The price of gold and silver is set to explode according to one of the most well known CEO’s in the precious metals mining space.

Neumeyer, who has created two billion-dollar companies and recently founded the mineral bank investment firm First Mining Finance, argues that the fundamentals are simply too great to ignore.

Central banks fret stimulus efforts are falling short

from Reuters:
The world’s leading central banks are facing the risk that their massive efforts to revive economic growth could be dragged down again, with some officials arguing for bold new ideas to counter the threat of slow growth for years to come.
A day after the U.S. Federal Reserve kept interest rates at zero, citing risks in the global economy, the Bank of England’s chief economist said central banks had to accept that interest rates might get stuck at rock bottom.
In Japan, where interest rates have been at zero for more than 20 years, policymakers are already tossing around ideas for overhauling the Bank of Japan’s huge monetary stimulus program as they worry that it will be unsustainable in the future, according to sources familiar with its thinking.

Destroying Dimon's Delusionary View Of Economic Realities

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 16:31 While Mr. Dimon's view - "Amerca has the best hand ever dealt right now." is certainly uplifting, it is a bit delusional. But of course, give any person a billion dollars and they will likely become just as detached from economic realities. Does America have "greatest hand ever dealt." The data certainly doesn't suggest such. However, that can change. We just have to stop hoping that we can magically cure a debt problem by adding more debt and then shuffling it between Central Banks.

Mandatory Breathalyzers Could Soon Be In Every Car If Feds Have Their Way

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 15:22 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers is currently working on a plan to put alcohol detection systems in every vehicle. The plan, called Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS), is still in its early stages, and while they are calling this technology “non-invasive” but it tests the content of your blood every time you get into your vehicle, which by its very nature is extremely invasive.

Kremlin Calls For "Action" After Russian Embassy In Syria Hit By Mortar Fire

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 15:20 As Benjamin Netanyahu visits Moscow to discuss the possibility that Russian arms delivered to Syria could end up being funneled to Hezbollah, the action on the ground heats up with the Russian embassy in Damscus coming under mortar fire. The Kremlin has condemned the attack as "criminal" and is now calling for "action." 

"Time's Up" - Government Shutdown Odds Spike To 75%

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 14:44 Two weeks ago, when no one was talking about the possibility of a government shutdown, we warned it was coming. Today, as Politico reports, with very little time left to reach a deal, budget experts project a 75% chance of a shutdown. No matter how immaterial in terms of their economic impacts, government shutdowns create uncertainty and thus influence Fed decisions and as SocGen notes, with the odds of an October liftoff low, a government shutdown could lower them further. Although funding issues should be resolved by the December FOMC meeting, there is a small chance that the fiscal standoff extends into the end of the year (i.e. due to a temporary continuing resolution), creating another deterrent for the Fed.

Economic Collapse Full Frontal: The Brazil Case Study

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 14:21 It's no secret that Brazil was long expected to be the epicenter of any future EM crisis just as it was, in many ways, the picture of EM success during better times. That said, even we’ve been surprised with the pace at which the situation has deteriorated and in the wake of the S&P downgrade the market is now left to ponder just how much worse things can get. According to Goldman the list of obstacles is laughably long.

Why Merrill Is Urging Investors To "Sell The Rallies"

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/21/2015 - 13:08 The technical pattern for S&P 500 and many other US and global equity market indices is sell rallies, according to BofAML's Stephen Suttmeier, who notes that the market is as overbought now as it was in July. Current price action suggests “dislocation” rather than “capitulation” and we continue to see the risk of retest / undercut of the August 2015/October 2014 lows of 1867-1820.

WHAT TO DO WITH ONE’S “MONEY,” PART II

by Andy Hoffman, Miles Franklin:
It’s Monday – and though I’m long past the point where unprecedented, 24/7 money printing, market manipulation, and propaganda “surprises” me, it’s still difficult for my Spock-like brain to process the idiocy our “leaders” exhibit.  Much less, how anyone still take seriously the financial “markets” that, for many years now, have as much semblance of freely-traded, price discovering mechanisms as apples do to oranges.
As you know, last week ended on an extremely sour note – with stocks and commodities plunging following the Fed’s decision to maintain zero interest rates.

Can Gold Make A Run?

by Dave Kranzler, Investment Research Dynamics:

There is no stopping the rise in the price of gold. As long as world Central Bankers continue to increase the quantity of fiat currencies, because Gold’s production is limited, a simple supply and demand equation predicts gold must go higher. – Robert McHugh, McHugh’s Market Forecasting & Trading Report
The Fed may have opened Pandora’s Box with regard to its ability to continue holding down the price gold. From Yellen’s press conference:

Let me be clear that negative interest rates was not something that we considered very seriously at all today. It was not one of our main policy options…But if the outlook was to change in a way that most of my colleagues and I do not expect, and we found ourselves with a weak economy that needed additional stimulus, we would look at all of our available tools. And that would be something that we would evaluate in that kind of context…

Census data shows a record 46.7 million Americans live in poverty

Over 40,000 dollar stores now permeate the United States.
from MyBudget360.com:

Census data is always released in September for the previous year.  As far as comprehensive data goes the Census is one of the best measures that we have.  The latest Census figures merely reflect an economy that is crushing the American Dream.  It also helps to highlight why so many people have profound doubts regarding this so-called recovery.  The latest Census figures show that a record number of Americans now live in poverty.  The total number of Americans living in poverty is 46.7 million.  We also have a large number of Americans working in low-wage jobs and being perilously close to being in poverty.  This is not what people have in mind when we talk about a recovery.  The problem, of course, is the financialization of the system where a massive bull run in stocks simply went to consolidated wealth into fewer hands.  Big banks got bigger while household income reverted back to where it was in 1989.

Why Rick Rule and Eric Sprott Own Gold and Silver

by Tekoa da Silva, Sprott Money
Believe in owning gold and silver now?
Don’t own just any investment in physical bullion, say Eric Sprott and Rick Rule, who prefer the Sprott Physical Bullion Trusts. Shares in these trusts are backed by physical precious metals.
As Rick Rule puts it, “the Sprott products were designed by consumers — in particular Eric Sprott himself — and they came with some fairly user-friendly features like the efficient US tax treatment, physical redemption which limits the discount to NAV associated with them, and of course the liquidity that the Sprott products enjoy.”
