Why a Multi-year Bull Market is Ahead for the U.S. Dollar
March 17, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Since last November, 2009 the dollar has climbed steadily against a basket of currencies — most notably against the euro – and based on my analysis, the weight of evidence suggests that we’ve likely seen the bottom in the dollar, with a multi-year bull market ahead. Words: 738 In further edited excerpts from the original article* Byran Rich (www.moneyandmarkets.com) goes on to say: That’s a high level view but how are things shaping up on a shorter term outlook for the buck? Let’s take a look at the four stages of this prospective dollar bull market and the immediate catalysts that... [Read the full story]

Growing Silver Squeeze Means +$100/oz. Price by End of Decade
March 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Right now, with the ratio of silver prices to gold abnormally low, there is a lot of room for silver to move up sharply – which it will when people realize that economic growth and the need for more energy will put the squeeze on silver supplies. Unless the economy slips into deep depression (which we don’t expect) silver prices will shoot much higher over the next five years or so. We would not be surprised to see triple-digit silver before the end of this decade.

Hold On! What’s the Difference Between HOLDRS and ETFs?
February 25, 2010 · Leave a Comment
HOLDRS, an acronym for HOLding Company Depository ReceiptS, are essentially a basket of stocks that cover different market sectors. Buy the appropriate HOLDRS and you get exposure to the desired industry, just like an ETF but with one major difference – HOLDRS cannot add new stocks to their portfolio. www.moneyandmarkets.com; By: Ron Rowland; Words: 732 In further edited excerpts from the original article* Rowland goes on to say: Companies come and go even in the best of times. They get bought and sold, merged, go out of business, etc. No problem for an ETF that tracks an index. The index... [Read the full story]

The ‘Money Industry’ Owns the American Political System
March 18, 2010 · Leave a Comment
The ‘Money Industry’ bought control of America and, as such, bought control of the American political system and, in the process, betrayed America’s trust in them. They are still in control and there is no end in sight. Words: 1611 In further edited excerpts from the original article* by Harvey Rosenfield (www.wallstreetwatch.org), President of the Consumer Education Foundation, he goes on to say: Banking with Credit Card Over the last decade, Wall Street showered Washington with over $1.738 billion in supposed ‘campaign contributions’ and another $3.441 billion on 2,996 officially registered...

This ‘Recovery’ is a Scam
February 26, 2010 · Leave a Comment
Officially, the crisis is over. Everyone says so. Central bankers and Treasury officials have been congratulating themselves. It’s been a year now since the end of the world didn’t happen. These fellows take credit for it. Claptrap! Balderdash! Flimflam! www.dailyreckoning.com; By: Bill Bonner; Words: 669 In further edited excerpts from the original article* Bonner goes on to say: The mainstream economics profession is guilty of dereliction of duty. They should be telling people that this ‘recovery’ is a scam. They should be warning investors that the markets could fall apart any day.... [Read the full story]

Our favourite (and slightly mysterious) long-term technical analyst, Simon, who goes by the name Futures 618, has an excellent track record in predicting broad trends and what he has to say now is as scary as it is important. www.EconomyWatch.com; By: Juan Abdel Nasser; Words: 594 In further edited excerpts from the original article* Nasser goes on to say: A rising wedge pattern now indicates a sucker’s rally for the DOW (Dow Jones Industrial Average of the top 30 companies in the US, or the DJIA), has been confirmed. A break down through the lower limit of the rising wedge pattern has been... [Read the full story]

Gold Bullion: The Best and Safest Investment on Earth
“If you’re holding paper currency, you have to have some kind of trust that the country that issued it is not just going to print its way out of its problems. That’s a real concern right now. Gold, on the other hand, has real intrinsic value, unlike a paper currency which can be debased by its government.” – Sacha Tihanyi,... Read more of this article

Ron Paul: In Gold We Trust – Not U.S. Dollars
A soaring gold price is a vote of “no confidence” in the central bank and the dollar [and]… reflect a growing restlessness with the increasing money supply, our budgetary and trade deficits, our unfunded liabilities, and the inability of Congress and the administration to reign in runaway spending.
