Wall Street Breakfast

the trumpster knows his stuff, he cuts thru the crap, even on the FantasyFuturesExchange... we've seen a lot more volatility, and there have been some big shifts in the commitment of traders(COT) charts, big players squaring up or reversing--Trump is a great indicator because he's a big player but still outside the direct wall street orb---pk

A Closer Look At The Gold Miners ETF

AGREE! actaully surprised at some of those weightings!!! thats why switching a lot of money to E MINI GOLD FUTURES, it's a more direct way to invest, ties of a lot less capital (10x leverage), very liquid and easy to get in and out of ---of course still like the gold etfs and a variety of individual stocks but the minis offer an easy pure play----also I like to look at the NEW "Commitment of Traders Charts" which chart the change in over all postions of: Big Speculators vs Small Speculators vs Commercial Hedgers ----this is a great way to evealuate prevailing and changing sentiment of Deep Pockets, Smart Money and the Little Guy---charted over 4 or 5 months so you can see which way each one is heading, this can be found at FantasyFuturesExchange... thanks for the post and concise info on each etf weighting! --PK

What's So Mysterious About Crude Oil?

AGREE!!!! Commitments of Traders is showing some interesting stuff ---we've put the COTs into a unique chart format so you can see how the big specs vs small specs vs commercial hedgers have fluctuated over the last 5 months---we also like the fact that the margin to hold a mini-crude is only $1,500 right now---and agree with your assessment that pullbacks--especially $10 ones could be a great opportunity!!! pk of FantasyFuturesExchange...

Yamana Gold: This Hand Demands to be Played

sounds good! we like to try and mix our gold stock plays with the e-mini futures, long or short depending on what way you're playing a particular stock, for example it would be easy to put a decent hedge on your AUY pick with a mini gold contract (margin is only $580 per contract) anyway---the minis are also a good way to play gold market outright as the leverage is far greater than stocks---what time frame do you anticipate on the possible meridian deal happening or not??? pk of FantasyFuturesExchange...
