Gold Daily And Silver Weekly Charts – How Sweet It Is
“After spending many years in Wall Street and after making and losing millions of dollars I want to tell you this: it never was my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting. Got that? My sitting tight! Those who can both be right and sit tight are uncommon. I found it one of the hardest things to learn.” Jesse Livermore I had such a feeling that these jokers were going get stuffed on the usual Non-Farm Payrolls precious metals hit I cannot even describe it.

The Future Of The IT Bubble And CIO In The Age Of Cloud And Mobile
There’s something wrong with IT. Most business people are frustrated because IT can’t even understand their issues, let alone solve them. “IT organizations somehow forget that people come before technology,” says Jonathan Feldman. “Like a raging infection in the corporate body, IT is continually at war.” Feldman, a CIO himself, believes there’s something wrong with any department that seems to have a male dominance. It suggests an elitism, an anti-collaborative stance. IT has long been tolerated as a costly, but necessary line item, but that may be changing. Businesses are under pressure to deliver results and they have lit... -

4 Industrial ETFs In The Limelight On Mixed Q4 Results
Most of the industrial bellwethers have reported mixed results for the fourth quarter of 2015. Amidst global growth slowdown, while a few have managed to report better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings, most of them have reported a year-over-year decline in revenue. Revenue weakness was widespread among the industrial players.

The woes intensified thanks to reduced spending, plunging prices for crude oil and persistent China troubles. Below we have highlighted in greater detail... -

Looking ahead, aging Baby Boomers and technological advances should ensure that healthcare spending will grow faster than the economy for at least the next decade. Thus, income investors should have some holdings in this important sector, if only as a hedge against their old-age medical expenses. Of the healthcare sector’s 2014 spending, $972 billion went to hospitals, $604 billion to physicians and clinical services, $298 billion to prescription drugs, $156 billion to nursing care facilities, $114 billion to dental ... -

Growth is slowing. Nationalism is rising. Financial markets, meanwhile, are a hot mess. This chart showing the rise of negative-yielding government bonds speaks volumes. That’s $5.5 trillion in bonds that investors must pay to own! Central bankers are once again up to no good. (You could say they never truly stopped.) Legendary investor Bill Gross summed it up in his February Investment Outlook: They all seem to believe that there is an ... -

Everybody Hopping On Gold Bandwagon, But Signs There All Along
The mainstream world of economics and investment has the attention span of a 12-year-old hopped up on sugar. A couple of months ago, it was all doom and gloom for gold. The Fed was talking interest rate hikes, government spokespersons were claiming victory over the recession, and mainstream analysts were hastily pounding nails in gold’s coffin. Cancel the wake, because today everybody has turned bullish on gold with the price up more than 9% since New Year’s Day. A headline at CNN Money earlier this week boldly proclaimed, “Gold is 2016’s most beloved asset.” The story highlights the more than 10% gain in the price of gold since its...
