QUESTION: Marty, there is a email going around claiming among many things that members of Congress, their staffers and their family members do not have to pay back their student loans? ANSWER: Sorry, that is by no means true. The confusion seems to come from the fact that anyone who works for government is exempt to some […]

Yahoo reported that economists deny Trump’s ability to bring jobs back to America from China and other countries. Well, the economists are wrong. All it would take is a repeal of the income tax. Nearly half of the cost of labor is taxation. If you want to create jobs, cut the income taxes. That does not mean […]

The next two months going into September will be both interesting and critical. The NASDAQ Composite made new highs in July, but the S&P500 and the Dow Jones Industrials failed to exceed May highs. The general consensus is that there will be a rate hike in September and another in December, so if we back-off from […]

The French elite are now calling for a German exit from the euro as a solution since the rest of them are heading into Marxist la-la land.

Our computer says that Bill Clinton will not get to dress up for White House Parties — what a shame. He would have been one of the sexier/flirtier First Ladies we’ve had in a long time.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) are developing computer chips to implant in the human brain for the purpose of data collection. President Obama began the BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) in 2013 to begin developing these intrusive devices. They claim the chip will be so small that people will not even notice it. Well, […]

With the exception of the bond sell-off yesterday, the markets behaved reasonably well – even in thin summer trading. This comes after Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Dennis Lockhart’s comments that the Fed is poised to raise rates. Today, we saw a mixed Asian session for equities with both the Nikkei and HSI ending with small gains (+0.45%) whilst the […]

The trading range is defined by our Daily Bearish Reversals at 1080 below and 1109 above. The Energy Models are improving and a closing outside of this range will signal what we are getting into for September.

The lack of understanding with respect to market development is astonishing. The gold promoters desperately continue to argue that demand is somehow rising for physical coins, so somehow the prices are not real.
