COMMENT: Hello Martin and Friends, I recently found this article about an ancient Indian burial ground found off the coast of Venice, Florida. It’s 7,000 years old. This is another piece of evidence suggesting that rising ocean waters are not a modern phenomenon and a cyclical event like you suggested. Have a nice day, R […]

Mainland China market stood out again today but only because it did not fall as much as other core indices. Shanghai saw its days low just after the opening bell and even looked to trade positive at one stage just ahead of lunch. However, ahead of Italian elections, BREXIT discussions and President Trump’s tariff announcement […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong; The goldbugs are saying that China, Russia, India are “rogue” rising economic powers that are rogue nations.

They also cite […]

We saw a mixed session in Asia which is not so surprising having seen a total reversal of US stocks gains in the final hour of trading. Yesterday’s 300 point gain ended with a 167 point decline proved the uncertainty Asia really didn’t need. The Yen continues to be the harbor of safety gains on […]
