Regular readers will know I am in the inflation, possibly hyperinflation camp; but there are those that think the future is more likely to be deflationary. In the main this is the view of neoclassical economists, Keynesians and monetarists, who generally foresee a 1930s-style slump unless the economy is stimulated out of it. Rather than ...
Things have cooled off in the gold and silver markets, with the former trading in a range between $1,450 and $1,480, and silver moving between $23 and $24. Both metals sold off early in New York futures trading yesterday, but rebounded following the release of Fed minutes indicating that the Fed will consider increasing its money printing ...
As said countless times before on this site, QE is permanent. There is no way that central banks like the Fed, Bank of England and others can reverse their expansionary policies or engineer a neat “exit” without tipping their economies into an all-mighty deflationary collapse.

Gold and silver may be struggling for direction at the moment, but palladium continues to move higher: bursting above the $760/oz mark yesterday. Platinum enjoyed a solid up day – though its bullish progress has slowed slightly over the last week. Copper and crude oil as well as general equities had strong sessions, encouraged by ...
A PeakProsperity.com reader recently lamented: "I have been trying to get my head around the mechanism of QE. Not being an economist or experienced investor I don't really understand a lot of the jargon. The usual simple definition of QE as "thin air money printing" does not satisfy my need for understanding either. Have ...
Precious metal prices have rallied over the last 24 hours, encouraged perhaps by talk of trillion-dollar platinum coins and various other ways of circumventing the US federal government’s laughably named “debt ceiling” (a strange type of ceiling that keeps moving higher and higher). As we’ve said many times ...
