investmentwatchblog--2020-09-04--The Economy Continues To Unravel Despite All Stimulus Measures

Since the pandemic lockdowns were first implemented in the US I have been more concerned with the government and central bank response than the virus itself .
As I have noted in past articles , the pandemic restrictions and subsequent economic and social crisis events they help to create will cause far more deaths than Covid-19 ever will .
Not only that , but the actions of the Federal Reserve continue to con the American public into believing that there is some kind of “ plan ” to stop the crash that THEY engineered .
The only agenda of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the long term ; they have no intention of actually preventing any disaster .
This is evidenced in comments by voting members of the Fed , including Neel Kashkari who recently argued for the enforcement of hard lockdowns for at least six weeks in the US , all because the US savings rate was going up .
Meaning , because Americans are saving more in order to protect themselves from economic fallout , Kashkari thinks we should be punished with an economic shutdown that would force us to spend whatever we have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how that works ?
Fed members and government officials demand hard lockdowns , depleting public savings and destroying small businesses .
Then , the public has to beg the Fed and the government for more and more stimulus measures so that they can survive .
The people and the system become dependent on a single point of support – fiat money creation and welfare .
Yet , the evidence suggests that this strategy is failing to do much of anything except stall the inevitable for a very short time .
If the goal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the pandemic as much as possible , then the strategy should be to keep the economy as open as possible and let the virus run its course .
By initiating lockdowns , all we are doing is extending the economic damage over the span of years instead of months .
We can deal with the comparatively minimal deaths associated with the virus ; we can not handle the disaster that is about to befall the financial system .
The small business sector appears to be the most fragile element of the economy right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supposed to shore up small businesses failed miserably , with data showing only 13 % to 19 % of applicants getting a loan of any kind .
Over 64 % of small businesses that received a loan are also worried about being approved for loan forgiveness .

Stock tickers are a placebo , a Pavlovian trigger for the public , a tool @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is improving merely because share values are going up .
This is not the case .
Small businesses in the US account for around 50 % of all employment and job creation .
They are a vital part of the economy .
Yet , government and central bank measures seem to have left them out in the cold to die .
To be sure , the $ 600 weekly unemployment enhancement created through the CARES Act passed in March did boost consumer spending , primarily on durable goods such as computers , TVs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ services declined though , which is where the majority of small businesses make their money .
And , considering the fact that most durable goods are manufactured overseas , this means that the majority of stimulus dollars that went to consumers did not go into the US economy , but foreign exporters like China .
Now , the unemployment enhancement has ended and its return is in question .
It will be interesting to see if the boost to purchases of goods will continue without that extra $ 600 weekly stimulus .
Consumer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but this was already a weak print compared to the increases during the previous two months .
Unemployment numbers have declined due to soft reopenings in numerous states , and at the very least some part time jobs appear to be returning , but nowhere near the level needed to erase the millions of jobs lost since February after the initial lockdowns began .
If you count U-6 measurements and unemployed people who have been removed from the rolls for being jobless for too long , the REAL unemployment rate is closer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is essentially Great Depression levels of joblessness .
US GDP has continued to decline by 32 % according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis ( despite statistical rigging by the Fed and government agencies ) , and while it ’ s possible that stimulus slowed the effects of GDP loss , there is no indication what the trillions of dollars created by the Fed have actually bought other than a few months of time and a massive bubble in the stock market .

And , if you want to know what it means when elites in government and central banking call for a “ hard lockdowns ” , just look at Level 4 restrictions in places like Australia and New Zealand , where only one person can leave home at any given time , can only travel 3 miles from home and only for food and supplies , and anyone caught not wearing a mask is subject to arrest or a $ 10,000 fine .

Not only that, but the actions of the Federal Reserve continue to con the American public into believing that there is some kind of “plan” to stop the crash that THEY engineered.
The only agenda of the Fed is to increase the pain in the long term; they have no intention of actually preventing any disaster.
This is evidenced in comments by voting members of the Fed, including Neel Kashkari who recently argued for the enforcement of hard lockdowns for at least six weeks in the US, all because the US savings rate was going up. Meaning, because Americans are saving more in order to protect themselves from economic fallout, Kashkari thinks we should be punished with an economic shutdown that would force us to spend whatever we have been able to save.
Do you see how that works?
Fed members and government officials demand hard lockdowns, depleting public savings and destroying small businesses. Then, the public has to beg the Fed and the government for more and more stimulus measures so that they can survive. The people and the system become dependent on a single point of support – fiat money creation and welfare. Yet, the evidence suggests that this strategy is failing to do much of anything except stall the inevitable for a very short time.
If the goal was really to reduce the pain of the pandemic as much as possible, then the strategy should be to keep the economy as open as possible and let the virus run its course. By initiating lockdowns, all we are doing is extending the economic damage over the span of years instead of months. We can deal with the comparatively minimal deaths associated with the virus; we cannot handle the disaster that is about to befall the financial system.
The small business sector appears to be the most fragile element of the economy right now. The PPP loans that were supposed to shore up small businesses failed miserably, with data showing only 13% to 19% of applicants getting a loan of any kind. Over 64% of small businesses that received a loan are also worried about being approved for loan forgiveness. In other words, of the few small business owners that got a PPP loan more than half do not have the ability to pay the loan back if they end up not qualifying for exemption.
This problem does not seem to be affecting the corporate sector, however. International companies are enjoying incredible cash infusions from the Fed through overnight loans as well as Fed stimulus propping up stock markets (at least for now). Tech companies in particular are enjoying a rush of investment as the assumption in the daytrading world is that the central bank will not allow these companies to fail.
Maybe they are right, but stock markets today DO NOT reflect the health of our system in any way. Stock tickers are a placebo, a Pavlovian trigger for the public, a tool to make people believe that the situation is improving merely because share values are going up. This is not the case.

To be sure, the $600 weekly unemployment enhancement created through the CARES Act passed in March did boost consumer spending, primarily on durable goods such as computers, TVs, cellphones, etc. Spending on services declined though, which is where the majority of small businesses make their money. And, considering the fact that most durable goods are manufactured overseas, this means that the majority of stimulus dollars that went to consumers did not go into the US economy, but foreign exporters like China.
Now, the unemployment enhancement has ended and its return is in question. It will be interesting to see if the boost to purchases of goods will continue without that extra $600 weekly stimulus. Consumer spending rose in July by 1.9%, but this was already a weak print compared to the increases during the previous two months.
Unemployment numbers have declined due to soft reopenings in numerous states, and at the very least some part time jobs appear to be returning, but nowhere near the level needed to erase the millions of jobs lost since February after the initial lockdowns began.

investmentwatchblog--2020-09-04--SPX TO GOLD/SILVER RATIOS EXPLORED – WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT

by Chris Vermeulen of The Technical Traders • A Phase II rally in metals is just getting ready to start .
• Phase II rallies are very explosive and tend to enter Parabolic trends .
• Gold could rally 250 % to 350 % over the next several years .
• Silver could rally 550 % to 750 % over the next several years .
My research team and I started exploring the relationship between the Gold-to-Silver ratio and the S & P 500 to find trends in Metals and the US Stock Markets .
We called the collapse in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2020 , and we believe the current setup in the S & P to the Gold-to-Silver ratio shows the move in Precious Metals is far from over .
If you would like to review some of our earlier research posts , please take a minute to review these posts : May 15 , 2020 : SILVER BEGINS TO ACCELERATE HIGHER FASTER THAN GOLD April 22 , 2015 : IN THREE TO FIVE YEARS GOLD WILL BE PRICELESS PLAYING WITH RATIOS – WHAT CAN WE LEARN The Weekly Gold-to-Silver ratio chart below highlights our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggested the incredible spike in the ratio value was similar to the spike that took place in 2008 .
We identified a Flag/Pennant setup after each spike in the ratio volume and predicted a downward ratio decline would continue – pushing both Gold and Silver higher .
We also suggested that Silver would begin to rally much faster than Gold throughout this move .
METALS MAY RALLY 350 % TO 750 % FROM CURRENT LEVELS Now , with the Gold-to-Silver ratio sitting near 69.50 , we believe another important ratio component has come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ S & P to Gold-to-Silver ratio .
If our earlier research continue to be correct , then the Gold-to-Silver ratio should continue to decline targeting levels near or below 50 at some point over the next 3+ years .
We believe this process may take place in a very transitional global stock market .

As incredible as that may seem , if the SPX500 stays above the $ 2,000 price range and does not decline below @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and global central bank support , then a ratio decline targeting recent historically low levels would equate into an even bigger upside price moves in precious metals .

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS:
A Phase II rally in metals is just getting ready to start.
Phase II rallies are very explosive and tend to enter Parabolic trends.
Gold could rally 250% to 350% over the next several years.
Silver could rally 550% to 750% over the next several years.
My research team and I started exploring the relationship between the Gold-to-Silver ratio and the S&P 500 to find trends in Metals and the US Stock Markets. We called the collapse in the Gold-to-Silver ratio accurately back in March 2020, and we believe the current setup in the S&P to the Gold-to-Silver ratio shows the move in Precious Metals is far from over.
If you would like to review some of our earlier research posts, please take a minute to review these posts:
August 13, 2020: DETAILED 2020/2021 PRICE FORECASTS FOR GOLD & SILVER
May 15, 2020: SILVER BEGINS TO ACCELERATE HIGHER FASTER THAN GOLD
April 22, 2015: IN THREE TO FIVE YEARS GOLD WILL BE PRICELESS
PLAYING WITH RATIOS – WHAT CAN WE LEARN
The Weekly Gold-to-Silver ratio chart below highlights our predictions from late March 2020 where we suggested the incredible spike in the ratio value was similar to the spike that took place in 2008. We identified a Flag/Pennant setup after each spike in the ratio volume and predicted a downward ratio decline would continue – pushing both Gold and Silver higher. We also suggested that Silver would begin to rally much faster than Gold throughout this move.
METALS MAY RALLY 350% TO 750% FROM CURRENT LEVELS
Now, with the Gold-to-Silver ratio sitting near 69.50, we believe another important ratio component has come into play for Precious Metals – the S&P to Gold-to-Silver ratio. If our earlier research continue to be correct, then the Gold-to-Silver ratio should continue to decline targeting levels near or below 50 at some point over the next 3+ years.
We believe this process may take place in a very transitional global stock market. When we suggest this term “transitional”, we are suggesting a very fluid and aggressive global stock market where capital will actively move from risks to opportunities very quickly. As the global environment shifts from stability to moderate crisis over the next 3+ years, we believe more and more capital will attempt to find safety in Precious Metals and other safe-havens.
The one thing that is really starting to concern me is the news and talk that the riots and protests in the US may get much worse over the next 6 to 12+ months. From a technical standpoint, it is very difficult to define technical indicators that attempt to quantify the effect of these riots and destruction to local economies. Although, we do have one technical analysis component to rely upon – price – since it always discounts external factors faster than the news can print stories. Because of this, we believe the new ratios we are sharing with you today are very important.
Please take a look below at our new Monthly ratio analysis of the SPX500 to the price of Gold. We believe this ratio chart highlights how global investors are moving away from safety, shown with rising ratio levels on this chart, and back into safety/metals, shown with declining ratio levels on this chart. Let’s take a look at a bit of history.
From 1981 to the peak in 1999 (nearly 18 years), investors shrugged off risk and piled capital into the US and global stock markets as the Reagan, Clinton, and DOT COM rallies ran back-to-back. The ratio rallied from low levels near 0.30 to high levels near 5.60. This represents a tremendous increase in the global stock market valuations while precious metals languished in a lower/sideways price range. Then, in late 1999 and early 2000, the ratio peaked and began to move downward. That downward ratio trend lasted nearly 10 years in total and produced the $1923.70 peak price in Gold in Sept 2011. The real rally in Gold didn’t begin to accelerate until mid-2005 – nearly 5 years after the peak in this ratio chart.

We believe the current move in Gold and Silver is similar to the 2000~2005 initial impulse move after the peak in 1999 (highlighted in LIGHT BLUE). This impulse move sets up a bigger, more aggressive downside price trend as the rally in precious metals accelerates and moves in a parabolic trend when markets near peaks (highlighted in RED). These aggressive moves are typically 2x to 3x (or more) than the normal precious metals price ranges and can be very explosive in nature. If we are correct in our analysis, the end of 2020, and throughout the next 2 to 3+ years, we may enter one of these explosive price phases in precious metals because of the current setup in this SPX500/Gold ratio pattern.
If the ratio declines from the current 1.78 level to a level near 0.40, this would represent a 77% decline. Our researchers believe this could prompt a 250% to 350% rally in Gold if the SPX500 stays above $2,200 (near the recent March 2020 lows). This would suggest that Gold could rally to levels above $5,500 to $7,500 over the next 3+ years.
Our researchers applied the same ratio analysis to Silver. Comparing the SPX500 to Silver ratio setup similar types of patterns, yet we noticed the impulse move in Silver is often shorter in time as Silver attempts to rally faster than Gold to make up for depressed price levels throughout the rally phase of the ratio levels. Silver, as many of us already know, tends to be the forgotten little brother to Gold.
Our researchers believe the impulse move in Silver has already completed. We believe the next phase of the decline in the SPX500/Silver ratio will begin the real fear move in Silver. This suggests a rally to levels above $36 to $45 fairly quickly – which will be very near to the all-time high of $49.82.
Using similar ratio analysis calculations in the chart below, we believe the upside price target for Silver would target 5.5x to 7.5x current Silver price levels, assuming the ratio level falls to levels below 0.30. That places the ultimate peak level in Silver near $156 to $213. As incredible as that may seem, if the SPX500 stays above the $2,000 price range and does not decline below 2016 lows because of Federal Reserve actions and global central bank support, then a ratio decline targeting recent historically low levels would equate into an even bigger upside price moves in precious metals. The ratio can’t fall to near historic ratio levels unless metals prices rally to levels to offset the advance in the SPX500 price.
As amazing as this may seem for many of you, we want to be one of the first and only research firms to provide technical research to support our predictions. Our past research continues to astound many professionals in the industry. Now, we are making a bold prediction that metals may enter a Phase II rally mode over the next 3 to 6+ months and that new phase may include an incredible parabolic upside price rally.

These are 350% to 750% price rallies in Gold and Silver – they are absolutely HUGE and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The last thing we want you to consider is that each of these research charts suggests these trends and cycles last about 7.5 to 11.5 years (on average). If this trend continues and we are only about 2.5 to 3 years into this current trend, then we have another 5 to 7+ years of upward trending in Gold and Silver before a peak price level may setup.

As impressive as this intervention was , it was NOTHING compared to the one that hit FANG stocks .
The FANG index soared over 3 % when the intervention hit at 11:30AM .
This has been the overall theme since the market bottom in March .
The big FANG stocks continue to rally higher and higher , driven by “ someone ” who wants to drive the markets higher no matter what the real economy is doing .
Take a look at the difference in performance between the FANGs and the S & P 500 .
Why are these same @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is it that every time the market starts to breakdown , the FANGs explode higher ?
Because these are the companies that central banks are buying .
Together these companies account for over 20 % of the stock market .
So if central banks can get them to rally , the rest of the market will follow .
As a result of this , front-running central bank actions , is the # 1 trading strategy going forward .
At the end of the day , it all boils down to what I ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Fed and other central banks are trapped in a vicious cycle through which it INTENTIONALLY creates bubbles to deal with each successive bust .

Stocks exploded higher yesterday with a massive intervention coming around 11:30AM.
As impressive as this intervention was, it was NOTHING compared to the one that hit FANG stocks. The FANG index soared over 3% when the intervention hit at 11:30AM.
This has been the overall theme since the market bottom in March. The big FANG stocks continue to rally higher and higher, driven by “someone” who wants to drive the markets higher no matter what the real economy is doing.
Take a look at the difference in performance between the FANGs and the S&P 500.
This begs the questions….
Why are these same companies outperforming so much?
And why is it that every time the market starts to breakdown, the FANGs explode higher?
Because these are the companies that central banks are buying.
Together these companies account for over 20% of the stock market. So if central banks can get them to rally,the rest of the market will follow.
As a result of this, front-running central bank actions, is the #1 trading strategy going forward.
At the end of the day, it all boils down to what I’ve been saying since 2017… that the Fed and other central banks are trapped in a vicious cycle through which it INTENTIONALLY creates bubbles to deal with each successive bust.

From all the unsettling things we have seen so far in 2020, to witness a massive amount of families having to count their coins to find money to minimally feed themselves is one of the most tragic situations America has undergone over the past few decades. Many Americans were forced to change their lifestyle dramatically, cutting their food budgets due to a lack of income, while many others are now only having one or two meals a day, and demands at food banks around the country are spiking like never before.
Yesterday, Bloomberg has published a report that could only be defined as one of the most devastating situations this country has ever faced. It reveals the struggles of a number of rural workers that expend the day inside plantations amongst an abundant amount of food that they can no longer pay for. Jessica Traxler is one fo these workers. Surrounded by food that she couldn’t afford, and “sitting in a faded-out Chevy sedan one July morning in southern Minnesota, she looked out at corn stalks, lush green, as far as the eye could see.

Grain elevators, poultry yards, cheese plants—all stood just a short drive away,” describes the article authored by Catarina Saraiva, Carolina Gonzalez, and Peyton Forte.
If there is a place that portrays how atrocious America’s hunger problem has become during the sanitary outbreak, it is both sadly and ironically in the middle of the breadbasket that supplies food from coast to coast. It is being projected that the ranks of Americans fighting hunger are going to increase by 45% this year, meaning that over 50 million are likely to face starvation or at least severe food deprivation until the end of 2020.
The story describes that “Traxler, her husband, and six children are among them. She had come to this spot, an empty school parking lot in the town of Mankato, to collect free boxes of food staples: milk and apples and carrots. Hundreds of Minnesotans waited in line ahead of her for hours.“It’s been hard,” she said. “We’ve had to dramatically change how we eat.”
According to Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization, about one-third of those relying on food shelves, large-scale and emergency food distributions at this moment are in such situation for the first time in their lives, just as Traxler and her family, after losing her job due to shutdowns related to the health crisis.

The new mandate, set forth by Contra Costa County District Attorney Diane Becton, makes it tougher to prosecute looting cases in the county, which sits just outside San Francisco.
Investigators must now consider “was this theft offense substantially motivated by the state of emergency, or simply a theft offense which occurred contemporaneously to the declared state of emergency?,” according to the policy reported by local outlet East County Today.
In making that determination, they must also consider five other factors, including “was the theft committed for financial gain or personal need?”

Attorney General William Barr said on Wednesday that people who are “trying to change the rules” of voting methodology ahead of November are “playing with fire.”
In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, the host pointed out to Barr that several states — Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington — already vote primarily by mail.
“This is playing with fire,” Barr said in response. “We’re a very closely divided country here, and people have to have confidence in the legitimacy of the government, and people trying to change the rules to this methodology, which as a matter of logic is very open to fraud and coercion, is reckless and dangerous, and people are playing with fire.”

(Natural News) Many countries in the world were affected by the coronavirus pandemic in more ways than one – India being one of them. With tough times ahead due to an economic downturn, Indians are pawning family gold for some much-needed quick cash.
Delhi resident Jasmine Nair had to sell her family gold in July after their cash ran out. Part of the jewelry she sold to pay for their new house’s construction included the gold bangles her mother gave her during her wedding. Nair said that selling the gold was necessary as there was no other way for them to obtain cash right then and there, adding that the precious metal remained their “last hope for survival” amid the difficulty of obtaining loans.
Meanwhile, Asha Goel and her sister waited for their turn outside a Delhi jewelry store so they could sell the gold bangles their mother gave them more than two decades ago. The sisters would then use the proceeds to support their families and pay for school fees. Goel remarked that their mother bought the solid gold bracelets on her wrist back when gold was a lot cheaper, and she needed to sell them because “these are unpredictable times.”
Even jewelers themselves are experiencing the effects of the pandemic. B. Govindan, a jewelry chain owner, said that he hoped people would come back to buy gold during September and October – the start of the Indian wedding season. But this might not be the case: the number of Indians visiting jewelry stores and holding weddings have dwindled, brought about by a nationwide lockdown and fear of the pandemic.
Currently, the second-largest consumer of gold after China, India has the world’s biggest gold reservoir with more than 25,000 tons in the form of jewelry such as bracelets, nose rings and other ornaments. Older generations pass on gold jewelry and ornaments to the younger ones as heirlooms to keep the family legacy alive, usually in the form of mothers giving these precious accessories to their daughters when they marry.
The “gold for cash” system is here to stay
In addition, Indians see gold as an investment as its liquidity allows them to obtain much-needed cash during lean periods. George Alexander Muthoot, managing director of gold-backed loan company Muthoot Finance, explains that “gold has been the savings and insurance policies for India’s poor.” He added that whenever they need funding, gold can be pawned for quick and easy financing. A piece of jewelry made of the precious metal is usually the last thing the average Indian would consider pawning, more so if it is an heirloom piece. (Related: Investors are shunning the dollar and turning to gold.)
Companies offering gold loans have seen people put gold jewelry as collateral for short-term loans after business and consumer incomes took a dive because of the pandemic. The difficulty of getting new loans from regular lenders who have become more cautious due to the economic downturn has pushed more and more people to sell gold for cash. Nevertheless, some companies have adjusted to this new system.

Manappuram Finance, one of the biggest lending firms specializing in gold loans, expanded its doorstep service to include the whole of India. The service, originally launched last year, involves Manappuram Finance agents visiting borrowers’ homes to pick up, weigh, and estimate the value of gold jewelry they plan to pawn. The agents also approve loans at borrowers’ homes, eliminating the need to go outside and claim the money.
But some people still prefer lining up at pawn shops to sell their jewelry. Padmavati Haripuri, who manages a Muthoot Finance branch in Hyderabad, says there are still people lining up outside of her branch in need of money to pay school fees and medical expenses as they have no incomes and businesses.
Even the Reserve Bank of India has acknowledged the importance of gold-backed loans as an avenue of finance. Reserve Bank of India Gov.

The stock market is tanking today, and President Trump says it’s all because of fake polls suggesting Biden has the lead on Trump, but is that what’s really causing the stock market to drop?
Last week, Fed Chair Powell said the Fed is now going to let inflation run above its 2.0% objective, and yield on the 10-Year Note briefly spiked, but isn’t the actual pressure on yield to the downside with the Fed being the buyer of last (and first) resort, and can interest rates rise gracefully?
There is a lot of pressure for bail-outs coming from corporate America in general, and the airline industry specifically, and a recent poll showed that seven out of ten Americans support another round of Economic Impact Payments, but doesn’t the next round of fiscal stimulus seems to be going nowhere for now?
Steve Mnuchin says estimates of tens of millions of renters being evicted soon are “absurdly high”, and “this is nothing close to the mortgage and housing crisis that we had during the recession”, and yet the CDC is telling landlords that they can’t evict renters through the end of the year?
