Potential For A Big Reversal in Gold Stocks (Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ))

Gold stocks were down another 5 percent but they are still way up on the year but we have seen a significant correction on the speculation that the Federal Reserve might raise interest rates, of course they might not.

We are going to have a jobs report on Friday and if it is really a weak report, all the rate hikes are completely off the table once again. So there is potential for a huge reversal if we get a really weak jobs number.

Markets: The Interest Rate Cycle

Wether or not the Federal Reserve raises interest rates is irrelevant. What is far more relevant is that the rate hiking cycle is either already over or close to an end. It is nowhere near the magnitude that was originally believed by everybody.

Markets: Yellen On Future Asset Purchases

When she talked about future asset purchases programs like another round of quantitative easing, although she did not use the word QE, she talked just about asset purchases, she did suggest that they should expand that beyond U.S. Treasuries and mortgage backed securities that they used the last time and that should have been a very, very negative sign for the U.S. Dollar and positive for gold that he Federal Reserve is now thinking of broadening what it purchases to maybe corporate bonds or muni bonds or maybe they want to buy stocks.

The Fed Is Not Really Considering A Rate Hike

I do not think the Federal Reserve is seriously considering an interest rate hike. They do not want to admit that they are not because they want to keep up the pretense that the economy is strong enough for a hike without actually delivering one.

Markets: Gold Is Going Up, The U.S. Dollar Is Going Down

Even if the Federal Reserve raised interest rates all the way up to 1 percent, that is still not enough to hurt gold and still not enough to help the U.S. Dollar.

So, when are people going to figure out that it does not even matter what the Federal Reserve does because either way the U.S. Dollar is going down and gold is going to go up regardless of the fact that we may have another interest rate hike or even two hikes. This is the end of the tightening cycle. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver ETF (SLV), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ))

Markets: Gold, Gold Stocks & Emerging Markets

I think the Federal Reserve is getting ready to cut interest rates again, launch QE4 and the markets are just starting to figure this out, at least figuring out that the Federal Reserve is not going to raise interest rates.

Now the markets are pricing out all the interest rate hikes that were priced in. That is great for gold, for gold stocks, it is great for emerging markets.

Markets: Get Out Of The U.S. Dollar As Quickly As You Can

My advice is, pay attention to what the Federal Reserve has just said, pay attention to what they are about to do and do something about it. That means getting out of the U.S. Dollar and get into gold and silver as quickly as you can.

Because if I am right and this policy does become official Fed policy next year, the U.S. Dollar is about to fall through the floor and gold is about to explode through the roof. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver ETF (SLV))

The Federal Reserve Wants More Inflation

The Federal Reserve wants more inflation. And what the Federal Reserve is saying is because they do not have room to lower interest rates very much because they are already practically at zero, the way to lower interest rates is to have more inflation so that we have lower real interest rates.

The Federal Reserve Will Go All-In

What the Federal Reserve is about to do will have the effect of basically putting the final nail in the economic coffin of the United States. The Federal Reserve is about to go all in on the failed policies of the past. They have completely misdiagnosed this disease.

Traders Are No Longer Buying What The Federal Reserve Is Selling

Traders are no longer buying what the Federal Reserve is selling. Because even though the Federal Reserve is talking about raising interest rates, the U.S. Dollar went down and Gold went up. People are paying more attention to what the Federal Reserve is actually doing rather than what they they are pretending they are going to do.

Bitcoin Is Just Too Volatile To Be Money

Bitcoin is just too volatile to be money. At best it is just an asset, a speculative asset. It does have liquidity similar to money, you can exchange it.

Ultimately though the value of a Bitcoin may prove to be zero because it does not have any value if people do not want to use it as a medium of exchange or store of value because there is no real value there to store.

Good News Is Bad News When It Comes To The Stock Market

Good news is bad news when it comes to the stock market because the only thing propping up the stock market is cheap money and in order to keep the cheap money flowing the economic news has to be bad.

The Rallies Will Not Be Sustainable

We can get rallies in the stock market but they are not going to be sustainable because the Federal Reserve is going to have to join this party. The Fed will need to come to the aid of the markets with new stimulus. Just delaying the rate hike is not going to do it. They actually need to deliver more stimulus, the Federal Reserve has to be in the game, the Fed has to join the other central banks in providing fresh stimulus. They have to cut interest rates, they have to go back to Quantitative Easing (QE). And until they acknowledge that the markets are never going to be able to make much.
