Be it Europe or the USA, the drive to eliminate democracy is underway. Politicians are doing their best to prevent the voice of the people to have any impact. This is what sets the stage for revolution. It goes hand in hand for when government tries to simply dictate to the people, eventually the whole […]

QUESTION: Martin, you said in a recent blog: “Gold peaked with the low in the ECM in 2011 and it should rise after 2016 into 2020. This is a matter of the overall business cycle.” Have you now changed your major low in gold forecast from the original before or in Jan 2014 to now in […]

QUESTION:  Martin, Thank you for clearing up all this gold propaganda about backwardation and comex workings that I keep hearing.  I do have one question that some gold bugs keep bringing up. I hear them talk about the DJIA to Gold ratio and how the ratio will go back towards 1 when the gold market […]

QUESTION: Martin, why do you often talk out of both sides of your mouth about Gold?  You might say Gold can go to $12,000 per ounce, but it is headed to $600 first. Isn’t gold in permanent backwardation?  I believe the previous record for Gold backwardation was 3 days near major lows, but aren’t we […]

The NSA has had access to financial transactions in Europe and their abuse of power is being noticed everywhere. The EU has now voted to block the access of the NSA to financial records in Europe. Many people are now looking at Switzerland as a safe harbor not for money, but for data. They are […]

Why people refuse to listen is simply amazing. The hate mail stating that gold is being manipulated implying it would be rising in a bull market is just absurd.

COMMENT:  Martin, Thank you for the laugh over your consoling words of “Cheer-up! We have a front row seat” in your bleak piece entitled, “The Elections for 2014 Are All About Creating a Dictatorship”. Talk about gallows humor! It reminded me of the story of a shopkeeper who had his store front damaged in a […]

France goes out of its way to fight the Business Cycle in every aspect. They are now seeking to enact the Anti-Amazon law, who some have regarded as the destroyer of book stores. It may be true that Amazon and the internet in general is contributing to the change in the economy from eliminating local […]

The European Banking Crisis is getting much worse and the whole structure is crumbling to dust. The banks cannot save themselves. The entire crisis is all about the structural design of the Euro, which the politicians will not address. They failed to create a single national debt and in so doing, the banks then used […]

The French Solution – if it does not make a profit or is dysfunctional, then Nationalize it. The French car-maker is broke once again and France is considering nationalization defying as always the Business Cycle. I was called in by one of the Top 10 French companies in Germany. This is how government should be barred from […]
