You Didn’t See This Bubble Burst Coming / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Harry_Dent
I keep saying that in the next great crash, everything will get swept up in the onslaught – with virtually no exceptions.And that goes too for what we eat!
The 30-Year Commodity Cycle peaked in mid-2008 and has been the first major bubble to crash and burn.
The CRB (Commodity) Index has been down as low as 67%, with the potential for 74% or lower in the next few years.

Sorry, You Can’t Have Your Gold - Own Physical, Allocated Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
“Sorry, You Can’t Have Your Gold” by Jeff Thomas via InternationalMan.com
In this publication, we warn regularly of the risk involved in storing wealth in banks. They’ve made the removal of your deposits increasingly difficult in addition to colluding with governments to allow them to legally freeze or confiscate your money.
To add insult to injury, they’re creating reporting requirements with regard to the contents of safe deposit boxes and restricting what can be stored in them – again, at risk of confiscation.

Relentless Interest Rate Cuts are a Deterrent to Savers / Personal_Finance / Savings Accounts
By: MoneyFacts
Data from Moneyfacts.co.uk can reveal that rate reductions in the savings market have now outweighed rate rises for eleven consecutive months and that August has officially become the worst month this year for cuts.
In August, Moneyfacts recorded three savings rate rises. Disappointingly, rate reductions over the same period completely outshone this figure, with the number of rate decreases standing at a staggering 388, which translates as around 130 cuts to every rate rise, and some deals fell by as much as 1.30%.

August Record Global Temperatures, Brexit and the Climate Change Catastrophe / Politics / Climate Change
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Another month goes by with another sign that where climate change control measures are concerned it is already too LATE to avert the climate change catastrophe that awaits humanity THIS century. According to NASA August 2016 was the hottest August month on record beating the last record by 0.16c (2014), which puts reality far beyond anything the climate change models of barely a decade ago were forecasting would happen, as we are now experiencing temperatures that weren't meant to materialise for several more decades and not 2016 which is indicative of a run away green house effect in progress.

Gold Boom! End Game Nears As Central Banks Buying Up Gold Mining Companies! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Jeff_Berwick
When you watch mainstream media or listen to central bankers, gold is constantly deemed to be the redheaded stepchild of the investment industry.
Just that alone, is unbelievable, considering that gold has been one of the best performing investments of the 21st century. On December 31st, 1999, gold closed at $290.25. As of today it is trading at $1327.80.

Silver Will Be A Top Performing Asset In The Next Financial Crisis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The much awaited Jackson Hole speech by the Fed Chair Janet Yellen – and the subsequent nonfarm payrolls data failed to ignite the prospects of a rate hike this September of 2016. The market now forecasts only a 21% probability of a rate hike in this month, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. The probability of a rate hike in December of 2016 stands at just above 50%.
Time and again, I have explained why the Fed cannot hike rates in 2016. Contrary many market experts, my view has stood the test of time and has come to fruition. According to my research, the chances of a rate hike in December of 2016 are also very bleak. Nonetheless, the Fed speakers will continue to “jawbone” the dollar, the way they have been doing for the whole year.

The Donald Versus Killary: War or Peace? / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Antonius_Aquinas
Although history does not exactly repeat itself, it does provide parallels and sometimes quite ominous ones. Such is the case with the current U.S. Presidential election and the one which occurred one hundred years earlier.
The dominating question which hung over the 1916 campaign was whether the country would remain neutral in regard to the horrific slaughter which was taking place on the European battlefields in probably the greatest act of mass insanity ever recorded, World War I.

Global Stocks, Bonds Fall Sharply - Gold Consolidates After Two Weeks Of Gains / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: GoldCore
Global stocks and bonds fell the most since the Brexit panic today as recently dormant volatility came back with a vengeance. There are deepening concerns that global central banks’ ultra loose monetary policies have been ineffectual and may indeed be creating asset bubbles in stock, bond and indeed property markets internationally.

Why the Greater Recession Will be Dollar Bearish / Economics / Great Depression II
By: Michael_Pento
The Great Recession of 2008 provided markets with an interesting irony: As the US economy was collapsing under the weight of crumbling home prices, investors curiously flocked to the US dollar under the guise of “The Safety Trade.”
But the truth is that investors weren’t running into the dollar for safety, what they were actually doing was unwinding a carry trade. In a carry trade an investor borrows a depreciating currency that offers a relatively low interest rate and uses those funds to purchase an appreciating currency that offers the potential for higher returns on its sovereign debt and stock market. The trade’s objective is to capture the difference between rates, while also benefitting from the currency that is rising in value against the borrowed (shorted) funds.

The Fed Plans for the Next Crisis / Politics / US Federal Reserve Bank
By: Dr_Ron_Paul
In her recent address at the Jackson Hole monetary policy conference, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen suggested that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates by the end of the year. Markets reacted favorably to Yellen's suggested rate increase. This is surprising, as, except for one small increase last year, the Federal Reserve has not followed through on the numerous suggestions of rate increases that Yellen and other Fed officials have made over the past several years.

Gold, Stock Market Down: Now What? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last I wrote, I was expecting a stock market top early in the week with the late week dropping. We had gone short on Thursday, but late screwy wave action had me pull out to neutral (to my chagrin). I had been looking for a 10 week low within this general time frame and I believe we are there. A move down to challenge the SPX 1994-2100 area would not surprise me on Monday. This should be a great buying area for one more move to new highs by early October at the latest before we see the expected autumn swoon.
