Wow…another whack. Wall Street got whacked hard yesterday. It had begun to look as though things were getting back to normal. Then…whammo! Yesterday, the Dow took a 419 point hit. Gold rose $28 to close decisively above $1,800. We keep an eye on stocks and gold. Stocks measure the value of America’s businesses. Gold measures [...]

Thu, 18 Aug 2011 22:00:09 +0000

In the first five minutes of trading this morning, the Dow fell 300 points. It fell a further 40 in the ensuing 25 minutes. Then shed another 150 the moment the Philadelphia Fed announced grim news for manufacturing at 10:00 a.m. As you might expect, the “safety trade” is back on. At the opening, it [...]

Finding the Best Buying Opportunities in Volatile Markets

Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:30:43 +0000

Mr. Market spoke last week…. Unfortunately, no one could understand a word he was saying. Like a back-alley drunk, Mr. Market was mumbling about so much of everything that he wasn’t saying anything at all. Since July 26, Mr. Market has obliterated $6.8 trillion of global market capitalization. That’s fairly decisive. But last week, he [...]

Gold Rallies in the Ugly Face of Financial Markets

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 20:50:31 +0000

There is beauty in life, and there is truth. The two are not mutually exclusive, necessarily, though a coincidence can be rare. Often times, the truth is not as attractive as we would like for it to be. And sometimes beauty is but a lie. But every once in a while, the two converge…and the [...]

The world is undercollateralized. This is the single most important feature of the 2011 economy. Sixty years ago, if assets were worth less than loans, it was possible to work our way into the black. In 1950, 59% of US corporate profits were from manufacturing; 9% were from finance. The roles of manufacturing and finance [...]

Gold and Silver: Head and Shoulders Above the Market

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 22:00:57 +0000

I admit that I am pretty lazy, and I don’t do a lot of technical analysis of markets and/or prices, but I do some charting of some things, and I naturally come across some of what others write about emerging chart patterns, and price-points, and channels, and bands, and stuff I don’t understand even more [...]

Bill Bonner — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:07:44 +0000

Yesterday was a good day for stock market investors. Prices went up. The Dow rose 254 points, leaving us uncertain about its near-term intentions. Of course, we're always uncertain. But sometimes we're more uncertain than others. What seems certain to us is that stocks are a bad bet. You might find this interesting, dear reader: [...]
