    China May Have Beaten Coronavirus, But Now It Could Be Facing a Food Crisis

    The problem is not that there is a food shortage. The bigger problem with food is that the delivery system is showing signs of breaking down.

    SP500 back to $3300 by end of month

    The probability of the market being back at 3300 by months end is near zero. In order for that to happen the indices would have to go beyond stupid overbought territory for an extended period of time. By stupid overbought I mean that their RSI indicators would be beyond 82.5 for a week or...

    Markets are impossible to predict

    As to the original post, Farmer entered the NUGT trade far to late, when the RSI for GLD was in the low 80's and peaked at 85. That's why there was so much profit taking in the miners, Mr. Market is anticipating a pullback in the metal. Should have been actually buying DUST, the inverse of NUGT...

    In regards to the original question, the easy answer is yes and they have been for decades, ever since Reagan took office after interest rates went crazy during the Carter administration. The formula for calculating inflation was changed and presto, perpetually low to no inflation. The current...

    Why Cannabis Stocks were Dropping

    In a nutshell, supply sat on demands head. It was either Aurora or Canopy growth, I forget which, but they missed earnings because they had to drop their prices 50%. Two weeks ago, I saw some news on TV about farmers who had cultivated and made quality acreage available to cannabis growers, and...

    Gold

    Technically overbought today, but not by much. Healthy profit taking at the end of the day. Looking for some back filling here. Although judging by how neurotic the market is acting, not sure if we'll get much of a pullback.

    Spoke to my neighbor again last night, and if anything, the slowdown continues in his business. He relayed to me that building products have basically taken a nose dive, and that his business with home builders has dried up.

    Gold

    Right there with you and trader 99. Thursday low 15 minutes into the session and a grind up for the rest of the day. Days like that are few and far between. I use leveraged miner ETF's. Hit a low of 28 at 6:45am, got in just above that, rode it out to 34 and dumped it all. I got in because there...

    Gold vs Bitcoin

Especially now, with all the leverage and debt, and all the intertwining of...

    60% Of US Equity Assets Are Already Parked In Passive Vehicles, Quants Control Another 20%
