News & Views May 2021 Michael J. Kosares
“Survivalism,” wrote Evan Osnos in a 2017 article for The New
Yorker, “the practice of preparing for a crackup of
civilization, tends to evoke a certain picture: the woodsman
in the tinfoil hat, the hysteric with the hoard of beans, the
religious doomsayer. But in recent years, survivalism has
expanded to more affluent quarters, taking root in Silicon
Valley and New York City, among technology executives,
hedge-fund managers, and others in their economic cohort.” We
have always taken exception to the mainstream media’s
portrayal of the ordinary gold owner as “the woodsman in the
tinfoil hat”. . . etc. Many among the media are utterly amazed
to learn that people like Steve Huffman (Reddit, CEO), Peter
Thiel (PayPal founder), and the long roster of other
luminaries mentioned in this New Yorker article are identified
as “preppers” in one capacity or another...

Bullish Copper Narrative Continues to Build Rick Mills
Without copper, the electrification of the global
transportation system and the decarbonization of energy cannot
happen. Will there be enough copper for future electrification
needs, globally? And remember, in addition to electrification,
copper will still be required for all the standard uses,
including copper wiring used in construction and
telecommunications, copper piping, and copper needed for the
core components of airplanes, trains, cars, trucks and boats.
The short answer is no, not without a massive acceleration of
copper production, and exploration, worldwide. Unlike the
previous super-cycle, which depended on China, the next
structural bull market will be driven by spending on green
energy, for which copper is a key ingredient...

Have The Global Markets Already Reached A “Critical Mass” Chris
Vermeulen
A recent Forbes article suggesting global market leverage had
reached new all-time highs prompted me and my research team to
begin to explore the question of whether “global markets
already reached a critical mass in terms of post-COVID-19
recovery”? If this is true, what would it mean for the rest of
2021 and into early 2022?...

Three Reasons Why Waiting for "Cheaper Silver" Doesn't Make
Cents David Smith
As mentioned above, we're well into a structural ongoing
supply decline -- made worse because most silver used in
modern applications is not recoverable, and is thus lost for
reuse. The trickle of additional new silver production coming
online is simply not going to change this anytime soon.
Slammed against this drop is a sea wave of new demand from
both investors and industry. Like palladium, which went
through the same supply demand alteration (deficit) on a
smaller scale, the result before long is going to be an upside
price explosion. Also, whether or not you believe in
"conspiracy theories," silver, unlike any other commodity on
the board has, for the past few decades been massively
"manipulated" by short sellers who push paper silver
derivatives into the market in order to keep the true price
well below where, all things considered, it should be...

MER Misleads Investors When Choosing Mutual Funds Nick
Barisheff
Articles in the media often recommend that investors avoid
mutual funds with high Management Expense Ratios (MER), which
they frequently confuse with the management fee. The
management fee is often used as the key determinant when
making an investment decision, but the MER is an even broader
measure of all the costs of the fund to the investor. Using
MER to select mutual funds is misleading advice that will not
yield the best results for investors. Since all performance is
measured net of MER, it is best to simply choose funds that
have the best performance regardless of the MER....

The People Have the Power Craig Hemke
There are many of us "keyboard warriors" who believe that the
current fractional reserve and digital derivative pricing
scheme is unfair and rife with fraud. There are also a handful
of system apologists who claim that the current scheme is fair
and equitable and that silver is abundant. Well, there's one
way to find out. Let's do this. If you regularly read these
weekly columns, then you'll recall this post from last week.
If not, please read it now before you continue: A Time to
Fight Back. In summary, it's time to get to The Truth, and
we the people have to power to uncover it. The pricing scheme
has endured for decades, and the alchemy that drives it has
left in its wake a system where no one knows for certain how
much physical gold and silver exists with clear, undisputed
title...

Gold Price Support: A Call To Arms Stewart Thomson
5.) Since arriving at my important buy zone of $1671,
technical green shoots for gold continue to appear. 6.) While
gold is often soft on Tuesdays, that’s just short-term noise.
A rally to $1820-$1850 looks likely. 7.) In the short-term, a
spike in corona virus cases in India is likely to put a damper
on imports in the physical market, but the Chinese central
bank appears ready to resume its monthly gold buy program. 8.)
Once the corona case spike ends in India, the physical market
is likely to overwhelm any childish selling by leveraged
gamblers in the American paper market… and then gold is likely
set to challenge the big resistance zone of $2000...

New and Existing Home Sales: Fact vs Spin Dave Kranzler
Existing home sales, reported last Thursday, were down 3.7%
from February (down 6.3% in February). Wall St was thinking
they would rise 0.8%. The seasonally adjusted annualized sales
rate dropped to 7-month lows. The reason for struggling
existing home sales is three-fold. First and most obvious is
rising mortgage rates. If the Fed had not been throwing at
least $80 billion per month at the mortgage market, mortgage
rates would have been rising since last April and would be
much higher than current mortgage rates. This would have
prevented the double digit housing price inflation of the last
12 months, which to a large degree is starting to “freeze”
housing market activity...

Financial Sector Appears Ready To Run Higher Chris
Vermeulen
Today, we are revisiting a recent research article suggesting
the Financial Sector may be poised for another rally trend
targeting the $38.00 level first, then the $39.40 level based
on our research. The financial sector continues to trend
higher after the COVID-19 market collapse. Global central
banks and government policies are very accommodating to
stronger earnings and growth in the Financial sector.
Recently, the US Government passed a new COVID stimulus bill
that allocates money for at-risk borrowers to help elevate
foreclosure actions. It is very likely that these continued
actions to support a stronger US and global recovery will
translate into higher price trending in the Financial sector
as we move into the Summer months – where weather and Summer
activities push people back outside and into more active
lifestyles...

When The Market Unravels There Will Be “No Place To Hide”
Adam Taggart
Few people alive understand how Capitol Hill and Wall Street
work better than former Congressman and financier David
Stockman. Our friend Adam Taggart sits down with David to
discuss how he is deeply concerned that our current political,
monetary and fiscal policies are setting the stage for an epic
breakdown in the economy as well as the financial markets.
Risk is being grossly mispriced right now. Asset prices are
being distorted into ridiculously dangerous territory by
investors caught up in a flood of cheap liquidity as well as a
widespread speculative mania. Of the blizzard of warning
signals that reflect this, here’s a gem — never before have so
many money-losing companies been valued so richly...

Market Leverage Reaches New All-Time Highs Chris Vermeulen
A recent Forbes article highlights the incredible increase in
market leverage since the start of the COVID-19 crisis. There
has never been a time in recent history where market leverage
has reached these extreme levels. Additionally, highly
leveraged market peaks are typically associated with asset
bubbles. The easy money policies and global central bank
actions have prompted one of the longest easy money market
rallies in history. Historically low interest rates, US
Federal Reserve and global central bank asset-buying programs,
and extended overnight credit support have prompted some
traders and investors to move into a more highly leveraged
position expecting the rally to stay endless. Although, the
reality of the global market trends may be starting to cause
traders and investors to become a bit unsettled. Precious
Metals, Utilities, and Bonds have all started reacting to
perceived fear related to this extended bullish rally trend
recently...

The 5 Realities About Silver—And What They Signal Is Ahead
Jeff Clark
As a thought exercise, what if I told you the silver price was
going to peak at $85 an ounce? Too low, right? But what if I
told you that at $85 you could buy a house with just three
mints cases of silver Eagles (or Maples Leafs, etc.)? That’s
exactly what silver investors were able to do in January 1980.
At the peak of the market, silver investors could buy an
average-priced home in the US with just 1,464 ounces. Since
silver is money, it’s what you can buy with it that separates
this hard asset from most other investments. There’s another
advantage: when ratios like this one reach historic
lows—regardless of what the silver price may be at the time—it
may be time to consider exiting. No, I don’t think this ratio
bottoms at $85 silver. There’s far too much currency abuse for
it to peak at that level. But instead of focusing on the
price...

Gold’s Perfect Storm Rick Mills
Gold may have seen a pullback since the heady days of last
summer when it was trading around $1,800, $1,900, even
crossing over $2,000 briefly, but a perfect storm for gold is
brewing once again. Let’s look at the facts. On the supply
side, we have mined gold supply unable to keep up with demand
— without recycling jewelry. Peak gold was reached in 2019 and
output continues to lag. Last year the amount mined fell 6.5%
and this year it’s predicted to fall 3%. Where I live that
means a 9.5% decline over two years. On top of this, the
reserves of the major gold mining companies are depleting, and
there is a dearth of new discoveries to replace them. Any
junior gold company with a decent-sized, scalable deposit will
surely be the belle of the ball as far as attracting potential
acquirers or joint-venture partners...
