Private Briefing
with WILLIAM PATALON III, Executive Editor

Wednesday's "Earnings Beat" Makes This The Perfect "Bad-Market" Tech Stock

In last week’s Private Briefing report “Our Experts Show You the Stocks to Pick in a ‘Stock-Picker’s Market’,” Money Map Press Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald identified SanDisk Corp.(NasdaqGS: SNDK) as one of three stocks to buy in the face of the stock market sell-off.

And now we see why…

  • Gold Prices

  • Gold Prices Today Flat After "Flash Crash" Gold Price trends this year
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   January 7, 2014

    Gold prices were little changed at $1,238.80 in early trading today (Tuesday) after falling $30 an ounce Monday in mere minutes.

    Trading in February Comex gold futures was halted for 10 seconds Monday when a suspected "fat-fingered" (aka erroneous) trade sent the contract tumbling more than $30 an ounce in just minutes.

  • Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM) Stock Will Shine Again The Future of Gold Prices
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   January 3, 2014

    Owning some gold has long been a part of the Money Morning investing philosophy. After all, gold offers some insurance against the dollar-debasing policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

    One of the easiest ways to acquire the yellow metal is to buy a gold mining stock such as Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM).

    At first glance, investing in any gold mining stock looks like a lousy idea. Over the past year, nearly all gold mining stocks have plummeted along with the gold prices - but much further.

  • Why the Fed's 100th Birthday Could Be Its Last
    • By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning  -   December 3, 2013
    On December 23rd, the Federal Reserve will turn 100 years old.

    We can look back on its few successes... but its many failures far outweigh any positives it may have achieved.

    What's at stake now is the Fed's future. And it looks bleak.

    In fact, the Fed won't even exist in 100 years...

  • Gold's Shocking New "Pick and Shovel" Play
    • By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning  -   November 19, 2013
    Ever since humans realized the intrinsic value of gold, we've constantly searched for - and perfected - ways to find more.

    From early methods like panning and trenching, to lode prospectors hunting for rock outcrops and veins, to the invention of drill bits...

    In modern times, we use increasingly sophisticated tools and techniques, such as seismic sensors, magnetometry, and gravimetrics to help locate potential gold deposits.

    But, after thousands of years of digging for gold, the low-hanging fruit's already been picked. Most remaining deposits are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and increasingly low grade.

    Now, a surprising, brand-new gold prospecting tool may be in the offing - one that's far less technologically demanding, and much less invasive.

    It seems nature itself has found a way to extract gold from the ground.

  • Gold News: China Poised to Overtake India as Biggest Gold Consumer Gold Price Drivers 2014
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   November 12, 2013
    Demand for gold in China is skyrocketing. Thanks to an enriched and growing middle class, China's gold consumption will reach a record 1,000 tons this year - up a whopping 29% year over year. At this pace, China will soon surpass India as the world's biggest buyer of the yellow metal. Imagine what this will do to the price of gold over the next few years...
  • How to Prepare for the 17% "Supertax"
    • By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning  -   November 12, 2013
    “You never let a serious crisis go to waste… It’s an opportunity to do things you could not do before.” –Rahm Emanuel

    The once unthinkable is quickly becoming probable.

    At some point in the next few years, your assets could well become the target of a “Supertax” as high as 17%.

    Last week, we talked about the need to buy “out of print” assets to protect our wealth from brazen government seizures.

    I explained that quantitative easing (QE) was likely to get bigger, not smaller, and that you needed to become your own central bank.

    The truth is, the writing’s already on the wall. We’ve seen it happen.

    Cyprus’s “bail-in” cost numerous bank depositors more than 47% of their capital.

    Poland’s “pension reform” saw private pensions raided to help lower the government’s debt-to-GDP ratio.

    And Spain plundered its Social Security Reserve Fund to keep buying its own risky debt, when no one else would.

    Dangerous precedents are being set, with chilling regularity.

    More than ever, you need to be prepared… Read More...
  • "Democratize" Gold and Give the Government a Black Eye
    • By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning  -   November 11, 2013
    We all know that, so long as the Fed keeps the printing presses on, the risk of a worldwide currency crisis gets even higher.

    Gold, of course, is the timeless hedge here - for all the reasons you and I know.

    But are we truly prepared for a currency crisis?

    Much of the gold in the United States is owned by big institutions: the Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and bullion banks. So, if a currency crisis hits, their 8,900-ton hoard won't do us a bit of good.

    But there is one country whose "democratic" approach to gold ownership will allow its people to survive a currency crisis, literally, in fine style.

    Not only that, but this country's people are giving their government a whopping black eye for its heavy-handed ways in the process.

    Here's what's going on there...
  • Why Gold Prices Are Down Right Now gold bars 2
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   November 8, 2013
    Inflation and crisis – of which we’ve had plenty – historically drive gold prices up, and yet the London spot price has fallen 24% since Jan. 2. Like the infamous honey badger, gold prices just don’t care. But the reasons for gold’s continued fall, in spite of the apparent decay of the world, just might surprise you. Here’s what’s been dragging gold down...
  • Time to Buy These "Out of Print" Assets
    • By , Resource Specialist, Money Morning  -   November 4, 2013
    From the Editor: We've been tracking this threat for years, ever since Keith Fitz-Gerald brought it to your attention back in January 2010. Today, Resources Specialist Peter Krauth weighs in on some recent developments in this story, because three of the commodities he covers can protect you. The Fed can't print these things... Here's Peter:

    Central banks may have foolish policies, but central bankers are no dummies.

    They know exactly what they're doing. They even comprehend a few of the implications, too.

    Which is why it's interesting that some American central bankers have suggested doing away with the debt ceiling altogether.

    Famed investor Marc Faber recently said, "The question is not tapering. The question is at what point will they increase the asset purchases to say $150 [billion], $200 [billion], a trillion dollars a month."

    Faber expects the Fed's current QE4 to become "QE4-ever."

    That could mean years of money printing and ultra-low rates.

    Even bond king Bill Gross recently chimed in his latest monthly outlook that "The United States (and global economy) may have to get used to financially repressive - and therefore low policy rates - for decades to come."

    Either way, don't depend on the Fed to save you. You can save yourself

    And now you'll need to...
  • Why Gold Prices Are Up Today 20130816_gold-chart
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   October 22, 2013

    Gold moved sharply higher Tuesday thanks to a weaker-than-expected September jobs report - and our country's employment situation is yet another reason why gold prices are up today and will resume their climb...

    Perhaps anticipating a weak number, gold prices began moving higher shortly before the jobs report. Gold moved up $5 to $1,320.80 two minutes before the release.

    Following the report, gold surged.

    Gold soared 3.5% last week after Congress finally reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling -- assuring that the U.S. debt will continue to balloon. But the respite to Washington's budget woes is only temporary, and that has the gold bugs licking their chops. Here's why the next round of budget battles will be good for gold...
  • Investing in Gold and Silver: Interview with an Industry Insider silver
    • By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning  -   October 4, 2013

    It's been a volatile year for those investing in gold and silver.

    Gold is down some 20% year to date, and silver has lost more than 30%. The yellow metal tumbled more than 30% in the three quarters to June as fears mounted of an early end to the U.S. Federal Reserve's bond-buying program.
