Why The Gold Price Remains So Low: An Inside Scoop
The sad reality is that “good as gold” will soon be nothing more than an amusing anachronism and a cautionary tale for those who would like to believe that there are certain inalienable, unequivocal and unshakable truisms in the investment and financial universe.

Gold’s Prospects In A Soft-Landing Scenario Are Mixed - Here’s Why
Soft landings, it has been said, are the holy grail of monetary policy, and as we look ahead to 2024, there are signs that we may be on the cusp of one.

Does Gold Provide Portfolio Protection During A Recession?
The above comparison of the S&P 500 and gold prices reveals that gold outperformed the S&P 500 in 5 out of the 8 US recessions since 1970. In addition, of the 3 recessions where the S&P 500 performed better than gold, one of them was basically a draw. The Great Recession (December 2007 – June 2009) provides perhaps the best example of gold’s power as a safe haven asset when the country is in a severe economic contraction.

Rising Inequality Eroding Trust In Democracy & Fostering Spread Of Authoritarian Movements
The market's worsening breadth and the lack of a robust bounce on 8/18/23, even as bond yields reversed course after their runaway freight train climb during the week, is worrisome.

Consider this: CBOE Put/Call Ratio hit 1.25 on 8/16 - the highest reading in eight months; The CNN Greed Fear Index hit 46 (neutral) on 8/18/23 - a month ago it was at 83 (extreme greed).

Bubble Watch: A Shift - and Surge - In Small-cap AI Stocks Is Coming Soon
Image source Luke Lango, editor of Hypergrowth Investing, maintains that every bull market starts with large caps because investors become more confident but remain largely cautious and unwilling to get too risky, so they buy only “safe stocks” – large caps. However, in every new bull market – usually about 6-9 months after the market bottoms – there is a major shift: optimism and greed replace skepticism and caution and I couldn’t agree more.
Putting A Price On Gold Doesn’t Tell Us Anything About Gold - Here’s Why
…Gold is original money and is the original measure of value for everything else. It was never a question as to what gold is worth… By Kelsey Williams THE PRICE OF GOLD IS IRRELEVANT The price of gold is irrelevant as far as gold is concerned.
