Chris Vermeulen: The past couple months have been a roller coaster ride for investors and traders. Overseas headline news has made investing and trading more difficult than normal because Read more…
Larry D. Spears: The U.S. dollar is currently on an upswing – but don’t let it fool you. What we’re seeing is only a short-term rally inspired by Europe’s travails.

Przemyslaw Radomski: We have all seen the newspapers headlines about the troubles in Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and the entire eurozone. The situation in the U.S. is not much better, even if the press is ignoring it for the moment. In both blocks there is high debt Read more…

Keith Fitz-Gerald: By all accounts, the U.S. dollar should be the functional equivalent of a Zimbabwean bill. The Fed has pumped trillions into the worldwide financial system as part of misguided stimulus efforts that should be incredibly inflationary. Read more…

Keith Weiner: The current financial crisis may progress to a phase where people demand and hoard dollar bills but take electronic deposit credits only at a discount which increases until electronic deposit credits are repudiated entirely. The Federal Reserve would be powerless Read more…
Rick Mills: Many have called for very high levels of inflation possibly leading to hyperinflation. Their reasoning is that over printing of the US dollar will cause the dollar to weaken and inflation to set in – more money chasing the same amount, or less, of goods Read more…
Larry Edelson: Right now, I remain bearish most commodity markets. The reason being, they have simply not fulfilled a short-term cyclical test of support. So, more downside is possible in gold (NYSEARCA:GLD), silver (NYSEARCA:SLV), oil (NYSEARCA:USO) Read more…
Jeff Nielson: Gold bears are exuberant these days. Their mood is epitomized by a recent Bloomberg headline: “Gold Erases Year’s Gain as Europe Concern Boosts Dollar” – which was then dutifully parroted by thousands of mainstream drones. Read more…
