This Is A Bear Market

I've been calling for a bear market and I think this is a bear market and if we get a rally that will be the correction because the primary trend is now down. This is early in this bear market, it's very young and unfortunately it's going to be very long-lived.

I think this is going to be similar if not worse than the bear market that went from 1966 to 1982. It took 16 years for the Dow to make a new high and during that time period inflation took about 70 percent away from the Dow's value. This time I think it's going to be worse.

Apple (AAPL) Now in a Bear Market

"But there was some other particularly bad news that came in before the opening bell, and that one was from Apple (AAPL). They said they will be cutting production because of lower sales. That decision trickles down, effecting a lot of companies who count on those orders from Apple (AAPL). The price of Apple (AAPL) is down by 4% on the day. But if you now look at the total drop - just over 20% - and that means the way Wall Street scores it, Apple is now in a bear market."

In The Short Run Gold & Silver Are Going Way Up

I don't think that (price manipulation) is the primary reason that the price of gold and silver have been going down. I don't think it's just manipulation. I think people just are completely clueless with respect to what's actually going on in the world. They don't understand the US economy, they do not  understand the Federal Reserve but they're about to get a rude awakening and the smart money is buying gold whether it's being manipulated or not in the short run both and silver are both going way up in the long run and the long run may be here much sooner than people think.
