Jonathan discusses the recent Fed statements and where rates might head in the future based on what happened in 2012.
He explains how you can watch the miners as a leading indicator for gold. In the past, the miners have also signaled some warning signs that could be useful for repositioning.
Manipulation matters, particularly if you're a day trader, but they can't suppress the price over the long term. The late-night raids on gold and silver are highly unusual and difficult to explain by anything other than manipulation.
He discusses the Basel III banking rule changes and how some of them are voluntary. Additional regulations are coming into effect under Basel IV in a couple of years. These are all gradual changes to rules and will have minimal impact on banks' day-to-day operations or metal prices.
With everyone on the inflation side of the trade, a contrarian argument would be to expect some deflation. Jonathan doesn't expect inflation to take off right away since many market forces affect it.
This era of investors is driven mainly by the "Fear of Missing Out" and ideas like finding ten baggers. Instead, investors need to listen to what the market is telling them and learn to manage risk, and it's also important to highlight what can go wrong with trades.
Jonathan discusses why a new gold standard seems unlikely, primarily because of the massive benefits a debt-based system conveys to those in power.
The WallStreetSilver movement has successfully pulled metal off the market and has brought some attention to space. However, it may have scared some weaker investors. He makes some comparisons between palladium and silver.
Jonathan cautions that if you buy something and the price immediately starts tanking, you should consider getting out. Also, you don't want to be overly focused on just one market sector or one particular stock.
Markets generally rhyme, but they're rarely identical. Instead, charts tend to reflect human nature and our emotions of fear and greed.
