So, this notion that gold is not money, as Ben Bernanke stated in 2011, is a complete f...Read More

Strong words, aren't they? And yet, we are not afraid to put them right in the title. The number of factors (and their importance) that point to a nearby reversal and continuation of the major decline is too significant to believe in the bullish case, even though gold, silver, and mining stocks moved higher in the last few days. We emphasized it many times and we will continue to do so, as it's...Read More
By Keith WeinerA long time ago in a galaxy far, far away we wrote a series of articles arguing that bitcoin is not money and is not sound. Bitcoin was skyrocketing at the time, as we wrote most of them between July 30 and Oct 1 last year.Back in those halcyon days, volatility was deemed to be a feature.

By Avi GilburtIf you've been following my analysis of the S&P 500 through the years, you know that we have called the stock market rather well. In fact, we called for the rally to 2100 in 2015, and then expected a pullback from 2100 to the 1800 region as we came into 2016. However, unlike most others at the time, we expected that pullback would set us up for a 40%+ rally in the overall index bef...Read More
