Fairy Tails

          Composed of a board of governors, the reserve bank presidents and the seven members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meet eight times a year to discuss and set interest rates, these decisions will control the money supply and the exchange value of the U.S. dollar.  The FED who buys and sells government securities that can tighten or loosen the monetary supply this in return will raise or decrease interest rates.

Today they publicly announced the end of QE3 they perhaps may just call it something else, weigh-able aid, perceptible appease, or computable assist.  They can call it what they want, but the one thing they will not really do is stop it.  They announced their extraordinary positive outlook on our economy.  I do not really know where or how they got their information; they said that they see solid job gains, lower unemployment due to under utilization of labor resources.  That low energy costs will hold down inflation (back to my USD and oil theory) or that the inflation is somewhat diminished.  I do not know what billionaire world they live in. While in the real world we are seeing that the FED is buying up the assets we supposedly own.  We will never pay off our homes or land, we are taxed so much that until we are dead they own us.

If they raise the rates it will cause a huge disruption in the world of politics, and with elections so close it is hard to fathom that Obama would let them.  How long till QE4?  The real economy cannot and will not just be fixed by debt

GDP weather you believe it or not

Can we really blame the gross domestic product reports on the weather?

The U.S. did just that when it blamed the 100 billion lost on snow early this year. China is now following suit of the bazaar claim that cool weather is the reason for the outcome and higher levels of activity growth in the recent outcome of the GDP data. Seems odd to me considering that the pollution in China is so intense you cannot even see the sun at times.  Since when does economic data rely on weather? To better understand this let us look at how we see and get the GDP overall. We have to understand the factors of the data research.

The System of National Accounting (SNA) and the Material Product System (MPA) that was used in the early soviet union, still used by some countries as an alternative to the United Nations System of National Accounts (UNSNA) or (SNA) that focuses on "free market" prices. This is supposed to provide data of economic activity on an international level. Countries cannot provide the same data, it is impossible, the country that invests billions into research, is not going to be the same as a country that cannot be assessed because of geographical factors, or socio-political instability. Some governments will not allow surveys of all kinds to take place. Many factors prevent the “same” data from being entered. The input-output levels can be highly manipulated due to the standard. The UN cannot enforce the same standard. Since it differs from country to country so there are often discrepancies, quarterly and yearly revisions, but as long as they provide sufficient data on national accounts the UN will fit it into its standard, all the other accounts can be reworked up to UN standard. If you look UN Yearbook, under detailed tables the data over decades instead of yearly you will see a trend change significantly. Studies in economics have shown that even the “free market prices” are truly regulated and administered prices in Western countries.

Many people do not even know that the MPA exists. The MPA that uses administered prices, measures the output of “material goods” tangible products, in comparison to “services”, usually in national accounts, the data collected is only to measure the “value” of outputs produced. Comparing the MPS and SNA is how China determines the GDP.

A Bear and a Dragon walk into a bar...

I have referred to the petrodollar before with emphasis on it being the only real cause for war.

With every other geopolitical catastrophe, taking place it is hard to focus on just one.  Russia and China seem to be climbing in bed together with a new energy deal, where Russia would provide oil and gas to China.  Russia, who has been mimicking China and buying up gold in major quantities this last year.  Putin may have more in mind in doing this, knowing this could entice China into further trades we do not see just.  In fact, instead of worrying about its own currency, Russia has had a focus on gold even issuing new policies to purchase much more of the bullion.  Looking at gold ratio charts in the last 13 months Russia’s gold reserves increased over 33%, with more than 10% of Russia’s reserve currency is held in bullion, and that is just increasing daily.  As they get closer and closer to the EU’s 40% would take currency back to the gold standard, then maybe people will see Putin’s plan as he is selling his USD for gold.

We know Putin is not a fan of the U.S. and aligning itself with China could be huge in a long-term perspective considering they could truly isolate themselves with land and sea.  Russia has many raw materials and China has the manufacturing capability.  This could cause a truly massive power shift from the U.S. dominance into the hands of Asia.  Just to give you an idea of the foreign gold reserves these counties are holding, China is number one in the world, with $ 3,821,000,000,000, Russia is number six with $ 515,600,000,000, and the U.S. is number twenty, with only 4% of  what China has, so in lame terms, they have 96% more than us.

            As an American, I am so disappointed in my country, its corruption, and lack of good decisions in general.  We are possibly trying to strong-arm Putin, by driving down the oil prices and the Ruble.  However what we are doing will not last, Saudi Arabia wont let that happen, OPEC wont let it happen, just how long till a civil war takes place and some major bombing right on there pipelines?  Putin is by far not an idiot and has a strong military backing and unlike other leaders, he does not need a vote, poll, or any congressional approval to bomb or make any moves that benefit him.  Russians will survive, unlike the Americans they do not have the faith in government, Central banks, or leadership as most do after the last Dictator let millions starve to death.  It will be interesting if all of a sudden we see oil being bought in the Euro, Europe buying gas and oil from Russia, all because of the gold backing and loss of the petrodollar.

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.

The strength in the economy is not measured buy the market stocks; it is the FEDS balance sheet that rates it.

 Not any branch of government, agency even president can overrule the actions by the FED. The FED it is an independent agency, in fact they have there own rules and standard.  It may seem that the FED is this secret agency, comparable to the Illuminati or the Masons, with all these numbers, statistics, with many things to hide.

On the contrary Rosengren has published federal funds rate targets. He also released limited and edited minutes of committee meetings, along with announcements of interest rate targets, and how long they see those targets remaining.  On Rosengren’s “path to transparency” he even let an outside companies Deloitte & Touche along with one of there own inspectors mandated by congress to audit the fed.

 Of course, who knows how fourth coming they truly were with their information, what relationship these “good ol' boys” have with one another, and to what end the FEDs statements can be manipulated in an audit. The government and the people want into the FED. Now the chairman of the FED Ben Bernanke testifies regularly before Congress, and the public, quite possibly to just ease the media and people from pushing their way in. The FED may just be misunderstood by many, some see it as a essential need to stabilize currency, others see it as doing much more harm than good.  Charles Plosser president of the FED argues, “They don’t have the tools to wind down the stimulus”. If they don’t, then what is the “Doomsday Book”?  Will it ever be released?  The global economy should have collapsed in 2011, the book has been implemented and used since 2008, could it have so much to do with just why it didn’t?

The FED could just be the most sophisticated money-laundering organization on earth ever. They do not want us to know what is in that book.. Could it be page after page of ways to rule the world? Chapter 24.  Ensure a nasty untreatable bio-weapon or virus that will make its way to the U.S. In the panic, print more money.  Chapter 20 to make gold illegal and nationalize assets.  I personally think there is only one word in the book: RUN.

 In 1966 the central banks had 14 billion in U.S. dollars, the USD was bound to the gold standard so with only 3 billion in gold to cover the foreign holdings, it just wasn’t enough. When Nixon declared to “defend the dollar” he removed the USD from the gold slandered in 1971, and the USD became a debt based policy. He claimed he did this for monetary stability.

In 1973 he had secret meetings with the head of Saudi Arabia, and created a deal called The U.S.-Saudi Arabian Joint Commission for Economic Cooperation (JECOR) this stated that with a few exceptions, Saudi Arabia would sell oil in only U.S. dollars. Then invest the rest they made into the U.S. treasury markets, that way the IMF could give loans to other oil importers. The petrodollar recycling system, Saudi Arabia would only buy/sell oil in us dollars, this was presented as a buffer to the rising oil prices. The U.S. monetary restraints were removed now they could increase money at will, Fractional reserve banking was taking place.

Currency is everything to the powers that be, we see a major pattern within the governments and individuals who control the markets. Like gold, fossil fuels are limited and have been a billion dollar investment for major corporations worth killing for, even starting a war over. The main reason for going to war is challenging the USD, it’s the only thing our government sees as a true threat, we would love to belive its for the good of the nation or we are helping “them”, all the bogus reasons they state. As long as we need fossil fuels, and its sold in USD there will be a demand for the USD, America will do anything to keep it this way.

In a 1994 an interview with Dick Cheney, he is asked what will happen if the US invades Iraq, he actually lists off country by country how they would be affected if we  invaded Iraq. Scary thing is, it is happening in the present day, since we went to war with Iraq, he goes down a list of countries and groups that then would be in power, how the direct events would take place and end with Iran. The same Iran that we accused of making or having a nuclear weapons except they didn’t, even stated that they had no intention of doing so. Since 2004 Iran has been organizing their very own oil market and it wasn’t going to have any ties to the USD.

No surprise the government knew exactly what would unfold, the risk of the nations and lives that would be massacred, the money and military that would be expunged. I have stated before, I feel like these threats of terrorists and disease are extremely convenient, that all of the places these “events” are taking place, are in regions that we want access to, or need to gain control over. You may think to yourself, our government wouldn’t risk so many things for money and power, or oil. Oh but they are,  the Iraq war we campaigned for was primarily a result of Saddam Hussein switching the oil sold in USD to Euros. This of course is information that the American people were left in the dark about, even though this was the biggest geopolitical move of the nation.

Lets put it all together, Dick Chaney was also member of Project for a New American Century, they released a strategy called rebuilding Americas defenses, Strategy Forces and Resources for a new century. A way to expand the U.S. dominance worldwide, with major funding for the military spending. This stated that enforcing this would take years to achieve, “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event similar to a new Perl Harbor”. Then 911 took place one year later. TA-DA, a new Pearl Harbor. We were able to invade and even impose the patriot act, without any resistance. While using terrorists as an excuse, weapons of mass destruction was a way in, a way that the people saw as justification. We know North Korea has weapons of mass destruction, you do not see us invading them.

As soon as we gained control over Iraq, the oil went back into USD.

Keeping up with the Keynesians

October is said to be the most frightening of all months, not just for costumes and Halloween, fear fest, etc. October is frightening most of all for traders, this is the month when the market has crashed in the past, including in 1927, 1987 and 2008. It’s no secret that this time of year is a tricky one (no pun intended), many past reports show even with the decline of S&P and large-cap index companies, it also shows October to be one of the best performing with returns at 10.9%. Personally, I don’t see the month having as much to do with the fear in the market as what is taking place in the geopolitical and global economic realm.

            I feel redundant saying it again, but now that the economic data is out, I can finally stop preaching about how the dollar is weak. The previous reports were wrong, the USD along with our economy is on the brink of collapse. Many people have lost so much faith and respect in the USD, that eventually they will turn to a greater currency. Could Harry Dent be accurate when he invested in Australia the way he has, will that be the better economy to live and invest in? Keynesian economics is dead and gone, now if they could print out deeds, we would at least have some collateral instead of just a mountain of debt. Even then, we would be entrapped in mortgages. There really is no room for growth at this point, we as a nation are tapped out due to the depletion of cheap energy, and an array of greedy puppet masters fueling the people and the market with blatant lies.

QE isn’t going to end just yet, not with the negative interest rates in the Euro and its uncertainty with investors, not to mention the bail-outs. The USD is only the lesser in all the evils, not truly a safe haven for foreign investors, it is just has the illusion it is. The capital we had from the colonial era is gone and we have piggybacked on societies’ that had our “new” technologies and ideas. With the huge entitlement outlays to fund, the U.S. will have to keep borrowing and printing, creating more and more debt.

Maybe I could have been spot on with my prediction that the manipulated rise of the dollar was to bring down the price in gold. It would be interesting to see how much bullion JP Morgan is hoarding along with the other owners of the economy. With the “revised” corrected data out on the housing and economics of the U.S, I am shocked to see just a small change in PM’s I would have thought that gold would be skyrocketing with the information released. 

Did I mention the COMEX manipulation? Let’s touch a little on that, traders are to believe that technical analysis and PMs is totally out. It’s not, just learn from the manipulators, they know what traders will do. It’s like getting into the mind of the puppet masters, Central Banks, the FED, etc. Volatility in the market is high in October with record fluctuations happening even higher. Singapore’s holiday and the Chinese market being closed for a week have affected the slow rise in PMs, however when it opens Wednesday and the new SGE reports come in, my prediction in gold skyrocketing has just begun.

USD a R rated feature

In 1985, the dollar was strong and the economy and equity markets were how they say, “booming” They did this with all the higher interest rates enforced by the FED, then again in 2000. These were the times the dollar compared to right now, yet the USD is still 30% weaker than in “85’ and 20% weaker than in 2000. So how is the USD soaring above all these other currencies? We as investors want to look at the Purchasing Power Parity value or (PPP) that is just what Scott Gannis did when he wrote the article “The Return of King Dollar” he decided to compare five different currencies to the USD, in this form he states… “PPP theory holds that, over time, currencies move vis a vis others in a way that reflects changes in relative prices between countries. Currencies that depreciate against others typically have higher inflation rates, and currencies that appreciate have lower inflation. For each currency, I have picked a base year in which I thought that prices were in rough equilibrium, and then adjusted that value over time for changes in relative inflation rates. The current PPP value of each currency is therefore approximately equal to the exchange rate that would produce roughly equal prices for a given basket of goods and services in each country.” He goes on to show graphs that use a basket of goods (commodities) with each currency and used inflation information for charts from the U.S., the PCE deflator; for Australia, the CPI All Groups Goods Component; for Canada, the CPI; for the Eurozone, the German CPI; for Japan, the CPI Nationwide General; for the UK, the RPI less Mortgage Interest Payments. No shock the USD lost major value against all. So what is really moving the market? CNN put out a “Fear and Greed index” I mean truly they did! I find it amusing that how this can be measured, short fear, long fear? Sure why not. Investors should be terrified right now. Fear, as I have said before plays into why the reality of why the USD is weak, the traders ever looming fear of the market collapse. The true reality that the USD is a reserve currency and will have to handle the EUR’s deflation. The present investment demand from china is low, as well as need for oil. We see that commodities are decreasing all over the market. Leverage is at a all time high. In fact right now the market looks like a horror movie “Soul of Dudley” and just wait the sequel is coming soon, Blockbuster hit “were F@$#ED” Ethics in the U.S. are separated by law apparently.

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.

Don't trim the HEDGE too close America

Could it be real yields, interest rates, and crude oil, have less to do with the gold than is believed. Gold as a hedge with inflation? The gold price chart varies year to year compared to all sorts of inflation data and seems completely random in the patterns. What moves Gold? Gold is much more appealing when the price is high and seems to be a major “time trend” so along with all the coloration's and charts people put above their own personal strategy, are they looking at the bigger picture. Most think gold is the most unproductive asset one could hold. Could it be that gold is just valuable because people “think” it to be? That people just want to value something, anything, might as well be gold. Could it be that it truly is a natural limited resource, that will again up, way past $2000 oz. in late 2015? When paper money and bonds and futures all fall gold is a physical asset that has been used for thousands of years worldwide. Well I will buy into the idea that the dollar will fall, and possibly the U.S. collapses completely, so I guess I am buying into American human nature and the workforce failing, with no faith in the U.S. government at all, call me a cynic if you want. We only own 5% of all the global gold reserves and it baffles me that our monetary policies are the fuel to the worldwide price. When the over saturation of paper gold get's torn to pieces you better hold on to your physical metals and keep bulling on my friends, looking ahead of course.

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.

A "DENT" IN GOLD PERDICTIONS

The founder of Dent research and Harvard grad Harry Dent is a fascinating and amazing individual, many traders have relied on his predictions to aid and sway their own strategies. However, can his predictions of gold being at $700 in 2015 and in 2020 to $250 be real? Maybe, it could all be propaganda to sell his "The Demographic Cliff," book and idealism. He predicts a crash in our economy like no other, and that I can believe more than gold being that low even after the crash in 2008 trying to buy physical gold was close to impossible. If and when the market does collapse again people do turn to physical metal as a great investment as well as by then the anti luxury ban in China and India will be over, and just because gold follows the trend of crude oil, it doesn’t have to. “If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties”-Francis Bacon Holding short at 1309.88 current price 1216.00 a gain of 7.2% Fxmade2trade

Don't turn down the volume! REVERSE IT

How the Scottish impacted the world… besides war hero’s, architects and engineers, amazing poets and well as we know Shakespeare made Macbeth a infamous king. They invented the television and the telephone. The nation’s finances had been so bad in 1694 Scotland co founded the Bank of England. They even invented the first waterproof fabric, and rubber wheel. Now they have helped make the USD strong as people still afraid to invest in the EUR, GBP, even the JPY is at a low, with the vote a big No people may start having faith in those currencies again. The USD is also staying strong because of other volume factors. What I mean by this is that when the US stock market is up and the USD is strong people want to invest and traders feel safe for another day or week sometimes even minutes of safety are everything to a traders calls. But is the US stock market up? To most newbie’s they would say yes. This is when volume comes into play, the S&P is up but that has only 500 stocks, the DOW 30 and NASDAQ 100 so when you think of all the US stocks and see all of them in green then you look at the nations debt, and other attributing negative factors. Make sure your looking at stocks that are like RUSSELL 2000 not just the few that volume moves.Watch out for those reverse signals with the USD,Gold may be on the rise but for now still holding short at 1309.88 current price 1216.00 a gain of 7.1% Fxmade2trade

Vote for the fall of Gold

Fx and metal traders seem to be waiting for the Scottish vote even more so than the Federal Open Market Committee meeting. Many people are skeptical of the vote having any impact on gold at all, but I foresee a whole other change coming. We did see a little rise but not by much. If the fear of the ERO and GBP fuels the USD in the market, the USD could get stronger and we could see a huge drop in gold this week with today’s vote.

China "BEARS" All

Since late 2012 to gain the confidence, popularity and trust of the people the powerful communist Chinese government decides to issue anti-graft and anti-extravagance measures. This created such a massive change for how and what is being produced and imported that a systematic chain reaction in other markets such as property, Gifts, travel and now all automobiles purchased by government must be domestic branded vehicles so the stream of Bentley, BMW and Mercedes are no longer allowed as government vehicles. Even liquor and spending on events are limited Xinhua News Agency reported that all levels of government will be barred from using government funds to organize extravagant galas staged with expensive celebrities and performances. Officials will punish organizers of “expensive or wasteful celebratory events.” Ah yes and now we have seen first hand gold declining and this ban is campaigned to lead in to 2017. according to a report by Bain & Co., China’s growth in luxury spending dropped from 7 percent in 2012 to just 2 percent in 2013, the slowest pace since 2000. The Hurun Report, a publication that chronicles the wealthy in China, said in its 2014 Luxury Consumers Survey that compared to 2013, 25 percent fewer respondents plan to give a “very expensive gift” (worth $826 or more) at Chinese New Year. Additionally, since Xi’s austerity campaign, China’s high-end hotels have experienced considerable drops in their occupancy rates. Before the campaign, government bookings accounted for more than 40 percent of sales for business hotels. Now, business has fallen by more than 50 percent. Now we cannot forget many things attributed to these statistics, and money is still being spent, the Chinese are still spending and spending a lot. The money is for now outside of china and with more focus on strengthening the middle class in China this just means investors need to look at what moves the middle class and focus on that. Just so I am being clear I can’t foresee the middle class buying up large chunky gold watches, and Cartier jewelry in the near future. India will once again be the main consumer of gold and with the Diwali festival in October, physical gold is being smuggled in at an alarming rate, as well as the fear of the Scottish independence fueling fear, explains the buying spree of physical gold coins in the U.K. Once again and don’t let the statistics run your trading, much of the information is altered and the Reserve Banks withhold information and Central Banks foresee intention of consumers, and traders. In fact the Chinese have been trying to gain the upper hand in the pricing gold, and away from London for some time and it seems their efforts may pay off. For now, gold is bearish and I am holding short at 1309.88 current price 1223.00 gain of 6.6% Fxmade2trade
