Charts Into Year End

The Comex metals continue to shine.

By TF

It's Thursday afternoon and I thought that, with today's bounce back rally in the Comex metals, we should update the charts and give you some levels to watch into Friday's close.

First of all, I do not plan to have any posts or podcasts tomorrow. As we mentioned yesterday, there won't...

TFMR Podcast - Monday, December 24

With TF

It was another brutal day for the stockroaches and now they face a mid-week holiday full of angst in expectation of what might happen come Wednesday.

And here's a fun stat for your family and friends at your Christmas dinner....Yes, gold is still down 2.8% on the year. However, the S...

TFMR Podcast - Friday, December 21

It was another brutal day for the stockroaches as the global markets continue to contract faster than the Fed contracts its balance sheet. And it looks like next week may hold more of the same.

So we begin today with these two charts. The first is a weekly S&P and the second is a...

Thursday Conversation - Grant Williams

A discussion of the US$ and the gold standard.

With TF

With all sorts of uncertainty ahead in 2019, what a great time to check in with Grant Williams, sound money advocate and co-founder of Real Vision.

Grant and I recorded this on Wednesday, just after the release of the FOMC Fedlines. And what a great time to visit! Over the course of...

CGP's Big Show Begins

The world waits with breathless anticipation.

By TF

Welcome back, my friends
To the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside! Come inside!

So today kicks off CGP's final carnival and side show of 2018. Will it end with the final rate hike of his tenure as Fed Head? Will he bring...

TFMR Podcast - Monday, December 17

The week begins with all kinds of nervous volatility in the "stock market". And did you see crude, too? But this combined to send the Comex metals higher and that's just fine with all of us.

A lengthy general discussion led to a discussion of these charts in order:...

Fed Week

Buckle in and hold on tight.

By TF

All eyes will be on Chief Goon Powell and his FOMC come Wednesday. But there's a lot going on between now and then, too.

So off we go with what might be the most consequential week of the year...and it's week 51 of 52! What will CGP do? More importantly, what will he and his band of...

Thursday Conversation - Brandon Smith

Words of wisdom and warning for 2019.

With TF

I've been an admirer of Brandon Smith since about the time we started TFMR in 2010. And now finally, in 2018, we get a chance to visit.

This is mainly a discussion of three things:

How the world got into this position
What is going on at present
The

Time To Start Sniffing Glue?

It's going to be a wild week.

By TF

This certainly promises to be an interesting week. I'm not even sure where to start...

The Brexit vote which may or may not happen tomorrow.
Continued unrest in France.
More China-US issues re Huawei.
Ukraine.
PPI and CPI as well as

Global Mayhem

Our stacks of precious metal look shinier by the day.

By TF

There's so much going on today that I'm not sure where to start. Stocks plunging. Bonds rallying. Brexit talks. Economic data. Trade war. The list seems endless so where do we begin?

I guess we'll start with the "stock market". It has been under pressure since full trading reopened...

More Trouble for Chief Goon Powell

Time is running out for CGP and his rate hike scheme.

By TF

We wrote two weeks ago about CGP painting himself into a corner. That corner got even tighter today and it will soon close, leaving him with zero remaining options.

It's coming at CGP from multiple directions today. First, Trump in all his glory, pounded away in an interview posted...

TFMR Podcast - Monday, November 26

The Comex metals finished mostly unchanged in the day as global markets shrugged off the latest developments regarding Ukraine, Brexit and China. Tomorrow brings option expiration for the Dec18 contracts so expect some volatility overnight and into Tuesday.

For this podcast, let's...

CGP Rides To The Rescue

Just as we've been telling you he would.

By TF

In a stunning development, there are reports today that CGP and his Fed will reverse course and pause all fed funds hikes as soon as Q1 of next year. NO! YA DON'T SAY! Who could have seen that coming?

Here's the link from ZH. You should be sure to look it over:...

Trouble For Stockroaches

It's always better to be a gold bug.

By TF

All major equity indices are now red for the year and it sure looks like they may fall farther in the days ahead. How will this impact CGP and his plans for 2019? That's the primary question for all of us sound money advocates.

In yesterday's podcast, we discussed the likelihood of an...

TFMR Podcast - Monday, November 19

Today's podcast is freely available for public distribution.

After a volatile Monday, the stage is set for a very important Tuesday across all global markets as tomorrow will be the last day this week with "all hands on deck" due to the looming US holiday of Thanksgiving.

Thus as a public service and just for fun, I though we'd make this a...

Holiday Week

Expect some volatility.

By TF

It will be an odd week with the US holiday of Thanksgiving shuttering our "markets" on Thursday and an abbreviated session on Friday. So let's begin the week with a collection of noteworthy items that merit your consideration.

First and foremost, there definitely seemed to be a...

Hints Of A Change

2019 will not hold what the consensus is expecting.

By TF

It's a very busy morning. Lots of headlines and Comex gold saw some of the short squeeze we just wrote about back on Wednesday. But there are also some hints of a sea change of the sort that will drive prices back and much higher in 2019. Let's list a few of them.

As MrsF likes to say...

Thursday Conversation - Ned Naylor-Leyland

A discussion of gold, the LBMA and Brexit.

With TF

Our old pal, NN-L took his turn today in the Thursday Conversation hot seat.

It's always fun to get caught up with Ned. He's a tireless advocate of sound money and a great ally in our fight against the current system and The Banks.

For this particular discussion, I asked Ned...
