In his latest commentary, financial strategist Michael Pento maps out the coming year. Spoiler alert: It ends ugly. Debt Be Damned The U.S. National Debt is about to surge like never before, along with the rest of the entire planet’s gigantic pile of sovereign IOUs. America started with a $23.5 trillion debt before the Wuhan […]
Get Your Gold And Silver Now Before They’re All Gone — Oops, Too Late
Precious metals advocates have been warning for years that the time to load up on a safe haven asset is before it’s needed, because by the time it is obviously needed it won’t be available. That seemed a bit hyperbolic in a world of smoothly functioning markets and apparently infinite horizons of steady growth and […]
Doug Noland: There’s No New Bubble Coming To Save Us
In this week’s Credit Bubble Bulletin, Doug Noland concludes that at long last the world’s governments have run out of new financial bubbles to inflate. The result: This time is different, in a very bad way. Here’s an excerpt from the much longer article, that should be read in its entirety. Please Don’t Completely Destroy… […]
This Is Why You Should Own High-Quality Gold Miners
A long list of companies ranging from cruise ship operators to retailers to airlines to restaurants are on life support. Many others (we’re looking at you, IBM) have spent billions buying back their own stock with borrowed money and now, even if they survive, look ridiculous. Is there anyone left out there with good year-ahead […]

The Pandemic Invades The Developing World
One of the oddities of the coronavirus pandemic has been its apparent preference for rich countries. The reason is thought to be that most developing countries are in warmer climes, and viruses don’t spread as readily in heat and humidity (which is why flu season in the US begins in the Fall and ends in […]
Mike Maloney: Shortage Of Physical Gold and Silver Will Send Prices Much Higher
I was sitting here writing a post about how even though gold and silver prices are down, dealers are facing shortages of one-ounce bullion coins — and how in the past such imbalances have produced bull markets in precious metals. Then this video from Mike Maloney pops up, in which he tells the the story […]
Feeling Adventurous? Consider Silver
Silver is getting crushed in the pandemic-driven flight to safety — which might have created one of those blood-in-the-streets opportunities that contrarian investors dream about. To understand why, lets start with the gold/silver ratio. The relationship between the prices of these two monetary metals tends to fluctuate within a wide band running from 20 to […]
Here Comes The Torrent Of Free Money
Calling the world’s governments unprepared for Covid-19 is to laughably understate the case. They apparently hadn’t even considered the possibility of a pandemic shutting down the global economy, and had zero contingency plans for dealing with either the physical or financial impact. Now they’re making it up as they go along. Among the offers currently […]

Great Times Coming For Gold Mining Stocks
Gold mining can be a terrible business. The metal’s price is volatile. Environmental and political risks are ever-present. And operating costs (especially energy) tend to rise even when gold’s price is falling. The result is a combination of low margins and high risk that causes most miners to consume more wealth than they produce. But […]
Even The Best-Case Scenario Is Pretty Grim
Let’s say President Trump is right about the coronavirus “miraculously” fading away as temperatures rise in the Summer. Will things then go back to the old normal of globalization, free trade and finance-driven “growth”? Almost certainly not, because the psychological damage has already been done. Over the past couple of weeks the modern globalized economy […]

Signs Of A Market Top, Part 2: Investors “Give Up Bargain Hunting,” Pile Into Big Tech
One of the last things to be tossed overboard in the late innings of a bull market is discrimination. Instead of comparing the valuations of different assets and buying relative bargains, investors (known in retrospect as “dumb money”) just pour cash into the things that have been going up. This gives those favored assets one […]
