This post is a test post and while I'm at it I'll throw up a chart of the Cubes to show a resistance area.  As we noted in NFTRH, the…

NFTRH 314 Out Now

NFTRH 314 was mailed to subscribers earlier today.  It was another quality report.  I define quality in this context as something that helps me keep perspective on complex systems that…

Even the MSM Sees the Inequality by Policy

After one of my cynical posts finger pointing at a Fed talking head (in this case Janet Yellen) and answering her absolutely flawed rationalizations for the masses line by line,…

GLD climbed above the June low but is still considered at resistance below the SMA 50.  Also note GLD remains in a down trend (series of lower highs and lower lows) which would not be broken until a rise above the July high around 129.

Here is some feedback a republished post of mine (Market Summary; Saturday Morning Cartoons) got at a leading gold website from a reader. "The other support has been the very…

NFTRH Interim Updates

NFTRH; SPY, QQQ & IWM

This is probably of more concern to traders, so it could be considered an NFTRH+ update as well for people who want to plot levels to take a shot shorting.  But for everyone’s reference I want to put up another view of the upside retrace potentials using Fibonacci retracement levels, now that the bounce is confirmed to be in progress and we can gauge an actual low to measure from.

Yellen Greatly Concerned About Inequality

So am I and so are most decent people.  So bravo Janet, you are a decent person.  You are greatly concerned about inequality in this richest nation on earth.

Yellen says she’s ‘greatly’ concerned by rising inequality

NFTRH+; L/T Treasury Yield Setup

In a volatile environment perhaps a good way for many people to go (other than the #1 option, cash) is trading the indicators and indexes, a opposed to individual stocks.  In that regard, I think that long-term T bonds are getting over done on the upside (R.I.P. ‘Great Rotation’).

NFTRH; A Casual Conversation

Usually interim updates are all business, talking about changes in indicators or technical analysis or parameters.  Well, this market is getting beyond the black and white and bears some discussion, from one market participant to another.  So pretending that you casually asked me ‘hey pal, what do you think about the markets?’…

GLD has bounced a good way toward the key resistance noted previously, which is the June low.  This level is a very key decision point, because gold remains bearish below that level.
