A key provision in Obama Care has been postponed.  Didn’t I tell you even the strongest Obama supporters are worried about the damage this will cause in the economy?  The Obama Administration abruptly postponed the “employer mandate” portion of the health care rollout.  Employers were already cutting hours to 29 from 40 because they didn’t want to be forced to give health care to full time employees.  (more…)

Hard asset expert Tom Cloud has spotted a clear trend with “the lions share” of his 2,000 high net worth clients.  Cloud says, “I had a client the other day who liquidated a several million dollar position in an ETF because he said it’s time to put gold and silver in my hand. . . . People, the wealthier they are, want to get physical gold and silver in their hands.”   Cloud is far from alone in his observation.  Cloud reports, “I was talking to a major wholesaler last week, when the price was going down, and I asked how many orders have you had today?  He said 560.  I asked how many have sold to you?  He said 20.”    (more…)

The Middle East, namely Syria, continues to dominate the news in my world.  It is because the threat of a wider war is increasing and not decreasing.  President Obama met with Russian President Vladimir Putin about Syria and the civil war that has taken the lives of more than 90,000 Syrians.  How did the meeting go?  In a word, bad.  No agreement was reached to end the war, and Russia will not agree to anything that removes the Assad regime.  So, it appears to be “game on” in the war front as the U.S. arms the rebels which are, in effect, al-Qaeda terrorists.

Lots of people are comparing today’s gold market to the 1970’s.  Gold shot up to nearly $200 per ounce and crashed 9 months later to near $100 an ounce.  Of course, gold had an historic rise to $850 per ounce after that wicked pull-back.  Some, such as economist Nouriel Roubini, say “the gold rush is over,” and the seventies are not going to repeat.  (more…)

Analyst-trader Gregory Mannarino says, “The Fed is the sole driver for the market at this time.  They’ve caused an absolute and disconnect in the economy and the market.  When that happens, you know you have a bubble. . . .
