Stock Selloffs Great for Gold / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Zeal_LLC

The stock markets have rocketed higher since Trump’s election win on hopes for big corporate tax cuts.  This extreme rally has left stocks exceedingly overvalued and overbought today.  A major selloff is long overdue and likely imminent.  When stocks inevitably roll over and mean revert lower to rebalance away euphoric sentiment, gold is the main beneficiary.  Gold investment demand soars when stocks materially slide.

Two trading days before the November 2016 presidential election, I published an essay that explored how stock-market action leading into elections really sways their results.  Its conclusion based on long market history was “The stock markets overwhelmingly and conclusively predict Donald Trump will win!”  That was a hardcore contrarian stance before Election Day, when such an upset seemed impossible to most.

These 3 Facts Show Gold Is Set to Surge in 2018 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

By: GoldSilver

Jeff Clark : Crypto and stock prices grabbed most of the investment headlines in 2017. But by the end of 2018, a different asset class is bound to spark investor’s attention.

There are multiple reasons for that, starting with the fact that no trend or bull market lasts forever. But it’s about more than just the prolonged run in equities and runaway prices in cryptos.

How China is Locking Up Critical Resources in the US’s Own Backyard / Politics / China US Conflict

By: Richard_Mills

In the 1800’s the United States under President James Monroe invoked the Monroe Doctrine, which stated that any effort by European nations to control any independent state in North or South America would be viewed as “an unfriendly disposition towards the United States.”

The intent of the Monroe Doctrine was to free the newly independent colonies of Latin America from mostly Spain and Portugal, so that the States could exert its influence undisturbed.

“The Monroe Doctrine, first articulated in 1823 as a means of blocking external interference in the Western Hemisphere, was the central pillar of US policy toward Latin America until Barack Obama’s secretary of State, John Kerry, told a roomful of Latin American diplomats in 2013 that “the era of the Monroe Doctrine is over.”  The statement was part of an effort to rehabilitate the US image in a region long accustomed to seeing the United States as seeking to control it through persuasion when possible, and force when necessary. In a policy paper published last December, Craig Deare, a dean at the US National Defense University and now Mr. Trump’s top Latin America advisor on the National Security Council staff, denounced Kerry’s statement “as a clear invitation to those extra-regional actors looking for opportunities to increase their influence. He specifically mentioned China.” Is Trump resurrecting the Monroe Doctrine? Max Paul Friedman

Stock Market January Rally May Be Taken Out in January / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Brad_Gudgeon

The recurring 20 week low is due within this general time frame. Last seen on August 21, 2017, it generally runs about 100 trading days. For it to sync with the 16 TD low due around Jan 24 it needs to be topping this week. Ideally, the low should hit about January 25th and top out on Friday, January 12.  I’m thinking we could easily be due for about a 100 SPX point pullback taking out the entire January rally from 2673.

Stock futures are struggling. May reverse Today / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Good Morning!

SPX futures are easing away from their morning high at 2776.75. The cash market may be complete at 2767.56. We’ll know at the open.

ZeroHedge reports, “World stocks hit a new all time high on Friday with U.S. equity futures rising for the 8th trading day out of 9 in 2018 - the Dow is just a little over 300 points away from 26,000 - alongside Asian shares while European stocks and oil are little changed. The euro surged to a three-year high as Germany was said to reach a "grand coalition" agreement, heaping more pressure on the dollar before inflation data.

Macroeconomic Outlook for 2018 and Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

Luckily or not, 2017 is behind us. It was a positive year for the gold market, as the yellow market gained more than 12 percent. However, investors are forward-looking, so let’s focus on what the coming months will bring. The next year will be shaped mostly by the following broad economic trends:

1. Global activity is improving.
2. Labor markets are strengthening further.
3. Subdued inflation is finally rising (but moderately).
4. Central banks are slowly reducing their monetary policy stimulus.
5. Interest rates are rising.

Semi Seconductor Stocks Canary Still Chirping, But He’s Gonna Croak in 2018 / Stock-Markets / Tech Stocks

By: Gary_Tanashian

Since January 2013 we have been using the worldwide Semiconductor Equipment industry as a leader within the Semiconductor sector, which is an economic cyclical leader itself. That month we noted a positive move in Equipment bookings, which became a (3 month) trend that spring. This trend was used to project positive economic signals to come.

Through some turbulence in 2014 and 2015 the sector has remained on ‘economic up’ along with our cross reference indicator, the Palladium/Gold ratio right up to the current time as the economic Canary in a Coal Mine has kept on chirping.

Land Rover Discovery Sport Panoramic Sunroof Questions Answered / Personal_Finance / Motoring

By: N_Walayat

Thinking of buying a Land Rover? New or used? Well in this series I cover the real customer experience of what to expect when buying an approved used Land Rover Discovery Sport. In today's video we take a look at the panoramic sunroof, of exactly what to expect and how it functions. Answering questions such as it is transparent when looking from the outside in, and whether the sun roof still has power after the ignition is off, and if so for how long, and apart from the obvious question of what the panoramic sun roof looks like i.e. whether it's worth getting as an option on some trims.

Stock Market Investing 2018 - “I Hope I’m Making a Bad Buy” / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Chad_Champion

Yesterday was a lesson from Barton Biggs on how important it is to “listen to the market crowd.”

Today, we continue learning from his book, Wealth, War & Wisdom. As a reminder, it’s about what happened to stock markets and wealth during World War II.

Biggs calls WW2 “the most excruciating, destructive global disaster in all history.” No one knows if something similar will ever happen again.

The chances are that it will, whether that’s a decade or two hundred years from now.

Will Chinese Dragon Boost or Devour Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018

China may slow down its U.S. debt buying. Will gold rally or plunge, then?

Dragons Love Hoarding Gold and Not Only

Dragons love gold. In Greek mythology, dragons were set by the gods to guard golden treasures. It makes perfect sense, since it would be rather difficult to find better guards. Everybody who watched The Hobbit series knows that this is true – the powerful Smaug hoarded a lot and was really obsessed with his shiny treasure.

S&P 500 Fluctuates As Stock Market May Be Topping, Or Not? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018

By: Paul_Rejczak

Briefly:
Intraday trade: Our Wednesday's intraday trading outlook was bearish. It proved partly accurate, because the S&P 500 lost 0.1% following slightly lower opening of the trading session (-0.2%). The broad stock market fluctuates after its record-setting rally. There have been no confirmed negative signals so far. However, we can see some clear short-term overbought conditions along with an overly bullish investors' sentiment. Therefore, intraday short position is favored again. Stop-loss is at the level of 2,765 and potential profit target is at 2,710 (S&P 500 index).

Our intraday outlook is bearish today. Our short-term outlook is neutral, and our medium-term outlook is neutral:

Intraday outlook (next 24 hours): bearish
Short-term outlook (next 1-2 weeks): neutral
Medium-term outlook (next 1-3 months): neutral

Why Oil Should Be Supported in Weekly Chart / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: ElliottWave-Forecast

Hello fellow traders, in this blog post, we will discuss oil in a more bigger picture.

In the chart below, you can see crude oil futures on the weekly chart.

From the 02/08/2016 low, we can clearly see that the market has a potential 5 swing incomplete bullish sequence. It seems like that it is still in the fifth swing. The weekly target for us is between 68.53-86.82. Please note a 5 swing sequence is different than 5 waves impulse. Overall, we can conclude that we need more upside in oil and we suggest members to buy the instrument in 3-7-11 swings to the upside.

SPECTRE Microprocessor Security Flaw - Big Brother = You / Politics / Intelligence Agencies

By: Raul_I_Meijer

Happy belated new year. Belatedly. Thought I’d sit out a few days, since there wasn’t much news to be expected. And it did pan out that way, other than Trump bogarting the limelight; but then, that isn’t really news either. Anything he says or does triggers the expansive anti-Donald echo chamber into a daily frenzy. And frankly, guys, it’s not just boring, but you’re also continuously providing him with free publicity. At least make him work for some of it.

Then, however, the big microprocessor (chip) security ‘flaw’ was exposed. And that’s sort of interesting, because it concerns the basic architecture of basically every microchip produced in the past 20 years, even well before smartphones. Now, the first thing you have to realize is that we’re not actually talking about a flaw here, but about a feature. We use that line a lot in a half-jokingly version, but in this case it’s very much true. As Bloomberg succinctly put it:

US Dollar Could See Further Declines in Forex Markets / Currencies / US Dollar

By: Submissions

The US Dollar has had a tumultuous period over the last year, as optimism and pessimism have vied for broader control in the foreign exchange markets.  Rallies in the stock market have emerged as the major victor, however, as investors seem to be reading the pro-growth agenda put forward by the Trump administration as a better precursor for improvements in corporate earnings (rather than in the US Dollar itself).

7 Market Forecasts 2018 from the Brightest Financial Minds I Know / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018

By: John_Mauldin

In my fairly upbeat 2018 forecast, I predicted that the US economy and markets will probably hold up well, thanks to tax cuts and deregulation. That’s, of course, assuming the Federal Reserve gets no more hawkish than it already has.

Continuing my series of forecasts, here I’ll look at predictions from some of my most trusted friends and colleagues (subscribe to Thoughts from the Frontline to receive all my forecasts). Some disagree with my own views—and that’s perfectly fine. I want you to see all sides so you can make good decisions for your own family and portfolio.

I’ll let these forecasters speak for themselves in longer quotes than I usually allow, then add my own comments.

He was also a serious student of World War II. His book Wealth, War & Wisdom is about what happened to stock markets and wealth during WW2.

Today is part one of a two-part series on the takeaways from this book.

This is important because it was during a time he calls “the most excruciating, destructive global disaster in all history.”
