Buying Strong in Markets as well as Malls Today
Posted on November 23, 2012 | No CommentsAfter a day of being stuffed with Turkey, enjoying family and friends, perhaps taking in a football game (or two), the markets came back today with a vengeance. As it turns out, the stores aren’t the only ones enjoying cash inflows this Black Friday. We’ve often turned to our charts to see how things are shaping up over the long... -
With Short-Term Drop, Even Soros Bullish on Gold
Posted on November 20, 2012 | No CommentsHaving revisited our monthly and weekly gold charts yesterday, today we’ll take a look at the daily. Again, looking back to last month’s chart, we’re reminded that the technical were looking very overbought. RSI was well above 70, with the MACD clearly embedded to the topside. Our expectations in light of these indicators, and the then-recent rise in gold, were... -
Gold Showing Signs of Setting up Strong Rally
Posted on November 19, 2012 | No CommentsToday we’re going to revisit our monthly and weekly gold charts. Regular readers may remember our discussion on these charts about a month ago. While using the daily and hourly charts can give us a short-term perspective, it’s by using these charts that we can gain a better picture of the long-term. Back then our weekly chart revealed a rather... -
BO Repeat was Inevitable; so Now What?
Posted on November 8, 2012 | 2 CommentsAs we approached the election season it appeared that Obama pretty much had this one wrapped up. In spite of the fact that the underlying foundation of our economy is as bad as it’s been in decades, the markets have shown some strength. In light of this, and the fact that the incumbent basically never loses when markets are up,... -
Metals and Miners Poising For Post-Election Rally?
Posted on November 2, 2012 | No CommentsAs we enter the weekend, we’re seeing metals weaken into the weekend. This is actually rather exciting, even though it’s causing our positions to drop against the dollar. As I mentioned the other day, Novembers are historically good for metals. With us pressing recent lows, it’s likely that this is setting up a great buying opportunity going into the holidays.... -
November Typically Good to Metals
Posted on November 1, 2012 | No CommentsAs we reach the end of October, we’ve had some encouraging movements in the metals. However, gold bugs are a bit discouraged too, since we’ve been unable to retake previous highs. Many speculated that 2000 gold was in the bag this year, but are not skeptical. It’s quite possible they’ll be very pleased in time for Christmas. November shows a... -
Perth Mint September Sales Surge
Posted on October 17, 2012 | No CommentsIf Australia’s Perth Mint is any indicator, demand for both gold and silver skyrocketed in September. During a month in which gold climbed over $80, to 1780, and silver rose about $3, to about 34.70, the Perth Mint reported more than twice the previous month’s sales in gold, and almost four times August’s sales in silver. Since the Perth Mint... -
QE-101: It’s All About the Banks
Posted on October 4, 2012 | No CommentsThe fact is, as we’ve seen, QE isn’t restricted to bonds. It can focus on any aspect of the market, from houses to businesses to bonds to stocks. But the risk, regardless of what the FED does, is planted firmly on the shoulders of the taxpayers. Consider this observation from the Financial Times Lexicon regarding QE. Of course there are... -
The Next QE May be a Definition of Terms
Posted on September 27, 2012 | No CommentsJoe Weisenthal, writing for Business Insider, doesn’t tell us much about what he expects of the next step in QE∞, but he does offer some insight into what he thinks will be the next step for the Federal Reserve. Rather than offer more stimulus via the printing press, he expects the FED to define their terms in such a manner... -
QE∞ Not Good Enough = Time for QE∞Squared?
Posted on September 25, 2012 | No CommentsAs we mentioned yesterday, there are those who are already calling for QE∞2? As we discussed, the focus of QE∞ was on mortgage backed securities. And the writer we considered yesterday shared thoughts about the fact that QE∞2 was already taking place quietly, in the form of the FED purchasing bonds from the U.S. Treasury. Michael Gayed, Chief Investment Strategist... -
Gold’s Short-term Response to QE∞ is Just Noise
Posted on September 20, 2012 | No CommentsJust as QE∞ seems to have caused the markets to pop, so too have the metals gained since Ben Bernanke’s speech. Take a look at this GLD (Gold ETF) chart and see if you can figure out exactly when Ben Bernanke made his speech. Tough to tell? Interestingly, it looks like the market got scared for a few moments just...
