Gold Stashed in Airplane Toilets

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 […]

Gold The Market Update

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 […]

Gold to be or Not to be

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.

Gold & the 1974 Memo

QUESTION: Hi Martin, Thank you for your valued forecasting and the clarity that you add to deciphering the cyclical nature of those things which govern our world.

Gold the Real Breakout

QUESTION: Martin Did you imply that a gold bull market really only begins when gold exceeds its 1980 high adjusted for inflation? That would imply that eventually gold outperforms inflation which I do not think it does. Adjusting for currencies and inflation gold would need to about double from here to reach that level. If it […]
