by the pandemic remain weak but have shown improvement”. So, the Fed acknowledged the fact that the economy has significantly recovered .

Stock Market Enough Consolidation Already! / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Monica_Kingsley
Stocks are readying another push higher, and not just on the heels of the still accomodative Fed. The Fed won‘t simply remove the punch bowl, let alone discuss removing it, and will keep repeating the transitory inflation mantra ad nauseam. The ingredients are in place for a continued upswing in stocks and commodities.
Look for nominal yields to continue rising, and my hunch is that won‘t be enough to turn the dollar around. We‘re about to experience continuously rising inflation expectations, rising nominal yields, and declining dollar:
(…) When even Larry Summers starts talking the dangers of an inflationary wave, things are really likely getting serious down the road.
(…) we‘re in the decade of precious metals and commodities super bull runs – and these are well underway. The debasement of fiat currencies against real assets is set to continue, and will accelerate given the unprecedented fiscal and monetary support already and ahead – sorry dollar bulls, the greenback declines are resuming – just look at the yen and yields nodding to the metals upswing.

INDIA COVID APOCALYPSE / Politics / Coronavirus 2021
By: N_Walayat
There is no point focusing on India's official covid stats of cases and deaths per day as they under report the extent of the covid apocalypse by several orders of magnitude form at least X2 to as much as X10 i.e. it is highly probable that as many as 25,000 people are dying per DAY! Courtesy of super spreader events such as the Hindu Kum Mala festival and mass election gatherings both of which STILL CONTINUE despite the apocalypse. This illustrates what happens when morons are in charge of the government, which Brit's and Americans will know too well, given the catastrophic early response to the virus during 2020. Though India did have the benefit of hindsight, for they dodged a bullet during 2020, so had TIME, nearly a whole YEAR to prepare themselves for probable second and third waves, instead the Indian government did NOTHING, hence the catastrophe that looks set to continue to worsen for several more weeks. Which means India's actual death toll could easily exceed 1 million and maybe 2 million.

Are Technicals Pointing to New Gold Price Rally? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: MoneyMetals
Although we tend to focus more on the fundamentals here at Money Metals, the technical indicators can offer important insights. Such as right now.
Many traders, investors, and momentum players will closely examine the market trend to determine if and when to enter or exit the market.
A market with a strong technical foundation can launch to dizzying heights, while a market displaying weak technicals will have a tough time putting together any sustainable upside.
The gold market has been primarily range bound for the last two months. The $1700 and $1800 levels have acted as support and resistance. Medium term, though, gold has been in a downtrend since its $2,100 high last August.

US Dollar Index: Subtle Changes, Remarkable Outcomes / Currencies / US Dollar
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Even the smallest moves can be of utmost importance to a number of investors. This time, the USDX was the one to give a subtle nod to the upcoming changes.
In yesterday’s analysis , I wrote about the subtle, yet very important short-term detail that likely indicated a major turnaround in the USD Index. This is huge news for the precious metals investors, as a major turnaround in the USDX (and the subsequent rallies) would be very likely to translate into a severe price slide.

Stock Market Correction Time Window / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Nadeem_Walayat
One of the most common questions I am often asked is when to sell ones stocks i.e. after a surge in stock prices there is a tendency to fear the gains will evaporate as followed soon after the March 2020 lows, where many investors are focused on trying to Sell the Tops with a view to Buying the Bottoms. Apparently this is how most investors tend to approach investing as it crops up in many communications I have with investors i.e. when should one sell their holdings with a view to buying back after a market correction, which is especially true at the present time given the recent rally in stocks to new highs that my trend forecast for 2021 suggests is now converging towards a time window for a correction.

By: EWI
"Our view is that the use of margin to buy stocks is far higher than the NYSE figures indicate"The stock market uptrend has extended for more than 11 years.
Even so, instead of displaying caution, investors have been borrowing to buy stocks like there's no such thing as a bear market.
For example, consider this chart and commentary from the March Elliott Wave Financial Forecast, a monthly publication which provides analysis of major U.S. financial markets:
