Manipulated Markets Can't See the Future

Right now we are all in the unfortunate position of being hostage to the dubious forecasting abilities of the Fed and other Central Bankers, as if they are not proactive in putting in place another round of easing, just about every financial market will plunge. Even though it seems like they've done so much already -- and there is political pressure on them to let up -- once they started down this path then there was no choice but to keep increasing the flow of new currency. This is a big monetary experiment spiraling out of control. There is little doubt that gold will be much higher into the cycle peak scheduled for mid-2013, but there is cause for concern about a hyper-deflationary episode prior to that run up, similar to the Lehman debacle in late 2008. Of course markets will rally right back when the Fed reacts with a huge liquidity push, but once the chaos starts, the damage will   More...

The Best Buying Opportunity of the Last 10 Years

Most investors are aware that the "crowd is always wrong" when it comes to financial markets. With the big peak in gold only 15 months away, the crowd of gold traders and investors are about as wrong now as they ever get.   According to this composite indicator of sentiment in the gold market, there has only been one other time when gold has hit this extreme level of negativity, back at the late December low a few months ago. That sentiment extreme was the direct precursor to a $240 rally in just one month. So not only is the situation right for an explosive rally, it’s an even better set-up than at that low, because now a highly bullish "sentiment divergence" has developed. Negative sentiment is hitting the same extremes as the prior low, but with one crucial difference -- prices are $125 higher. In other words, it’s taking less downward price mo   More...

Gold Peak in June 2013

The next 15 months will be the most intense period of the entire bull market for gold, with the most volatility – and most importantly, the most gains.   During this upcoming cycle gold could go parabolic to the upside, leading to a top in June 2013.  But it won’t be easy to thrive during this period.  It’s going to take clear and objective thinking, and a pre-determined plan to stay off the roller-coaster of emotions that accompany this type of market pattern.   How you position yourself during the next 15 months will determine your financial future for years, and possibly for the rest of your life – provided you make the right moves at the right time.   This type of opportunity only comes along every 11 years, at most. You only get a few of these during your investment lifetime.  So how can I be so confident that a big peak    More...
