EBT Card Outage?: It Is 8 Days Into June And Many Americans Are STILL Waiting For Food Stamp Money

Posted: 10 Jun 2016 09:45 PM PDT

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Widespread reports continue to pour in from all over the nation of "glitches" with the food stamp system. It is eight days into the month and large numbers of people still have not received their benefits, and in other instances it is being reported that EBT cards are simply not working correctly. So what in the world is going on here? On downdetector.com there are scores of reports of problems with the EBT system from people all over the nation. Could this simply be another example of government incompetence, or is something else at work here?

I had heard some rumblings about this over the past few days, but I had not really taken them seriously until I read an article from highly respected author Ray Gano…

It interesting over the weekend I got several emails telling me about cell phones being down, internet being down, and get this, EBT cards not working and having no money associated to them.

This is a concern because when the US Government has payment failures, then there is possibly something happening that the press is not telling you about.

Now, we know that computers have problems and that states, counties and cities run on computers. But what is interesting is that since the beginning of 2016, The US government has had over 2,700 reports on downdetector.com showing that they have been late loading the money onto these EBT cards.

Folks, we are now going on 8 days where the Government has not paid the EBT payments so that people have food.

So I went over to downdetector.com myself, and I was stunned to see that reports of EBT outages continue to pour in every hour. Here are just a few of the recent comments that have been left by people that are still waiting for their food stamp benefits for June…

Heidi Lynn: I was supposed to get mine on the 5th and still nothing. Even ebt NJ site says $0 as well as my EBT card says $0. I'm on disability. I forgot to add I tried calling NJ Board of Services and was on hold for over an hour. I had to hang up to take dog out, etc. Does anyone know what's going on yet?

Ann Wilson: Now that it's been a whole week since I was supposed to get my June benefits, and haven't, I'm planning on going to my Illinois FCRC office. I hope they will be able to fix this difficulty.

Jenn Johnson: I always get mine on time. I was due to get mine today June 7th and nothing. I am from kentucky. Why is there nothing on the news about this?

Jarrett Manhart: Havnt received mine either. They are never late. And my fone is off so i cant call em. Im on Wi-Fi down the street from me.

Sunny Nicole Jones: I haven't gotten mine either! I'm glad it's not just me though because then I would really be worried!

But when I went to confirm these widespread outages with articles from the mainstream media, I came up empty.

Either the mainstream media does not know what is going on yet, or it is being ignored.

If you have not gotten your EBT benefits for this month yet or you know someone that is in that position, please feel free to let me know. I want to get to the bottom of this. There are people all over the nation that are reporting problems with the food stamp system, but nobody seems to know exactly how widespread this issue is just yet.

Today there are well over 40 million Americans on food stamps, and a lot of them would start rioting tomorrow if you told them that their food stamp cards were being turned off permanently.

EBT cards are the modern equivalent of the bread lines of the 1930s. Instead of having to wait in long lines for food, the government just zaps money on to EBT cards each month, and those that are hurting are able to get something to eat.

But down in Venezuela, extremely long food lines are a daily reality for much of the population right now.  The following comes from the Daily Mail…

Venezuela was once South America's richest nation, but a fall in oil prices combined with other economic problems has led to desperate citizens taking drastic measures.

Nearly half of Venezuelans say they can no longer afford to eat three meals a day, according to a recent poll by the local firm Venebarometro. The poll surveyed 1,200 adults at their homes during the first week of April and had a margin of error of plus or minus of about two percentage points

Those who can, cross the border into Colombia to buy, bring back and then use or sell food and other basic commodities.

Could you imagine not being able to provide three meals a day for your family any longer?

Sorry, this has to be fast because I've been driving all day to Chattanooga & back to get that wire out of my toe - thank heaven! Now I have to learn how to bend my foot again, but I am grateful. 

'Twas a crazy week. Silver shot up -- look at that! -- 5.9% and gold rose 2.7%. Gold/silver ratio dropped 3.1% (perfect! Direction we want it to move). Stocks were mixed, as they say, or better yet, mixed up. They hit new highs this week, but puked back all the gains. Dow ended the week up by a splinter and S&P500 down a sliver. Yet slivers can be portentous, & this one threatens to mark completion of a head and shoulders top in stocks. US dollar index wobbled and tumbled and tried to stand up this week, but only found feet today. Of that 61 basis point gain for the week, 65 came today. Gold/Bank Stock Index spread shot up this week, a sign confidence is draining out of financial markets (stocks) & into gold. 


Let's beat this dead horse plumb to a pulp: Dow Jones Industrial Average & the S&P500 are forming head and shoulders topping patterns. This week the new highs only marked the top of the right shoulder. 

Today the fell like bricks out a second story window. Without closes above May 2015's highs, both will keep edging off for a couple of more weeks, maybe three, then they will tank. When they cut through that neckline, rate-of-fall will accelerate. 

Dow chart is here, http://schrts.co/Q6KUW0 and the S&P500 is here http://schrts.co/vtdPMb 
Today both indices fell off a cliff. Dow sank 119.85 (0.67%) to 17,865.34. S&P500 fell more yet, down 19.41 (0.92%) to 2,096.07. If y'all will look at the charts, you'll understand what I mean. No, the slightly higher high on the right shoulder of the S&P500 doesn't make any difference. 

Stocks faint today took the Dow in Gold down even more, finishing the week at 14.00 oz. Chart is here, completing a megaphone reversal. http://schrts.co/8Sv0tc 

Dow in silver is here, http://schrts.co/ohwLZP 

Once the Dow in silver drops through 995 oz (it closed at 1,030.89 oz today), it will hit the gas pedal in its flight earthward. 

Time to sell stocks and put the proceeds into silver & gold. 

US dollar index had a better day after fumbling all week. It rose 65 basis points (0.69%. Here's a chart, http://schrts.co/OkJ5UT 

It surprises me a bit that the dollar punched through its 50 dma and the top boundary of the downtrending channel. However, I don't set no store by that till it shows it can keep doing it. 
Euro has no strength of its own and is probably coming under pressure from the possibility the UK on June 23 will vote to leave the European Union. It lost 0.52% to $1.1258. Yen gained 0.1% to 93.52. Makes no sense from an economic or currency management standpoint, but the yen is the strongest of the three big currencies in the market. Forget reality. 

Silver added another 6.2¢ (0.4%) for a 1731.5¢ Comex close. Gold raked in $3.20 (0.25%) to $1,273.40. 
I wish y'all would look at gold's weekly chart since 2011: http://schrts.co/zecBlu Notice that it climbed above that green downtrend form the October 2012 high, AND through the blue line marking the top border of the post 2013 trading channel. Don't miss this: Gold traded nearly to its 200 week moving average (now $1,315.45), backed off to $1,201.50, which just happened to be the top boundary of that post 2013 trading channel. Whoa! I know what that is -- a final kiss good-bye before shooting the moon. 

Here's gold's monthly since 2010, http://schrts.co/WU6cr7 On this chart it has broken out upward through the upper boundary of a falling wedge, and through its 20 month moving average. All indicators point up. 

Don't miss the Daily Chart, http://schrts.co/vXBRMC 

Gold bounced off the lower range boundary at 2015, shot through its clustered 20 & 50 DMAs, then shot through the downtrend line from the 1 May high at $1306. Now it has reached territory ($1,272 - $1,287) where resistance will be stiffer, since it was stopped there earlier in the year. So far it's stronger than a garlic milkshake, but it must keep proving itself, next by piercing this resistance. 

Y'all please look at the Gold/Bank Stock Index, http://schrts.co/PBJpq4 

Look here: it's been dropping since 2011, and from late 2013 through January of this year, it traded in a slightly downtrending range. In January it broke up out of that range, topped in February, then entered a correction until about 1 June. It formed a new trading channel & touched the bottom, and the 200 DMA, end-May/beginning of June. It has gapped up THREE times, and now is challenging the top of that trading channel. The Gold/BKX is fixin' to blow out the top. 

Remember, the spread is a fraction with Gold as the numerator and BKX as the denominator. More gold rises against the bank stock index, the larger the fraction becomes and the more the spread rises. 
Silver's weekly chart looks far better than gold's. Here it is, http://schrts.co/Vn4K54 

WHY do I make so bold? Look, silver has conquered the downtrend line from the 2011 high and broken out to the upside, all the way to 1806¢. Then it went back to the line for a kiss good-bye, and now it has taken off again. On the monthly chart it has done the same. What more confirmation do y'all want? 
On the daily silver chart, http://schrts.co/TjoUfK y'all can trace silver's astonishing climb this week. It cleared the 20 & 50 DMA's then poked through that downtrend line like it was wet cardboard. But now silver approacheth more resistance from 1762 - 1772¢. 

Next week silver & gold may lollygag, digesting its gains like a big old black snake eats a hen egg and basks in the sun to digest it. However, watch $1,308 and 1806¢. If gold & silver climb above those last highs, BACK UP THE TRUCK and buy. Meantime any backsliding must not violate the 50 day moving average. 

What (at this point) seems to be the successful test of silver & gold's gains from the first of the year clinches in spades the conclusion that silver & gold bottomed in December 2015. 

Aurum et argentum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.

Gold Stocks Retreat at Resistance

Posted: 10 Jun 2016 09:11 AM PDT

Over the past two weeks gold stocks have surged more than 20% as the awful jobs report forced the bears to capitulate. That strong of a move in a brief amount of time will naturally slow or correct. Furthermore, gold stocks touched resistance Friday morning which led to a bearish reversal. While the bullish trend remains intact, the odds favor lower prices in the days ahead.

Massive Gold Stock Investment Buying

Posted: 10 Jun 2016 09:03 AM PDT

Gold’s strong gains so far this year have been overwhelmingly fueled by one dominant driver, massive investment buying.  After shunning prudent portfolio diversification with gold for years, investors are finally starting to reestablish those essential positions.  And since their collective gold holdings were so incredibly low heading into 2016, reflecting hyper-bearish sentiment, gold’s investment buying has only begun.

Majors Should Look at Advanced Stage Junior Gold Miners Nearing Feasibility

Posted: 10 Jun 2016 08:45 AM PDT

(Originally Published and sent to Premium Subscribers (6-2-16)
It appears the Junior Gold Miners (GDXJ) are giving the investment community a  secondary buy point on the now ascending long term moving averages as they  bounce off and find support at these critical technical levels at the 50  and 200 Day Moving Averages.  I thought we could still be a few weeks away  from a bullish reversal but it appears some of our featured sponsors and

shareholdings are breaking out.    Focus on advanced stage companies which are working towards a Bankable  Feasibility Study.  Learn from the recent takeover of Kaminak (KAM.V) by  Goldcorp as they acquired the company after the release of a Feasibility  Study earlier this year for a huge premium.  The recent improvement of gold  prices has turned the heads of the majors who may have increasing cash  reserves and may begin turning a profit.     The industry needs to replace depleting reserves as we move towards a gold  production shortfall over the next 18-36 months.  Companies with the  ability to raise capital and that are currently advancing towards a  Bankable Feasibility such as Sandspring (SSP.V or SSPXF) and Treasury Metals (TML.TO) should be on your radar.    Treasury Metals (TML.TO) just raised $4 million CAD to advance their 100%  owned Goliath Gold Deposit to Bankable Feasibility which I participated.  Its located in NW Ontario which has seen a major uptick in M&A activity  since the Goldcorp (GG) takeover of Probe.
There are very few high grade, advanced and 100% owned gold assets left in Ontario.  Treasury has started the permitting process of an open pit gold mine which could process 2500 tons of ore per day.  I am sure many astute investors are excited to see the Feasibility Study which could show a low capex and exciting economics.
The Chairman of Treasury is Marc Henderson who is experienced at  negotiating takeouts.  He sold his Aquiline Resources to Pan American  Silver in 2009 for over $600 million USD.  Treasury appears to be basing  along the 200 Day Moving Average and should see a bullish reversal.    Sandspring Resources (SSP.V or SSPXF) also has recently raised $6.5 million  CAD this past month which I participated. Similar to Treasury they are  advancing towards a Feasibility Study on it Toroparu Gold Project in  Guyana.  It is one of the world's largest undeveloped gold assets 100%  owned by a junior.
The company has a pre-feasibility study which shows  that the project could produce over 200k ounces annually with economics  that shows possibly great leverage to a rising gold price as this project  may have district scale potential.      Some may be concerned about Guyana versus where they traditionally invest  in Nevada or Canada.  Most people are unaware that Guyana is the only  English speaking country in South America with a stable democracy, high  literacy rate and a long history of mining.  Two new major gold projects  have advanced to production in the past year as mining is vital aspect of  the economy.  Sandspring's management has more than 16 years of experience  working with the Guyanese Government.       Sandspring could bounce off the 50 Day Moving Average which could be a  secondary buypoint.      Take a look at their corporate presentation by clicking on the following  link:    http://www.sandspringresources.com/i/pdf/ppt/ssp_PPT_May2016.pdf
Watch the recent presentation given by the CEO in Vancouver where he discusses
the recent investment into the company by their large shareholder and director
the famous Frank Giustra.  Back in 2007, Frank sold his company to Uranium One
for over $7 a share that was trading for just pennies two years earlier creating
a lot of wealth for his shareholders.  Maybe Sandspring could be next?

Everyone Still Hates Housing. Here’s Why it’s Time to Buy!

Posted: 10 Jun 2016 08:02 AM PDT

This post Everyone Still Hates Housing. Here’s Why it’s Time to Buy! appeared first on Daily Reckoning.

Remember rising rates?

We don't…

With rate hikes falling off metaphorical tables left and right and bond yields plummeting, the market is up to a few of its old tricks. Investors are grabbing gold and utility stocks with one hand and flushing banks down the tubes with the other.

These shenanigans mean only one thing: It's time to get bulled up on homebuilder stocks.

"Homebuilders are another group that may be benefiting from lower bond yields (which translate into lower mortgage rates)," legendary technician John Murphy explains on his blog over at Stockcharts.com.

The homies are in rally mode again. And it's time to pay close attention…

We're no stranger to the homebuilder trade. Late last year, a deluge of data made it clear that the housing market had finally stabilized. Yes, there are outliers—like outrageously high prices in San Francisco. But for most of the nation, the housing market is reverting to something that resembles normalcy.

"After years of volatility, home price growth appears to have stabilized at an annual rate of around 4% to 5%," The Wall Street Journal reported in late 2015. "Economists said prices, sales and new-home construction are likely to continue to grow moderately going into next year as the market continues its return to normal."

Remember, we're a full decade removed from the housing bubble. And after ten years of little to no substantial gains in homebuilder stocks, it's finally time for these puppies to get moving.

Last year, our iShares Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction ETF (NYSE:ITB) position was our only long-term trade of the year that has survived the August rout. It was the market meltdown earlier this year forced us to sell.

But right now, it's clear that there's a major breakout in the works for the underperforming homebuilders. And if we jump onboard now, we could be in for a heck of a ride…

Homebuilders-DR

The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction ETF has climbed to new 2016 highs this week. After a gut-wrenching winter, the homebuilders have fought back with a vengeance.

Of course, there are plenty of reasons to argue against homebuilder stocks—and the American housing market. Homes in many popular cities are too expensive. Young families are stuck with high student loans and car payments. And my personal favorite: Millennials will never get married, never have kids and therefore never buy houses.

But when you break down the facts and figures, it's clear that housing is reaching a tipping point. Homebuilders haven't focused enough on single-family homes since the financial crisis. And they're going to have to play catch-up.

"Housing is set to eat the U.S. economy," explains Conor Sen, a portfolio manager at New River Investments

Sen argues that because we're near record lows for construction unemployment, the industry will need to add 550,000-to-600,000 construction workers over the next few years. Sen says it will have to poach from other industries like agriculture and manufacturing in order to get housing back to a driving economic force.

As the homebuilders make up for lost time, they'll begin to reward savvy investors. Lucky for us, price leads the news. And there are plenty of homebuilder breakouts to choose from.

Sincerely,

Greg Guenthner

Gold rigging will fail as investors see fraud of 'paper gold,' Grant Williams says

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Fund manager and market analyst Grant Williams, interviewed by Lars Schall for Matterhorn Asset Management's Gold Switzerland, says he is certain the gold market is rigged and that as investors realize that "paper gold" isn't real gold, they will demand real gold and take it out of the banking system, causing a big problem for the market riggers.

Williams says: "The stories of rigging in the gold and silver markets are legendary. There are so many of them. Some of them are wackier than others, but if the last three or four years have taught us anything, it's that all financial markets are rigged and I truly believe they are. I've been involved in financial markets for 30 years, and so if you want to tell me that they can rig Libor, one of the key rates in the entire world, but no one wants to rig the gold and silver market, I think you're out of your mind.

"I'm absolutely certain that the gold and silver markets are rigged in some way, shape, or form. How deep that rigging goes and the actual mechanics of it, I don't know. But you can see all kinds of strange behavior in the wee small hours overnight. You can see trades being done which are clearly not done by any kind of for-profit organization. So I think there is definitely manipulation of the gold and silver claims. I think the Deutsche Bank agreement is just the tip of the iceberg. Part of that agreement was that they were going to share information a) about how the markets were rigged and b) who else was involved, so I fully suspect to see a lot more news on that coming out.

"Now, whether it makes the mainstream media or not, I don't know. I'm continually confused as to why they don't report these stories because they are so interesting, but unlike the rigging of Libor or foreign exchange markets or the treasury market or any of the other rigged markets, when people rig the gold market, they are rigging a claim on a physical asset that's been money for 6,000 years. It's not a paper contract, and so if this becomes mainstream, if people understand what's going on in the gold markets and they believe that some gold they believe they've bought is subject to rigging, again, people are going to want to get their own gold, they're going to want it allocated, they're going to want it in their own safety deposit box outside the system, and it really just takes a few people -- the numbers are extraordinarily small for people to say, 'OK, I'm going to take my gold out of the banking system and I'm going to put it in a safety deposit box.'"
