The weekly chart of the HUI Gold Bugs index asks a question we have been reviewing inNFTRH for some time now; is the bottoming situation implied by the up-triggered weekly MACD (and confirming TRIX) a ‘W’ bottom in the making that saw its low at 206? Or is it an...

Who wants a strong currency? If that question was for an opinion poll of finance ministers and central bankers, the response would be a firm no one. But in reality, no poll is needed. The last couple of weeks’ action has spoken louder than words.

We are aboard a speeding train that cannot speed up - neither can it slow down - due to fiat, default, and what will be remembered as the greatest credit fiasco in history. And the road is ending just up ahead.

Apologies are becoming increasingly common these days. From the ubiquitous “Twitter apologies” of celebrities to the mea culpas of scandalized politicians, the public has become used to hearing them on a daily basis. It came as a surprise, however, when a former...

One of the primary themes for this letter over the last few months has been the potential of a major market top forming. We now have what I can only call “numerous bells” ringing.

Thank the stars for mathematics, the language of science. Every known aspect of the universe from the movement of the planets and the formation of stars and galaxies, to the propagation of light and radio waves, right down to the intricate darting of subatomic...

In our previous commentary, we took a look at the situation in crude oil from the long- and the short-term perspectives to check whether they confirm the indications from the medium-term picture or not. As we wrote in the summary:

Last week I penned an article titled, Gold Bear to End With A Bank. I warn of the dangerous short-term downside potential in Gold that could mark the end to this bear market. Thus far, this analysis has been on track and has served to protect subscriber portfolios...

The BIG Perspective: Examine the following “Point & Figure” chart from Ron Rosen. This type of chart plots price on the “y” axis while the “x” axis shows time but without uniform distance between years. The long term trend has been up since 1970 and 2001, while...
