What tentative hope had emerged for a rebound for the U.S. restaurant industry at the start of the year, was doused last month when in its February Restaurant Industry Snapshot, TDn2K found that “Restaurant Sales and Traffic Tumble in February” and reported that same-store sales fell -3.7% in February, with traffic declining -5.0% . It did however leave a possibility that things may turn around as a result of the prompt disbursement of withheld tax refunds in the month, which it suggested may have adversely affected sales and traffic.

Alas, that did not happen, and restaurant struggles continued in March as sales and traffic again declined year-over-year: same-store sales were down 1.1% while traffic dropped 3.4%. March results were disappointing for an industry desperately trying to reverse performance trends; with sales now negative in 11 out of the last 12 months, the longest stretch since the financial crisis…

This was a holiday-shorted week, due to Good Friday, and we are posting this Monday evening due to today being a holiday in much of the world.

Gold and silver went up the dollar went down, +$33 and +$0.53 -64mg gold and -.05g silver. The prices of the metals in dollar terms are readily available, and the price of the dollar in terms of honest money can be easily calculated. The point of this Report is to look into the market to understand the fundamentals of supply and demand. This can’t necessarily tell you what the price will do tomorrow. However, it tells you where the price should be, if physical metal were to clear based on supply and demand.

Of course, two factors make this very interesting. One is that the speculators use leverage, and they can move the price around. At…

Despite the recent modest profit-taking in the S&P 500, the market – just shy of its all time high 2,400 level – remains in nosebleed valuation territory.

As Bank of America calculates, in March the S&P 500 forward P/E was little-changed amid a flat month for stocks, and at 17.5x continues to trade at its highest levels since 2002 (on a trailing basis P/E is at 19.6 and 29.0 based on the Shiller PE). This is almost one turn higher since we last performed a similar valuation exercise back in December.

Hardly a bargain, stocks remain stretched vs. history on the majority of metrics Bank of America tracks (Table 2) and as Savita Subramanian points out, the only way stocks still look cheap is relative to bonds. While BofA is quick to warn that today’s elevated valuations suggest longer-term caution on stocks, it reminds clients that “valuations typically…

Clif High tells FinanceAndLiberty his calculations are predicting a “gold rush” in the coming months. As for the silver market, High says a slippage of control will occur between now and May.

Clif High has a patent on computer-assisted reading technology which allows reading from computer screens at up to 2000 words per minute. Reaching into other areas of hidden potential within language use by humans, he has been developing a system of software internet agents (like search engines use) and other proprietary processing methods to predict future events.

The software project, begun in 1997, captures near-real-time changes in language patterns within internet discussions. Then, employing radical linguistic techniques of his own devising, he develops a model which anticipates future events with some seeming accuracy. The processing has, at its core, a method of assigning emotional values to complex content and time carry-values…

S&P 500 tech stocks have now fallen for 9 days in a row.  The last time tech stocks declined for so many days in a row was in 2012, and that was the only other time in history when we have seen such a long losing streak.  As I have stated before, the post-election “Trump rally” is officially done, and the market is starting to roll over as investors begin to realize that all of the buying momentum has completely evaporated.  Tech stocks tend to be particularly volatile, and so the fact that they are starting to lead the way down should definitely be alarming to many in the investing community.

Of course it isn’t just tech stocks that are falling.  The Dow was down another 59 points on Wednesday, and the S&P 500 has closed beneath its 50 day moving average for the very…

The New World Order’s International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a powerful and manipulative globalist organization known for monitoring the financial health of more than 188 countries, establishing global money laws and providing “bail-out’s” to nations. They have a lot of power and are capable of accomplishing tasks of unprecedented proportions. They are an organization we need to keep a very close eye on.

In the video, I interview the CEO of Nobel Gold Investments, Charles Thorngren, and delve through the IMF’s and the globalist’s nasty plans. Charles reveals how the IMF is making their move to crash the dollar and send the American population into a whirlwind of panic! He further reveals how to survive their “chess game of life.”

WELLS  FARGO  CLAWING  BACK  $75.3  MILLION  MORE  FROM FORMER EXECUTIVES  IN  FAKE ACCOUNTS  SCANDAL!

Monday, 10-Apr-17

Wells Fargo said Monday it is clawing back $75.3 million in additional compensation from top former executives after an internal investigation of the bank’s unauthorized accounts scandal found that the ex-leaders acted too slowly to investigate allegations of “improper and unethical behavior” in retail sales practices reaching back more than a decade.

The clawbacks are among the highlights of a  report that said aggressive sales practices in the community banking division of Wells Fargo (WFC) for years distorted “culture and management performance” and “created pressure on employees to sell unwanted or unneeded products to customers and, in some cases, to open unauthorized accounts.”

Produced by independent board members of the bank along with outside legal investigator, the report blasted Wells Fargo executives for failing to…

[ZurichTimes] Clif does not hold back in this interview with Greg Hunter and forecasts we are in “an extinction level event” scenario based on his predictive linguistics data mining. Bond Market Crash around September, 2017 and Economic Collapse to coincide with Currency Market Crash. And yes Google has gone Evil.

Something odd happened late in the day in Wednesday’s trading session, which prompted a number of people to mail in comments or ask a question or two. Since we have discussed this issue previously, we decided this was a good opportunity to briefly elaborate on the topic again in these pages.

A strong ADP jobs report for March was released on Wednesday, and the gold price dutifully declined ahead of it already, while the stock market surged concurrently. Later in the day, the Fed minutes were published, and their tone was definitely seen as very “hawkish”, at least by today’s standards.

There was quite a bit of talk about rate hikes and  – gasp! – even about ending reinvestment of funds the Fed receives when debt securities in its QE portfolio mature. The merry pranksters also bemoaned the egregious bubble their own policies have given birth to.

According to Reuters

Internet data mining expert Clif High uses what he calls “predictive linguistics” to spot trends and make predictions for future events. In his latest in-depth report, High sees a “huge” calamity coming for humanity.  Clif High explains, “There is all kinds of data for money and lack of money and lack of funding and all kinds of emotions around this.  There are hints in the data that something huge is coming for August and September that is being exposed by the language now.  I think it’s a bond crash or not a bond crash because I don’t know how that works.  It’s not a stock market crash.  The data I am looking at now says the stock market is not meaningful.  We may lose 50 cents on every dollar in the stock market in just a few days, but it’s meaningless.  It won’t make any difference…

With 19 billion dollars to play with each year, Statista’s Martin Armstrong notes the U.S. space agency can outspend the ESA, Rocosmos, CNSA, ISRO, and JAXA combined.It is important to note however, that the figure for CNSA is an estimate due to the lack of comprehensive information from the Chinese government.
