1. Where are the populist government leaders who are cutting their outrageous government debts?
2. The answer, unfortunately, is that they do not exist.
3. Citizens riot in France over insane fuel taxes, central bankers resign in India, markets crash in America, and England’s citizens watch their Brexit turn into an overpriced wet noodle.
4. None of this fazes the world’s populist leaders. They believe they alone can fix what debt broke… with more debt!
5. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge. In the middle of all the mayhem and madness, the uncrowned queen of the world, gold bullion, sits cooler than a cucumber.  Gold is showcasing a nice steady uptrend on this medium-term price chart.
6. Please click here now. Heavyweight analysts at JP Morgan, Goldman, Wells Fargo, and other big banks are bullish on gold now, but many amateur analysts and investors are worried (with some sounding outright terrified) that gold is going lower.
7. This is a classic wall of worry rally, and I expect the upside price action to accelerate in January and February.
8. There’s also a real possibility that Trump piles on more destructive tariffs by March. If that happens, it would occur just as Chinese New Year gold buying really accelerates.
9. In that scenario, gold could surge towards the key $1400 area and the US stock market would likely crash like it did in 1929.
10. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge.  Investors must keep their eye on the big picture, which is all about the growth of the Chindian love trade and the rise of inflation, especially in the West.
11. A new pillar of gold bullion demand could also emerge now that India’s populist leader (Modi) has essentially taken control of the nation’s central bank. A fresh survey shows that 90% of Indian households see substantially higher inflation coming in 2019.  That survey was done before the nation’s top central banker resigned yesterday!
12. The world’s populist leaders want interest rates to stop rising so their governments can borrow even more money and waste it on silly “people helper” programs.
13. Some of the populist leaders want to buy more bombs, some want more welfare programs, but what they all have in common is they want to spend more, and more, and more! This is highly inflationary.
14. Please click here now. While many amateur gold analysts have talked about their fear of lower prices, I’ve urged investors to focus on the epic upside breakout taking place on the world’s most important gold mining company. That company is: Barrick.
15. Junior gold and silver stock enthusiasts can expect to see their stocks begin to follow the Barrick leader. It’s already happening with many of the CDNX-listed stocks, and this morning’s pre-market “super surge” in Barrick’s price is going to start the next major wave higher for most of the junior miners.
16. What seals the deal? Answer: A weekly close above $14 for Barrick.  I expect it to happen this week and investors who waste time reading the fears of the gold bears risk missing out on years of upside price action.  The bottom line:
17. This is not the start of a gold bull market. It’s the start of a bull era that will last a hundred years.
18. I’ve predicted three U.S. rate hikes for 2019. Goldman was predicting four, but yesterday their chief economist Jay Hatzius reduced his forecast to three.
19. We’re on the same page now, with both of us predicting three hikes, a surprising rise in U.S. inflation, and GDP growth that fades under the 2% marker by the second half of 2019.
20. Ray Dalio is head of the world’s largest hedge fund (Bridgewater). Ray predicts an “inflationary depression” will envelop America within about two years.  I think it takes three to four years, but given the danger, does the time frame really matter?  The timing of a hurricane doesn’t change the fact that people need to get out of its way.
21. On that note, please click here now. Just as most big bank analysts are positive about gold now, they have increasingly negative forecasts for the U.S. dollar.
22. The policies of the world’s “spendaholic” populist leaders are extremely inflationary. The bank analysts know that’s bad news for dollar bugs and great news for gold stock investors.
23. Please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this magnificent GDX price chart. My short term guswinger.com swing trading service has caught all the key swings in the GDX base formation, reducing boredom while making investors richer!  I focus on NUGT and DUST for the short term moves and unleveraged GDX for the home run plays!
24. We booked solid profits yesterday as GDX edged towards the important $20.50 price zone. After a brief pitstop at this minor resistance zone, the GDX bull is poised to drive its golden horns into the bears… and begin a magnificent charge up to $23.50!
