Smooth Sailing

Today was perfect. Everything I’m dabbling in was on the up and up, except for the Swiss Franc FXF. SLV and IAU continue to make new highs, and I started a position in DGP. Even the double inverse funds made new short-term highs. DBA rebounded above 42, even though UDN failed to close higher after…


Blamo!

The market shat on the bulls Friday, which made tons of cheddar in SRS, SKF, TWM, DXD. UDN, FXF and FXY are trading at all time highs, and continue to show strength as the markets weaken. Commodities were mixed as DBA moved lower w/ USO, and the precious metals IAU and SLV remain unchanged. GDX,…

I’ve sold all my…


Interfestering

It has hardly been a few days since I posted my bullish thoughts on GLD, but what a difference a few days can make… With such a sharp run up in GLD, things looked good this morning as it continued to make new highs… but there was a sharp sell off today, but more importantly,…
