Euro and Yen Make Up 71.2% Of Dollar Index Which Is Why I Am Dollar Bullish
How many times do you hear someone who sells gold and silver be dollar bullish? Probably not very often. But when you look at what the Dollar Index represents, a basket of other currencies, it’s quite easy to be dollar bullish right now.

Read More2012 Predictions For Gold, Silver, Stock Market, Economy and Elections
Recap of 2010 and 2011 While some well known trend forecasters like Gerald Celente were predicting a crash in 2010, I was taking the opposite side saying that “I don’t see it happening as quickly as Celente does.” In September of 2010 I cautioned traders in gold and silver mining stocks to think about taking profit.

And now because of this perception that Greece has somehow solved its problems (and...
Read MoreOn and On – The Fed Keeps On Failing
Whether it’s Bernanke and Geithner, today or Greenspan and Snow of years past, the Fed will always do what they do best, interfere in the markets. But how effective are they? Author’s Note: Seeking Alpha, a financial website, did not allow this article to be posted on their site.

Read MoreThe Lender of Last Resort Isn’t the Fed or ECB, It’s YOU!

Read MoreWhat Happened To Gerald Celente’s Crash Of 2010 Prediction?
Early in 2010, Gerald Celente, a trend forecaster who predicted the crash of 1987 and the panic of 2008, as well as the fall of the Soviet Union, had a prophecy there would be a “Crash of 2010.” I was one of the few people who critiqued his thoughts at the time and wrote about it in Is Gerald Celente Right About the “Crash of 2010?” In that article I made the following points; *...
