Did You See Oil?

January 4th 2012 05:12
We start off 2012 with a DJIA up 180 points, Gold up $37, Silver up almost $2.00 and look at OIL. It appears to have broken out.

Gold

November 28th 2011 17:17


Chris Vermeulen looks forward to 2012.

It looks as though we are going to see some major changes unfold globally that will change the way we do things live our lives. Unfortunately its a very negative outlook but I do have hope that something will be done to perserve are somewhat normal lifestyles.

I’m not one to talk doom and gloom, there are enough of those guys out there already so lets stick with the charts and focus on what is unfolding now in the present and how to take advantage of it…

David Banister of MarketTrendForecast has just released an analysis of the Gold market that indicates to him we are near another attack on the Gold highs of 1900.

He writes, "Look for Gold to attack 1775 first, then 1800, 1840, then 1900 in the coming 6-10 weeks or so."

It seems everyone is looking for a place to put their hard earned money as uncertainty around the globe continues to rise. Oil, Gold, and Silver which have been the hot investments for the past few years took it on the chin over the past month with oil falling 13%, gold dropping 15%, and silver with a whopping 30% decline.

So where are the big, smart, and conservative traders putting their money to work?

Maybe you've seen or heard about trading veteran Adam Hewison's powerful Trade Triangle technology. But unless you are a member of MarketClub, you truly have no idea of the full benefit of these incredible indicators!

on Is it time to buy gold?

August 9th 2010 23:03
Anonymous, good comment, unfortunately we disagree. If this were just deflation then you would be wise to invest in dollars or dollar denominated investments. But with rates at basically at zero, dollar denominated investments aren't attractive.

The consumer is in debt up to his and her ears and can't spend anymore so there goes retail stocks. Banks still haven't come clean on the REOs, so they offer big risk.

No, in a deflationary environment, you have to look at the FED. They are scared to death of deflation and will do everything they can to avoid deflation. It is inflate or die time, that means more and more dollars and even more decline in the value. The last thing you want tohold is a depreciating dollar. Exchange all your dollars for physical assets not financial assets and my preferred investment is Gold.

ZZMike, Actually when the FED buys bonds it floods the system with dollars. Maybe the Chinese are selling.

Cibbuano, think what you want. The point of my post is:

"So what! Are we taxpayers supposed to rush in and make everyone whole? I say to heck with them all. I don't have much sympathy for victims. I think everyone should have the right to fail."

I want to be a freelance writer and earn enough so that I will be able to write from somewhere warm with my toes in the sand.

Your first point, THE POWER OF CLARITY, cuts right to the heart of my problem. I have been vague about coming up with topics for querys. By the end of this month. I will have a list of topics and by the end of October, I will have submitted five queries to magazines.

I think there were a lot of borrowers that knew the papers they signed were fraudulent, yet they signed anyway.

I think there were a lot of brokers that made a ton of money winking at the rules and allowed or encouraged those borrowers to sign, and there were a lot of banks that loaned money knowing the papers were fraudulent..

So what! Are we taxpayers supposed to rush in and make everyone whole? I say to heck with them all. I don't have much sympathy for victims. I think everyone should have the right to fail.

I drive a 1999 Saab now, and I would surely trade up to this. I like how Saab has pushed the wheels out to the corners like Mini Cooper and the Volvo C30

Market Newbie, I enjoy your blog. It inspires me to write.

I don't agree with everything you say, but who does. You had a kernel of truth about the market and I took it in an another direction. If there's controversy, it only increases our readership and maybe we both learn something.

Thanks for stopping by.

on A GULLIBLE MARKET

August 21st 2008 05:30
Careful with your prognostications, Punk, my studies show that OIl is still trading above its long term trendline. Major support is at $100 to 105.

As for Gold, its trendline is in no danger of being broken. In fact the last major pullback was 22% and that's about where we are at this time. Painful, but no big deal.
