By Jordan Roy-Byrne There are very few sellers leftThere were very few sellers left in January 2016 when the devastating "forever bear" was about to end. Six months later and a 150% rebound in the large caps and 200% rise in the juniors (GDXJ) provided sellers an opportunity. They drove the miners and juniors down by 40% to 45% in less than five months. However, both GDX and GDXJ have been able...Read More

Gold has broken the $1300 resistance point. How much higher will it go? We've been at this point several time, however, this could be the one that propels gold much higher. The cycles guys have been saying it for a while. But it might just be a seasonal bounce. The key is if it breaks last year's monthly high of $1350. In other news, debt continues to climb higher around the globe and military ten...Read More
By Dave KranzlerI experienced a real eye-opener this past week. The lease on my fiance's Audi A3 terminates soon. I was scanning the "pre-owned" inventory at the two largest Audi dealers in Denver expecting to see some good deals on 2013/2014 Audi A4's that had come off lease. Instead, I was shocked to see at both dealers a large selection of 2016/2017 A4s with less then 20k miles. Some under 10...Read More

By Michael J. KosaresWith such a solid end to 2017, it prompts the question what we might expect of gold in 2018. The most immediate question is whether or not it will pick up where it left off 2017 and continue its climb into the New Year, or fizzle and spend the year going sideways or worse, down. I have refrained from the perennial turn of the year prediction sweepstakes for a number years, b...Read More
