Monday's action looks like a classic shakeout. If it was a shakeout, who are the shakers-out? Wouldn't you think the gold market too big to be manipulated? If it was a shakeout, and somebody is actually running the market, we should see a rapid, high-volume ascent from here. What do...

Dollar's down. Markets down. Gold down. What's this?

OK - so maybe I was a microtad hyperbolic; yes, the simplest patterns (including those you mentioned) do work more often than not, but they tend to occur at the termini of trends - during the accumulation and blow-off phases. When stocks/markets are fully trending they form more...

Today, most stock executions are based on traders' interpretations of charts. These charts are based on trading data. Much of the daily data is grossly distorted by isolated institutional trades, so that the statistical basis of chart logic is crap. Daily (weekly, monthly) volumes are...

How does one access meaningful charts re. COMPOSITE stocks when the NASDAQ's 3rd-tier Intermarket Market allows wildly out-of-the market trades that are registered in the Composite daily ranges? The Intermarket Market is available only to "institutions" (stock manipulators) who can make single...

The problem with pennies is that they can trap you very sudddenly. When they finally do go you tend to acept break-even, then sit aside and kick yourself whle they quadruple. In the past two months I missed out on $300K on Canadian penny golds after having taken $17K profit. It hurts. Hard...

If the RE bubble is bursting, mightn't a few banks be in jeopardy?

Wouldn't an 'ultimate capitulation by the bears' mark the top of a bull market (or a bull rally in a bear market) ?

Should we bank on the decoupling of the Dollar and Yuan? The Chinese are a coming superpower and may not be easily intimidated into surrendering a major trade advantge.

Currency values are relative and continuously in dynamic flux. There is no 'standard' ; any given currency can change at any moment relative to any other given currency. If a general process of trade-focussed competitive devaluations gathjers steam, the relative values of fiat currencies may...

For live spot quotes, charts, articles, etc. - go to 'kitco.com'. Be forewarned - this site is very bullish on gold.

Deflation is a snowball rolling downhill - it gets bigger and bigger faster and faster until it crashes at the bottom. If you want to stop it you must get it before it's too big and moving too fast. Japan is exhausting itself trying to push the deflation snowball back uphill. America's...

True. Given that the nature of the interplay of the forces involved in the outcome is not visible to us, the best we can do is study the surface manifestations - trends, statistics, etc. Lately I've noticed the manipulation of stock technicals through wildly out-of-market trades on the...

While the dollar index may be nearing a low, this may be only because it's measured against other fiat currencies. If the 'race to the bottom' begins in earnest, the values of currencies may appear to be merely changing tit-for-tat from day to day in an apparently orderly (non-chaotic) fashion...

How about an area of dynamic equilibrium between complete currency collapse and status quo ? For instance: fiat (paper) currencies still in effect, but all greatly reduced in value relative to the only 'real' currency - gold ? Fiat currencies may be devalued in a leap-frog fashion as...

anybody heard of the 'INTERMARKET MARKET' ? it appears to be some b.s. market where promoters can cross a board lot of shares anywhere they want in order to alter the day's trading range. for instance, a few days ago TXN (NEW YORK) had a huge gap to cover; 2000 shares traded at 25.70...
