The Market Is Going Lower Until The Fed Comes Clean

First of all, we are nowhere near capitulation. I think we are still in denial. Remember, the entire bull market was about the Federal Reserve and the Fed finally pricked its own bubble in December. And there is a lot more air that is going to come out. The market is going much, much lower until the Federal Reserve comes clean and admits that it is not raising interest rates any more. I think they will have to launch QE4 to stop this market and that is exactly what they are going to do.

The One Thing That Has Not Declined Since The Fed Raised Rates

The one thing that has not declined since the Federal Reserve raised rates is gold. Gold is actually up better than 40 dollars an ounce since that rate hike. And if you remember, everybody was unanimous that if the Fed raised rates gold was going to tank because after all higher interest rates were going to crush the gold market. But I was saying the opposite because I knew that the price of gold had been falling for years in anticipating the raising rates. So, my perspective was, buy the rumor, sell the fact, and I thought the price of gold would go up.
