The Significance of October

[HTML] (#104: November, 2011)
by Phil Erlanger
October’s stock market was great, but it fell short of turning around the big picture bias. Is October’s action a bellwether for the market into 2012? ~more~

The Week Ahead

[HTML] (#487: December 26, 2011)
by Phil Erlanger
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ 100 and S&P 100 moved higher for the week. The Big Picture bias, i.e. monthly, remains negative for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 100. The 14-day choppiness index for the NASDAQ 100 moved from 55 to 58, while the S&P 100 moved from 50 to 57. The Dow Jones Industrial Average 14-day choppiness index moved from 49 to 58. The Choppiness index ranges from 0 to 100, and the lower it goes the more a trend is evolving. The higher the choppiness index moves, the more a new trend may be starting. Usually, above 65 is where new trends begin and below 40 is where trends typically end. ~more~

Dear Client: Despite the current logjam in negotiations... Payroll tax relief will be continued for 2012. We think a 2% rate cut is likely to emerge. For 2011, the employee’s share of Social Security tax was lowered by two percentage points. In exchange for that payroll tax rate reduction, President Obama agreed to extend the Bush tax cuts through 2012. ~more~

SCHMIDT'S GOLD THOUGHTS (9 March 2010):

[PDF] (#029: March 9, 2010)
by Ned Schmidt
The Greeks are learning the tough consequences of worshiping a false god. For years they sought the blessing of Keynesianism, only now to find it comes with a price. Keynes introduced the notion of government debt as salvation, the road to prosperity. Issue debt, and you will prosper. With those words, citizens of many nations turned their minds and ears off to reason. How could so many come to believe that borrowing money was the secret to prosperity? ~more~

WhisperNumber.com's Whisper Outlier Report: Jan. 27th, 2012

[HTML] (#112: January 27, 2012)
by John Scherr
In our last report commentary we stated that "the current reading indicates a potential for limited market weakness". After that report was released the Dow was at 12,423. The market closed today 286 points higher at 12,709 breaking out of the recent 12,360 and 12,472 trading range. Following the last report the market saw slow and steady strength to current levels (against expectations). Since the last survey the investor confidence reading moved a very strong 19.6% higher from 43.8% to 63.4%. The move brings our primary market reading to a new 52 week high and overbought market reading. The current reading indicates a potential for strong market weakness. ~more~

Forecasts, Predictions and Outlook for 2012... Let's Try This Recommendation Again, It's a Gem

[PDF] (January, 2012)
The forecasts, estimates below are a consolidation from 2012 outlooks from Barron’s, WSJ, Fortune CNBC, Wells Fargo, and our analysis of economic, business, and investment trends. Most forecasts for the economy were more optimistic than my personal view, so I will emphasize the optimistic view. My outlook for the markets is not too much different than most forecasters, cautiously bullish. ~more~

Drunken Sailors

[PDF] (#013: August 22, 2011)
by Michael E. Lewitt
Over the past ten days, the financial markets have acted like drunken sailors, although that might be an insult to drunken sailors. In part this is due to the fact that their leaders have long been spending money in a manner that puts drunken sailors to shame. There is certainly reason for global investors to be fleeing risk in view of the conduct of monetary and fiscal policy over the past few years. It is now apparent that markets understand that there is virtually no way that Europe and the United States will be able to pay for the unlimited public commitments they have made over the past 40 years. ~more~

Market Report

Strong Breadth Is Great, But...

[PDF] (#403: January 25, 2012)
by Tom McClellan
The major averages have not yet made it back to new highs, but the A-D Line is already there. In fact, the NYSE’s daily A-D Line is at a new all time high (all time meaning since 1926, when such data was first tabulated). Generally speaking, having a strong A-D Line is a sign that liquidity is plentiful, and thus that the market is somewhat immunized from the threat of a big drawdown. Or at least that is how things used to work. In an era when the Fed is an 800 pound gorilla sloshing around in the liquidity pool, things are acting differently. ~more~

The profits are already rolling in!

[PDF] (#107: January 31, 2012)
by Gold and Energy Advisor
Just one month into the new year—and more importantly, one month into the new GEA portfolio—we’ve already taken in $1,384 in cash flow (including $378 in locked-in option profits). I’m frequently asked how we get such market-beating returns, year after year. (Since inception in 2004, GEA’s cumulative returns are an impressive 233.1 percent— an average of 29.1 percent per year.) As we ramp up our new portfolio— which I expect to be very lucrative—this is a great time to discuss how we do it, and how you can get the most out of your investing as well! ~more~

RARE COINS: CRISIS PROTECTION FOR YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

[PDF] (#002: January 12, 2011)
by Todd Griffiths
Rare coins’ ability to appreciate no matter what gold bullion is doing translates into better overall investment performance for rare coins as compared to gold. This has been established in authoritative, empirical studies: Dr. Raymond Lombra, Professor of Economics at Penn State, has conducted a series of important studies comparing the long-term performance of rare coins to other investments. His latest study covered a 20-year period ending in 2008. (Please log in to read further...) ~more~
