    'Safe Haven' death spiral - part II

    Might as well buy some shit you like. Do you have a Springfield Armory XD(m) 13+1 .45 ACP? Or some Federal Guard Dog self-defense ammo in same? Lead has always been a safe store of wealth. Or if you absolutely must remain in the market, try a fallen high-flier like DNDN. I'll sell you mine after...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    Today's chart shows a buy for the fifth straight day. I have compressed the price scale to be unreadable so you will take my recommendation on faith. Skeptics may cavil, but this is the tool I actually use to trade silver, heigh ho! It is a sophisticated empirical algorithmicization of the...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    Your post is semiotic for us both. But it is not that easy. I cannot simply take your money, lead you through a multiplicty of confusing and frustrating exercises to convince you that it is your fault when you ultimately and ignominiously fail, and certify you to be an Officially...

    other forums then ET.

    ZeroHedge has its virtues as a source of breaking financial dirt. The quality of the posting is one notch above ET's scatalogical standards. I post there whenever article authors read like they might be ET refugees needing to be put in their place.

    US Mint Announces the Copper American Eagle

    From tonight's surprise press release: "The US Mint is pleased to introduce the newest coin in the overwhelmingly popular American Eagle series: the Copper American Eagle. In recognition of the fact that rampant irresponsible commodity speculation has driven the price of the Gold and Silver...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    I am the best trader I have ever seen trade live. But obviously irrelevant as a silver trading guru, judging from the lack of response. I'll go peddle "commodimetric analysis" somewhere the traders are more gullible.

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Thanks. Just did. With the expected results. Point for you. I failed my own test by being so suggestible.

    S&P Monthly Technicals

    Is it possible that what you see is simply the response to the nutso EURUSD? And that it has fundamentally nothing to do with the health of our market?

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    I have formed an hypothesis. The majority of ET posters do not respond directly to other posters because they know that if they did so they quickly would be winkled out as worse than dumb machines, as idiot humans. Hypothesis testing follows. And just so you know what my standards are, as a...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    My mistake. Does your friend give lessons? I have never watched anyone trade but myself, so I no role models to imitate.

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    An even more bizarre Turing perversion is the responders here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=225187&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 who know from the start that they are responding to an idiot. Those responders paradoxically are convincing me of their intelligence by the...

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Here http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=225281&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 is a queer case Turing himself could never have imagined. A human trying to convince himself of his own intelligence. The flies do not seem to be convinced. Amazingly, recent posting seems to come from...

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Insomnia. And mentally trying out some ideas in the overnight index markets. I think ET may be more calming than late night infomercials for trading systems which produce unimagineable wealth. But I think I found exactly what I am looking for in this thread...

    ET as a Special Case of the Turing Test

    Coming from ZeroHedge, I am struck by the dramatic difference in the quality of the dialogue between the two sites. Exercising an appropriate newcomer's politeness, I will not be more specific. My immediate reaction is that ET emulates multiple ongoing Turing tests of various fringe kinds...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    You have a talent I will never possess. After spending that "f&$#@ time" all I have to show for it is a few dubious squiggly lines on a chart and a handful of doubtful algorithms I pretend to believe in. I believe that it is a matter of character. Those few intuitives like you have bold...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    Admirably simple. I use that for gold. But how you determine what a dip in silver is?

    Gold/Silver Spread Trade

    What of the case that silver goes up and gold goes down? As Lord Keynes famously wrote, "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

    Gold is dirt

    By what measure, as spot is down only 3% from the recent peak as I write?

    Trading Silver Commodimetrically

    Should I have bought below spot $35? I did. Should I have sold above spot $45? I didn't. In neither case did I decide quantitatively. I could buy only when it was "too cheap" or sell when it was "too dear." I recently became inwardly embarrassed that silver is the only investment vehicle which I...

    A Commodimetric Approach to Trading Silver

    I have chosen EliteTrader to try out on fellow silver bugs a new way to make trade decisions. It is not indicator-based. It is not oscillator-based. It is not retrace-based. Rather it employs an entirely new analytical approach I call commodimetric, for lack of a better term. My goal is to...
