Not so long ago, Europe seemed to have its financial house more-or-less in order. German government spending was actually falling. Industries that had been nationalized in the socialist 70s were being privatized. The European Central Bank – run by sound money advocate Jean-Claude Trichet – was smarter and more cautious than the incoherently rambunctious Bernanke […]

Is Gold About To Get Whacked?
Gold has spent the past couple of weeks steamrolling technical barriers and reviving the spirits of long-suffering gold bugs. But markets don’t move in a straight line. Bull runs (if that’s what this is) have stomach-churning corrections along the way – usually just as everyone concludes that the good times will roll on forever. 321gold’s […]
If History Still Matters, Silver Is Poised For A Huge Move
It’s been a pretty good couple of months for precious metals, but more so for gold than silver. Both are up but gold is up more, and the imbalance that this creates might be one of the major investment themes of the next few years. The gold/silver ratio – that is, how many ounces of […]
Finally, FOMO Arrives For Gold
The past few years have been a feeding frenzy for most major asset classes. Stocks blew through previous highs, as did trophy real estate, fine art, and, most recently, Treasury bonds. A big part of the reason for what came to be called the everything bubble was the sense that with everyone else making easy […]

Will A False Flag Iran War Cause A Financial Crisis?
Just a couple of weeks ago the financial world’s biggest worry was the plunging price of oil. Supply was up, stockpiles were building and speculation was pointing towards $40 a barrel, a price at which the fracking/shale oil “miracle” would evaporate. A trillion dollars of related junk debt would default, taking a big part of […]

Something Huge Just Happened In Europe
Critics of modern monetary policy have been predicting that the day would come when a central bank would cut interest rates (or at least promise to), and the financial markets, instead of throwing a party, would fall. Then it would be game over for easy money. This has yet to happen in the US. Both […]
Gold Tests Resistance – Again. Will The Sixth Time Be The Charm?
Here we go again. After a couple of big trading sessions, gold – for the sixth time in five years – is approaching the $1,350-ish level that has, each previous time, stopped it cold. It looks like fundamentals, including the Fed’s capitulation to choppy stock markets and trade-war related economic uncertainties, are trumping gold’s usual […]

The Fed Dusts Off “Whatever It Takes”
The most consequential words ever spoken by a central banker are, without doubt, ECB chair Mario Draghi’s 2012 promise to “do whatever it takes” to stop the bleeding of the Great Recession and keep the eurozone from spinning apart. Specifically: “Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the […]
A Troubled World Means A Stronger Dollar – For Now
You’d think that the more trouble the US causes around the world, the weaker the dollar would trade. Who, after all, wants to own the currency of the country perceived by most to be the source of today’s long list of trade conflicts and dirty wars? Apparently everyone, in a dynamic that’s been defying logic […]
Slowing Economy, Plunging Stocks Are Forcing The Fed’s Hand
A few short weeks ago, the economy seemed to be growing, the trade war looked winnable and the Mueller Report appeared to take presidential impeachment off the table. And then… The economy hit a rough patch. Auto sales are down and home sales are way down. This morning: Pending home sales fall, marking the 16th-straight […]
