Stock Market: I Am Not Short

I am not short the market because I do believe that the Federal Reserve will put a floor beneath the market by printing money. But the ultimate collapse is in the U.S. Dollar. It has not happened yet but the Federal Reserve is going to sacrifice the U.S. Dollar.

We Are Already In A Recession

I think that we are already in a recession. By the time they go back and revise the numbers that we got for the fourth quarter of last year, early this year, I think the data is going to reflect that we have been in a recession. They never know we are in a recession until you are almost finished with it.

This Is The Biggest Bubble The Federal Reserve Has Ever Inflated

Everything the Federal Reserve has done since the financial crisis has made the underlying problems that caused that crisis worse. And because of that we are on the verge of a worse economic crisis. We are more addicted to cheap money than ever before. There have been more mistakes, more malinvestments, this is the biggest bubble the Federal Reserve has ever inflated.

This Economy Is A Disaster

This economy is a disaster and everyone wants to pretend that it is great because no one wants to admit that Obama is a complete failure, that the Federal Reserve is a complete failure, that everything that the government has done has failed!

Markets: Gold, Gold Mining Stocks & Silver Stocks

It started the year below 1100, it got down to 1050 when the Federal Reserve just raised interest rates in December but it has had a pretty good run. The gold stocks have gone up a lot more. In fact there are silver stocks that have gone up 500 percent since their January lows. That has been the biggest move.

A June Rate Hike Is Not Bearish For Gold

That rate hike (in June) even if it comes is not bearish for Gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD)) nor is it bullish for the Dollar. What happened the last time the Federal Reserve raised interest rates? After a knee jerk reaction we had a huge rally in gold and a big drop in the U.S. Dollar.

Stock Market: Banks (J.P. Morgan (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC)) & Interest Rates

Any meaningful increase in interest rates is not a positive for the financials. It is just wishful thinking that these financials are going to do well when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates.

Gold Stocks: Shaking Out The Weak Hands

Gold and silver stocks got obliterated. Most of the gold and silver stocks were down 8 to 10 percent on the day. That is a huge move but remember the biggest moves in a bull market are down and the biggest moves in a bear market are up and that is what you got. You get these huge moves that are there to shake out the weak hands, to shake out the speculators.

All this rate hike talk, this is just a bunch of talk but it provides fear in the wall of worry this bull market is climbing.

Stock Market: Will the Fed Raise Rates In June?

If Wall Street actually believes that the Federal Reserve is serious about rising interest rates in June, which I do not believe, but if WallS treat believed it, the market would be tanking.

As we got closer and closer to the date that the Fed was theoretically going to raise interest rates, the market would be so low that any talk of a interest rate hike would be dead because now the Federal Reserve would have to deal with tighter financial conditions which is the way they refer to it.  (SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF (SPY), Nasdaq 100 Index ETF (QQQ), iShares Russell 2000 Index ETF (IWM))

The Next Crisis Will Be A Currency Crisis

People are still refusing to admit what should already be obvious. But the problem is people who believe that the Federal reserve solved the problems, they never understood the problems in the first place, that is why they were surprised by the 2008 financial crisis. That same people will be even more surprised by the next crisis which will not just be a financial crisis, it will be a currency crisis which is going to be a whole lot worse than the financial crisis.

The Stock Market: Earnings, Federal Reserve

The stock market right now is caught between earnings going down but the belief that the Federal Reserve will come back in the game with an interest rate cut or more quantitative easing to let the market back up.

Stock Market: We Are In A Earnings Recession

I think we are in a earnings recession in addition to the economic recession but imagine how much worse earnings would be if the Federal Reserve did not have interest rates close to zero.

Markets: The Bad News Aren`t Really Sinking In, Yet

The markets continue really to ignore all of the overwhelming bad news. Bad news on the economy, bad news on the corporate earnings front, on retails ales, you name it. The news is bad. The markets seem to shrug it off, the equity markets, the bond markets, the forex market, the gold and silver market.

I mean, sure there is a knee jerk reaction, we get some bad news and gold spikes up, the dollar dumps but then it recovers what it lost and gold surrenders its gains. The bad news aren`t really sinking in.

U.S. Treasuries Are Not Risk-Free At All

U.S. Treasuries are not risk-free at all because people that own them are going to take a haircut, they are not going to get paid 100 cents on the dollar and if they are it is because the dollar has collapsed and what they get paid will be worth even less.

Peter Schiff is an American businessman, investment broker and financial commentator. Schiff is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc.

U.S. Debt: Is Default The Solution?

I think it is going to have to because we have to have higher interest rates, there is no question that we cannot keep artificially suppressed interest rates or the U.S. Dollar is going to collapse, we are going to have runaway inflation, we are going to have to do something or we are not going to have real capital investment unless we have genuine savings. And no one is going to save when interest rates are zero or negative.

We are going to have to raise interest rates but then when interest rates go up it will be impossible to service the debt. Forget about repaying it. We cannot even pay the interest. (iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), ProShares UltraShort Lehman 20+ Year ETF (TBT), U.S. Treasuries)

Donald Trump On U.S. Debt, Interest Rates

Trump talked about the fact that if interest rates go up we cannot afford to service the debt. He is a low interest rate guy, we wants to keep interest rates low and the main problem with higher rates other than what he believes would be a strong U.S. Dollar (I disagree with him there) but on the fact where he talked about that high interest rates, he said we cannot afford high interest rates so we have to be very careful because if we raise interest rates even a little bit, even a one percentage point increase would be a disaster because we do not have the money to pay. And he is right! We do not!

Retail Sales Are Horrible

We got these year-over-year same store sales and they were horrible. I think every single company that reported sales missed estimates and some missed by a mile! So retail sales are horrible!

Why The Federal Reserve Will Not Raise Interest Rates

The economic data is just too weak and the election too close for the Federal Reserve to actually take a chance at raising interest rates again given what a big disaster it was when it raised interest rates in December.

Markets: In The Short Run Its All About Perception, Than Reality Sets In

In the short run it is all about what people think not about reality. And if everybody is wrong than the markets are going to reflect that and ultimately though reality is going to cause the markets to change, assets will be repriced not based on what people thought it was going to happen but based on what actually happens.

The U.S. Dollar Will Accelerate Lower

The markets are starting to validate what I have been saying. The Dollar is just starting to break down, technically it does not have much support here.  I see an acceleration in the weakness of the U.S. Dollar.

Peter Schiff is an American businessman, investment broker and financial commentator. Schiff is the CEO and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital Inc.

Dollar Weakness, Gold Strength Caught Wall Street By Surprise

The U.S. Dollar closed on the low of the month. The Dollar Index barely held the 93 handle. The Dollar is weak across the board. I think year to date now the Dollar Index is down about 6 percent. Nobody expected this! At least nobody in the conventional Wall Street, fund managers, hedge fund managers. They all expected the opposite. The same thing with gold.

The Bond Market Is Smelling Inflation

Probably the most disturbing thing if I was on the Federal Reserve would be what is happening with long term interest rates. Take a look at yields on the 30-year US. Treasuries. We are now at the highest yield we have been in about 3 months. Why are yields rising?  The economic data is getting weaker, so why are interest rates rising? Because the bond market smells inflation, they smell stagflation. (iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT))

Crude Oil & Stock Market: Decoupling

The markets are really acting as they are figuring out what is going on. I mean the markets have stagflation written all over them. First of all, oil. Oil had a big up day today, better than 2 dollars a barrel. This is the highest price of the year yet despite this big jump in oil prices the Dow Jones Industrials Index was barely up and the Nasdaq Composite was down. Decoupling.

The Stock Market Is Going Down In Real Terms

Gold continues to rise, so in real terms the U.S. stock market is going down and in fact the U.S. Dollar is now declining and has been declining all year against almost all currencies in the world, so it is just an illusion that the stock market is going up.

The Stock Market Is Not Going Up As Fast As Gold

We want businesses investing in capital to increase labor productivity so that workers can earn more real money and the prices in real terms can come down so consumers can enjoy a higher living standards. None of that is happening. This has just been a bubble and the problem is that the air has been coming out of it, that is why we relapsed back into recession.

Yes, the stock market is going up but not as fast as the price of silver, not as fast as the price of gold. So in real terms the stock market is actually going down faster now than it was last year.

America: A Coming Bankruptcy

Gold Stocks Are Rallying But The Major Firms Are Not Yet Participating

Gold stocks are going up yet everybody in the mainstream is sitting there doubting it. They are looking in amazement at the rally. This market is moving up and nobody in the mainstream of the investment world is on board. The train has left and there is nobody on it. So eventually they are going to buy at some point like they piled into the gold trade when it was at 1700, 1800, 1900.

The Worst Case For Gold Is Still Bullish

The worst case scenario for Gold is, the Federal Reserve raises interest rates a little bit and that is bullish for gold or they do not raise interest rates at all, and that is even more bullish for gold or they cut interest rates and gold goes ballistic.

I am seeing a lot of mainstream articles now about why you should not jump on this bandwagon, how dangerous the gold market is. And all this stuff really is music to my ears.

Recent Economic Data Points To A Recession

Obviously this economy is already back in recession and if its not in a recession its in the cusp of one.

You look at the data that came out, you got Industrial Production unless that came out, they were looking for a bounce, instead we got another true decline, they revised February down, we had big inventories build again this week, retail sales disappointed.

I think its clear that that we could be in a negative GDP quarter now and I think if the first quarter is bad the second quarter is going to be worse because the last couple of years we had a rebound in the second quarter because of very cold winters. Well, this winter was the warmest in 120 years, so there is nothing to rebound from. (SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF (SPY), SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), Nasdaq 100 Index ETF (QQQ))

Silver Typically Does Even Better Than Gold In Bull Markets

If I am right about a bull market in Gold, there`s got to be a bull market in Silver. I do not think that there has ever been a bull market in Gold that was not accompanied by a bull market is Silver. And typically the Silver market does even better in a bull market than Gold.

The Stock Market Is Caught Between Opposing Forces

I do not know if the Dow Jones Industrials Index is rising despite the bad economic news or because of the bad news. Because the bad news means the economy is weak and corporate earnings are not going to be there and you have a high multiple. Disappointing earnings are bad for stocks but of course if the economy is weak that takes the Federal Reserve out of the interest rate hiking game and I think puts it in the cutting interest rates and QE4 game and of course that is bullish for stocks. The market is caught between these opposing forces. (SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF (SPY), iShares Russell 2000 Index ETF (IWM), Nasdaq 100 Index ETF (QQQ) )

The Stock Market Is Still In Denial

I think the markets are still in denial in respect to the underlying weakness of the U.S. Economy. The reason the markets have rallied off their February lows is because it is apparent and it should have been apparent earlier that the Federal Reserve is not going to be raising interest rates many times if at all in 2016.

Oil Prices Going Up Is Bad For U.S. Stocks And For The Economy

Oil prices going up instead of going down its going to be a negative to the U.S. Economy. I think the idea that what we need is higher oil prices, when it comes to wishing for higher oil price because you think that is good for the economy and for the stock market, be careful about what you wish for.

In fact, at the rate that own our rig count is collapsing all this oil that we are no longer producing has to be imported and the trade deficit going higher is also a negative for the U.S. Economy.

Gold Stocks: A Big Rally Again

We had a huge up day in gold stocks. Actually between Friday and Monday, I think this was the biggest back to back gain in gold stocks all year.

Stock Market: The Rally is Over

I think that this rally is over. I think the market is rolling over because as I said before, just not raising interest rates is not going to cut it. What the Fed is going to have to do is to cut interest rates back to zero.

This Economy Would Have To Improve Dramatically To Get To Mediocre

This economy would have to improve dramatically to get to mediocre, it is lousy! Why do you think Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have so much support? You know, behind all those phony jobs numbers are a lot of angry Americans who lost their full time jobs and have a low paying part time job, their standard of living is going down, their cost of living is going up.

Gold Miners, Commodity Stocks: The Beginning Of A New Trend

It was one of the best quarters that I can remember for gold stocks. No one on Wall Street owns gold stocks but people like me own them, my clients own gold stocks. They had a great quarter.

The U.S. Dollar Bubble Has Burst

The U.S. Dollar bubble has burst and I think this is the biggest dollar bubble I have ever seen. I think there is more air that is going to come out of it. The last U.S. Dollar bubble popped in 2001 and that one had inflated along the dot com bubble. The Dollar Index got to about 120 and by the time it bottomed out in 2008 the Dollar index was almost at 70.

International Investing Doing Very Well

If you are invested internationally you had a great quarter. This is probably the best quarter since any quarter that I can remember since 2009 to be invested internationally.
