Gold Price Forecasts Revised Higher To $1400/oz – Citi Says “Buy the Dip”

by Mark O’Byrne
GoldCore

Gold price forecasts have been revised higher in recent weeks and Citi became the latest bank to revise higher their projections for gold, despite the recent weakness in the price.

[…] Citi Research, the research division of one of the world’s biggest banks, raised its gold price forecast to an average $1,280 in the current quarter, $1,300 in the July-September period, and $1,250 in the final three months of the year.

Citi has become bullish not just on gold but on a large section of the commodities complex, including oil:

“Commodities markets appear to have turned the corner and, led by the petroleum market, are accelerating their price recovery from the lows of the last year, especially since this past January,” Citi said. “While the price increases experienced since early 1Q (first quarter) remain subject to the ‘new normal’ of relatively high volatility, it appears there is no turning back any time soon.”

John Embry: the Next Big Financial Collapse Can Happen at Any Time

by David Kranzler
Investment Research Dynamics

Every day that life goes by and there’s no disruption I consider that a bonus. – John Embry

We are currently sitting on the edge on another housing and commercial real estate market disaster. The financial system was never “fixed” or “reformed.” The banking sins which led up to the big housing bubble crash were merely erased with taxpayer funds and printed money. The laws passed were not designed to protect us from them but to better protect their ability to hide the continuation of the fraudulent banking activities that serve to transfer wealth from the general public to the elitists.

The Fed and U.S. Government have successfully succeeded in reflating the housing bubble. Housing prices have been fueled by low to no down payment Government sponsored mortgages and by the Fed’s near-zero interest rate policy. Go ahead raise rates, Janet, let’s see how quickly you explode the current housing bubble your people have blown.

Brad Friedman: Why to Be Suspicious of Every Election

Electronic voting machines have opened up Pandora’s box

by Adam Taggart
Chris Martenson’s Peak Prosperity

Long an ‘exporter of democracy’ to the rest of the world, there is ample evidence that the United States lacks even the most rudimentary, basic protections necessary to preserve voting integrity within its own borders.

Some of the evidence is circumstantial, some is statistical, and some is pretty direct and clear-cut. Taken together, a pattern that emerges strongly suggesting that ever since voting machines, electronic voting machines were introduced in the United States, we’ve had a string of suspect election results that frankly are not consistent with a free and fair voting outcome.
This week, we’re joined by Brad Friedman, election integrity analyst to understand better the systems and practices currently in place to collect and tally votes in America. As we gear up to elect our next president, it’s clear that numerous concerns exist about the state of ‘free and fair’ voting in our country:

This Is Not The America My Parents Immigrated To In 1957

by James Quinn
The Burning Platform

Not that I remember what America was like in 1957, as I was not yet five years old. Years later, when I was old enough to understand, they told me their story. Briefly, it goes like this.

Dad was born in Romania (Czernowitz in Northern Bulovina), but he identified (haha) as German because, well, his dad was German, his mom was German, they spoke German and kept German customs, and lived in a German community so, applying the “quacking duck” theory, that’s what he was. Mom was born in Yugoslavia (now, Slovenia), but she identified as German for the same reasons as dad did. The Nazi regime would refer to folks such as my parents as “Volksdeutsche” —- being German as a people or race, regardless of citizenship.

The Criminalization of Politics: Hillary Accused of Racketeering by the FBI, Will She be Dumped from the Presidential Race?

by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky
Global Research

In a recent release, the FBI has indicated that it will be presenting a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice:

“James Comey and The FBI will present a recommendation to Loretta Lynch, Attorney General of the Department of Justice, that includes a cogent argument that the Clinton Foundation is an ongoing criminal enterprise engaged in money laundering and soliciting bribes in exchange for political, policy and legislative favors to individuals, corporations and even governments both foreign and domestic.” (quoted by Frank Huguenand, Global Research, May 30, 2016)

There are several possible scenarios which affect the outcome of the presidential campaign.

“Debt, Not The Economy, Reaches Escape Velocity” With Graham Mehl

by Andy Sutton
Market Oracle

One of the biggest buzz-terms of the falsetto, faux recovery has been ‘escape velocity’. If there are any NASA engineers left, they can correct me, but I believe the term was used in physics or perhaps rocket science to describe the velocity an object must reach to break the hold of the Earth’s gravity. And you think Economics has some formulas? I’d LOVE to see the one for the real escape velocity.

Getting back to the economic version of rocket science (don’t even tell me that isn’t funny), we have been hearing the term for the past several years. Ironically it started with the central banking crowdlthough they never quite told us what exactly the economy had to do to accelerate beyond the grasp of the ‘great recession’.

Maybe They’re Quaint, but Some People Do Invest as ‘Some Sort of Movement’

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

“Trading and investing,” market analyst Dan Norcini wrote the other day —

— “are about making wise decisions to attempt to increase your wealth. They are not about joining in some sort of movement. Leave that for those who are more interested in ‘being right about things’ (in their own minds) rather than being successful. Do not forget this.”

June 7: FEMA Will Hold A Drill To Prepare For A 9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake And Tsunami

by Michael Snyder
End of the American Dream

Starting on June 7th, FEMA will be conducting a large scale drill that has been named “Cascadia Rising” that will simulate the effects of a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone and an accompanying west coast tsunami dozens of feet tall. According to the official flyer for the event, more than “50 counties, plus major cities, tribal nations, state and federal agencies, private sector businesses, and non-governmental organizations across three states – Washington, Oregon, and Idaho – will be participating”. In addition to “Cascadia Rising”, U.S. Northern Command will be holding five other exercises simultaneously. According to the final draft of the Cascadia Rising drill plan, those five exercises are entitled “Ardent Sentry 2016?, “Vigilant Guard”, “Special Focus Exercise”, “Turbo Challenge” and “Joint Logistics Over-The-Shore”. The primary scenario that of all of these participants will be focusing on will be one that involves a magnitude 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone followed by a giant tsunami that could displace up to a million people from northern California to southern Canada.

Anti-Brexit Shocker: Economists and Faith Leaders Plot Britain’s Downfall

by Daily Bell Staff
The Daily Bell

Economists overwhelmingly reject Brexit in boost for Cameron … Poll shows 88% of 600 experts fear long-term fall in GDP if UK leaves single market, and 82% are alarmed over impact on household income. – Guardian

Once again, economists remind us that that their profession is at least a questionable one.

Presumably healthy economies are based in private competition not public regulation. Economic progress is made via individual human action.

One person has a product or service and competes against another. And one company against another.

There is room for more than one product or service as consumers have different priorities.

Fake-Rally is Over, What’s Next?

by Jeff Nielson
Bullion Bulls Canada

As explained in another, just-released commentary, Hostage Markets are back for precious metals. This is the term originally coined in 2014, to refer to the absolute choke-hold which the Big Bank crime syndicate has exerted over precious metals, going all the way back to spring of 2011.

At the beginning of this year, this Crime Syndicate chose to stage a fake rally in precious metals markets. The reason for this fake-rally has also already been explained.

1) The Next Crash is imminent.

2) In order to ensure precious metals don’t stand out as a safe haven during the next manufactured crash, the bankers need to crash these markets too.

Should You Sell in May and Go Away?

by Mike Meyer
Daily Pfennig

The stock market is extremely vulnerable to a correction.

At least, that’s what some of the most successful and famous hedge fund managers think.

Take Stanley Druckenmiller, for example. He’s chairman and chief executive officer of the Duquesne Family Office. His hedge fund has generated impressive annualized returns of 30% during his investment career. For that reason, when he speaks, people listen. During his speech at the Sohn Investment Conference earlier this month, he warned investors to be careful about the stock market.

Texas Oil Workers Find Hope in a New Boom

by Adam English
Outsider Club

Sean and Stormy Fravel met in 2012 in Alice, Texas.

If you told them then that they’d be living together in Sean’s truck in a couple years, they’d surely have laughed in your face.

Oil was over $100 a barrel and the two were right in the thick of it. The Eagle Ford shale deposit was teeming with rigs, trucks, roughnecks, and cash.

Sean drove for Halliburton, and did well enough to buy his own 18-wheeler. Stormy joined him and they were making six deliveries a week to oil patches.

Another Real Estate Crash Is Coming: Legendary Market Timer Unloads His Positions: “They’ve Sold Deferred Reality For So Long…”

by Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan

If you haven’t heard yet, median home prices in the United States are on a tear having reached all-time highs in April. To boot, rental prices have gone insane, showing a year-over-year inflationary increase of 8%. On top of that, stock markets are rocketing back to their own all time highs based on the premise that the U.S. economy is seeing healthy growth. By all official accounts, it appears that we’re back on track.

But appearances can be deceiving and highly acclaimed investment guru Sam Zell isn’t buying the hype. In fact, he’s taking this opportunity to sell… in a very big way.

The Shocking Reason Why China Will Send the Price of Silver Skyrocketing Over $100!

from King World News

With so much focus on the West’s massive money printing schemes, here is the shocking reason why China will send the price of silver skyrocketing over $100.

Stephen Leeb: “Whatever your views about climate change, the reality is that the world as a whole is rushing to replace fossil fuels with renewable energies (along with nuclear, which is so plentiful that for all intents and purposes it can count as renewable). And while in recent articles we’ve focused on the forthcoming massive bull market ahead in gold, the transition to renewables will mean at least comparable opportunities for investors in another metal: silver, which is destined to soar into triple-digit territory…

Gold and Silver Aren’t Getting Stronger

by Keith Weiner
Acting Man

The Dollar Increases in Value

The dollar moved up, though most people would say gold fell about $40, and silver 32 cents. In the mainstream view, the value of the dollar is 1/N (N is the quantity). So how could the dollar go up? Certainly, the quantity keeps on increasing.

[…] Our view is different. If you borrow dollars to buy an asset, and the asset doesn’t generate enough yield to pay the interest, you have to sell or default.

It should go without saying that it is an unsustainable Ponzi scheme if everyone keeps borrowing more and more to simply bid up the price of any asset (including gold).
