Craig Hemke joins me to look ahead to next week’s Fed meeting and most likely rate hike. 4 of the last 5 times gold the rate hike has put a bottom in the gold price and resulted in a nice rally. The questions we leave you all with is how many rate hikes so you think we will see this year?

We also look at the Larry Kudlow’s recent comment to sell gold and buy “king dollar”. We discuss the rational behind this comment and if the market will take notice.

    Kudlow is nothing but an annoying mouthpiece. Remember his history? Head Economist at Bear-Stearns. Remember them? Bought out by JPMorgan for $10 a share from a previous high of $120-30. Bear Stearns was short thousands of contracts of comex silver. Maybe Kudlow was part of that recommended holding. He fits this administration perfectly……
    Mortgage rates are still headed up somewhat and are beginning to have an affect on sales of homes. Might handle another 1/2 % but after that, it just eliminates too many buyers. IMO

    Kudlow might be right. The dollar looks like it will get a nice bounce right here. And gold looks like it will get hit along with the general markets. BBands have tightened up on almost everything. There are some big moves on many asset classes starting in the next week or two.

    It is my belief that if something “can’t” happen, it won’t happen.

    With a US national debt in excess of $20 trillion there is a point in interest rates at which even the pretense that the debt is serviceable becomes obviously false.
    The US Government has already been going (foolishly, in my opinion) to shorter and shorter terms for its debt, in order to reduce interest costs.
    Thus the point at which the US is forced to stop raising rates approaches quickly.

    How soon depends on how quickly the US can allow a drop in dollar purchasing power.
    Forcing inflation to reduce effective borrowing costs versus rebellion by society at the polls is a tricky balance, which the Federal Reserve will get wrong. The joke, however, will be at the expense of average Americans, because both political parties are controlled by unproductive, lying, thieving scum.
