Stan Druckenmiller had an incredible investing performance (a compounded annualized rate of return of 30% - without a single down year - over a 25 year period) which was rooted in his skills in making macroeconomic forecasts. Applying those skills to an analysis of our current & future economic situation he has concluded that America is heading for a disaster. Here's why.

With interest rates being at all-time lows the market is putting an all-time low value on silver. Economic decline is the trigger that will bring a change in the prevailing interest rate trend and it has already started and will soon accelerate, causing a massive spike in the silver price.

Mr. Trump is a presidential candidate unlike anything we have seen in modern times and his desire to jumpstart a currency war and willingness to think creatively may elevate gold’s standing domestically & internationally for decades to come. Let me explain.

Silver is undervalued these days but has shown over time that it can jump up in price with sudden, strong movements. Today’s infographic, which covers silver’s biggest win and loss streaks since 1970, really helps to show the magnitude of this volatility. In fact, silver has gone on 58 such runs where it jumped more than 10% in price in a mere matter of days. Take a look.

Higher gold prices look both reasonable and inevitable. Fifty years ago gold sold for under $40. Gold selling for over $4,000 does not seem unlikely. Depending on the unfolding “insanity” in our political and financial world, $4,000 might be considered quite low in 5 – 10 years.

With the gold to silver ratio over 82 and silver nearing a 21 year low in terms of gold so, regardless of whether or not precious metals fall or raise in the near term, the likelihood that silver will outperform gold is historically very high over the next few years. Here's how to take full advantage.

If you tune in to your favorite popular financial 24hr media channel, it would seem that there only ten companies in the world to talk about but, as the evidence herein shows, they did not make for profitable investments. So much for chasing "hot" stocks!

There is an underlying belief by many that there is a balancing ratio between silver and gold that can, over the long-term, help in evaluating current market prices. Swings and trends in this ratio are one of the many indicators gold buyers and investors use to evaluate their market positions and the right time to buy or to sell.

We are market realists, and the reality is neither gold nor silver are about to launch into the upper reaches of higher prices for the near term but the reasons for such happening are beginning to be more credible so it might occur in the second half of the year.

Our debt today approaches $19 trillion dollars -it was only 10 trillion dollars during the financial crisis of 2008 - yet, once again, main street has fallen into a stupor state incapable of comprehending another financial crisis. Totally ignored is the fact that our real debt is closer to a not-so-normal $166 trillion. Throw in a few hundred trillion of derivative debt, held by our largest financial institutions and the reality is so incomprehensible it has become deniable - despite all the signs another crisis approaches. What are those signs? The time has come to open our eyes to reality and see the signs that clearly mark the path on which we travel to the end of the road.
