The world needs jobs to grow. America is slowly wiping out the middle class. China has no real middle class. The Eurozone is breaking down. Supply will soon outweigh demand. Any form of technology and innovation that can create new jobs, such as alternative energy, are many years away. Americans create iphones. China makes them. Americans innovate. China prospers. But as the standard of living rises in China and a middle class is formed, as do the costs of good sold. Which means eventually, China will charge too much to produce goods and these goods will be produced in more third world-like countries which will have little impact on the world economy as a whole. It all boils down to jobs.

Of course, many factors including strong political will and individual movement could change our theory. But for now, nothing has been shown or proven otherwise.]]> Tue, 20 Sep 2011 18:41:33 -0400

If we are talking short term, we see a bull market until at least the end of the year.

If you would have bought on the dip yesterday, you would have made a lot of money today. Manipulation? Maybe, but the market is still up strong.]]> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:52:32 -0400

Market timing is a very big part of trading. You may not think it means anything, but speculation and predicting the future upticks and downticks is how we make money in the stock market. As long as we're more right than wrong, we will make money. So yes, if you call something and it happens, it DOES mean something. Why? Because we back our words up by investing if we think the markets are going up or down.

Our track record speaks for itself.]]> Sat, 02 Apr 2011 12:59:32 -0400

But if oil prices continue to stay high over a 60-90 period, it will hurt the bottom line for the major producers. The article was not to say that gold is better than the majors or vice versa. It was simply to answer the question why gold producers sometimes fall in share price when gold rises. ]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2011 12:58:04 -0500

But having Level II data is an incredible tool for both traders and investors. There are heavy traders that take advantage of market depth to short and buy long, all day long - especially in more thinly traded markets such as the junior mining explorers.

Level II doesn't show everything, but we would never make a trade without it. ]]> Sat, 05 Feb 2011 13:56:15 -0500

As far as capital gains, I also agree that the capital gains tax should be removed on precious metals...better yet, removed completely!

Regarding the capital gains issue:

Our point on capital gains was simple. You had made a comment that, "(Gold) If it goes up in value, you pay capital gains on it. If you hold cash, you never pay capital gains on it."

It depends on what kind of cash you are holding and where its from. For example, if you are holding US cash and you are Canadian, you would have to pay capital gains tax on that US cash when you sell it, or convert it to Canadian...just as you would precious metals or other investments.

Does that make sense? I apologize if I wasn't more clear earlier and thank you for the open discussion comments!]]> Wed, 17 Nov 2010 17:39:07 -0500

The fact, however, is that gold is becoming more and more prominent in today's modern currency market, as the World Bank President has mentioned.

With regards to some of your comments that reference the price of gold and that it may be worthless, please read our past newsletter: equedia.com/blog/view....

"In particular, Gold is as good as cash. Actually, it's better - its climbing while the dollar is sinking. While sceptics continue to say that gold is not a good investment, let's compare it to both stocks and the real estate market. What you are about to read may shock you.

In the past three years: gold is up more than 37%. The S & P 500 is down 26%. US real estate is down 13%.

Winner: Gold

In the past five years: gold is up more than 207%. The S & P 500 is down 7%. US real estate is down 15%.

Winner: Gold

In the past ten years: gold is up more than 475%. The S & P 500 is down 20%. Luckily, US real estate is up 23%.

Winner: Gold

Despite the price of gold, gold is a liquid asset. You can buy things with it, sell it, trade it, and even wear it. (see equedia.com/blog/view....)

While we are not gold bugs, we can see the value of investing in gold. We do, however, like to invest in higher leverage plays such as the junior resource sector where the returns can be substantial, and ROI can come sooner. ]]> Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:51:50 -0500

However, the fact that gold and silver (being physcial) cannot manipulated may actually be wrong in today's modern era of trading. Please see ou newsletter from a few weeks ago that explains this: equedia.com/blog/view....

Market flash: You want the store of value function of money to be stable. It should not go up or down a lot. At times in history where there was a true gold standard for money, improvement in mining techniques and new gold finds caused inflation. I suppose the gold bugs would argue that the gold price of gold is stable, but I'm not so sure.

While we agree that the price of gold is not stable, times in history where there was a true gold standard for money, inflation was minimal. Inflation grows much faster through fiat currencies, as I am sure you may have mentioned before in previous comments.

However, in today's modern era, the gold standard and silver standard has been tried with little success and actually caused major issues, and was thus dropped by the world. This happened all throughout the 1800's when the United States had a bimetallic system of money, however it was essentially on a gold standard as very little silver was traded. A true gold standard came to fruition in 1900 with the passage of the Gold Standard Act.

So back then, gold was cash.

To say that gold is not as good as cash because you have to pay capital gains is also not a fair comparison, as this rule is tied directly to a country's accounting practice. No every country has the same capital gains taxes as the US, or Canada. Also, if you were to buy cash from foreign countries, and that currency goes up in value, you would have to pay capital gains on that "cash" from another country.

As far as stability, while we agree gold is not stable, neither are currencies. One look at the US dollar, the Euro, the Pound, and the RMB over the last 10 years can explain that.

So while gold is not cash, it certainly has been better.

Gold may not have many industrial uses, but do the pieces of paper in our wallets have any? See equedia.com/blog/view.... for more information.

The truth is, everyone is right on some note here. Gold, although has some uses, doesn't do much from an industrial standpoint. But that's not really the point. Unless modern society wants to go back to the bartering system, and trade oil for fertilizer, for cars, for metal, for computers, then maybe gold is worthless...but then so would cash.

Cash is no different than gold. It is worth what people will pay...what they believe it is worth - just like everything in this world.

There is a reason why the US holds the most gold in its reserves of all the countries. There's also a reason why they are the world's reserve currency... ]]> Tue, 16 Nov 2010 14:42:06 -0500

This was implying that his government was fuelling the growth in the stock market through government purchases. Please see: equedia.com/blog/view....

In addition, the quote was implying that Obama was doing whatever he could to sustain the stock market rally, regardless of the future implications it may have on American life. In other words, reckless spending.
