An Important Breakout And Vindication For Silver Speculators
Last week, I noted that silver speculators returned to “maximum bullishness” but warned… “Just like the plunge on March 2nd, the key for SLV is the follow-through.

There’s some sarcasm there. Most of the folks surveyed have […]

Congress Panics As US Oil Assets Could Fall Into Russian Hands If Venezuela Defaults
As we noted last night, Venezuela’s state-owned oil company PDVSA made principal and interest payments of $2.2 billion today, avoiding default yet again despite what Vice President Tareck El Aissami called a “ruthless economic war” being waged against the Maduro government. That’s the good news, the bad news is that PDVSA has $62 billion more in principal […]
