Via SchiffGold.com,
Gold has pushed much higher in recent weeks, breaking through the $1,400 level and holding. Silver has also rallied and has started to close the gap with
the yellow metal. In a recent podcast, Peter Schiff said we are seeing
signs that the investment world is starting to catch on. The psychology has shifted and investors are started to realize that the gold bull-run is for real. ここ数週ゴールドは更に値を上げた、$1,400を超えて根固めをしている。シルバーもまたリラーを続け、これまでのゴールドとのギャップを埋め始めた。最近のポッドキャストで、Peter schiffはこう述べた、我々は投資の世界で起き始めた変化の兆候を認識し始めた。心理は変化し、投資家はゴールドブルを現実のものとして認識し始めた。
A lot of it has to do with the anticipation of more easy money from the Federal Reserve.
Fed-speak continues to boost anticipation of an interest rate cut. The
only thing dampening expectations is the possibility of higher
inflation. Peter said that doesn’t matter. Inflation or not, the Fed is
cutting rates.
Last week, Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida said, “You don’t want to wait until data turns decisively,” before cutting rates. Meanwhile, New
York Federal Reserve President John Williams said the central bank
shouldn’t leave a lot of dry powder in the keg. It should fire its
bullets at the first sign of trouble. As Peter noted, the Fed used to claim to be “data-dependent.” 先週FEDの副議長Richard Claridaがこういった、金利引下げ前に「確実なデータをえるまで待つことはない。」。それと同時にNew York FED議長 John Willamsはこういった、中央銀行は火薬庫にたくさんの弾薬を残すべきではない。問題の兆候が見えると弾を打つべきだ。Peterが言うには、FEDはかつては「データ依存」と言っていた。
Why is the Fed so anxious to cut rates now?
FEDはどうして現在金利引下げを心配するのだろう?
Obviously, the reason is the Fed is so afraid of the next recession
that they just want to do whatever they can to try to postpone that
recession from happening. It’s not like they can stop it, but they want to postpone it. And the reason is because the Fed knows there’s nothing they can do, that basically, their chamber is empty anyway. So,
you might as well shoot what you’ve got left because there’s no way
they have enough firepower to deal with this recession the way they have
been doing it. They can’t blow up a bigger bubble.
They don’t
have enough room between where rates are now and zero. And the amount of
quantitative easing that would be required to monetize the enormity of
the coming national debt is going to produce the overdose. So, all these clowns can think of is we’ve got to postpone this no matter what.”
Gold sold off a bit of its gain earlier in the week after the
consumer sentiment numbers showed a bigger expectation for inflation.
Peter said this led to the same old “brainless trade” we’ve seen over
and over based on the notion that inflation is bad for gold and good for
the dollar. The mainstream believes the Fed will adjust its policy if
inflation starts to rear its head and that will put the kibosh on rate
cuts. Peter said this isn’t the case. The consumer is right to expect
more inflation. In fact, Peter thinks we’ll get a lot more than they
expect. But the traders are wrong to expect the Fed to do anything about
it.
They’re not going to do anything about it. They’re going to
cut rates no matter how high inflation goes because they can’t stop it.
But if they raise rates, they’re going to create in their minds a
problem that is worse than inflation.
So, they would rather have inflation than the opposite, or what would be required to stop inflation, which would be a
massive financial crisis because they have to raise interest rates and
let this entire house of cards economy that they built on a foundation
of cheap money – watch the entire thing implode.”
Higher inflation is not going to be seen as bad for gold. In
fact, higher inflation is why people should be buying gold. The more
inflation, the more gold you need to buy. So ultimately, higher
inflation numbers, higher inflation expectations are going to be bought
when it comes to gold, not sold.”
The opposite is true for the dollar. The mainstream only thinks
inflation is good for the dollar right now because it believes the Fed
will rush in and defend it. Peter said that’s not going to happen. That
means the dollar will be losing value.
Peter noted that even as the price of gold dips with the daily market
ebb and flow, investors are still buying gold stocks. And as he noted
last week, silver is starting to play catch up.
Now we have all the elements that we need of a gold bull market. Before,
the problem was gold was going up by no one believed it. That’s why
silver was still going down. That’s why nobody was buying gold stocks,
because everybody expected gold to fall. People were just so
conditioned to believe that the rallies would be sold that they couldn’t
believe the breakout, so there was a lot of skepticism. We were climbing this little wall of worry. But now we’re breaking down that wall.
Now we have silver outperforming gold and we have gold stocks outperforming the metal. That’s what happens in every bull market. Silver leads gold and stocks lead the metal. That’s what we’ve got all three firing on all three cylinders. That’s it. The market is going higher. People need to get in. They need to buy physical gold and silver.”
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...

Gold Stocks Surge Higher Adam Hamilton February 22, 2019 2932 Words The gold miners’ stocks surged strongly this week, blasting to new upleg highs. The mounting gains are naturally driving more interest in this small contrarian sector, shifting sentiment towards bullish. Despite their accelerating rally, gold stocks still remain fairly low technically and deeply undervalued relative to gold. So their strengthening upleg likely has plenty of room to run considerably higher in coming months. 今週金鉱株は力強く上昇し新高値となった。上昇が積み上がりこの小さなコントラリアンセクターはさらに注目を集めている、これが心理を強気なものにする。ラリーが加速するが、金鉱株はテクニカル的にはまだ安値で、対ゴールドでとても過小評価されている。というわけで力強い上昇は今後数ヶ月まだかなりな上昇余地がある。 The gold miners’ stocks are ultimately leveraged plays on gold, which overwhelmingly drives their profits. The much-maligned yellow metal has enjoyed a strong upleg since mid-August, when record gold-futures s...
一定のエネルギーが外部から流入する系ではその流入量が普遍一定でも、散逸構造、自己組織化をすることが知られています。散逸構造では空間時間的な周期構造が生じます。たとえば隔離された無人島にうさぎときつねを放した場合、時間とともに均衡値に近づきますが、完全な定常状態にはならずその前後で周期的な変動が起きます、うさぎを捕食しすぎてが減るとキツネの食料が減りキツネの個体数上昇には限界が生じ、その後うさぎの個体数が増えます。うさぎの数もその島の植物総量に限界があります。 株式市場にも30年前後のバリュエーション変動があります。管理人はこの原因はたぶん投資家の世代交代に起因するものだと感じています。多くの人の投資寿命は30年前後です。私を含めて現在投資をしている人は英國や日本で政府債務解消のための金融抑圧など記憶にもないでしょう、学校の歴史でも教えてくれません。あの米国でも金本位制のなかで国民からゴールドを強制買い上げし、ゴールド価格を改定したり個人がゴールド保有を長年禁止していたことを多くの人は知らないでしょう。少なくとも私は学校の歴史で習った覚えがありません。 また大統領任期に関連した8年前後の変動があります、政党は政権を維持するために選挙に向けて財政刺激策を行いますが選挙後にはこれが息切れします。大統領選挙前数ヶ月の株価動向と選挙結果、民主共和転換、の相関は90%を超えています。トランプのときもそうでした、YellenはFRB議長としては珍しい熱心な民主党員で、FEDバランスシート正常化の先送り、二回目の金利引き上げの先送りをしたのですが、2016年秋には株価が徐々に下落してしまいました。 次に短いのが1年の変動で気候に関する人の気分や新学期・新年度に関するものです。もっと短いのが週間の変動で、月曜や金曜は特異的な動きをします。こういう繰り返しは左の参考図書「市場のサイクルは永遠に」に解説されています。 Are We In A Secular Bull Market?

最後の2段落だけ訳をいれておきました。 Fed’s Risky QE4 Stock Ramp Adam Hamilton January 31, 2020 3567 Words The US stock markets dramatically surged mostly in a straight line since mid-October. This extraordinary rally started when the Federal Reserve announced it would resume expanding its balance sheet for the first time in years. The deluge of new liquidity from that quantitative-easing bond buying has again acted like rocket fuel for stock markets. After shooting vertically they are in real trouble when the Fed pulls back. In early October the flagship US S&P 500 stock index (SPX) slumped to 2888. That was a mild 4.6% pullback from late July’s latest record high. The SPX was still having a great year though, up 15.2% year-to-date at that point thanks to extreme Fed easing . After the SPX had plunged 19.8% mostly in Q4’18 in a severe near-bear cor...
