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 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. 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 […]

This recording medium allowed one to code the notes to a song on a cylinder, and music would play as the cylinder revolved. This was the forerunner to punch cards used in early computers to input data and run a […]

We received a lot of e-mails regarding the collapse in diamond prices, which is closely correlating with gold without bank manipulations. This is part of the deflationary trend and the 2011 high was on target for the reaction high. The 37-year target could produce a cycle inversion with a high instead of a low. That would line […]

The diamond market has never been close to the insane levels reached during the investment boom, which peaked in 1980. Diamonds entered a 37-year bear market, which often follows such a major Phase Transition. This warns that we could still see the final major low unfold in 2016 on an annual closing basis, and 2017 […]
