Negative Interest Rates Destroying the World Economy

April 18, 2016

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, I think I am starting to see the light you have been shining. Negative interest rates really are “completely insane”. I also now see that months after you wrote about central banks were trapped, others are now just starting to entertain the idea. Is this distinct difference in your views that eventually […]

Are the People being Manipulated by Those Claiming Manipulation?

April 17, 2016

COMMENT: Marty, the goldbugs are out in force saying that the banks have admitted they manipulated silver. It is interesting how these people lack any understanding of the markets. Just give up. They deserve their own fate. BD REPLY: Yes, I know. It is rather pathetic. It demonstrates how ignorant they are about trading and the […]

Socialist — Fascist — Communist

April 4, 2016

I have been asked to explain the differences between socialism, fascism, and communism for some people seem to mix them all up. A “socialist” is akin to a fascist for there governments seeks to dictate control. They do not pretend to own private property. Communists seize all private property and place it in the hands […]

“The Associated Press Stylebook” lists all the “politically correct” terms you should use. The term “Islamist” is now defined as “An advocate or supporter of a political movement that favors reordering government and society in accordance with laws prescribed by Islam.” They go on to explain you should not use the term Islamic “fighters, militants, […]

Markets in Review for the Close of Q1 2016

April 1, 2016

When you have a consistent system that is running on absolutely everything around the world, you can simply look at it dispassionately and judge everything by the same standards.

Is Obedience to Authority the Explanation?

April 1, 2016

QUESTION: Marty, your point is well taken that we instinctively seek a guru be it in forecasting or politics.

BH ANSWER: No. Perhaps it stems from the same […]

Phase Transitions in Nature – An Exploding Star

March 29, 2016

Be it nature or politics, everything dies in a Phase Transition. The fall of communism in 1989 was abrupt and swept from China to Russia within a matter of months. Western political systems will simply collapse by this same process. Everything dies in an explosive Phase Transition. It is said when you die you see your […]

Forecasting That You Can Do As Well

March 26, 2016

QUESTION: Marty, in the new Gold report on page 34 you state that the $1309 is the yearly number but you said “Therefore, we have two Weekly Bullish Reversals at 1272 and 1287.50 that may provide the resistance.
