Crude and the Commodity Cycle / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Tony_Caldaro
Over the years we have written many times about the 34-year commodity cycle. Generally commodities rise as a group in a 13-year bull market, which is followed by a 21-year bear market. Each specific commodity has its own particular cycle which generally fits within the broader 34-year commodity cycle.

Merkel Prepares For a Deliberate Crisis While White House Plans For a Disastrous Succession / Politics / War on Terror
By: Jeff_Berwick
Europe is convulsed by Islamic immigration, Brexit and a brutal economic state-of-affairs that are making it difficult for the average European citizen to live anything like a normal life or plan for the future.
Germany is one place where this sort of fear is being aimed at the population on a daily basis. Angela Merkel’s government has just urged Germans to stockpile enough food and water for ten and five days, respectively “in case of an attack or catastrophe.” Germany is also mulling a return to a military draft.

By: Submissions

You shouldn’t let this keep you from oil stocks though; this article explains the three reasons why they make for smart investments.

Precious Metals and Financial Blasphemy, Part 2 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Fiat money does not have any intrinsic value. What value it has depends on public confidence in the currency's issuer. Legal tender is any currency declared legal by a government. Many governments issue a fiat currency and then make it legal tender by setting it as the standard for repaying debt. – “Investopedia”
Hedging against a currency collapse is one of the primary reasons to hold precious metals is physical form.

Suspicious Reversal in Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Gold moved lower early during yesterday's session, but came back up later on and finally gold ended the session only less than $3 lower. Can we view such a reversal as a bullish sign? Not necessarily – a reversal should be confirmed by high volume and yesterday's session wasn't. Consequently, one needs to look at other parts of the precious metals sector for confirmations.

Why is This Hated Stock Market so Resilient? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Sol_Palha
Do not let yourself be tainted with a barren skepticism.Louis Pasteur
The market has resisted all attempts to correct. We know why it is not crashing; this has to do with mass psychology, but what’s preventing it from letting out a significant dose of steam. The table below might hold the answer. We looked at all 30 components of the Dow monthly timelines utilising our indicators, and the results were quite surprising, to say the least. On the monthly charts, each bar represents one month’s worth of data so these are long-term charts, and they usually provide a much clearer picture of what the futures holds as opposed to the shorter term charts.

Stock Market Top - Fasten your Seatbelts! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Ed_Carlson
Last week we asked the question 'Is the Dow headed into the final top at point 23 - or is it engaged in the typical 3-5 wave correction seen most of the time at this point in the pattern?' With last week's new high in the Dow it seems safe to assume that the 3-5 wave correction found between points 21 and 23 in every Three Peaks/Domed House pattern since 1901 (save 4 instances) has been skipped for a 5th time.

If Trump Can’t Pull Off a Victory, Expect a Civil War / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Harry_Dent
Bernie Sanders may have conceded the democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton last month, but that doesn’t mean he’s going anywhere.Which I’ve been saying for months now. Win or lose, both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump will have strong support groups for years to come. Especially when the economy turns south in the months and years ahead!
Days after endorsing Clinton, Sanders came out saying he’ll continue his “Revolution” with at least two new organizations. One called the “Sanders Institute” will push his political agenda… and another named “Our Revolution” will actually help put more progressive candidates into state and local office. He plans to endorse 100 candidates through the 2016 elections alone!

Ceding ICANN and Internet Control to Globalists / Politics / Internet
By: BATR
It does not take a great amount of brain power to comprehend that for the U.S. to surrender the final oversight of ICANN that the internet as it has functioned with relative acceptance of political emancipation is fundamentally at risk to end as we know it. In this campaign cycle of American First Nationalism vs. Internationalist Global Despotism, the stakes are most clear. Where is the public indignation and anger that a cornerstone of most people’s lives is about to be ceded with little or no outrage?

By: Chris_Vermeulen
All traders have found their own mix of technical analysis indicators and price action which they feel provides them with a good feel for when the stock market is oversold and overbought. Let’s face it, as traders, we see the market is a different way and its limitless as to how we can trade each and every situation.
Here I would like to share with you a couple of my tools and tricks for timing short term stock market bottoms. Over the years I have refined my analysis to just a handful of tools and analysis that work consistently for me. I have also learned that I trade and analyze the markets best if I don’t read other people’s opinions and analysis as it has a way of altering my thinking and thus I start to second guess where the market is headed.

“A Date Which Will Live in Infamy:” President Nixon’s Decision to Abandon the Gold Standard / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
Franklin Delano Roosevelt called the Japanese “surprise” attack on the U.S. occupied territory of Hawaii and its naval base Pearl Harbor, “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy.” Similar words should be used for President Nixon’s draconian decision 45 years ago this month that removed America from the last vestiges of the gold standard.
On August 15, 1971 in a televised address to the nation outlining a new economic policy entitled, “The Challenge of Peace,” Nixon instructed the Treasury Department “to take the action necessary to defend the dollar against the speculators.”*

Stock Market Flat Session..... Still NO Blast Off... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: GoldCore
There is really almost nothing to say with this market these days. Lower volatility is keeping things under wrap while the market tries hard to unwind but the problem is the flat market really isn't allowing for too much unwinding. The market is having a lot of trouble blasting out, and the main culprit is likely coming from sentiment, which is getting to very bearish levels in the real world and possibly even in the fed world. To give no respect to increasing froth is a dangerous thing to do. The bulls are feeling invincible, and that can be the kiss of death. That said, the bears keep on letting the bulls stay in the game. Unable to bring price down consistently.
