As the Credit Crunch was biting back in March 2008, the US Dollar Index (USDX) was bottoming after a drop of over six years fuelled by the War on Terror. Silver had previous topped out at about $21 and was later to visit $50 as the dollar faced the abyss again just...

In last weekend’s report, we covered how the Daily Cycle count was stretching too far, so marking a Nov 15th Daily Cycle Low (DCL) made sense. Doing so means that another DC began on Nov 16, and that puts today’s date in the normal timing band for a new DCL. So...

Risk is one of my all-time favorite board games. It’s among the very few that’s equal parts strategy and luck, and the stakes can’t get much higher than total world domination. It wasn’t uncommon for games between my friends and me to last for hours, sometimes deep...

Well, gold has almost reached my $1100 projected mark, so what’s next? Looking at my long-term point and figure (P&F) chart it looks like the $900 mark is next in line. At the Friday close gold futures were in a free fall, well not really free as someone is...
