Market Talk

Greece was not the main headline today, to no surprise. Obviously, it’s still all over the media, but the markets had the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) to contend with instead. Not such a shocker at 223k (rate 5.3%) but the revisions (down 60k, putting April 187 and May 254) were mildly interesting.  Also, a point to note […]

Understanding Trading

The most fundamental truth about trading is that your opponent is YOURSELF. The majority must be wrong because they are the fuel that propels the market. The market enters a flash-type crash when the vast majority is LONG and they try to sell but there is no bid. Far too many people demonize trading such as “paper gold”, arguing that it is […]

Can We Help Greece?

A slew of emails have been coming in asking if we would help Greece if they leave the euro.

What We Cannot Say Publicly – Do We Hold Back?

QUESTION: Marty, everyone is starting to say there is a big crash coming now in October. I have attended your conference since the early 1990s. You always say the majority cannot be right. My question is this. Obviously, when I look closely they are not saying what you have been saying. There are differences. Even […]

Time for a Change in Reasoning

I receive a lot of emails questioning how our forecasts can be so correct on everything, from gold and stocks, to politics and the economy. I have stated all along that EVERYTHING is connected. The reason people have been wrong on the metals, inflation, and debt is because they focus only on that one particular sector and […]

Market Talk

Today we are seeing some large price/percentage moves in many markets, which is something we should all start to accept as the new norm for the second half of this year moving forward. Rumours started Sunday of Tspiras’s new proposal and the markets took it all at face value! DAX at best was up 3.5%; ASX closed […]
