IMHO, rising gold prices in the face of falling asset and commodities is a red flag.

Gold is ON THE MOVE and silver broke the $15/oz barrier today. This is the start of the big BOOM for precious metals. World economy in decline and everybody is running to gold!

Silver hasn't been above $15/oz since early November 2015.

I'm afraid you're right. I also see this as a sign that "this time really is different", as in "OMG!".

I hope folks are preparing, in case we're both right.

Our govt will fudge data until a democrat is safely elected, or if a republican is elected they will let it collapse the day after inauguration and all the dummies will blame it on him.
