COMMENT: Marty, the goldbugs are like jihadists, they are now proclaiming China will buy all gold and make it $50,000 to $100,000 an ounce. When wrong, just raise the targets to even more insane levels. They really hate your guts and the closer gold comes to making new lows the personal attacks on you escalate. […]

Asian equities lost momentum and saw losses in Shanghai and Hang Seng, and watched the Nikkei give back all of the opening gains. Europe fared no better closing mixed as they waited patiently for the Fed to provide direction. The U.S. market certainly felt it had the direction and momentum it required when we saw […]

Even traditional economists are now waking up to the downside of the euro. The euro was supposed to promote European harmony by eliminating costly currency conversion fees, but the real cost has been this crazy idea that the federalization of Europe would prevent war. As a result, Finland is now seen to be in a perpetual […]

COMMENT: Marty, it is becoming really disgusting. Either they are slandering you for saying commodities were going down as if you were the anti-Christ, or they just outright rob all your work and pretend it is original with dates like October 7th claiming they use Kondratieff Waves that will never yield October 7th as a […]

Wait long enough, and the coin always flips to the other side. The rumors circulating is that the NY Federal Prosecutors are at last looking to file criminal charges against bankers in Royal Bank of Scotland & J.P. Morgan for selling faulty mortgage backed securities that the KNEW were bogus. The cycle has turned. Bankers […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, so many of these goldbugs really hate the dollar and they argue that since Nixon closed the gold window in 1971, the dollar’s strength has been maintained by a U.S. military that has enforced the petroleum-based dollar for world trade. This seems to be way off the mark for it is the US […]

I greatly appreciate all the news clippings quoting goldbugs and how they have been wrong from the 1970s. I was unaware how one of the famous ones sold out at $265 in 1979. Nevertheless, I am not interested in a name calling exercise and anyone who cannot see the truth deserves the losses they endure. […]

All markets opened on a nervous note following Fridays atrocities. In Asia, we saw the Nikkei and Hand Seng both down by more than 1%. This was accompanied by a flight to safety into bonds, gold, and the U.S. dollar. As European markets opened, the mood was still negative, and all indices opened weakly. CAC […]

COMMENT: Marty, if gold cannot rally now, then a turn to new lows will be devastating. What’s left for them to cling to? China reevaluating gold at $100,000? These people are becoming a joke. REPLY: Yes, I suppose if gold closes today below 1087.30, it will warn that it is very weak. Only a daily […]

Although gold made a knee-jerk reaction rally to 1097, at the time of this writing it has fallen back to 1087. We elected one Weekly Bearish at 1084; from the last high, we generated a few more in the 1079 to 1071 area, followed by 1040 and 1026. It is between 1026 and a small […]
