Bitcoin Price Remains above $450 / Currencies / Bitcoin
By: Mike_McAra
In short: short speculative positions, target at $153, stop-loss at $515.
Banks are looking into the possibility to come up with their own versions of Blockchain. At the same time, none of these emerging solutions are as tested in real life as Bitcoin itself. So, the Bitcoin network has its advantages, even if you are not a Bitcoin believer. On the Bitcoin Magazine website, we read:

Crude Oil Price Trend Forecast 2016 Implications for Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
At the start of the year the prevailing mood in the oil market was not just one of gloom and doom but of catastrophe as the oil price sunk below $30, skidding by the middle of February to virtually touch $25, a period during which many prominent analysts and investment banks such as Goldman Sachs all of whom were bearish on the prospects for oil prices this year some even suggesting that the oil price could sink to as low as $10 (Standard Chartered) which meant that the oil producers large and small, the frackers and even a string of nations such as Russia, Nigeria and Venezuela were on the fast track towards going bust as their oil profits that financed their state spending budget deficits evaporated.

Could the National Debt Really Grow as High as $31 Trillion by 2023? / Interest-Rates / US Debt
By: Harry_Dent
It just seems like human nature to ruin a good thing.As much as I am a strong proponent of free market capitalism, and against complex regulations and central planning, I understand government’s role in all this.
Capitalism and democracy teamed up in the late 1700s to form the big bang in economics, or what I call “When Harry met Sally.”

The Success of Trump’s Campaign Shouldn’t Come as a Surprise / ElectionOracle / US Presidential Election 2016
By: Rodney_Johnson
Years ago, I gave a speech in Texas for Rick Goodwin, a financial advisor. It was an election year, so he kicked off the meeting by discussing politics. He noted that the word comes from Greek, with “poli” meaning “many,” and “tics” meaning “blood-sucking bugs that are hard to get rid of.” Robin Williams used the same joke.I can’t speak for others, but this is why I believe Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican nominee, even though he repels so many people. He points out what we all know – politicians regularly avoid hard questions, outright lie, and fail to follow through on much of what they promise.

Gold Price Possible $200 Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Bob_Loukas
Gold Rally
In my opinion, gold’s Cycle is setup well for a surprise, $200 Gold rally. Gold has reached an interesting crossroads and based on the Cycle position, some significant volatility lies ahead. The Gold sector is doing well, and has held up after impressive gains. It has seen a couple of weeks of price consolidation, but no serious selling. This points to a strong underlying bid, and is reflective of a bull market.

Stock Market Retracement Rally May be Complete Today / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX Premarket is lower this morning, but there may be some unfinished business to the upside. Due to the length of time that it has taken, I have assigned a higher degree Wave label to this Cycle. This morning it will have taken 129 hours from the April 20 high to possibly its Wave 2 high. A possible target may be 2075.00.

Gold, Silver, Mining Shares: Big Drop Dead Ahead! / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last time I wrote, I pointed to May 19th as being a likely, important bottom in the precious metals complex. It is May 16th in the evening as I write this. If I’m correct, the next three days should prove to be huge down, especially for the miners. Most analysts admit that we are overdue for a correction, but they have no idea how fast and furious it may turn out be.

Stock Market Fooling Them Yet Again.... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
The market loves to fake the masses. With the Dow closing decently below the 50-day exponential moving average on Friday, with the S&P 500 testing it, and with the small caps also closing well below the 50's, it seemed as if the bears had finally seen their time arrive. Most folks believed that today we'd see a big gap down, and run lower all day as the bears finally took control of this stubborn market. The bears also had some nice hope once the futures opened for trading last night.

How Stupid Do You Have To Be, Part 2: 100-Year Bonds / Interest-Rates / Global Debt Crisis 2016
By: John_Rubino
“Of course there are true copper bottomed mistakes, like spelling the word “rabbit” with three m’s, or wearing a black bra under a white blouse, or, to make a more masculine example, starting a land war in Asia.” — John Cleese
We all make mistakes, but some are bigger than others. An example of a serious one that’s both potentially catastrophic and easily avoided is to lend money for long periods during a time of rising debt and financial instability. Who, for instance, would commit capital for 30 years to Italy by buying that country’s long-dated government bonds? “No one” is the sane answer, yet those bonds do find buyers.

Financial Armageddon Looms On The Horizon As The EURO UNION IMPLOSION Nears / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2016
By: I_M_Vronsky
History is testament that an ill-conceived fetus is doomed to a handicapped crippled adulthood. Thusly, many rational pundits perceive the hodge-podge jumbled union of many European nations, known as the Euro Union. But just as oil and water cannot be blended nor melded into a stable liquid, it logically follows that the haphazard mixture of many radically diverse nations are likewise immiscible…and will probably collapse in the not too distant future.

Here's Why the Gold and Silver Futures Market Is Like a Rigged Casino... / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: MoneyMetals
Clint Siegner writes: A respectable number of Americans hold investments in gold and silver in one form or another. Some hold physical bullion, while others opt for indirect ownership via ETFs or other instruments. A very small minority speculate via the futures markets. But we frequently report on the futures markets – why exactly is that?

By: The_Gold_Report
In this bulletin, Adrian Day reviews three companies with strong yields. All three are under some pressure, but equally all are solid companies with very attractive yields.
Ares Capital Corp. (ARCC:NASDAQ) (15.11, 10.1%) is a solid company, the largest of the dividend-paying BDCs. There have been some positive developments in the latest quarter: the Net Asset Value increased, modestly, again; there was improvement in the credit profile of its holdings; and it repurchased $5.5 million of its shares (though earlier in the quarter at lower prices).

Stock Market One Big Inflection Point We Will Look Back On / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
This week will very likely be one we look back on as a big inflection point. We will see that the bears are coming back.
It appears the market is forming a head and shoulders topping pattern. Thre are a couple different ways to trade this pattern depending on the level of skill and aggressiveness.
One can wait for a closing bar below the ‘neckline’ on the time-frame in which you have identified the pattern. By operating on a closing bar basis you significantly reduce the risk of entering on a ‘false’ breakout. Entering prior to the close of the bar increases the risk of becoming part of the wick of a reversal candlestick should it close back above ‘neckline’ support.
