We have reviewed TIP and TLT nominally by weekly charts as they were a previous NFTRH+ double highlight on Treasury bond funds, inflation protected (TIP) and nominal (TLT). Each continues to have a bullish slant by the weeklies.
With the monetary metal popping by a couple hundred bucks an ounce in 2016 people are coming out of the woodwork to advise us about its vast upside and on the other side of the spectrum, its dangers. I have done a lot of bitching and moaning about gold’s promoters and bashers alike, because they seem to use similar sets of incorrect assumptions from which to extend their theses. Let’s focus on one of the negative articles; in this case a negative piece on gold mining.
I think I am going to do this on a semi regular basis going forward, with both bullish and bearish articles that I think are not giving people a straight scoop (as I see it, anyway). For some reason gold stirs emotions far beyond the average asset. There is ideology, religion, politics and flat out misunderstanding in the worst of gold analysis. Gold mining can be even more misunderstood due to the sector’s unique counter-cyclical dynamics.
