Capital One (ONE): Signs Of A Weaker Economy?
The Dow Jones Industrials just had its worst week since January. We closed the week at 17,568, down 518 points on the week. Friday`s drop alone accounted for 163 points.
An interesting corporate earnings news item that came out on Friday was Capital One (COF). They are one of the nation`s largest issuers of credit cards. And if the U.S. Economy was really doing as well as everybody pretends it is you would expect credit cards companies to be doing well because people have jobs, the economy is growing so the users are not falling behind on their credit cards. In fact they would be using more their credit cards to buy more things because they feel better about the economy, they are willing to spend more. So everything should be going well at Capital One (COF). Instead they came out with a huge earnings miss, the shares plunged by 12 percent!

U.S. Stocks Are Very Expensive
I do think U.S. stocks are very expensive and in fact it does remind me of the 1990`s bubble. And what is happening right now with gold reminds me of what was happening during the dot com bubble.
Remember we had a vicious bear market in Gold from 1996 to 2000. and it was the opposite of the New Economy. Everybody had faith in Alan Greenspan, the Maestro, they believed in the new era and gold got crushed, gold stock got crushed. The Wall Street Journal came out with an article, or the New York Times, "Who needs gold when you have Alan Greenspan?"
Well, we know how badly it ended. Everybody needed Gold, then Gold was up 650 percent in the next 12 years. So I think people are making the same mistake now.

Impossible To Raise Interest Rates Without Hurting The Economy
Think about this, if Janet Yellen is saying, we are only going to raise interest rates if we can do it without hurting the economy, then she is admitting that they are never going to raise interest rates because it is impossible to raise interest rates without hurting the economy. Especially given how long they have been at zero.

Canadian Dollar: Why Is It Falling?
The reality is interest rates in the United States are still below interest rates in Canada and I think they will remain below interest rates in Canada for 2016 as well.
Meanwhile, yes, they have reduced their forecasts for growth in Canada but it may well be that Canadian growth even though its slower it could still outgrow the United States in 2015.
So, why is the Canadian Dollar is getting hammered? Because Canada is easing, they cut interest rates and the Federal Reserve is perceived to be tightening even though they haven`t tightened at all, even though monetary policy in America is easier than it is in Canada yet somehow the Federal Reserve is getting credit for being tight.

Interest Rates Going Up Will Result In A Financial Crisis
You have a bunch of people who believe that a bubble is a recovery. The same people that did not know about the dot com bubble in the 1990`s or the real estate bubble. They believe that what the Federal Reserve has inflated is a legitimate recovery. It is not.
Interest rates going up will result in a worse financial crisis than 2008. It should be obvious but for most people it is not.

China: Their Biggest Problem
The real fundamentals of the Chinese economy are much sounder than it is generally perceived.
Are there problems? Yes.
What is the cause of these problems? Their monetary policy. That is the biggest problem. It is too loose, their interest rates are too low, they are printing too much money.
Why are they doing that? Because they are trying to maintain their peg to the U.S. Dollar, they are trying to keep their currency down and when you do that you get bubbles. You get people looking for alternatives because they can`t get enough interest on their savings so they chase the real estate market, they chase the stock market, this is happening in China too.
But beneath the these bubbles is a legitimate economy that is producing, that is growing. You have savings, you have investment, you have real legitimate economic growth - something that is missing in the United States.

China: Putting The Stock Market Decline Into Perspective
You have to put this decline into perspective. Because even though the market is down better than 30 percent in a short period of time, the Chinese market is still positive on the calendar year. The U.S. Market is down. The Chinese market is up.

The Strength In The Euro Will Continue
Regardless of how this works, either Greece leaves the Eurozone or caves into the demands and stays in the Eurozone but accepts the austerity that is bullish for the Euro.
Either way, either you get rid of the weakest link or you male the weakest link stronger. But either way the chain gets stronger.
The worst thing for the Euro currency was to cave into the Greek`s demands because you were so afraid of Greece leaving. That did not happen. So I think this strength in the Euro currency (EURUSD) is going to continue.

We Will Need Another Injection Of QE To Keep The Bubble From Deflating
The markets have not come to terms with this reality, yet. But eventually they will figure out that this is all talk, that the Federal Reserve cannot raise rates because we are too addicted to the cheap money. We will have to have another injection of QE to keep the bubble from deflating and when that happens the bottom will drop out of the dollar.

Has The U.S. Dollar Peaked?
The U.S. Dollar has had a very significant rise over the last couple of years, although it has not been rising since March. It kind of peaked out in March. But the basis of the Dollar rally was the false confidence in the U.S. Economy and the generally held view that the Federal Reserve was going to start raising interest rates and shrinking down its balance sheet because it had fixed all the problems.
The reality is they did not fix the problems, they made them all worse and so now they can`t shrink its balance sheet, it can`t raise interest rates without precipitating a worse financial crisis than 2008. The markets haven`t come to terms with this reality.

Gold: We Are At These Levels Where you Get The Buyers
I think we are at these levels where you get the buyers, the real long term buyers who are not buying Gold for a trade, they are buying Gold because they want to own it.
They are buying Gold because they really understand that the Dollar is at risk, the fiat system is at risk and they need to buy real gold.

The Bullish Case For Gold
All the things that are happening around the world are fundamentally bullish for Gold even though the price of Gold is not rising to reflect that.
The bullish case for Gold beneath the surface continues to strengthen and at some point the speculative forces that are restraining Gold, the money that is moving into the U.S. Dollar (because the safe haven money still regards the U.S. Dollar as a safe haven) even though I believe it is riskier than most of the currencies that are under pressure) at some point they will not be able to contain.
It is like a cork that is being held underwater and eventually you take your hand off, the pressure is there and it just going to pop up. The same thing is going to happen to Gold.

Greece Is Broke, They Are Not Going To Pay The Money Back

Interest Rates: Damned If They Do, Damned If They Don`t
We are damned if they do raise rates and damned if they don`t. If they do raise interest rates they prick the bubble that they have inflated. Because we have so much debt, the only reason the bubble has not already bursted is because rates are still at zero. So, if they move them back up to 2 or 3 percent, which is still historically very low, given how much debt we have, it is impossible to sustain it.
