This is for all you folks out there with retirement accounts in the general stock market. I’ve been warning for many months that the cyclical bull we’ve been in for almost two years is still just a counter trend rally in an ongoing secular bear market. I made that same warning about the last cyclical bull market from `02 to `07. Many people ignored me in November `07 when I said the second leg down in the secular bear had begun. I suspect many people wish they hadn’t. Read more…

It has been my contention all along that the Fed would print until something breaks. Once that break occurs we will enter the next leg down in the secular bear market. This time I don’t expect it to be the credit markets, although we will almost certainly have trouble in the municipal and state bond markets. Some may even default. Read more…

Gold, silver, and related mining shares have been under attack for the past few weeks. This particular correction seems to be dragging on longer and deeper than some have expected. Don’t be scared out of your positions if you have good ones worth holding on to. Investors typically invest for the long-term and rely on solid fundamentals to guide them through stormy weather. The question many are asking right now, “Is the gold and silver market correction over?” In other words, is it safe to go back into the water…. Read more…

The bull market in Gold is in its 12th year (globally it began in 1999) but has yet to exhibit any “bubble-like” conditions.

Lately, we’ve noted the improving sentiment picture for Gold. As a market weakens sentiment will naturally become less bullish. In this case, sentiment has weakened considerably yet Gold is only 6% off its high. Read more…
