2015 Year In Review (Part 2)
by David Collum
As regards the banks, we have come down from the trees but are not out of the woods yet.
 
The six biggest banks are ginormous—50% larger than they were at the previous high at the start of the crisis—but the sector was relatively quiet this year. Hundreds of billions in fines have been levied by various governmental Rainbow Coalitions.
 
As statutes of limitations began to run out, Eric Holder and authorities declared there would be no prosecutions of individuals responsible for the crisis.

Grant Williams: The End Of The Road
by Chris Martenson

Grant Williams returns this week to set the context for this week's FOMC meeting, where the Federal Reserve is widely expected to hike interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. To say he is very skeptical of the Fed's ability to continue to control market forces much longer is a gross understatement.

The Federal Reserve is a serial bubble blower; and it has done it again. As we’ve been saying for a long time (too long, it seems), when this bubble comes apart, massive disruption and economic pain will follow.

Based on recent events, it seems that the time has finally arrived to say: This is it.

It’s done. Put a fork in it. It’s over.

The Screaming Fundamentals For Owning Gold
by Chris Martenson

Every year or two we update this report, which lays out the investment thesis for gold. Here is this year’s version.

Silver is touched upon only as necessary; as a separate report of equal scope is required for that precious metal.

Gold is one of the few investments that every investor should have in their portfolio. We are now at the dangerous end-game period of a very bold but very reckless & disappointing experiment with the world’s fiat (unbacked) currencies. If this experiment fails — and we observe it’s in the process of failing — gold will provide one of the best forms of wealth insurance. But like all insurance products, it only works if you buy it before you need to rely on it.

Using Gold to Protect Yourself In Advance of the Greatest Wealth Transfer of Our Lifetime
 PREVIEW

Executive Summary

  • Calculating the "floor" beneath which gold will likely not fall
  • The coming Great Wealth Transfer, which almost certainly will occur in our lifetime
  • How much to invest in gold
  • How to invest in gold
  • Exit strategies: when will it make sense to sell your holdings? And what should you exchange them for?

The Floor

The one place that I most like to buy something is as close to its replacement value as I can.  And the replacement value for gold is both below its current price of $1,080 and rising steadily. There’s a floor under the price of gold which, like any mined substance, is determined by the cost to get more of it out of the ground.

As has been true for all mining and oil production, the all-in costs of getting gold out of the ground have been rising, and rising sharply, for many years.  Currently the all-in cost to produce gold, across the whole industry, is more than $1,200 per ounce.

 

Today we're seeing lots of signs of obvious distress among gold producers because the price of gold is below their cost of production.  This will cause supply to…
