Deflation Meet Inflation – But Not Quite Yet For Gold and Silver

Is it just me, but can anyone envision the eventuality of a deflationary crash and the unwinding of much of the credit built up over the last several decades? Basically since Reagan? My last article was a bullish one for the stock market and it has gone up ever since, continually hitting record highs. While gold went up also, it …

Fed Interest Rate Decision Should Give Gold A Continued Pop

With the Fed coming out today giving the markets and gold holders what they want to hear, a .25 decrease in rates, we should see a continuation of gold moving higher for a bit. Maybe a week or so. Markets should follow the Fed’s lead higher too, even tough all this news should be priced into the current market. We’ll …

AUTHOR’s NOTE: I have decided to no longer write for Seeking Alpha because of their lack of professionalism and control of content that goes against what I believe in and have written about in my book, Buy Gold and Silver Safely.

Stock Market Bubble and QE3 Surprise

Bernanke is getting his wishes without doing anything. The stock market is in la la land, moving higher today on false consumer confidence hopes based on a Democratic Convention push that has caused consumers to believe the political rhetoric coming from the convention will magically turn this economy around.

The Banking Crisis is Far From Over

“Failed banks are weighing on FDIC” is the headline in tomorrow’s Wall Street Journal. Banks are being taken over at an alarming rate thus far in 2009. Banks aren’t lending so it is difficult for them to make a profit while at the same time they are trying to resolve their past lending decisions.

As people who are now or soon to owe more than their house is worth decide to bail on home ownership, the bank will be left holding an unwanted, depreciating asset. This is occurring all at a time when banks may be forced to mark to market their assets, showing their real estate holdings value based on today’s depressed prices thus revealing balance sheets that are becoming ever more weaker.
