Eliminate Trump Unites the Deep State Establishment / Politics / Conspiracy Theory
By: BATR
Any assessment of the Never Trump cabal produces some inescapable conclusions. The War Party is emphatically in control of the military-industrial complex, the Deep State is thoroughly entrenched and manipulates the techno/bureaucracy, and the Shadow Government runs the levers of real and underlying government institutions. The Trump election was a reflection of a populist movement. As the unending condemnation of the President is heard nonstop from a coordinated media script, the uninformed often concludes that all the ills of his administration is a direct result of the man himself.

‘Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, We’re finally on our own’ / Politics / US Politics
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Neil Young pinned those lyrics to his song, ‘Ohio’. The tin soldiers were the National Guard and Nixon was the President. The song was about the Guard’s execution of four students at Kent State in 1970. But today, these lyrics seem truer than ever. Governments for the governed have turned on the governed. Governments conduct the business of governed in secrecy for the benefit of the government. Governments initiate acts of aggression against other peoples who have no representation in their government. The media is a propaganda arm of the government. The governed have no idea what is really happening. How do we ‘know’ anything today? In a vacuum of leadership, it does feel like ‘we are finally on our own.’

Why the Fed is Worse for the Market than Trade Tariffs / Interest-Rates / US Federal Reserve Bank
By: Rodney_Johnson
“Always tell the truth.”In addition to being number eight on the Top 10 list of things we should always do, being truthful is just a great way to avoid trouble in life.
You never have to remember what lie you told to whom, and you never have to make up more lies to cover those you’ve already put out into the universe.
But we don’t.
I don’t know a single person who is completely honest. And this goes way beyond, “Do these clothes make me look fat?”

A Good Time to Buy Facebook? / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Rodney_Johnson
As I watch Mark Zuckerberg testify in Congress today, I’m reminded of theEconomy & Markets article I wrote on the subject two weeks ago. At the time, shares of Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) were dropping fast.Since then, we’ve had plenty of ink spilled on the subject of data privacy and the role of Facebook in keeping our information under wraps. None of it has changed my view. There’s a reason our data, which we freely post in many places, bounces around the internet like a pinball.

Watch These S&P Numbers For Clues… / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Harry_Dent
On Tuesday, Rodney talked to his Triple Play Strategy subscribers about the extreme volatility we’re experiencing in the markets. He asked the question: “So, how are you feeling?” as he observed that investors are looking increasingly tired from the extreme drops and bounces we’ve endured the least few weeks. He concluded that the situation isn’t looking good and he’s admittedly turned bearish.I may be with Rodney on that.

Or the one from CNBC on Wednesday about how mortgage application volume was 5.5% lower last week, from one year ago?

THE Financial Crisis Acronym of 2008 is Sounding Another Alarm / Interest-Rates / Financial Crisis 2018
By: Michael_Pento
LIBOR, or the London Interbank Offered Rate, was the most important acronym most investors never heard of before 2008. However, it quickly became the most critical variable in markets leading up to the Great Recession.
What has now become clear is that we haven’t learned any lessons from the financial crisis except how to accumulate more debt and to artificially control markets more extensively. And, to conveniently try to sweep under the rug the very same warning signs that forebode the day of reckoning just over a decade ago.

WINTER IS COMING - The Ongoing Fourth Turning Crisis / Politics / Social Issues
By: James_Quinn
“Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well.” – George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones
“Reflect on what happens when a terrible winter blizzard strikes. You hear the weather warning but probably fail to act on it. The sky darkens. Then the storm hits with full fury, and the air is a howling whiteness. One by one, your links to the machine age break down. Electricity flickers out, cutting off the TV. Batteries fade, cutting off the radio. Phones go dead. Roads become impassible, and cars get stuck. Food supplies dwindle. Day to day vestiges of modern civilization – bank machines, mutual funds, mass retailers, computers, satellites, airplanes, governments – all recede into irrelevance.

Bombs, Missiles and War – What to Expect Next from the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Friday night opened up a whole new perspective on the global markets with the coordinated targeted attack on Syria. It’s not that we didn’t know this was a possibility, yet the event itself changes how the markets may react on Monday and throughout this next week. Our researchers at Technical Traders Ltd. have been diligently trying to identify the price rotations that will occur early next week and we believe this research post will help to prepare all investors for what may be a wild ride.
First off, with this event playing out late Friday night and early into Saturday, there are a number of things we have to consider. The US Dollar may be under some pressure this week as a result of this event. Gold and Silver may rally as fear and panic enter the markets. Oil will likely rise on fear of a disruption or conflict related supply issue. The US stock market will likely rotate with a bit with continued large price volatility early Monday morning as traders attempt to reposition after this event. Given all of this, the long-term perspective has to be maintained in order to understand the true market dynamics.

Only Economic Collapse Will Bring Down the American Empire / Politics / US Military
By: Antonius_Aquinas
Despite the vehement pleas and letter-writing campaigns by a significant portion of his political base including notable media personalities such as Tucker Carlson against military action in Syria, President Trump committed what looks like political suicide by ordering air strikes on Friday evening. The bombing, thankfully, appeared to have been thwarted by Syrian air defenses, nor, as of this date, has the insane American, British and French action led to a wider conflagration.

Stock Market Futures Bounce, But Stopped at Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures bounced back but appear to be stopped at the 2-year trendline at 2675..00-2680.00 without making a new high. The Cycles Model suggests there may be some residual strength throughout the week during which options expiration may take precedence. OpEx has the ability to increase turmoil in the markets. As a result, this period may be protected by the powers that be.
Once Wave (3) begins, it should be unstoppable. However, there may be an effort to delay its onset.

Junior Mining Stocks are Close to Breaking Downtrend / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2018
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
A few weeks ago we wrote that it may not be Gold’s time yet but a few recent developments suggest its time could be sooner than we anticipated. Although Gold failed to breakout last week, we should note the positive action in the miners. Over the past seven trading days the miners have strongly outperformed Gold. That includes the juniors, which appear very close to breaking out of the downtrend that has been in effect for over 12 months.

Time for the Gold Bulls to Show their Mettle / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2018
By: Rambus_Chartology
For the last three months gold had been chopping out a rectangle trading range which has completed four reversal points so far. Wednesday of this week it looked like gold may breakout above the top rail but the bears stopped the advance just when it looked like the bulls were finally going to win.
Many times before a rectangle is finished building out there can be one last move back down to the center of the rectangle where support is found. If the bulls are truly in charge they could take this oppurtunity to rally gold up and through the top rail to complete the rectangle as a halfway pattern. If the bulls can muster up enough energy to take out the top rail the rectangle would have a price objective up to the 1445 area as shown by the blue arrows. At this point there is no way to know if we’ll see another reversal all the way back down to the bottom of the rectangle which would complete the 5th reversal point. It’s still a consolidation pattern at this time.
