Gold And Silver: Security, And BREXIT / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
We wrote the following article last Tuesday as a consequence of expanding on the key word "security" and what is its impact for most of us. Then BREXIT happened on Friday. Actually, BREXIT is all about security, concern about personal security for those who voted to get out of the elite spider trap called the EU. A few thoughts on that will be added following what was already prepared.
What is one of the most important feelings one can have for him of her self, for one's family? In a word, security. Security that one is safe in their daily existence, from the time they leave home in the morning until the time they return at the end of the day, and all the time in between. Security that their loved ones are always safe. Security that their efforts for making a life for themselves, for the betterment of their family will not be taken away. Security that what one accumulates in the process of life will always be there.

Dow, Euro & Brexit Recap / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
What a day! Some extremely volatile action took place that will live on in the memories of all those that witnessed it.
So, what to make of it all?
Well, this analysis will focus on the Dow and Euro and quite frankly there is nothing out of the ordinary to report which may sound strange. Today did nothing to alter what has been outlined in previous analysis. In fact, it played right into my forecasts which are for the Dow to head down to set up a higher low and the Euro to also head further down a bit more and set up its own higher low.

Resistance Holding Gold Stocks after Brexit / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
What a last 24 hours for markets! At one point Gold was up $100/oz, S&P futures were limit down and the British Pound was down over 8%! The volatility has subsided, perhaps temporarily and Gold settled around $1320/oz with Silver settling below key resistance at $18. The miners predictably gapped up but the strength was sold. As miners remain below 2014 resistance we expect Gold to retest $1300/oz before moving higher.

Brexit Surprise.....Will Others Follow Britain?....Still Nothing Bearish Yet... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
If you looked at the action yesterday one would have thought that Britain staying was a slam dunk. Poll after poll showed a tight race, but all of them had them staying. The market was smelling this out, and, thus, the strong action the market displayed yesterday. Funds were running to the buy button as they were afraid to miss the breakout over 2134 on the S&P 500. The market closed just one percent below that magical level that had the bulls frothing. Breadth was strong yesterday as well. Buying across the board, especially those financial stocks that were bound to explode once the vote for staying in the euro zone was completed. Sadly, and as usual, the masses were wrong. Why this reality occurs over and over again with regards to the stock market is a mystery, but the masses were clearly wrong once again.

Was Brexit a Quid Pro Quo for a Bank Bailout? - Video / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis Bailouts
Minako 64 here home of alternative economics and contrarian views
it's been a very long 24 hours I cover the brexit results all night last night
the markets were all over the place you know depending on the result in one of
the results are coming out and very interesting you know very good in my
opinion that the British people decided to leave the EU the U is an
unaccountable institution in my opinion very undemocratic and bureaucratic and
socialistic so that's good but i do have a few questions that have popped in my
mind over the last few months the first one is the fact that David Cameron before the last general election
last year he said that's a if he won he would call for a referendum on whether

Brexit is Just What the Dr. Ordered / Politics / EU_Referendum
Janet Yellen should send a note of congratulations to Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, the British politicians most responsible for pushing the Brexit campaign to a successful conclusion. While she's at it she should also send them some fruit baskets, flowers, Christmas cards, and a heartfelt "thank you." That's because the successful Brexit vote, and the uncertainty and volatility it has introduced into the global markets, will provide the Federal Reserve with all the cover it could possibly want to hold off on rate increases in the United States without having to make the painful admission that domestic economic weakness remains the primary reason that it will continue to leave rates near zero.

A Tale Of Two Asset Classes: Gold Miners Soar, Banks Crash / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
The following tables illustrate the dilemma of mainstream money management. The vast majority of legitimate financial advisors and portfolio managers are big fans of bank stocks because finance is a crucial, if not dominant, form of economic activity in the modern world. So the big names in the field — Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, etc. — are generally seen as safe places to put client capital.

Gold, Silver And PM Stocks Summer Doldrums Risk / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
Gold’s recent weakness has dampened bullish sentiment, but the entire precious-metals complex has actually enjoyed record early-summer strength. The summer doldrums have always been a vexing time for gold, silver, and the stocks of their miners. Without any recurring seasonal demand surges in June and July, sideways-to-lower drifts are common in this seasonally-weakest time before big autumn rallies.
Traders’ sentiment, their collective greed and fear, drives nearly all short-term price action. Most of the time, sentiment is heavily influenced by expectations. If gold rallies 5% in a month where traders expected 10% gains, disappointment and bearishness will flare. But if gold rallies that same 5% when the outlook was for no gains, traders will grow excited and bullish. Performance versus expectations colors reality.

Insanity Definition on Full Display in US Mortgage Market / Housing-Market / Mortgages
Wells Fargo recently announced a new mortgage product they are calling “A game changer in the industry.” According to the bank, this product is purported to facilitate the dream of homeownership to more people by …wait for it... lowering the down payment and out-of-pocket costs associated with a more conventional mortgage products, while also offering more consumer friendly income and credit guidelines.
This new product that those at Wells Fargo have declared “revolutionary” is called yourFirst MortgageSM and one has to imagine it must have been developed by somebody with a severe case of amnesia and who has recently suffered from a bad concussion.

BrExit: The System Cannot Hold / Politics / EU_Referendum
Well, they did it. A majority of Britons made clear they’re so fed up with David Cameron and everything he says or does, including promoting the EU, that they voted against that EU. They detest Cameron much more than they like Nigel Farage or Boris Johnson. It seems that everyone has underestimated that.
Cameron just announced he’s stepping down. And that points to a very large hole in the ground somewhere in London town. Because going through a list of potential leaders, you get the strong impression there are none left. Not to run the country, and not to negotiate anything with Brussels. Which has a deep leadership -credibility- hole of itself, even though the incumbents are completely blind to that.

Although a number of well-known hedge fund managers such as Kyle Bass and George Soros have publicly stated they believe some kind of a “hard landing” in China is coming, not everyone agrees.
