What Happens to Gold and Silver When the Stock Market Crashes |
Many investors hold gold and silver to hedge against various crises. But does this hedge hold up during stock market crashes?It’s a common assumption that gold and silver prices will fall right along with the market. And if that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better to wait to buy them until after the dust settles?Before formulating a strategy, let’s first look at price data from past stock market crashes…The Message from HistoryI looked at past stock market crashes and measMonday, January 25, 2021 |

Financial crisis dynamics, the ‘shadow’ gold demand, and Mene |
The study of financial crises is as old as the economics discipline itself. One of the most prominent theorists of financial crises ever to hold a senior Federal Reserve policy position was John Exter, vice-president of the New York Federal Reserve during the 1950s. Several years ago I co-wrote a series of essays on Exter’s theories together with his sonin- law, Barry Downs. In this paper, building on Exter’s work, including his eponymous ‘pyramid’, I introduce a new ‘hourglass’ framework for unSaturday, November 14, 2020 |

The Gold Standard Did not Cause the Great Depression |
Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics 19, no. 1 (Spring 2016): 101–111[The Midas Paradox: Financial Markets, Government Policy Shocks, and the Great Depression by Scott Sumner]The Midas Paradox is an impressive piece of scholarship, representing the magnum opus of economist Scott Sumner. What makes the book so unique is Sumner’s use of real-time financial data and press accounts in order to explain not just broad issues—such as, “What caused the Great Depression?”—but to offer commentary on thThursday, November 12, 2020 |

October 29, 1929 - Remembering the Anniversary of Black Tuesday |
"The truly savage and frenetic part of New York, the terrible, cold, cruel part, is Wall Street.
Rivers of gold flow there from all over the earth, and death comes with it. There, as nowhere else, you feel a total absence of the spirit: herds of men who cannot count past three, herds more who cannot get past six, scorn for pure science and demoniacal respect for the present.
And the terrible thing is that the crowd that fills this street believes that the world will always be the same, that iSunday, November 1, 2020 |

August 15, 1971: Inflation Unleashed |
The general public, the media and most financial observers were largely unaware of the momentous event that took place on August 15, 1971. However, the implications of that event have had an enormous impact on global financial conditions ever since. On that date, US President Richard Nixon “closed the gold window”. In essence, this meant the US would no longer honour the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944, whichSaturday, August 15, 2020 |

Why bad economic theories remain popular |
Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, the most prominent “Austrian” economists of the time, anticipated the 1929 stock market crash and correctly predicted the dire consequences of government attempts to artificially stimulate economic growth in the aftermath of the crash. John Maynard Keynes, on the other hand, was totally blindsided by the stock market crash and the economic disaster of the early 1930s. And yet, Keynes’s theories gained enormous popularity during the 1930s whereas the work of Tuesday, April 28, 2020 |

Which Precious Metals Are Likely To Be Better Investments During The Next Market Crash |
The question on the minds of many investors, is which of the precious metals will be better investments during the next market crash?

So, I decided to test the price action of several metals and how each traded during a large market correction.This article will focus on the top four precious metals, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Even though Rhodium and other metals are considered precious, the ones listed abovWednesday, September 19, 2018 |

Why the Next Market Crash Will Not Take Gold Down |
Rudi Fronk and Jim Anthony, founders of Seabridge Gold, discuss what they believe will happen to gold if there is another financial crisis.
The global financial crisis of 2008 was essentially caused by excessive leverage, a loss of confidence in real estate credit and a resulting sudden collapse of liquidity in the financial system. The central bank response was to lower interest rates and flood markets with liquidity. Since then, debt loads have increasWednesday, September 19, 2018 |

Is the Economic Summer Coming |
Cycles, cycles everywhere. We’ve already discussed the current state of the U.S. business cycle, arguing that the expansion should last for a while, although it is more advanced than in Europe. However, business cycles aren’t the only creatures living in an economic zoo. They are simply the most popular within the modern macroeconomics. The post-war business cycles lasted, on average, almost 6 years. But economists distinguished also shorter cycles, called Kitchin inventory cycles, which are belSaturday, March 17, 2018 |

Bank Stocks Lead Gold Stocks Higher |
As the world transitions from deflation to inflation, investors need to engage in serious sector rotation or they risk being left behind.
Income growth in China/India, US government tax cuts, central bank rate hikes, and quantitative tightening are the main fundamental forces of this transition.
The paint is barely dry on Trump’s first tranche of tax cuts, and he’s already talking about round two!
Trump is a businessman and a realist, and that means he knows the US government has no hope ofWednesday, March 14, 2018 |

Are We in Late Cycle Implications for Gold |
In the previous edition of the Market Overview, we explored the fascinating history of bull and bear cycles in both the U.S. dollar and gold. Since then, the idea of cyclicity doesn’t lead me to drop off, disrupting my sleep cycles. Let’s then dig into the topic. We start with the business cycles, as in the recent Gold News Monitor we wrote that “we are in the late stages of the economic cycle – as the cycle matures, volatility increases and investors start to buy more gold as a hedge.” Why do wSaturday, March 10, 2018 |

Smoot Hawley Back With a Vengeance |
Index futures have plunged Tuesday night on news that Gary Cohn, Trump’s top economic adviser, is resigning. The selloff has brought the E-Mini futures down to within an inch of triggering a ‘mechanical’ buy I’d flagged at 2687.00. Ordinarily I’d say jump on it using the precautions I’d advised to set up a low-risk entry point. After all, who the heck is Gary Cohn, anyway? I could not have answered that question myself until an hour ago, and that’s why “buying the news” would seem to be a no-bThursday, March 8, 2018 |

SILVER INVESTMENT: The Lowest Risk, Highest Return Potential vs. Stocks and Real Estate |
While silver is completely off the radar to most investors, it will turn out to be one of the best investments to own as the massive amount of leverage in the stock and real estate market evaporates.

What Does February Stock Market Crash Mean for Gold |
One month after the February stock market rout is an excellent time to step back and review all the facts – and their implications for the gold market. Here’s exactly what happened – and what it implies for your capital allocation.

Chart Predicts Every Market Crash in History |
The Fed blows bubbles. Then it eventually pops them. Where are we in the cycle?
Bill Bonner writes This Has Predicted Every Market Crash in History.
I recreated the chart in Fred and added trendlines. But let's tune in to Bill Bonner.
