Investophoria - "that feeling of triumph when you tame the bear and the bull"

All that Glitters....

2011-03-01T22:30:00.000-05:00

First off I am going to address one of the few open recommendations I put up in my last post. This trade has so far panned out to plan. After a final surge and throwover the upper trendline to complete the entire pattern from $17.90 / share, the stock is entering a large corrective stage that should play out over several more weeks and possibly months. Initial taget is the gap-fill at

Very Quick Update on Closing one Open Position

2011-02-04T16:10:00.000-05:00

At the end of August last year I published This chart: And intiitated a long position on TBT (a short position on treasuries) due to the terminal pattern and nearly unprecedented optimism. Since that time US Treasuries have significantly fallen in value, even as QE2 put a guaranteed bid on the billions of dollars per day traded in these bonds. As of today, optimism is fairly negative towards

Silver's "Double Tap" is a Strong Sell Signal

2010-12-06T13:17:00.000-05:00

Silver broke to record highs again today, screaming up to another 30-year peak and above the $30.00 / oz mark. This is where I am going to take the opportunity to hedge against potential losses in the physical holdings I have accumulated for the past 8 years, as well as a great trade setup. As of this moment, gold has not confirmed silver's high which is a telling sign of massive exhaustion in

Telling Bar Patterns and Record Volume

2010-11-09T17:08:00.003-05:00

This is going to be a quick post. Silver is in a blow-off top stage, as mentioned in my previous post, and in commodities these are generally spectacular, immensly participated in, and that the subsequent crash is usually at least as breath-taking as the run-up preceding it. Gold, Silver, and the HUI all had daily reversal bars today - quite a feat considering all 3 popped to significantly

What people DO.....

2010-11-03T17:51:00.000-04:00

True believers in a massive deflationary wave are few and far between. In fact, among professional analysts and more "renowned" forecasters, you can count the number of real deflationists on one hand - maybe two if you stretch things. The large majority of forecasters, and more importantly the investors who listen to them, are predicting inflation. Hyperinflation is a fairly common term these

The Treasury "Bubble"

2010-08-30T15:15:00.000-04:00

A huge majority of investment "experts" and pundits watching the action unfold in the treasury markets have been treating the recent upswing in prices as its own little corner in the big picture. Investors and advisors alike regard treasuries as relatively insulated from the rest of the markets, or at best correlated in an inverse manner. However, when I look at treasury bonds, all I see is a

Update for August 11, 2010 - The Breakdown

2010-08-11T20:04:00.000-04:00

In my last forecast I wrote that the highest probability was that the Dow would push to new highs before rolling over. The ideal scenario called for a burst above the rising trend line followed by a quick reversal, which would kick-start a resumption of the larger-degree bear trend. While the upper trend line was still over 80 points from being breached, the market behavior still met the

3 Charts and a Happy Friday!

2010-08-06T22:47:00.001-04:00

I just have 3 charts today, all of the Dow Jones Industrials. Just a snapshot of where we are in history. My position on other assets (gold, silver, USD, oil, etc) remains the same; We are either in the earlier stages of a major decline (silver, gold, oil), or starting major trend turning points, both bearish and bullish (Dow, S&P500, $USD, Euro). Something to contemplate. Have a great

Did the Market's Corrective Pattern Top Out Today?

2010-07-29T12:53:00.000-04:00

I have been warning investors for many months now that this market is going to suck in the maximum amount of long participants before beginning its larger-scale decline. Today's gap-up from the open was a very high probability exhaustion-gap which carried the Dow to a new intraday recovery high. From that point on, prices started falling immediately and the movements look extremely impulsive.

Opportunity: Made?

2010-05-11T22:53:00.001-04:00

In my last article I covered one of the companies directly involved in the oil spill, and suggested that more downside was coming. This, I also asserted, would be partially affected by a slide in the price of oil. That was on April 29. Since then, we have seen a significant correction in stock markets the world over. Furthermore, since pointing out that (despite being the "darling" of the

An Opportunity in the Making?

2010-04-29T23:41:00.000-04:00

Any hard asset investor can hardly call themselves such if they don't have at least one oil stock in their portfolio (this, despite the fact it's gooey, slippery, and definitely not hard). I recommended some oil companies in late 2008 and early 2009 which were extremely profitable. However I am looking at another potential setup in the fairly near future (anywhere from a few weeks to several

A Minor Top Is Nigh

2010-04-28T22:14:00.000-04:00

The Greek "crisis" continues to unfold almost uniformly to our expectations, and its ramifications for the EU as a whole are certainly not painting a rosy picture for the coming decades. The first order of business is to deal with the still-open STD short. I picked this bank back in December because it was a mirror of the overall psychology toward the finances of Greece itself, being a

How Do You Measure A Paradigm Shift?

2010-04-19T16:54:00.000-04:00

For the record, this is not a recession. This is not even a very harsh recession. What we are currently smack, settled, and complacently in the middle of is a Depression. A rare, multi-generatonal economic "phenomena" that takes the vast majority of the population by surprise. A depression is not the type of situation where supply has outpaced demand growth (due to minor levels of

The Start of Something [A LIttle] Bigger?

2010-04-16T13:33:00.001-04:00

Today should mark the start of a more significant decline in the broad stock markts that should erase 1/3 to 2/3 of the rally up from Feb 5, before making a final leg up to complete the larger degree bear market rally from March 2009. As I have discussed many times before, the "hope" mentality of previous major market tops will be no less apparent in this move - It will usher in the next major

Market Overview

2010-04-07T15:27:00.001-04:00

The Dow appears to have completed an impulsive advance, and should enter into an ABC correction knocking at least a few hundred points off and resetting the momentum and strength indicators to make way for another upward push. The USD still appears to be in the early stages of an ABC correction of its own that should take it below the 79.00 mark on the index. Gold and silver have still not

The Third (And Wildly Bullish) Scenario for Gold Stocks

2010-03-31T13:06:00.000-04:00

In the article I wrote on March 22 ("When it Breaks, It's Going Somewhere in a Hurry"), I stated that there were two downside possibilities for the price of gold, with the bearish move to at least $950 being the most likely, and the move down to $650 being second most likely. I also mentioned that there was a third possibility, and that the price of gold could move very rapidly to new highs

The Long Term HUI

2010-03-26T11:50:00.000-04:00

One of the tools I use in forecasting is the Elliott Wave theory - this, coupled with indicators in sentiment and momentum, along with measuring the disconnect between fundamentals and reality, allow me to get a clearer picture of where the market is today and where it is most probably headed tomorrow. The two highest probability wave counts for the HUI Index both indicate at least a near term

Waning, Waning, Waning...

2010-03-25T14:31:00.001-04:00

Markets spiked upward today right off the open and continued to push higher, while a look at the underlying foundation shows cracks galore. Gold has hardly rebounded off its move lower yesterday, trading a relatively tight range today, searching for its next move. The odds are still much higher that the next move in the metals is a downward one, coupled with another small surge in the USD to

Precious Metals are in a Key Technical Range

2010-03-22T13:29:00.000-04:00

Gold and silver are both in a fairly tight consolidated trading range over the past several weeks, keeping both metals bound within a compressed psychological battle between mid-term bulls and mid-term bears. This range is extremely important, and is probably the largest hurdle that needs to be overcome before a sizeable move to either the upside or the downside. Our opinion is still that the

In the spirit of the ever-increasing optimism towards China, I'm picking up a decent chunk of shares in a small cellular phone producer trading on the Amex.

Lazy Markets Lazy Psychology

2010-03-16T11:12:00.000-04:00

There is literally almost nothing new to report in the way of developments since our last article - The S&P500 is still sitting just a hair above its January high, currently invalidating the terminal pattern that developed to start the initial move down. This does increase the case for another bullish run in the short-to-mid-term, however the markets have stalled after long time-frame of

The Muddy Waters of the Market

2010-03-12T11:54:00.003-05:00

Today the S&P500 made a new all-time high for the move off March '09. The way this correction has played out is very similar to the one that occurred in July 2009, and we are seeing some similar upside potential now that could very well take the markets 15 - 20% higher than they are right now. As such we have closed off our small term shorts with a break-even on the Dow trade, and are going

Update on STD

2010-03-09T13:22:00.000-05:00

Markets seem to be breaking to the upside, as we thought would be their bias. There is still no real strength to this move and the VIX has failed to make a new low thus far with the upside momentum in stocks. STD gapped down below the gap-fill line we posted with the chart over a month ago. The stock retraced to our target fill zone and may have turned. We are holding the remainder of our

Mystery Week 2010

2010-03-08T09:35:00.002-05:00

This point of of a market is always the hardest to conjecture about. It is the part that either proves or disproves a thesis - in the short-term, which can be a tough pill to swallow. However, nobody ever knows will full certainty what the future will bring - only which is more likely than the next. Not to say we're throwing in the towel, or anything. But, as I have mentioned on here many

There's a Reason the Nosebleeds are Cheap...

2010-03-05T11:32:00.002-05:00

The Dow rocketed up 100 points off the open in what appears to be a terminal pattern. Anyone who has decided to short-term play the corrective pattern by trading long should consider pulling their money off the table, as this market is extremely overbought, and waning fast. I will most likely have some more updates later, however today is a busy day in the off-line realm. If you have any

Goldman Sachs Update

2010-03-04T13:01:00.000-05:00

So Goldman experienced a major breakout to the upside, taking it right up to the higher areas of the ideal resistance band we indicated when we first recommended the short position. This is very positive as it puts the stock into fairly overbought territory with momentum indicators making much lower highs. We are expecting an imminent turn in GS and another multi-week move lower, which will put

The Dow and Gold Today and Tomorrow.

2010-03-02T12:11:00.001-05:00

It looks like the precious metals and stocks are going to take another stab in tandem towards a higher-high in this corrective pattern. Gold has broken up about $15.00 per oz. at the time of this writing. There`s not much else to report as per price movements. Price retracements are taking their time and seem to be meandering up to drag as many into particpation as absolutely possible.

There's a bone that needs to be picked with gold proponents the world over - something that has bothered me for a long time. As a gold bug, and even as a free market economic student in general, it is your duty to hate central banking and everything it entails - even with gold backing a currency, gold bugs hate central banks because the price of gold is fixed and can't "rocket to the moon" based

There is an interesting point to be taken from the barrage of gold-related articles and videos on the net these days (I freely admit that, yes, I have made my fair share of contributions). Gold bugs and gold investors are hyped up and jumping (or were when gold was breaking $1000 - I don't know what they are doing

September comes in with a roar! Hear that lion as he takes a bit out of the USD, sending it breaking down below the support line! Watch him grin wickedly as gold hammers up and through (for a short time anyway) the psychological overhead-anvil of $1000 USD! What a day. What. A. Day. It's like I've been saying all along.

Well, at this point it is tough to say. The rally still hasn't breached its trend line or made a lower-low after a few days of correction. The USD still has not squeaked out of the oh-so-tight

But that will be its last gasp- just when the die-hard gold bugs victoriously wave their hands in the air. There's been a lot of gold bugs around these days. After that,a not-so-orderly decline.

A Contrarian Perspective to Government

For readers of Investophoria, I'm sure it has been made abundantly clear the disgust with which the blog covers government action. Generally governments are incompetent, stupid, greedy, corrupt, evil etc etc. (which they most certainly are, when it comes to issues of money, social advancement, fairness, et al). But there is a contrarian view that should also be acknowledged - one that shows

2009-07-19T12:03:00.003-04:00

In my last post I wrote about how the major US indexes had broken below the neckline on a strong head-and-shoulders pattern. Generally this indicates a significant move to the downside.However what we have seen since then is a few earnings "surprises" that have bolstered the markets and caused another run-up in price off of the neckline. Here's a chart to show you what I mean.A few points to
