Investors’ curiosity has peaked as central banks are increasing their gold purchases. We are not going back to a Bretton Woods type situation and that is not the issue. You must understand that gold is neutral. Central banks are buying gold because the Neocons have weaponized the dollar. Russia was removed from the SWIFT system, […]
QUESTION: I see all of these people calling for a major crash of 50%+. With interest rates so low and the dividends on the Dow twice that of interest rates, does anyone look at yield anymore? PH ANSWER: I fully agree. The yield on the Dow Jones is 2.34%, which is about comparable the 10-year […]
QUESTION: Martin, I have been reading about machine learning recently and have come across a concept that I believe you might have figured out that no one else has. To quote Max Welling “The information we receive from the world has two components to it: there is the part of the information which does not carry […]
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Going-Against-Majority.mp4 QUESTION: I find it interesting that you say the majority must always be wrong.

The intraday high was established on January 6th in the Dow at 19.999.63. We elected a Daily Bearish Reversal the very next day, which warned that we are moving lower in a cautionary move leading into the inauguration.

The Dow has fallen in a knee-jerk reaction to BREXIT, which really is hype thanks to politicians. The gains for Britain are clear. It escapes the forced immigration and it escapes from EU draconian regulation. It is effectively the same as the American Revolution where the slogan was “no taxation without representation,” and the EU structure […]

The Dow is now testing key technical support at the 17624 level and breaking this level warns that a correction becomes possible. We have two very important Weekly Bearish Reversals at 17434 and 17120 level. A weekly closing beneath the 17120 level will signal a sharp sell-off of about 1,000 points or down to the […]
The market continues to press everyone up against the absurd. The Dow rallied so far above the 18100 level that it defied the logic that continues to be bearish. Likewise, if we see crude oil pressing highs and a close above the last high of 4242, then we should fill the gap up to the […]
QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, since the S&P did break last year’s low, does that qualify for a slingshot if the Dow does not? Thank You for all you do GW ANSWER: We do not have to make a new low in the Dow. The S&P 500 penetrating last year’s low was sufficient. We are approaching our […]
