I’ve written for some time about a bottom being put in for gold and silver in December 2015. However, the renewed bull market has not been recognized. So, just what will it take for the metals to move up strongly enough so that they will again gain investors’ attention?

Now, they’re strongly suggesting a
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently changed its projection for fiscal year ending September 30 to show a deficit of $506 billion. Despite the national debt now being north of $17.6 TRILLION and having doubled since Obama took office, statist economists, columnists and apologists immediately praised the $506 billion number.
