this october period seems to be stagnant. we are groping for a bottom all the while basing for another move higher. does the 1444 get tested . do lower #s enter into the picture. i dont know . gold is in a rally phase here. do we test the highs? i dont have answers but what i see is low rates, negative rates, the fed pumping 75 billion a day in freshly printed money. all the while the deficit keeps climbing. there are several political hot spots in the world saudi arabia, syria as turkey seeks a new ottoman empire.
the chart patterns for the pms are encouraging for those who can wait its a pause on the assault of price appreciation.
the thing i dont get in the financial landscape is buying bonds w/negative rates. when i met richard russell in 1978 i was a muni bond clipper. he said to me "bonds are guaranteed confiscation of wealth" it didnt take me long to chew on that statement .
