All Eyes on the U.S. Dollar

Perhaps the US Fed should be buying up Aussi, CND and any other currencies that can be backed up with hard assets before the US dollar drops to very low levels.

There's Light At the End Of This Tunnel

I use a tighter RSI band of 15 and 35 between buy and sell, the traditional 20/80 rule dont work due to volatility and outside factors.

Where Are We in the Stock Market Cycle?

I use the 1/4 rule. A retailer generally relies on buying a commodity for 1/4 of the selling price, 1/4 is the costs, 1/4 is profit and 1/4 is growth. When the resource based market share price reaches 1/2 of the 52 week high, I consider it is at cost and a good time to think about buying, anything below 1/3 is a buy and less than 1/4 is a steal. The only thing that will lower these ratios is if the number of consumers compared to 52 weeks ago changes to the downside. I believe 1/4 of the 52 week low is bottom, if the number of consumers remains the same.

Hedge Fund Liquidation in Pictures

When the first hedge fund went belly up a while back, I dumped all my oil/gas resource stocks that were hedged, except Uranium. I think a lot of oil/gas resource stocks were dumped rightfully or wrongfully for this reason, I learned my lesson from the herd mentality around financial stocks. No where to hide it seems.
