Stock Market: What Will Happen Next

Overall the market is now recovering because I believe more and more people are beginning to realize that the Federal Reserve is not only not going to be raising interest rates in 2016 but they are going to be cutting them, they are going to be doing another round of economic stimulus and that is what is saving the stock market.

The question is, will the Federal Reserve meet those expectations and actually come out and validate them or they are going to throw cold water on it and in this that case this rally will fizzle out and the market is going to go to new lows.

Stock Market: This Is Not A Lasting Bottom

We are not going to get a lasting bottom until the Federal Reserve makes that bottom. It is not going to be a Jamie Dimon bottom, it is going to be a Janet Yellen bottom. I think it is exactly what we are going to have to do to get a real low in this market. Remember, every single decline that the market has experienced since 2009, the bottom has been set by the Federal Reserve, not by individuals trying to pick it. It has been the Federal Reserve forming that bottom by coming to the rescue with interest rate cuts, QE programs, operation twist, hinting about another QE program. And so far the Federal Reserve has done none of that.

U.S. Dollar: The Only Reason it Rose And Why Its Now Falling

The only reason that the U.S. Dollar has risen these past few years, although it is now falling so far in 2016, but the reason it rose was because everybody was convinced that what the Federal Reserve did actually worked, that we had a real recovery, that the Federal Reserve was going to be able to raise interest rates. I knew all along that it was not true!

Markets: U.S. Stocks, The Economy

What really should get people nervous about the economy is the economy! The economy is really sea, it is one of the reasons the stock market is going down, the other one is of course that the Federal Reserve pricked the bubble and the air is coming out.

Gold Stocks Making New Highs

Several gold stocks that I follow, that I own, made new 52 week highs and several others did not quite make 52 week highs but are trading at the highest point of this calendar year.

Why Is Goldman Sachs Picking On Gold?

Goldman Sachs (GS) came out to encourage their clients to short Gold. And you can think of all the potential shorts out there, why even short Gold? I mean, if Gold is at 1,200 and Goldman thinks its going to 1,000, if a stock is at 12 and you think the downside is 10, there is really not a lot to short there.

Why is Goldman Sachs (GS) picking on Gold with so many other good shorts out there? Most likely it is because Goldman Sachs (GS) is short gold itself and needs to cover it or just wants to buy Gold and they want to push the price down so they can buy at a better price.
