Because we learn from the past, from mistakes and successes alike, I gained something from the old 2008 post about the miners and stock market.  Here is another, from March 7, 2009 as the final plunge in the US financial sectors blew out and the final seeds were sewn for the current bull market, by the intense and acute panic of the time.

So you’ll excuse me if some of the writing is a little dramatic or hyperbole tinged.  It was a different time in March, 2009.  I also note that I tend not to just write (stream of consciousness thoughts) as much anymore.  With reports usually between 30 and 40 pages (incl. ample graphics) I don’t even get to all the hard data each week. We are now in a time where it has paid to be subservient to the markets and do what they say.

True beliefs and orientations can be expressed when the time is right. But back in early 2009 we were easily making money by following the new trends that the majority had not yet glommed on to.  So there was ample time to brain dump a lot of thoughts along the way.

I barely ever look at these old NFTRH, but want to do so more often now because I think we are within hailing distance of new financial market trends and perspective is in my opinion an underutilized tool in the financial markets.
