| The Secret of Wealth Preservation - Jeff Nielson |
| We have a failure to communicate. The vast
majority of the investment public in the Western world has no understanding –
at all – about how to preserve and protect their wealth. Of the minority of the
investment community with some understanding of wealth preservation, almost
invariably it is a flawed understanding.
Understanding wealth preservation begins
with having a detailed and correct understanding of

| Is This The Beginning Of The Next Silver Rush |
| This report is a PAID ADVERTISEMENT from Oilprice.com
Far below the Nevada desert, past ancient mine shafts and rock-strewn caverns, there could be a fortune waiting to be made by one small company.
A fortune in silver.
A mine that inspired the silver rush in the 1880s, that was tapped once more in the 1960s, could again prove a boon to miners using the latest technologies to tap unexplored and unexploited mineral deposits.
It could prove to be a great re-discovery in the history of silver mininMonday, November 30, 2020 |

| Don’t think like a lawyer |
| The job of a judge or juror is to impartially weigh the evidence and arguments put forward by both sides in an effort to determine which side has the stronger case. The job of a lawyer is to argue for one side, regardless of whether that side happens to be right or wrong. As a speculator it is important to think like a judge or a juror, not a lawyer.
Unlike a lawyer, a speculator can change sides ‘mid-stream’ if necessary to keep himself on the side favoured by the current evidence. There is noTuesday, June 23, 2020 |

| When the long-awaited yuan-denominated oil futures launched earlier this year, opinions were split: one camp argued with passion that the days of the petrodollar were numbered, its demise a certainty. The other camp argued with just as much passion the yuan has yet to catch up with the dollar as an international currency, and the Chinese futures had basically as much of a chance as a snowflake in Hell.Now, six months later, opinions remain split, but now the two camps have some facts and figuresTuesday, August 21, 2018 |

| * * *
By Steven Englander

Saturday, March 16, 2018
The U.S. Treasury has been stealthily weakening the dollar. It isn’t clear if it is doing so consciously, but since a weaker dollar suits Treasury leadership, there probably isn’t too much concern. The key is that the Treasury is flooding the market with short-term debt that neither domestic nor foreign investors are very interested in buying. The Federal Reserve is capping the yield on the debt with its promises to raise rates gSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

| Crude Oil – Who Wants the Triangle |
| On Thursday crude oil wavered between small gains and losses, but finished the day only 23 cents above Wednesday closing price. Such small daily changes that we observe recently don’t look too encouraging for oil bulls or for the bears. However, to dispel boredom, we rummaged deeper in the charts and we found something that may interest both sides of the market’s battle. Curious?
Nevertheless, before we get to our little surprise, we would like to draw your attention to news from the IEA. YesterSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

| The
gold miners’ stocks remain deeply out of favor, trading at prices
seen when gold was half or even a quarter of current levels. So
many traders assume this small contrarian sector must be really
struggling fundamentally. But nothing could be farther from the
truth! The major gold miners’ recently-released Q4’17 results prove
they are thriving. Their languishing stock prices are the result of
irrational herd sentiment.

| The egregious errors of static statistics |
| The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. Lord Macaulay wrote this nearly two hundred years ago. His aphorism is particularly apposite of modern politicians, and also of the modern state itself, which is meant to be selfless in the interest of the common good. We can be certain that when a person moves from outside to inside the machinery of the state, he or she changes from representing the people to representing the state.

Since then, the idea of cyclicity doesn’t lead me to drop off, disrupting my sleep cycles. Let’s then dig into the topic.
