With tightly clenched fists, market pundits, analyst and investors eagerly awaited the news from Jerome Powell, the current FED Chairman.
What had the markets once again on edge is whether or not the FED will continue down its path towards calamity and once again go against the markets wishes and short term interests, raising rates.
Throughout the course of 2018, I wrote a series of articles highlighting how the FED could and perhaps even may want to bring the economy crashing to a halt.
The reasons for this are many, but the most obvious is their opposition of President Trump, whom has made it crystal clear that he is not a fan of the Federal Reserve, sparring constantly with them.
Trump, much to the dismay of many of his supporters has tied himself with an anchor to the movements of the markets.
This has worked out fabulously for him as new all time highs were achieved, but as we have recently seen, not so well with the recent gyrations the market is experiencing.
The "hawkish" approach that the FED has recently adopted has confused those who are unable to see what is happening, and angered others who wish they would simply leave the market to its own devices, unhindered by their meddling. ...Click here to read the full article:

The economic roller-coaster of booms and busts, that we're all forced to ride, is a creation of the Socialistic institution called The Federal Reserve.
By manipulating interest rates and by generating money out-of-thin-air, the Fed creates an artificial boom. Everything artificial must ultimately return to reality. The sooner the return, the better.Click here to watch the video and read more:

Heard this time and time again throughout the years. Bitcoin is far from finished. Wait and see.

Sadly, cryptos were incredibly overbought this time last year. We are experiencing a massive hangover. But still, the day will come when it rises in strength once again.

The banking elites, so they can replace it with their own corrupt version.

I don't believe in the short term, however, Bitcoin is undoubtedly going to rise again. Its will return to the spotlight, eventually.

Back in the early days, everyone used Bitcoin. To me, those were golden years.

Money manager Michael Pento says things are going to get much worse from here. Pento explains, “They understand when the stock market goes down, consumption and the wealth effect crumble, and the economy is going to falter.
So, they are going to have to pursue a radical inflation goal. ” So, what is going to happen to the price of gold and silver?
Pento says, “When they do this and they (the Fed) have to change and go from draining its balance sheet and admit that they have permanently monetized $4.5 trillion of debt, and they will only be able to increase the size of their balance sheet and never be able to drain it and never be able to raise interest rates.
Gold and silver that has long been suffering are going to rip higher like they have never done before. Gold and silver and the mining shares are going to go like a rocket ship, higher.
If I was a poor guy or a rich guy who wanted to preserve his purchasing power, I would be buying physical gold and silver, and mostly gold.”Click here to watch the video and read more:

Legendary investor, author, and Austrian Economist Peter Schiff was one of the economists who warned of the sub-prime crisis. BEFORE it happened.
So we're fortunate that he was kind enough to join Inside the Markets to let our viewers know how the next crisis is going to unfold, and what investors would be well-served to do before it happens.
Peter talks about the impact of the swelling supply of unsold homes, how it remains a mystery as to who will buy the U.S. debt, and the ongoing debate between President Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve.
So if you were caught off guard the last time Wall Street collapsed and want a different outcome this time around.Click here to watch the video and read more:

Somebody out there apparently does not want President Trump to make a trade deal with China. Just after U.S. and Chinese officials agreed to suspend the implementation of new tariffs for 90 days, one of China’s most important tech executives was literally kidnapped as she was changing planes in Canada.
Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou was simply on her way to Mexico, but at the urging of U.S. authorities the Canadians grabbed her and are refusing to let her go. Reportedly, the plan is to extradite her to the United States where she will apparently face charges relating to Huawei’s evasion of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
When Trump was negotiating face to face with the Chinese, he was not aware that this was taking place. So now all of Trump’s hard work is out the window, and our relations with the Chinese are probably the worst that they have been since the Korean War.
If U.S. authorities wanted to punish Huawei, they should have just slapped a big fine on them and have been done with it.
The Chinese would have been annoyed, but not that much damage would have been done.
But kidnapping a high profile member of Chinese tech loyalty and throwing her in prison is something that the Chinese will not forgive...Click here to read the full article:
