Silver is Risen

Quietly a strong end to the holiday week for gold, silver, and their miners.  Granted, tomorrow's PCE report with the cash markets closed will be a major event, especially once Easter dinner is done and Sunday night futures open into the new month and quarter on Monday.  However, recall during the 1970s that gold and metals/miners performed the...

AT&T Set to Outperform NVIDIA for the Next Decade

With a forward PE of 7 and a dividend well north of 6%, AT&T continues to be overlooked if not outright hated by the investing community.

Look What Washed Ashore

Another super slow day out there (mostly, save DJT and RDDT type action). But note the ARM lockup expiry and weakness is impacting the semis into the bell negatively.  The SOX did not make a new high since the beginning of the month, diverging from the Nasdaq last week.

Tossing One to the Alligators

Metals and the Bond Market Can Stop This March Madness

Sure, we can discuss oil. But from my perch the bond market, shooting rates higher, and the precious metals with their derivative miners, are the two main forces which can push back on The Fed's likely mistake of focusing on rate cuts and ignoring the possibility of inflation igniting for another wave higher.  On the junior silver miner ETF...

Jerome Powell Starring as Backdraft Ronald

"What would you like to do to the currency and confidence in inflation, Jerome?"  Burn it Gold, silver, copper, and the miners saw a surge as Powell opened his presser with incredibly dovish comments  even though some of the Fed voting members dot plots initially seemed a touch more hawkish than expected.  On the silver ETF monthly chart,...

The Two Most Generous Bartenders in History

If nothing else, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen may very well wind up going down in history as the two most generous bartenders, proving ample liquidity to markets at each and every juncture for a period of years.  You may be thinking that the current rally in equities, with the broad market refusing to pull back even 2% for nearly one hundred...

And that is what we have taking place here, albeit to an extreme.  Interestingly, alongside the rally in Japanese stocks overnight, this is...
