[Energy and Capital logo] Veiled Threats, Murder, and $320 Oil [Christian DeHaemer Photo] By [Christian DeHaemer]( Written Oct. 16, 2018 The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell some 1,500 points since hitting new highs last week. As you can see by the chart, we are well above both the 200-day and 100-day moving averages. The chart shows a double top with support around 23,700. That’s another 1,500 points lower. And if that fails, we could give up 4,000 points. The MACD is still above the zero line, which means the market isn’t oversold yet. The Nasdaq dropped 800 points before it bounced. Gold has moved higher to $1,230 an ounce. And silver is at $14.72... 75 Million Americans to See Their Retirement Ruined 75 million baby boomers are set to retire over the next 10 years. And there’s one thing they all have in common: Their retirement dreams could be destroyed overnight. A market OMEN has just pinpointed December 19th as the day our economy comes to a screeching halt. It’s predicted every recession of the past 40 years and is now indicating a market crash WORSE than 2008. It will wipe out trillions of dollars just in time for Christmas. Yet you still have time to prepare. See THE OMEN for yourself and discover how to [protect your savings here](. 4 Drivers of Doom There are four main drivers of economic growth that are running out of steam. The price of money is going up, as interest rates are at a seven-year high. The price of energy is also going up. WTI crude is at $72. Brent crude is over $80. The amount of money is drying up, as central banks around the world have started pulling money off the table. M2, which measures the velocity of money, has dropped. Less money moving around is bad for the economy. Much of this has to do with a slowdown in real estate loans. And the trade wars are putting sand in the gears of global trade. There's talk again of gold going on a bull run. Bank of America put out a research note: In the short run, the effects of a strong dollar, higher rates dominate. But in the long run, a huge U.S. government budget deficit is pretty positive for gold. That means the Treasury has to borrow more so that puts pressure on rates, which in the short run has not been good for gold. However, in the long run, it basically begs the question, can this go on for much longer? Can the U.S. borrow its way out of the next downturn and at what cost? [Footage reveals America’s biggest gold mine... NOT yet public knowledge]( [nick midas 2](I recently put my boots on the ground at a remote site in Idaho... a place not accessible by typical transportation. And what I discovered has blown away anything I’ve seen in my decade in the gold and resource sectors. This mine is the single biggest in America. Not second or third... but #1. And absolutely NOBODY knows about it. That will all change soon, thanks to a shocking announcement that will launch one 75-cent gold miner to unprecedented new heights. [Click here for the full story.]( Check out this chart that compares debt, revenue, and the deficit: That's not a pretty picture. Someday, that debt will have to be paid down at a higher interest rate. And then the only choice the Fed will have will be to inflate it away. At that point, gold will be the storehouse of value. It's too soon to tell if this is the start of a great sell-off or just an October consolidation. That being said, it seems like investors are too bearish for a cyclical top, as bull markets end in euphoria. But the trade war with China is a wild card. And this deck has more than one joker. The Saudis just threatened global economic repercussions if they are punished for the missing journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. Mr. Khashoggi, an anti-government voice, went into the Saudi embassy in Turkey but never came out again. Haaretz is reporting: The kingdom will respond to any measure against it with bigger measures, the source said, adding: “The Saudi economy has vital and influential roles for the global economy.” “The Kingdom affirms its total rejection of any threats and attempts to undermine it, whether by threatening to impose economic sanctions, using political pressures, or repeating false accusations...” In 1973, after the Yom Kippur War, the Saudis drove the price of oil from $3 a barrel to $12. An equal move today would put oil at $320 a barrel and gasoline over $12. Needless to say, the global economy would come to a screeching halt. But our oil plays would do fantastic.
