However we are entering the timing band for one of those daily cycle corrections. It's not unusual to see this begin as a profit-taking event on the employment report, as we enter earnings season.
As long as earnings season meets expectations then that is all this should be, just a profit-taking event. However, if earnings season disappoints then this could intensify significantly. If in addition we start to see stress in the European debt market escalate it would magnify the rally in the dollar increasing the downward pressure as stocks begin the move down into that cycle low. Let's face it the problems in Europe aren't going away. The cancer in the debt markets is going to continue to chew its way up the sovereign food chain until it finally reaches the US bond market.
The fact that the dollar has consolidated for several weeks above the double top breakout is a strong sign that another powerful leg up is beginning.
Gold may or may not have put in a final D-Wave bottom last week. But there is a good chance that bottom is going to get tested in the next couple of weeks. And then of course we will have to contend with the selling pressure as stocks move down into their intermediate degree decline in February and March. That could conceivably drive gold back down below $1523, although I think any dip below that level will only be marginal and quickly recovered.
Right now patience is the name of the game until the stock market has formed a daily cycle low which is due sometime in the middle of January. Cash or a modest position in the dollar index is safest bet for the next couple of weeks.

ReplyDeleteAdd to SPX short here. /es 1272
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteI know it would foolish to ask if you advise a s&p short position.
would you advise it in your agressive portfolio service?
The same rules apply to the aggressive portfolio as the model portfolio. It's just too hard to make money on the short side unless you are willing to wade through thousands of financial statements and find sick companies.
ReplyDeleteAre you willing to do that kind of due diligence?
.
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteWhat about a short of the S&P using SDS or SPXU not individual companies per se?
You are under the illusion that you are going to be able to make money selling short with no more due diligence than a charting service. The odds of that happening are pretty small.
ReplyDeleteSuccessful short-sellers have research departments that uncover sick companies.
Retail traders selling short based on nothing more than lines on the chart almost always lose money.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteI just thought that since you are pretty sure that the S&P is heading down because of the strong dollar, then shorting the index using an inverse ETF would be profitable. Does that not make sense?
You are making same the mistake that many others have made. You are trading my expectations instead of following my trades.
ReplyDeleteI don't sell short because it's too hard to make money. I wait until a daily cycle low has formed and then I buy.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for clarifying!
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteThe inverse funds will only track so far - daily resets over the longer term will cause divergence (for better or worse). I believe SB has mentioned in the past a better strategy - if you can, short the long fund.
ReplyDeleteA possible portfolio change for active traders has been posted to the website.
ReplyDeleteBut Gary,
ReplyDeleteYou are pretty sure a DCL for the stock market is imminent.
Would that not mean lower prices than where we are today? It seems obvious to me, not to mention your "more severe" scenario with the ICL also coming.
I'm shorting this pig, WW and others here doing that, too, so I don't think it's something ill-advised.
Safer to play long side, for sure, but barring an unprobable QE3 there is simply not much to the upside in this market. Imo of course.
It's easy to say I'm going to short into the daily cycle low and it's a surefire moneymaker. In real time it's a whole different ballgame. For one, as we have seen over the last several days, you never pick the top perfectly. so most people get whipsawed multiple times before they catch the top. By then there so gun shy they can't hold onto the trade.
ReplyDeletePlus once we start down you have intraday moves that knock you out of your positions early, and often at a small loss.
The simple fact is that markets go down differently than they go up and it is much much harder to make money on the down move than it is on the bull side.
P2000,
ReplyDeleteI got room, throw that Pig on the Grill!!
Yeah, either me or the Pig is toast when it's over. lol
ReplyDeleteBTW, I like to play it safe, so I'm not gonna be a hero whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteMy trade is pure and simple, based on the assumption that we're gonna tag the breakout point of the 200-day MA.
That's 20 points down from here, and even an 1x ES contract would make you a thousand bucks.
Major-major overhead resistance in the 1300-1320 SPX band, and should the big boys try and pump the pig up to that level, I will just add more shorts. It'll break eventually, and when it does, money will be made on the short side...
Simple as that and seems a low risk/reward play for me. Okay, QE3 could ruin this plan, but with 100+ oil and 1280 SPX I don't see it happening near term.
Gary,
ReplyDelete"Retail traders selling short based on nothing more than lines on the chart almost always lose money"
I remember you shorting the SPX when it was in waterfall decline, I believe it was august 3rd's bounce that you shorted.
*
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteIf im not mistaken it was off the 10dma average also, I remember commending you on that trade as the market dropped hard the next day.
WW ... True ... And I'm also taking a small bite here. More for educational purposes than anything else.
ReplyDeleteLosing money is not like getting run over by a bus. You need to lose money to remember the lesson.
ReplyDeleteAveraging losses is arguably the #1 most dangerous trading habit. But it's one thing to do it on a vehicle you can sit on - opportunity costs and emotional wear and tear are the biggest downside (assuming your price point rolls around eventually). Doing it on ES is crazy. Funny how those contract rolls come up sooner than you'd imagine when you're losing. Go into June if that's your thing though.
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeletePlease correct me on that if im wrong because I remember it vaguely, but I remember some of us calling it a "legendery" trade also.
I remember you doing it very nonchalantly too, you said "oh well, I guess I will put the short trade back then" or something along those lines.
added to my short at es 1276 (via SDS though). last one was at 1272 a few days ago.
ReplyDeletethis thing is still about $50 rich as far as buy volume goes.
finally able to post charts again..
ReplyDelete/ES, /GC, /ZN 4 hour charts with effective volume subgraph
http://i44.tinypic.com/20af6kw.png
since november more money has left /ES on the way down than on the way up. can't last forever.
combine that with the epic amount of cash that flooded /ZN in the december rally.
no real edge to gold here, but there hasn't been much of a positive divergence here which is why i'm inclined to think a new low will be made.
.
ReplyDeletehere's another fun one- SPY/IEF on a daily chart
ReplyDeletehttp://i40.tinypic.com/15zrpxw.png
more of a big picture thing but handy in keeping one's bias aligned properly. still gotta lean bearish until it can regain either MA (which is a matter of time imo)

ReplyDeleteDanno, its the same reason why you are trying to call a top in the USD.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Kevin Depew at his twitter feed (kevindepew) and from what I see on thinkorswim, the WEEKLY gold (GC) futures are on Bar 7 of 9 of a BUY Setup. Need a new low below 1522 however over the next 2 weeks, to perfect the BUY setup. This will be good for 1-4 weeks after. TDST WEEKLY down level is at 1485, so need an up close (this week), followed by a down close below 1485 next week, then a down open on Monday to qualify.
ReplyDeleteSPX did record a 13 DAILY Sequential SELL this week, but needs a Bearish price flip below 1257.60 futures.
As I mentioned yesterday, all measures of the Euro (6E, FXE, EUO) are showing some kind-of rebound in the currency coming. I also just noticed DX dollar futures are showing a WEEKLY SELL Setup as well this week, good for the next 1 to 4 weeks. So, this is going to be a tricky time.

ReplyDeleteStocks are moving in more of a "straight line" than the dollar, the dollar basically traded sideways for 14 days before this 3 day pop.
ReplyDeleteI have a buy signal on stocks, and I am seeing quite a few stocks that have reversed from recent bottoms quite significantly. I am expecting a breakout to the upside say within a week and then a small correction.
ReplyDeleteThe reason that I believe the markets to do well for now is the same reason why I believe precious metals are not going to break their recent lows.
I think the Europe problem is priced into stocks (for the time being) and they have temporarily 'solved' the problem. Btw, I was over there at the peak of the crisis, and practically no one even mentioned a crisis. In all of Northern Europe people could not care less. It's much greater news over there than it is over here (for obvious reasons). Europe will disappear from the news sooner than later (again, for the time being). The new year is tired of crisis talk and ready to continue the rally at least for some time. I'm not going to bet my house on it, but I am currently long.
Instead of:
ReplyDeleteIt's much greater news over there than it is over here
I meant to say, of course:
It's much greater news over here than it is over there
Geesh,
ReplyDeleteI think everyone went home early today, still on holiday schedule and long weekends, not much movement. :)
End of days on Fridays are notorious for low volume, atleast in the futures markets.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know the futures symbols for gold, silver and oil for use on the list of indices on the TOS platform (i.e., the equivalent of ES, NQ, etc.)? Hope that makes sense. tia.
ReplyDeleteWW,
ReplyDeleteYes I have sold short before. But over the long run I've lost more money than I've made. I just don't bother anymore.
It's called learning one's lesson.

Jenny
Retail sector continues to show strength. RTH on crisp of another 52 week high. Everyone talks about a recession and the poor job market, but take a look at a retailer like Macy (new 52 weeks high, 3 year high today, up 10% this week) and you have to wonder who is spreading all this pessimistic view out there.
ReplyDeleteThings aren't GREAT, but it certainly isn't horrible.
Jenny, thanks, that worked. I had tried all of those, but without the "/", so it wouldn't accept them.
ReplyDeleteI read in another forum. A good trader pull out a chart of the s&p over the the past recession. Not once have price closed above the 65 week moving average. If this was a continuation of the bear leg down from August 2011, then one have to seriously consider why this time it will be different.
ReplyDeleteGary said it's because of the dollar. Well, equities and the dollar have rallied side by side for 3 months now.
St D. could you e-mail me, thnx.
ReplyDeleteAAPL stock has only been down 2 days since mid December! Techs lead the way, and the economy is fine? no. The economy isnt dictated by the stock market.
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteI can tell that you definitely took a beating selling short, and dont even want to chance it anymore.
Danno,
ReplyDeleteAs you can see from the charts daily cycle lows are clearly evident. The only time in recent history that the market has stretched has been during QE1 and QE2 And even that didn't prevent a significant profit-taking event from occurring it just delayed it a little bit.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteEricH,
ReplyDeleteActually stocks have only rallied on days that the dollar was falling they just haven't given much back when it rallied.
However that cannot continue for a significant period of time unless we were in another productive phase. We haven't seen any true productivity increases since the tech bubble burst in 2000. That's why stocks generally only rise as the dollar falls.
In lieu of true productivity the Fed is expanding the money supply to generate a phony bull market in stocks. This isn't a real bull market and it's why we had such a devastating collapse in 2008 and 2009. We will eventually get the same result this time.
In the real world it's not possible to print prosperity. You get a short period of time when it seems like things have been fixed but eventually you have to face the unintended consequences.
Gary,
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love about you, your relentless in sharing your experiences with others to help them. Your a good guy, you really are. Your like a man on a mission :)
USD is up 7.92% from the October lows.
ReplyDeleteSPX up 18.5% from the October lows.
The consolidation in HUI/XAU over the past few days now looks like a bull flag. And this has been while the dollar has been rising so it appears will get a breakout as soon as the dollar takes it's necessary breather.
ReplyDelete"seen any true productivity increases since the tech bubble burst in 2000."
ReplyDeleteWhy aren't you classify the housing bubble from 2000 to 2006 as a productivity period? More homes were build in that period of than ever before in a 5-6 year period.
Does anyone else see the nearly perfecly symmetrical Rounding Bottom forming in ZSL that began in late June, with a spike midway through the bottom as is very common with Rounding Bottoms? Average trading price target would be $26.23. ZSL is currently at $14.62. That would be a DOUBLE my friends. Ultimate average price target would be aprox $29.21. Not sure this will pan out but pick up some ZSL today just in case things get hairy.
ReplyDeleteOk .. now I am betting for a CLASSIC inverse H&S forming in daily gold chart. In Silve the figure can be even cleaner :)
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnd another 2 cents ... I think next week will be bulish for stocks. They consolidated over the gap this week and did not reverse today. If we break 1300 on S&P by next friday, gold will be out of time for a fall under 1525.
ReplyDeleteQuestion is can we get another DC before the IC in stocks bottoms ?

ReplyDeleteEric,
ReplyDeleteHousing wasn't true productivity driven by demand. It was driven by a credit bubble. That's why it collapsed catastrophically, nearly imploding the global credit markets. The ramifications of that are going to be felt over years if not decades.
St D,
ReplyDeleteWhen you get a chance can you drop me an email, Thanks.
FromRips2Returns@aol.com
@AOL.com? What year is this? What are you on your way to see Jerry McGuire listening to Boyz II Men in your car? Are you wearing baggy jeans and trying to look like your from Seattle? Who's your biggest celebrity crush, Alicia Silverstone? AOL... get real.
ReplyDeleteWhy work hard or take the risk of producing something original of lasting value when your house is “working” for you or you can get in on the millionaire-making housing-related job market?
ReplyDeleteAdam,
ReplyDeletewhat's your point. WW is still using dial-up from the local ISP :)
Ivan,
ReplyDeleteD4mmit!!! That was so obvious. How did I miss that one too? I was too busy thinking pop-culture. haha
Gary,
ReplyDeleteHow would you terminate what's true productivity and what's not?
The tech bubble looked like it was first driven by true demand, but eventually it got out of control and burst. The precious metal are going through that phase now. How can one argue that there's no true demand caused by true productivity from nations creating all these goods that we purchase on a daily basis.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteYou making fun of me? I had this email forever, since you were wearing baggy jeans trying to look like your from seattle. Its like saying change your phone number.
Ivan,
ReplyDeleteI like the funny noises. I still use a motorola flip phone too, so stop picking on me ya filthy animals.
I'm not making fun of you. I'm making fun of your email provider.
ReplyDeleteHe's playing "snake" on his phone.
ReplyDeleteCan I borrow Tomb Raider on your Sega Saturn?
ReplyDeleteAdam,
ReplyDeleteLOLLLL, "snake"...too funny. I walk around with an Incredible Hulk blow up vest too.
Eric,
ReplyDeleteTrue productivity is a sustainable industry that's not built on a credit bubble.
In order for that to occur a couple of things must happen. First we must cleanse 40 years of debt from the system. Second we must solve our energy and general shortage of commodities problem.
Once we do those two things then the world will be a position for the next secular bull market to begin. I suspect that it will be driven by biotech and the need to sharply reduce health care costs, which are a big part of our debt problem to begin with.
EricH,
ReplyDeletewhat is there that you can produce and export. If you can exchange tech job output for a plasma TV from Thailand that's OK but not anymore. If you can make plasma TV in the US that's even better, However the labour cost in the US is ridiculously high because of stupid government regulations. Instead of getting out of the way and let the cost of labour drop they want to debase the export currency (USD) and achieve the same result...blahhh..
Everyone wants to have a construction job or drill. What for ?? People should go and think how to use energy out of the ocean waves and come up with artificial kidneys...

ReplyDeleteI doubt anyone makes any consistent money from divergences.

Interesting analysis on a VIX variation VXV:

"Frankly, the VXV chart looks a lot like it did back in early April 2009....“The key takeaway: systemic healing is continuing and the risk of systemic failure is diminishing.” Based on the VXV chart, it appears as if we are at a similar moment in time right now."

TO the individual who posted Hubbart from 321 gold... that commentator is CONSISTENTLY WRONG. i subscribe to him and cannot believe how wrong the majority of his analyses are. Hubbart was calling for a gold stock explosion in september followed by a crashing USD, and a gold super highway to 2300 rapidly. This guys volume analysis is amateur style and whenever he is wrong all he says is that " dont worry these stocks will go higher in the future". Not worth the money and the read IMO.

ReplyDeleteYou will need to buy a subscription to get data more than 3 years though.
Gary, thank you. I was hoping I could avoid a subscription to get this data. I want to data mine the all the last 119 Daily and 30 Intermediate cycles of current gold bull. Hopefully it will allow me to download the data
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately nothing that's worth anything is ever free.
ReplyDeleteJust trying to plan how to do it. Maybe the best approach is to create a relational database of all the price and cycle data and then mine the data from there
ReplyDeleteWhat about kitco.com? I can't tell on my iPhone if the raw data table can be copied and pasted.
ReplyDeleteGo to historical gold chart, check the year and select data only.
smartbullion,
ReplyDeleteI believe you can get free historical data of daily spot gold, if you open a paper-trading account at Thinkorswim - which is also free.
RJ, kitco dont seem have the detail data I require, just London PM fix. I'd need open, close, high, low at a minimum. thanks

Too many expecting snp to make it over 1300... perhaps just whats needed for it not to make it there.
ReplyDeleteRebecca
ReplyDeleteIf your thinking what I'm thinking and that tax rates in the future are only going higher then that might be a good plan. I would contribute the max to your 401k to capture any company match then max your Roth IRA out.

ReplyDeleteDanno
ReplyDeleteWhy did you deleted your comments with predictions/expectations?
I was annoyed that no one was talking to me. That's actually the truth, as juvenile as it may be.
ReplyDeleteFWIW I am currently considering Poly's idea that gold may drop well below 1400, to possibly the 1200 area. Too early for me to make a decision but, based on page 24 [Measure Rule for Trendlines] of the book 'Getting Started in Chart Patterns' I am beginning to believe it is possible.
Seems unlikely gold will make it to $1200. Maybe a 50% retracement at $1400 though.
ReplyDeleteWe just have to wait and see how the current daily cycle plays out.
Gold below 1300 is just wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteGary, please forgive me if you have answered this already. But is it possible we have already seen the A-wave, peaking last November? Thus we would be on the verge of entering a new c-wave? Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe move to a lower low confirms that gold is still stuck in a D-wave. It may or may not have bottomed last week.
ReplyDeleteOoops. Ok Gary thank you for your patience.
ReplyDeleteI think ud make a great coach
Danno,
ReplyDeleteNo one responds to your predictions because it appears your just learning so inherently the predicitions are of limited value to people who have been doing this many years, your predictions lack confidence and are usually hedged and just in general it's too frequent and too many so the value of each one gets diluted. It doesn't seem your overly serious about this anyways ie. Deleting your predicitions because no one responded? Or asking to be thanked because one of your predictions came true? Really?
Actually about 1275 is where the 'measure rule' would place gold. But I think Gary is correct to say holding out for anything that low would be a mistake.
ReplyDeletehttp://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$GOLD&p=D&yr=3&mn=11&dy=0&id=p26989721386&a=253184115
Dan,
ReplyDeleteRelax man. You don't have to bash people. I was just being honest. I can do whatever I want to do.
Eamonn,
ReplyDeleteThats how I have it laid out if gold has indeed bottomed. B-waves dont move below A-waves.
Right now its best to wait for gold to put in a DCL, it's not running away without us.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who is waiting for gold to go to $1400 or lower to buy may get left behind though.
ReplyDeleteSnp really couldnt muster up much of a rally with the dollar pullback today...it should crack in the next leg up.
ReplyDeleteDanno,
ReplyDeleteSo was I
WW,
ReplyDeleteWhere do you see the dcl coming in at?
Looking for another first of July. :)
at ease,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean first of July?
DCL in 10-12 days.
ReplyDeleteA little late on this one, but REE has run over 100% on the last 5 trading days. But its DeMark chart lined up. Daily - 2 consecutive Perfected BUY Setup 9's. WEEKLY - recorded a Sequential 13 in the 3rd Week of December. Finally, the MONTHLY recorded a Perfected 9 BUY Setup in December. So, the stock is exploding - whether you believe DeMark mumbo jumbo or not, this shows that it appears to have some power of prediction!
ReplyDeleteWeakness in GOOG - it had a Daily Sell Setup 9 last week, and its pretty much down ever since. AAPL getting close to DAILY exhaustion as well. AA reporting tonight is on Bar 8 of 9, but needs a low below the December low to perfect. If it sells off after the earning report, it could be a buy!
WW.
ReplyDeleteMade a lot of money that day when I asked you for next lower MA to exit some positions for the holiday weekend. Turned out to be the low and I got out of the shorts and went long. You may forget July 1st, but I won't! Looking for another one. :)
at ease,
ReplyDeleteOh I remember :) That was when you covered your short in July on the 100dma when I mentioned gold would be bouncing off it.
Danno,

Silver is nicely crawling 4 days in a row over the 10th day MA - support for a big move or final break ? The answer is cose ... :)

ReplyDeleteGurvir will be installing the new certificate in a couple of days. that should fix the problem.
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeletecan you compare CRB and Gold in terms of potential price gain. Question is because at the start of the bull they both were priced the same ~ around 200 in the beginning of 2002
The CRB is heavily weighted towards energy. Energy already had the largest part of it's run during the last bull market. The big moves are going to occur in the precious metals market from this point on.
ReplyDeleteGold finally heading lower without the snp.

Alcoa is a meaningless company with a track record of missing. What the market is waiting on is some indication of whether earnings are going to meet expectations. I suspect by the middle of the week it will decide.

ReplyDelete@ Danno - posted January 9, 2012 7:52 AM.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I've never said gold will or even could anywhere near "well below $1,400".
I am convinced as long as unemployment rate drops and CPI remains flat, it is possible we may see $1200.00 or $1000.00 gold by end of this year.
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned on SMT this is not a profit taking event back to the mean but a fundamental change.
Romeo/Gary, the security exception is due to a self-signed certificate. Either it's a new one your webmaster generated, or ?? Most security certs come from Verisign or some other agency that allows the certificate to be checked. Self-created ones can be just as secure -- I've generated them before -- they just cannot be validated by an external source. It's a lot cheaper and much less hassle go generate one's own. The only problem is if the certificate is the result of a hack, of course...

Even if you trust the site, this error could mean that someone is

Chances are it's nothing, but you should be sure for the sake of all the account info & PWs on the site.
Eamonn,
ReplyDeleteGold shouldn't move back below this bottom unless it is still in a D-wave. If you think this bottom was a B-wave bottom than this is the first time in 10+ years that a B-wave moved below an A-wave, it wouldn't be the ABCD pattern then.
Poly,
ReplyDeleteI must have you confused with someone else who was talking to WW a week or two ago. Sorry.
I don't quite understand how 2012 can be the worst year in human history and gold not be sold off with the markets like 2008. I'm sure this question has been asked. Must have missed it. As most people here seem to agree, I must be a little slow.
ReplyDeleteA-waves are 1 or 2 daily cycles, with the exception of 2008, during which it was 3.5 daily cycles. Its a tricky time with gold. Wish the c-wave would start soon
ReplyDeleteThe miners don't seem to think we are still in a d-wave. Even kinross, the second worst of all big miners, is up today.
ReplyDeleteDanno,
ReplyDelete2012 will not be the worst year in history. In fact I think it will be a good year for the general market.
Eamonn,
ReplyDeleteThe 06' A-wave was 4 Daily Cycles.
08' D-wave was 7 Daily Cycles.
WW, I'm going to have to send you an email!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think I'm smart WW jumps in a ruins my day LOL
ReplyDeleteAgain, B-waves dont move below A-waves. If gold makes a new low then a D-wave is still in effect. If afterwards we just see gold continue to push higher with normal DC and ICL's then the ABCD wave pattern would no longer be.
ReplyDeleteSorry Eamonn, definately didnt mean to ruin your day :)
ReplyDeleteEmail me.
Danno,
ReplyDeleteYou just don't have a subscription so you don't know the stipulations and conditions.
Anybody here buying Dinar money?....I know your not SB
ReplyDeleteGary,
ReplyDeleteI have a problem also with the Premium Website...Does it mean that there won't be access for your newsletter tonight?
Haggerty,
ReplyDeleteBought Dinar back in 2004 and 2005. Still holding. Wouldn't really recommend buying much. I'd probably wait for an Iraqi ETF then pile in. Or you can wire money to an Iraqi bank and have them invest the money in their stock market. Go to: InvestorsIraqForum.com. They have all the info.
Okay Gary. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHaggerty,
ReplyDeleteTypo. It's www.investorsiraq.com/
Anyone following platinum?
ReplyDeleteAlong with Alcoa's outlook could be a good buy for this industrial metal.
TZ-
ReplyDeleteI have taken advantage of the lull in trading and moved one of my accounts to Interactive Brokers! I have all of the quotes and research I need.... (only need IB for cheap trades and open trading.) Will probably do ETF's//stocks// options...(and possibly futures) I have traded futures in the past!! my question!! Should I use the Trader Workstation or Webtrader! Any thoughts or opinions!
I am starting to accumulate some US eagle and US Buffalo gold coins. Found a local deal and bought some two weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know of a good physical gold IRA?
"Yes I have sold short before. But over the long run I've lost more money than I've made. I just don't bother anymore."
ReplyDeleteToo bad. My advice is to learn from someone who knows what they are doing, instead of just following cycles. Maybe you should take some timing pointers from Jim Rogers - he seems to be able to pick almost prefect tops and bottoms regardless of asset class.
Practice makes it perfect buddy! ;-)
Tiho, Rogers himself admits to be horrible at timing, and is usually early, from what Ive seen.
ReplyDeletejim Rogers just buys and holds through anything and admits he has bad entrys.
ReplyDeleteAlso he does not give you any buy signals
I see Sophia posted at 1:44 that she was having problems with Gary's main website: me too. Firefox is advising not to turn up there--might be someone disguised as Gary ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what might be going on?
Thanks,
Vonda
Tiho,
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea what you are talking about. Were do you come up with this stuff?
Rogers had to hold his short on FNM and FRE for 5 years before they paid off.
Please go troll your nonsense somewhere else.

ReplyDeleteI think the crisis is over, at the very least until fall 2012 or even 2013. If I am not mistaken we are at a bottom in housing now (and that is the first time I am thinking and saying that), I believe commodities have bottomed, and I see a bunch of strong reversals in stocks that have shown weakness throughout 2011. All the doom talk for 2012 raises the likelihood of this becoming a great year. Also, I believe that the administration is starting to power this thing up into the election, and we will see a severe correction only after the election. The economic numbers look good enough to get people excited. And mostly people are getting exhausted of the constant negativity and pessimism. I've seen this before, and it's usually when things take off to the upside and leave doomsayers in the dust. In all humbleness, I am getting bullish here, at least on some beaten down stocks and commodities with good long term fundamentals. Not withstanding a moderate (but perhaps swift) correction, I don't see a single reason why the uptrend should falter. There is global printing, some visible improvements in the economy, and no imminent threats. Forget about Europe, nothing is going to happen that that would threaten the global economy, certainly not before later this year anyway. Iran is the only potential lose canon, and I don't think anyone will start a war before election. So, without throwing caution to the wind, I am mildly psyched.
ReplyDeleteNope still in the millionaire ranks, but then so is Rogers.
ReplyDeleteI've just had enough of your rude and obnoxious comments.
Do you really think you are going to teach me anything about investing or trading?
No, but I think Rogers could. That way you could also become a bit more humble, like he is too!
ReplyDeleteGary
ReplyDeleteTake a break and go out and have a burrito...
I think you and Basil are the only two people that have ever accused me of not being humble, but then both of you are generally the only two people that are consistently rude and sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteThese guys just like to spin you up
