The U.S. real estate market has turned for the top end has peaked. Luxury homes for the top 5% are now off by 2%. In my personal search, I have been looking at homes in Florida for the past year. Some of the high-end homes they showed me on the beach were still on the […]

QUESTION: Marty, it is amazing how these markets gravitate to your number like the 1043 in gold and 10530 in the Euro. You said at the conference we should watch the gold benchmarks like bookends and the bounce into the first warns of an opposite trend. Which week are you now looking for the turn? […]

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, the rally in the euro and the failure to see a similar move in gold certainly makes this appear to be just a short cover rally. Correct? ANSWER: Yes. This illustrates just how big the short euro position was on the carry trade. The underlying “fundamentals” did not change, in fact they got […]

  I have been warning that government can do whatever it likes and declare anything to be be a criminal act. In the USA, not paying taxes is NOT a crime, failing to file your income tax is the crime. The EU has imposed the first outright total asset reporting requirement for cash, jewelry, and anything […]

I am surprised that you […]

This is an elitist view to say the least for the money injected does not stimulate the economy for it never reaches the […]

COMMENT: Armstrong-san, in Japan there is a belief that the Japanese government instigated your case because you warned that the Postal Savings fund would require government funds to bail it out because they lost the people’s money trying to support the market. You also said the economy would decline for 26 years. Many viewed that […]

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong; I do not want to reveal my sources but your ordeal with the government and Republic National Bank was linked to the shady dealings that Safra was involved with in Russia with the blessings of the U.S. government. Here is an article on the link which predates your ordeal by three years. […]

QUESTION: Hi Marty, I saw another article about a trove of 4,000 Roman coins found in Switzerland. I read that the earliest date was 274 AD, during the reign of Aurelian.  I’ve noticed that many of these buried collections that are found seem to have been typically buried during this time period?  Would you know why?  […]
