Sun, 13 Sep 2009 08:54:50 -0400

Don't be surprised if a final assault by the short sellers is around the corner. Don't let them shake you out. Add to your portfolio as they create the last correction before 1000 is viewed in the rear view mirror.

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 09:53:46 -0400

Any correction here is a last attempt to shake out the weak holders, don't fall for it. Take advantage of this head fake and make the short sellers buy back above their head fake. No guts no Glory.

What's CNBC's Problem with Gold?

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:45:35 -0400

Gold Fools: Not Fools Gold. Gold will leave as many weak holders as possible. CNBC commentators will certainly pay a price for their bias's. Gold will always look too expensive as it makes it's move. Most of the big money guy's will be in Marthas Vinyard for the entire month of August. Look out $1500 Gold. Stay strong and don't let the talking heads shake you out.

Is Black Gold Worth More than Real Gold?

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:55:33 -0400

If I remember correctly, President DeGaul, ( not sure of the spelling) ,of France was demanding gold instead of the dollar that caused the freeing of the price of gold. The last 90% silver was 1969 and then for a time 40% silver then none. BAD MONEY ALWAYS CHASES OUT GOOD MONEY. FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.ha and not to mention the copper penny. Don't get me started. I'm sticking with gold until I have a way to store oil .Good trading,

Gold Downgraded to Underweight - National Bank Financial

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:51:27 -0400

I'm adding some smaller names to my core holdings here. Gold is very fickle, and will shake all weak holders out before a big move which, I think, will surprise many. Don't weaken now.

You have hit the nail squarely on the head. If I didn't know better I would think I had said that. Thanks for this article for those who are new to these markets. Gold usually shakes all of the weak holders out before a big move. Gold rewards loyalty.

Can Selling Options Make You a Better Trader?

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:00:41 -0400

If you sell call options against long positions, you can target a profit if the option is called, The premium can reduce cost of your position. If your position goes down then the cost to buy back the option should decline also. Good luck JR

Gold Traders Whipsawed

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 12:20:44 -0400

The Gold market always shakes out the weak holders before a rise and tends to capture them in a correction. If it was easy everyone would be in the gold market. That's not going to happen if history is any indication. May you be blessed with good trading. JR

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 08:48:05 -0500

I expect the $900 / $920 area to hold and consolidate. a 100 dollar trading range may be in order rather than wild swings for a short period of time.

Barrick Gold Nails the Hedge

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:46:58 -0500

I agree that Gold will be much higher, but I would hesitate to short the dollar. The value of any currency is in relation to another currency and not its true value, and easily manipulated . Stick with Gold. Good Luck..............

Will Silver Now Outperform Gold?

Tue, 17 Feb 2009 10:41:10 -0500

Naidle, I'm charting, PAAS, SLW, & HL. My thoughts are as listed. PAAS is breaking out, SLW is looking to and HL has to recover from missing a debt payment but has been punished for that . HL could be a longer term speculation on a recovery from these depressed levels. Hope this helped.

Gold Will Shine in 2009 (Part II)

Welcome to 'Ermflation'

I have often wondered how NERO could sit idly by and fiddle while ROME burned. Now I know because I have seen with my own eyes over the past 8 years. If you live long enough all questions will be answered. Hopefully we will learn from our mistakes.
