There’s been a lot of speculation lately as to why the price of gold hasn’t gone up substantially despite reports coming in from all over the country about a new “gold rush.” MarketWatch’s Morning Zhou may have helped shed a little light on the mystery this morning when she wrote: Retail investors sharply increased their demand for gold bars and coins in the past few months as they struggled to find a safe place for their money amid the financial crisis, research shows. But institutional inve

TRADING UPDATE
Same-o, same-o.  Another 52.54 points down on the S&P500 (-6.1%), and 427 points on the Dow (-5.1%).  Personally I think the problem is fund redemptions.  As people’s home equity is wiped and/or they’re losing their jobs, more and more are having to tap into their retirement savings for living expenses and redeem mutual funds - which just hit the bids the next day.  It doesn’t help that people opening their statements in November are processing the large losses of October.
There used to be a saying “as goes General Motors, so goes the United States”.  Back in the recent dot.com times, everyone was going on about how now because of the information age that no longer held true.  Today, the U.S. car companies are being dismissed as bloated, bureaucratic, up their eyeballs in debt, rudderless, and without vision.  All three will most certainly go bankrupt without outside intervention. Hmmm.
Today’s big move created two more REAP signals.

For the last week, March09 ICE sugar futures have been rangebound, between 11.3 and 11.8 cents; trading has shown a very slight increasing trend after a low in the mid 10 cent range during the last week in October. As we have been stating for several weeks, the WTI …

Most of the major market averages closed at new bear market lows, and most made new intraday lows today, breaking through the October lows.  The one main exception was the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  However, since that average accounts for only 30 stocks, it is somewhat irrelevant at this point.  The Nasdaq Composite, S&P 500, […]

While the grains continue to puke, the stock market is sure looking ugly. I find this market action fascinating.  Days like today call for only one course of action…..buy safety.  The dollar is safe, as are Treasury bonds, bills and notes…..for now.
My pattern in the euro has been continuing to work, and the cycle shows no signs of waning.  I traded the euro all day until it was time to go surf.
I went out for a good two hours, and had fun in the cold.  The weather here has been unseasonably cold recently, and the waves have been a nice respite.  I brought along my waterproof i-Pod, and listened to Brahms Clarinet Sonatas, followed by Liszt’s Sonata in B-Minor.  I ended up listening to an assortment of Vivaldi at the end of my surf session.  The waves were nice, and I find my last few outings making me stronger, and […]

Peter Schiff: Gold Will Rise, Dollar Will Collapse - Features and Interviews - Hard Assets Investors  Written by Administrator -  Hard Assets Investor   Norman: Let’s see the performance from this point forward; we’ll look back at this again and we’ll revisit this issue. Let’s talk about something else, something that you have also … and I just mentioned it … the U.S. dollar. You were very, very negative. In the last month, we have seen unprecedented actions by the U.S. Fed in terms of expansion
