ppppplllleese pppleeease mr x. please come back. i'm just cryin my eyes out mr. x. what a hoot! i think you missed a few things slider. bugs don't make a gold bull run. bugs are already vested. by definition. they can sell their bull and add to a correction, but they don't make it run harder on the long side. tell me that's not so? <g> so who makes the bull run faster? hot speculative money in a market bubbling with liquidity.... buying well and above at prices hardly in company with true demand. ergo: the first huge frenzied run in the CRB. Now in corn/ethonol (money that will soon enough find its way to money heaven). and perhaps coming up, money that wants to hedge its very self from the dilluting actions of central banks.... cuz when there's not much left to invest in.... the money itself will devour itself as it is fed a fatter diet. whither to in such a case??????? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. and the absolutely bizarre frenzy of less than prudent investment banking deals of late, private buys of public companies with (yep, cheap printed money) among other things are certainly indicative of the above mentioned illness. i.e. nuttin left to buy. even the 165 million for a painting doesn't seem to be enough place to stash the dilluting cash. i smell change. its not about speculation and quick profits as before; its about running out of places to go. Even Macau is dealed out <g> Gitty up horsey! <g>

I think a common problem with TA is that people make it way too complex and focus on minor signals while ignoring the big picture. For me the first rule of TA, almost the only rule that counts is: Follow the trend defined by the sequence of highs and lows. (This is part of Dow theory.) Forget about trend lines, moving averages, etc. A series of higher highs and higher lows is an uptrend. A series of lower highs and lower lows is a downtrend. As long as the pattern holds the trend is intact and should be followed. As soon as the pattern is broken, watch out. So by that formula, gold is in a long-term uptrend, a medium-term downtrend, and looks like it's starting a short-term downtrend. This points to continuation of the medium-term downtrend, putting the long-term uptrend in serious danger. No need to post charts, these are the basic facts that anyone following gold knows.

Slider, what's your take on energy in the short term? I still have some energy stocks I haven't sold yet. I'm thinking maybe now is my last chance to dump what I have left for a decent price. On the other hand, maybe I'm being too nervous by selling on bad news (meaning US October housing data, China October credit data, and nasty-looking oil price chart.) My short-term timing is not great (probably because I tend to buy on good news and sell on bad news) so I'd appreciate your input. Thanks, Fun-da-Mental

Why did this HUI/Gold rally fail? What was missing? How could all of those breakouts...on all of those charts ...have been so wrong? What piece of the puzzle did all of the pundits on Kitco, 321 Gold, Gold-Eagle and all the gold stock newsletter writers miss...that turned this rally into this? It wasn't rotation...all though that's a good thought and a valid subject in and of itself. Actually, it has a football theme. Bo Schembechler did it well. So did Woody Hayes, Bill Belichick and Charlie Weiss. It's the reason Charlie Weiss (who never played a single snap of College, or Pro Football) just signed a $30 Million Dollar Coaching contract with Notre Dame. It's the reason Woody Hayes made the climb from humble beginnings at tiny little Junction High School and on to Dennison University and eventually to 13 Big Ten Titles and 3 National Championships at Ohio State. It's what allowed Bo Schembechler to make Michigan the winningest team in college football during the decade of the 1970's by going 96-10-3. It's why Bill Belichick is the only head coach in NFL history to win three Super Bowl championships in a four-year span. It's what separates at $40,000 to $60,000 per year High School, or Division II College Coach from a multi-mullion dollar per year earner like Weiss and Belichick. Any thoughts? SOTB
