Black Monday was in October of …

What’s not to like about the current stock market? Some food for thought for readers as you be the judge on whether taking profit soon is advisable. Worst case I would think an investor should use trailing stops with their current trades. I can still defend reasoning for long term investors to be somewhat cautious versus bullish at present no …

Tags: Armstrong, Gold, guns, Peter Schiff, Republicans, sales, Trump, u.s. mint
Went on my morning run where I listen to various podcasts. I listened to episode 490 of the Peter Schiff podcast today (little behind which probably means I need to go for longer runs, ha).

Silver has been beaten down quite a bit and is due for at least a short term bounce. It was trading in the 14.40’s and now is 14.49 and starting a leg up for now. Silver is leading gold at present.

What does CNBC say about the National Debt milestone? Nothing. It’s as if debts and deficits don’t matter to Wall St. Party on! Special shout out to the …

We are setting up for a disastrous next year for the markets but the markets don’t sense it yet. The stronger dollar will be retaliated by China soon enough and we have been here before. The Fed just doesn’t seem to get it with their 3 more rate hike talk. And those who trade the markets ignore the fact that this …
