QUESTION:  Mr Armstrong, is it true that stocks and gold are inversely correlated? ANSWER: No. That is not a correct statement. No relationship is static, other than whatever assets vs. money might be at the moment. Commodities peaked in 1919, bottomed with stocks in 1932, and then rallied into 1937. There are times when gold and […]

QUESTION: Does war boost gold prices? MM ANSWER: No. The only impact that war will have on gold is confined to either prolonged inflation or the uncertainty of the victor — the hedge against government survival. War by itself is a non-event. Gold will rise ONLY when there is uncertainty because the currency of the government will not survive a […]

The one thing that MUST change is the person who holds the power to prosecute. There will never be any justice as long as government retains that power. Why?

Since government prosecutors are part of the bureaucracy, they will never provide the check […]

QUESTION: Marty; CNBC even mentioned your turning point. They called you the “fringe” economist.

Everyone admits you have been the most accurate analyst of all time. So my question is, will governments turn […]

The jobs number came in sharply lower than expected. U.S. employers have not been hiring over the last two months and wages fell in September. With the 2015.75 turning point, we should begin to see declining economic numbers; a closing on the Dow below 15970 today will warn of a retest of the August low. […]

Interestingly, the debt ceiling was kicked down the road to the precise date of the ECM turning point: September 30, 2015 (2015.75). Boehner had to resign; this has turned into a religious event and not just economics. This turning point from the debt perspective is interesting. The 1985.65 turning point produced the G5 and the Plaza Accord. That was […]

QUESTION: Sir; Will the Fed start to print money again if the economy turns down and does this not cause gold to rise? Thank you for your insight in this confusing world of self-interest SH ANSWER: No. The gold promoters constantly tout inflation, stating that the rise in money supply must lead to higher gold prices.

Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. of California has advocated raising taxes for climate change as if paying more taxes could somehow alter the universe. Brown has also been staunchly against parents who protest against forced vaccinations. A reader submitted: “On September 29, one day before the ECM turning point, what was to be a peaceful […]

The peak in real estate may have arrived. At the same time, this reflects the shift away from government bonds. Blackstone Group LP, the largest real estate fund to assemble, has come right on point. Blackstone raised $15.8 billion, creating the largest real estate fund in history. As we have warned, this reflects investment capital shifting into real […]
