QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I really appreciate your comment “– YOU ALWAYS ASSUME YOU ARE WRONG. Why? That forces you to constantly double-check everything four times.” Thank you for causing me to question my assumptions regarding the markets and specifically PM’s.  I can see know that I was holding gold for all the wrong reasons while […]

QUESTION:  Hello Mr. Armstrong, I understand your thoughts on manipulating against a trend, but with gold being halted for the 4th time in 3 months by large sales orders placed during illiquid hours, does there come a time when you can say, “OK, something fishy is going on here.”? Banks have been caught manipulating energy, aluminum and […]

COMMENT: You just wrote in your definition of Hyperinflation “They debased coinage routinely, which is why Jean Baptiste Say (1767-1832)  argued money has never been “tangible” or a store of value. So simply making money out of gold or silver does NOT prevent the very evils the gold promoters attribute to fiat.” Thank you so […]

The Globe and Mail Published Wednesday, Nov. 20 2013, 7:16 AM EST It’s funny to think of someone leaving 24 gold bars in the toilet of a plane. But that $1.2-million (U.S.) in bullion highlights one of India’s big economic irritants.   According to reports today, the bars were found in the lavatories of a […]

In gold we have a Daily Bearish Reversal at 1250 followed by 1206, and 1179. But the next big area after 1206 will be 1088. The 1206 number is also a Weekly Bearish Reversal. At this point, gold has to close ABOVE 12816 on Friday just to stabilize. A weekly closing BELOW 12613 will warn […]

  The Battle Between the Gold and Silver Standards of the 19th Century QUESTION:  Mr. Armstrong, You recently said in your Bitcoin article quoted below:  “This is why they have been waging war on gold”, can you please explain who they are and how one would wage war on gold? ANSWER: The war is not […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Much respect for your work.  Thank you.  Could gold be entering into an extended bear market that could take us past a low in the next couple of years.  I cannot possibly grasp how gold can even be involved in a portfolio with the movement to electronic money. My question is, could […]

QUESTION: Hello Mr. Armstrong, You just wrote, “But rationally looking at this, the seller will actually hurt themselves because they are not achieving the best possible price.” Isn’t that the point, the seller is not attempting to achieve the best price. Your statement acknowledges this is not being done for profit – so then what’s […]

On Wednesday there was once again a sharp price fall in gold causing gold trading  to stop for 20 seconds. Naturally people are calling this manipulation. But is that really the issue? Is it simply the fact that trading stops because of the lack of liquidity. Who is behind the manipulation is of course not […]

QUESTION:  Martin, I really appreciate all the work you do and make accessible to the common man.  Anyway, you keep saying gold will really take off in 2015/2016 which corresponds to a downturn in the ECM.  Since we are now in a downturn until 2014 albeit minor, why is gold going down and not rising […]
