QUESTION: Hello Mr. Armstrong, Thank you very much for your blog – I visit daily! Is it possible that both you and the gold bugs are correct? I think your argument with the gold bugs may be a misunderstanding. The problem lies in how you define manipulation. When a large sale occurs in illiquid hours, I […]

Why people refuse to listen is simply amazing. The hate mail stating that gold is being manipulated implying it would be rising in a bull market is just absurd. There can be NO MANIPULATION that reverses a trend no matter what the market is. If there were enough buyers of gold or whatever, nobody can […]

The Fed’s quantitative easing (QE) or asset purchase program, has managed to cause the Fed’s balance sheet to explode from under $1 trillion pre-crisis to an all-time high of $3.48 trillion. While this $2.48 trillion increase has sent people ranting about hyperinflation that has been just absurd. They fail to grasp the fact that there has […]

We have a front row seat” in your bleak piece entitled, “The Elections for 2014 Are All About Creating a Dictatorship”. Talk about gallows humor! It reminded me of the story of a shopkeeper who had his store front damaged in a […]

John Boehner, the Country-Club Republican could be on his way out the door. He is caught between a rock and a hard place without a doubt. If he allows the House to pass a Senate deal being negotiated between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell, Boehner may be out the door. […]

The word is out. They are using the shutdown to try to install a virtual dictatorship in 2014 and taxes will soar like never before. Every act from here on out will be the design to create a one-party system. If the Democrats win using every social issue they can think of, the economics will […]

The Socialists are everywhere. Now the IMF has come out with the brilliant idea to tax the rich and target the multinational corporations to solve the budget deficits. These people simply belong in prison because they are far more dangerous to society than and rapist or armed robber. Their victims will be the entire society. […]
