  • The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can ever help rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population — the intelligent ones or the fools? I think we can agree it’s the fools, no matter where you go in this world, it’s the fools that form the overwhelming majority.

    Hendrik Ibsen-

  • The mainstream (corporate) media is nothing less than the unofficial accomplice of the banking crime syndicate which is running/ruining our markets and economies. Nowhere is this despicable relationship more apparent than in its deliberate efforts to grossly misinform investors on the critical subject of risk.

    Jeff Nielsen

  • The business of investing rationally becomes problematic when market participants are pursuing maximum nominal returns without a second thought as to the real (inflation-adjusted) value of those returns and the location of the savings. Our Goal is to maximize safety.

    --

  • Comparing the currencies is like picking the prettiest horse in the glue factory. The history of all fiat currencies shows they all end up being valueless. Gold’s nobody else’s liability and it has no counterparty risk. It’s provided protection against destruction of wealth for centuries and we’re at the cusp of another major chapter in its illustrious history.

2008 Gold postings

 Posted February 2,2009

Watch the gold lease rates, and silver lease rates, which have each more than tripled in the last two months. It means that vault owners who control large quantities of gold are much less willing to permit other parties to borrow it, plain and simple.

 

Lease rates precede price movement. Bullion bankers, including central banks, are reluctant to lease their physical supply. The lease game is thoroughly perverse. One effect rarely noted is that short sellers within the futures contracts might be squeezed due to leasing challenges. If they have a harder time to roll over contracts, by means of higher required posted margin or higher cost of leased gold, then they must cover. A price rally ensues.

note: The reality behind Gold lease is that Gold that has been leased out by a central bank will NEVER be returned. It was sold by the leaser. Hence, leasing Gold ends up to be exactly the same as selling Gold.

Click on the chart Dec 27 - The £ chart shows similarities with Argentina

As of August 4, $-Gold and most gold indexes have disregarded their previous breakout signals. Contrary to my belief, $-Gold and $-Silver have fallen back all the way to their Support levels. This is an example that markets sometimes can behave in a irrational way. The Secular Bull trend is still intact and we are probably just seeing another higher low. There is no doubt that we shall see a level of $ 1,000 to $ 1,200 by the end of this year.  Just that the actual happenings could delay it for some weeks...too early to call.

If you're really in doubt about Gold, check the information and charts under Subprime CDO.  It is is really scary!

Commercial shorts keep on falling and small investors become negative. An excellent sign!

“Time is more important than price; when time is up price will reverse. (W. Gann)”

  • Gold bullion broke out above a 4 year old high of $192.00 in February 1978. Ten months later in November 1978 gold bullion went below the breakout point of $192.00. Two months later gold made a new high at $258.00. That was followed by a corrective low in April 1979 that bottomed at $231.80. Nine months later, in the month of January 1980, gold bullion reached a high of $850.00.
  • Gold bullion broke out above a 28 year old high of $850.00 in the month of January 2008. This was 30 years after gold broke out to a new high in February 1978. Ten months later, in this month, October 2008, gold appears to have bottomed below the 28 year old high of $850.00. This is 30 years after gold bullion bottomed below the breakout level in the month of November 1978. If this 30 year pattern is to continue there must be a move to a new high for gold in December 2008. We had a new high in for Gold expressed in many currencies. Only the price of Gold expressed in Dollar is still 25% lower...
  • November 19 - Putting it all together – falling volume, falling prices, and falling open interest - means that the market is running out of traders willing to keep the trend going. There is a high probability that the downtrend is coming to an end.

Updated November 18, 2008 - Ratio Gold versus the Philadelphia Goldmines index.

The ratio is in an absolute BUY mode!


Updated November 4, 2008 - RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) and (full) Stochastics  

weekly Nov. 4 - monthly Nov. 4

RSI (Relative Strength Indicator) and (full) Stochastics can be excellent trend reversal spotters. However, one must take into account that the RSI or Relative Strength Index must be interpreted in a different way depending upon the cycle. In other words, in a SECULAR BULL market, the RSI will seldom breaks below the 50 level. In a SECULAR BEAR MARKET, the RSI will seldom break above the 50 level. In other words, a RSI below the 50 level in a Bull Market is a Buy signal and a RSI above the 50 level in a Bear Market is a Sell signal. Stochastics show similar characteristics.  The weekly fast stochastic shows an bottom is imminent. Note that Gold indicators remain in their Buy zone.


Updated October 15, 2008 - Moving Averages and MACD applied to Gold.

The 65 Week Moving average is an excellent indicator for the long term trend of Gold. During a Secular Bull Market, the price normally stays ABOVE its 65 week moving average. Hence, each correction towards this moving average is to be seen as a Buy opportunity.

The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is one of the simplest and most reliable indicators available. MACD uses moving averages, which are lagging indicators, to include some trend-following characteristics. These lagging indicators are turned into a momentum oscillator by subtracting the longer moving average from the shorter moving average. MACD centerline crossovers occur when the faster moving average crosses the slower moving average and hereby generate a sell or a buy signal.

Divergences between the price evolution and the RSI, Slow and Fast Stochastics are also important additional indicators. October 15, 2008 the charts show are positive divergences.

 


Updated October 3, 2008 - Long Term Charting applied to €-Gold.

October 3rd, 2008 the BEAR TRAP has been confirmed!

Long Term Charting applied to Gold is explained with a chart of Gold expressed in Euro. This chart is different to the one expressed in Dollars because its falling exchange rate against the Euro.

Technically, once Gold or a Share brakes out of a consolidation, it has to retest this level. In other words, the last consolidation/resistance for Gold was  € 550 / € 560; Gold broke through this level and rose to € 650 some months ago. Since it has been coming down and has successfully retested this level. Resistance has become support. LONG TERM € Gold has fallen back to its 1980 top and also tested it (the Good-bye kiss). Hence the 1980 top resistance has now also become a support level. As of August 15, this support has been broken and €gold has even penetrated its secular uptrend.

 


Updated September 18, 2008 - French Curves like Gold.

French Curves like Gold. A French curve is a mathematical formula that works rather well on Gold and currencies. It acts as a long term support line and at the same time it shows the (potential) acceleration.  A penetration of the French curve would light up a caution sign. During the month of August, the French curve has been penetrated!  The caution sign has been turned 'ON'. The odds are however that we may have seen a BEAR TRAP.

 


Updated September 16, 2008

Little can be added to markets which speak for themselves. This is the LAST time in our lives we are to see these price levels for Gold. For those who are still in disbelief, write it on the wall and remember it in some months from now.

  • Fishing for a bottom ranges from difficult to impossible...but Gold starts to slide too much...too fast..

  • Gold broke through the $ 840 and $ 780 levels and is now steady at $ 760. Do not panic if you see a level of $ 750 to $ 730. This will probably be the last leg down. At this level, Gold will run into really heavy resistance (like the Dollar is running in right now). With the nationalization of Fannie and Freddie and the problems of Lehman and other financials, fundamentals keep on moving into favor of Gold and Silver.

  • Open interest shows a HUGE amount of investors going SHORT on gold. The monetary authorities have accomplished exactly that they intended to do:  now the bullion banks can move to the long side of the market in Gold, Silver and shares and position themselves for what they all know is coming. As for the Dollar, the action shows the panic. Once the last buyer moves in, the price promptly collapses.
  • Gold is still in the strongest Buy mode since 1984!

This doesn't mean prices will reverse 'tomorrow'. History shows this can take several weeks. Bottom fishing is an extremely difficult exercise.

The 12 Moon cycles

Each year Gold forms what I call the 12 Moon Waves.  The 12 Moon cycle starts traditionally somewhere in the 1st Quarter of the year and lasts until late spring. It is followed by what I call the Summer doldrums. August-September, Gold wakes up and starts its 1st Autumn up leg. October sees a short correction before the last and strongest upswing starts that runs all the way into the new year.
