Perched on the Knife's Edge with Jay Taylor

The Gold Report: Jay, what investment themes are you focusing on in your newsletter?

Jay Taylor: I focus a lot on the huge credit deflation that the markets are demanding. Debt has become so large that it cannot be serviced with the amount of income available. The so-called solution requires the creation of more debt money. In a fiat currency system, money is debt.

At some point, total debt levels have to be wound down to levels akin to the normal levels of the past when total debt to GDP in the U.S. ranged between 175% and 225%. Following Lehman Brothers it grew to over 360%! These debt levels simply cannot be repaid from current income steams even with zero interest rates. Those debt levels are leading to tension in the banking system that bodes very well for gold because people are starting to lose confidence in the banking system and in the fiat monetary system itself. As long as credit deflation remains intact, it will be a very bullish environment for gold and gold mining stocks. Continue reading "Perched on the Knife's Edge with Jay Taylor"

The next big thing, drumroll please … Obama Insurance

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Thursday, the 8th of November.

The market voted yesterday on the election results with the biggest one day drop for the year. Did yesterday's market action indicate a major change in direction or was it just a blip in a longer term bull market?

Regardless of the eventual outcome for the major markets, every investor needs some "Obama Insurance". Here is how "Obama Insurance" works:

Let's begin by looking at where we closed last Friday in the major markets and where we are trading now. Bear in mind these markets can change direction pretty quickly and we will really want to watch where we close this Friday (11/9).

Say Goodbye to the Election and Hello to Inflation

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Wednessday, the 7th of November.

The election is over and one half the country is happy and the other half of the country is unhappy. It's time to move on and focus on the markets and what we do best here at MarketClub, catching the big moves in stocks, futures, Forex and the futures markets.

If we continue down the same economic path of the last four years, stimulus after stimulus, inflation is going to come roaring back in a vengeful way. That is going to be a positive for gold and other raw commodities and real estate.

In regards to all the markets, we are going to rely on our winning Trade Triangles as they will show us the path to profits.

Now, let's go to the markets and see what our Trade Triangles are indicating.

Have a great trading day,

Election Day Special

MORNING STARS RISING - CLASSIC BULLISH REVERSAL CANDLESTICK PATTERNS OCCURRING NOW IN GOLD & SILVER RIGHT AT SUPPORT LEVELS NEAR 200DAY MOVING AVERAGES.

Election Day has finally arrived here in the United States of America, so please exercise your civic duty: get out and vote (if you haven’t already) thank you.

Today was largely expected to be uneventful in the Gold and Silver markets as many traders were looking to avoid the event risk inherent upon the outcome of the U.S. Elections, but that has definitely not turned out to be the case.

After Friday’s massive drops of -$40 Gold and -$1.50 in Silver, which happen to be the biggest single-day spikes lower in the last 2 months, both markets blasted higher this morning with Gold putting on nearly +$35 and Silver around +$1.00 higher (intraday) before pulling back off the highs...

Let’s take a look at where the recent consolidation stands from top to bottom: Continue reading "Election Day Special"

Left or right it all comes down to today - Election day in America

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 6th of November.

Yesterday, we invited users to vote on our own poll on who is going to win the 2012 presidential election. The poll  is presently indicating 54% for Romney and 46% Obama, a Romney win.

The poll on our MarketClub.com website currently shows Governor Romney with 50% and President Obama with 50%, a dead heat.

What do you think?

The markets are not indicating one way or another who is going to win the election. The equity markets are trading higher for the week, as is crude oil, gold, and silver, while the dollar remains on the defensive. Continue reading "Left or right it all comes down to today - Election day in America"
