Reassurance is our only FEAR

Okay, with all the news being about Ebola, I did not want to engross my readers with more information that we already know. Let me be the one to put a twist on it.

            Anytime that the government is telling us that we have nothing to fear, we should be very afraid. I am quite sure Hitler told all the countries he took over and the people he killed “not to be afraid” as well. As history repeats itself time and again, a common theme is the reassurance to the people, to reduce panic and fear by the emperors and kings just as they turn their back on their own people and leave them to die. In 2014 I am stunned by the lack of important measures taken to prevent this disease from spreading.

            The incompetence is unreal, we are seeing it with the CDC, the hospitals, even our own president, who is making this seem like we have control over something that is already too big to regain any hope for the soon to be 100,000,000s of people infected. Let’s just estimate 8,000 people out of the say 20 million combined countries in Africa where infected bodies are laying in the streets and handled by family members, with no adequate systems for sewage and water. If it is transmitted by fluids, is it in the water ways and how long till it mutates in some of the highest populated countries and becomes airborne?

 According to Obama there is nothing to fear, and information given by the CDC members is overly reassuring, all is fine, despite the  attempts to track down all passengers and anyone who has come in contact with the infected, or that it costs over $150,000 to clean an apartment after, but its fine to travel. With Americas extreme caution and use of experimental drugs on patients any infected would be idiots not to come here or send a sick family member here or Europe for treatments. We now have an infected nurse flying on not one, but two flights. A nurse spoke out saying some members broke “optional” quarantine and went for soup. We have optional tests at airports and are flying in people from Africa.

Many may think this to be population control. I feel it’s way deeper than that NIH keeps pushing to vaccinate entire countries with a new Ebola vaccine, it may be that the true threat will lie in the vaccine itself. Pharmaceutical companies are just like many of the  bankers and the FED, corrupt and out for themselves. With the healthcare system totally turned around by Obama care and costing 300 billion more than expected. It seems to be nice timing for a major disease to break out that has no cure, the FEDs bubble is bursting and market collapsing, lets blame it all on the outbreak and ISIS while we gain more oil and buy up gold and PMs, sit back and burn the fiat to keep warm.

Interested in Yellen at Janet?

First off let me start by quoting myself...“after this Wednesday, gold will be skyrocketing”, overnight we finally saw the 1% jump in gold, 2% in silver, platinum 0.5% even palladium rose 0.4%. This is just the beginning. Other commodities rose as well with the capital rushing back in, as the USD weakened. The FED announced that they will not raise interest rates, knowing how unstable the economy is. With the focus on the Asian and European market, Britain's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40, showed the USD weaken quickly.

Traders and investors are afraid that Janet Yellen’s will take the views of her predecessors, Alan Greenspan or Ben Bernanke regarding her decisions about monetary policies, which will lead to market volatility as it has before. We can blame this meeting and low interest rates all we want, but Janet is not the only reason we are seeing the market move like this. I feel that people are hypersensitive right now, a lot is happening between ISIS, Japan, Ebola, etc. The world news is pumping us all up to panic, causing the market to act unstable and unpredictable.

The USD continues to drop right after Janet’s announcement, but also after a release came out from a meeting the FED had in September that stated, how if the dollar rises it could very well have a severely negative “impact on the fragile U.S. recovery”. When the FED states that they are worried about a strong USD, you can bet its going to weaken. When this happens, these decisions are made knowing well what will happen and what is happening now, you have to ask yourself why?  What are the true intentions?  This is when you have to look at all of it from new and sometimes odd perspectives.

Higher inflation is on the rise, it is important to get your positions correct and hedged accordingly.  If you have never traded metals now is the time to start, throughout history it has maintained purchasing power, and is a solid investment.

No Sleep in the PM

October first to the eighth the Chinese have a large holiday in which the Chinese markets shut down for the entire week. Being that they dominate a large physical amount of the metals market this week might be the time to buy in when it comes to gold. The only problem that I have is that recent surveys are showing that the “bullish” attitude of investors is at a low when it comes to gold around 18% when compared to the dollar at 87%. I have mentioned before about china and India’s anti luxury bans and feel this plays a huge factor on the low levels. Russia may be the ones to keep an eye on when it comes to buying PMs, forget statistics and fundamentals, technical triangles, etc. When the Russians raise their holdings of gold by 0.6% we should all take note. PMs are still available and cheap right now, this may not be the case soon enough. The uncertainty of global destruction is now. We have major threats to all of us as investors, while the majority of people are listening to what the media is spilling, the untrue propaganda that sways the market and the blatant lies being fed to us. We traders see a bigger picture on a grander scale we are constantly strategizing and thinking ahead. Could the lower prices be intentional by the US to drop the price of gold because our gold vaults are empty and who really knows what deals for the physical PMs are truly taking place.

Keep it on the LOW, LOW

Most traders think the market will turn around if they hold on to their positions. For the most part, they are correct and successful at doing so. Traders do have a technique; they have a strategy and rely on all kinds of information, trends, and data, fundamentals a trader will preach. You can waste days, even years reading traders tips, and articles. These are all opinions; you cannot predict environmental or political changes. You could follow the scripted rules of trading such as. “Keep the money and the trades moving, find a strategy and stick to it,buy low, sell high, and my personal favorite, rule number one, make money, rule number two repeat number one”. Most trading information is just peoples ideas of what will happen, and charts are only a small part of the art form that is trading. Right now, the metals market is volatile and bearish and trending downward, silver had hit its lowest in four years. Is it an oversold market? Is it the suppression by the central bankers? Volume is shifting the market and playing a major role in all of this. Looking at the charts, there seems to be no indication change is in sight for metals. Even looking at a sixty-minute chart, where you can see the fist indication of any movement, none is in sight. My thoughts are timing truly is everything, let us say you have the ability to move the market, and not really play by the Comex rules. We know certain times of the day traders are much more active. 11 am is the highest; the lowest is around 5 pm East Coast time. The lowest time is when less people trading, so it takes less volume to move the market. Looking at volume should be key to making your move. Volume can indicate the hidden agenda of the “rule breakers” they may be playing on something we do not see. The public will react to the volume change. Humans they know are surprisingly predictable, you can bet the billions of dollars spent yearly on the psychology and sociology of marketing teams will guide those major players’ trades. They are not just trading in the market they are trading the conformity of human nature not. As a trader, you need to look at all the information out there differently. Say you are an art critic, a chart would be an abstract painting anyone could interpret it in so many ways, seeing all the different aspects and beauty in the way it looks. However, “market activity” is what it is, it does not lie, that is a huge indicator on what move to make. Volume con be controlled to an extent, for instance, we do not see the low in gold that we do in silver. Indicating the buyers are refusing to let the sellers take it lower, you can see this by looking at the volume. This is only some information; let us not get ahead of ourselves by believing that the downward trend is at an end. All this shows is the buyers won this round.

E = mc2

The U.S, Britain, China, Germany, and Russian UN Security Council members are now making deals with Iran for nuclear weapons. Oh! I’m sorry, not weapons, for “environmental purposes” (said sarcastically). This deal is to take place by November 24 Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron seems to be leading the support Rouhani campaign. Cameron said, “That Iran should also be given the chance to show it can be part of the solution, not part of the problem.” This said from a country who wanted nothing to do with him since 1979. Rouhani after publicly blaming the U.S. for the way the Middle East has been overcome with violence and terrorism. Or… he is still hurt about us taking his nuclear power away in 2005, when his over confidence and ego got him demoted (said he resigned) from his position as the top nuclear negotiator. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) saw his need for nuclear “power” to be a sensitive topic with the political issues at the time. Now he wants to team up. Please do not forget in the first press conference after he won the election, Rouhani said, "the ultimate responsibility to resolve the Syrian civil war should be in the hands of the Syrian people.” Now such a change of heart in Rouhani, such a humanitarian. He who has in the past been accused of being “power hungry” with an extreme vendetta against the U.S. We now have a common goal in defeating ISIS. Even the Brit’s are reopening embassies and we are making nuclear deals. Perhaps instead, we should team up with the Shia, the Sunni, and the Kurds. We MUST have other reasons or is it other resources? Is the U.S. worried about Iraq’s new government or military operations that no one seems to be talking about? Iran saw what happened in Afghanistan and the Karzai government we created and what came out of that. So yes, the faith Iran has in the U.S. is understandably limited, if any at all. It seems Rouhani knows that we are all in need of Iran’s help to defeat the threats taking place right now; he seems to know he is holding all the aces and the nuclear power is on the table. Right now The movie War of the Roses is somewhat how our relationship with Russia is now and Rouhani publicly slandering the U.S. resembles an initiation for the Russians to trade “good and services” for oil. Over 500,000 barrels a day from Iran are an estimated offer. What does this mean? Well, we are looking at a complete shift in the oil market for starters. With the contracts for oil that India and China hold with Russia being met, Russia can cut America’s distribution by offering a reduced rate. Rouhani is an extremely smart individual not only an expert in economic trading since ‘89’; he has also been a member of the Supreme National Security Council. Iran's Assembly of Experts member as well as the country's top negotiator with the EU three on the topic of nuclear technology in Iran and his resume is truly extensive. If and when Rouhani teams up with Russia officially, they can provide enough oil to supply all of northeast Asia and more. Rouhani also knows Russia can help them go nuclear; they have been helping them for years. Watch those oil prices fall. Its no wonder Obama was on such a massive campaign to remove oil restrictions. Will gold keep falling as well? Holding short at 1309.88, current price at 1218, with a gain of 7% Fxmade2trade.

Lquid GOLD PLATED currency

Forget the presidents gut wrenching speech taking away from the reality of a plaguing virus with no cure, or the fear that we are even considering aligning ourselves with the brutal Iranian president Hassan Rouhani and his visit to the UN in New York. Lets talk about what counts MONEY. Zhou Xiao chuan the man whose priority was to tackle corruption is now looking at being “demoted” or blatantly fired from his infamously corrupt government position as China’s Central Banker. This seems to be along with the anti corruption policies in place by Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who seems to be adamant about winning over the love and trust of the Chinese people. Reports came out on the “Wealthy Chinese” leaving do to an array of contributors, such as air and food quality and a lack of quality education. Stated in the Hurun survey of the wealthy people with assets of seven million on average, invest around 16% overseas. Good for us financially, bad for them. Our wealthy flee to run from taxes, they are running to us for things that will not be able to change for decades. We have to remember they are a dictatorship. All the hype of the Alibaba stock the man behind the vision, from poor to rich, a heartwarming story that so many investors bought into are now watching the horror movie that they really “paid” for. Nothing is done without the government’s approval (or hand in jar). As soon as the news of the central banker Zhou Xiao Chuan came out today the USDX spiked 1/2% higher and the USD even stronger. What a joke I live in the U.S. our economy is “crap”, I guess in a paper and digital world the dollar is soaring. While people discus in forums and chat rooms, the close relationship Obama and Zhou have “tennis buddies” and such, jokes regarding how the new banker of China will have Goldman Sachs on his resume and Obama as a reference. This is all too real for most traders. As we dump U.S. equities = money leaving U.S. investors will be looking to Asia for a better yield = money in Asia. The central bank is supposed to create price stability all this is causing, is liquidity. As the dollar climbs I hold gold short at 1309.88 current price 1217.00 with a gain of 7% Fxmade2trade

YOU"RE as COLD as ISIS

Traders seemed undaunted as the U.S. crusades a “bomb ISIS” movement and when September 11 came and went and the S&P only fell 1% all seemed unchanged on the market even with the loom of a terrorist attack. As the U.S. government tries to dumb-down the reality of what it would mean for investors if, and when they do attack the U.S. so for now we are looking at dipping our hands into yet another war that we for now have nothing to do with… well, at least not on out home turf. The reasons could vary from protecting our country, or a much deeper level of ways that the government would be able to access areas and acquire resources otherwise unobtainable to the U.S. The pentagon estimates we will spend close to seven million a day for operations in Iraq and Syria. Is this a coincidence that all our involvement in wars and “aid” are places of major oil lines or mines? Even the Malaysian crash let us into inaccessible areas and see what kind of technologies our “competitors” hold. Do we really have the money to spend seven million a day? The impact on our already extensive debt, bodes the market will have a monumental crash. When this event takes place and this is only a matter of time before traders fear takes over. They will start bailing on the USD, searching for more physical investments. If you do have metal in the physical form hold on its coming soon my friends just do not rush it and be pulled in to soon.
