Buy When There is Blood in the Streets!

If we continue to follow the earlier decade's road map we should see a feeble recovery in 2009 followed by another collapse in 2010. Another feeble rise could get underway in 2011 and then we plunge to our final lows in 2012. The scary alternative is that a feeble recovery into 2009 is followed by a further collapse to new lows and while we follow the road map the final lows of 2012 are made some 40 to 50 per cent below today's lows. We certainly hope not but it is possible if things do not go well in attempting to restructure the world. But right now the scenario still calls for a rebound into 2009.

A November Low Forming?

The US Dollar acting like 1991The US Dollar has rallied sharply much like it did in 1991 and there were banking and real estate problems back then too during the Savings and Loan crisis but that rally failed and the USD made new lows the following year, and I expect a similar outcome once the Dollar turns down soon.

Will Fortune Favour The Brave In This Climate?

Mr George: Gold is at US$730 per ounce today. My expectation is that the price will be three times higher - that is, between US$2,000 and US$2,500 per ounce - in 2010 to 2012. The reason is simply that the amount of paper money created in order to stave off the crisis and reflate the banking system will take about 18 months to feed through into inflation, and that the value of the US$ will again fall sharply as a result. In addition, low or even zero interest rates will favour gold and other commodities. I also expect oil to rebound from the current low levels to at least US$200 within 2-3 years.

10 Bullish Charts, Signals, Indicators

Earlier this week, we discussed several anecdotal pieces of evidence that suggested we were closer to the bottom then the top.Today, we look at specific data and charts that can provide some insight as to how extreme these present levels are. All these suggest to us that we are increasingly close to a bottom that can be purchased for an upside trade of 20-30% from these levels.NOTE: We scale in over time, in 10% increments, and recognize that the bottoming process can take several months to several quarters to complete. Hence, slowly buying in is the key.
