Confusion hits the markets as stocks, currencies, and commodities fall sharply across the region as investors fear a stalling Chinese economy and possible currency war despite Beijing’s assurances. We warned that this devaluation was NOT A FLUKE, and far too many people just misrepresent what is truly going on within the world economy so it comes […]

The gold promoters desperately continue to argue that demand is somehow rising for physical coins, so somehow the prices are not real. At the bottom of markets, fresh buying NEVER causes the low — it is short-covering — END OF STORY. As we move into lower prices, mining […]
