- Inflation is back. So what does this mean for gold? http://bit.ly/2Cp3EKY
- Gold’s $12 dollar selloff is now a $13 dollar rally. Maybe traders are finally figuring out that inflation is good for gold. Wait until they figure out that no matter how hot inflation gets, the Fed is powerless to put out the fire! http://bit.ly/2Cp3EKY
- #Bitcoin just traded down to $6,000. That is 70% below its record high set in Dec. 2017. How much lower will the price have to fall before the HODLers FODL? My guess is most will hang on until the price is well below $1,000. Then the big problem will be finding buyers!
- The fact that the dollar and bond prices are falling together is a very, very bad sign that everybody is ignoring. The bond yields aren’t high enough to offset the losses in the foreign exchange. http://bit.ly/2DMF5MP
- Does scientific research drive innovation? Not very often, argues Matt Ridley
- The Cruelty of the $15 Minimum Wage
- Earlier this week, the New York Fed released the latest data on US household debt, revealing it has grown to a record $13 trillion. Americans have been spending, but they’ve been putting a lot of it on plastic. http://bit.ly/2EGkudw

- @4LPH4THOR Yes, its just early. The recent 10% drop was not a correction but the beginning of a bear market.
- When Obama was running these big deficits, the Fed was monetizing them with trillion dollars a year of QE's. Now, they’re not doing any. So, that means we’re going to have a massive increase in interest rates. That means stocks collapse. http://bit.ly/2BTx6Mr

“If You Don’t Own Gold, You Know Neither History Nor Economics” – The Reason For Our Confidence In Gold
What is the reason for our unbroken confidence in gold? Our predilection for gold is primarily based on our understanding of monetary history. At the moment, it appears as though faith in the omnipotence and infallibility of central banks is at an all-time high.
This goes hand in hand with new record highs in stocks and especially government bonds.
According to Jim Grant, who describes the price of gold as the reciprocal of the credibility of central banks, this is inter alia a likely explanation for the somewhat directionless performance of the yellow metal. Should the omnipotence of central banks be questioned by the markets, it could cause a fundamental change in perceptions and help gold regain its former respect and reach new heights.
