Gold Surprise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Bob_Loukas
The surprises are going to the upside for gold, and that is obviously a change in behavior. The miners are roaring higher and are outside of their Bollinger Bands for multiple days, a sure sign of strength. Up until very recently, the Investor Cycle had showed us relatively little to get excited about. But suddenly, eleven weeks into the Cycle and right where you would have expected it to turn lower, gold has found yet another gear.

GBPAUD: More Gains Are In Sight / Currencies / British Pound
By: Gregor_Horvat
We have seen deep three wave decline in on GBPAUD from August highs that can be now coming to an end after recent nice turn up from 2.0785 area. Notice that there was a triangle in wave (B) so recent leg down must be wave (C) final wave within a corrective move. That said, our view is bullish now, so be aware of more gains ahead, especially after 2.1305 is broken. We are tracking this one for longs.

U.S. Dollar, Currency Markets Trend Forecasts Update / Currencies / Forex Trading
By: David_Petch
I thought I would do a deeper dive to revisit the currencies and US Dollar again, because there are a lot of comments out in cyberspace and the general media about how things are not that bad. The US stock market is having a massive short-covering rally, which is merely a mechanical knee-jerk reaction to an oversold condition. As I mentioned last week, there is still going to be another 2-3 weeks of upside in the "other currencies" and commodities, but when a top is put in place, one will want to make sure they are sitting on a chair, because it will get ugly.

We started this series “shallow and wide” on the subject of what's really determining the silver price…
What are the factors, the most influential factors right now? Last week we covered high-frequency trading and algorithm trading in association with the future's market. This week we're going to kind of go on a second factor, which is silver prices and technical analysis.

Ignore The Media Bullsh*t – Retail Implosion Proves We Are In Recession / Economics / Recession 2015
By: James_Quinn
Here we go again. The dying legacy media will continue to support the status quo, who provide their dwindling advertising revenue, by papering over the truth with platitudes, lies, and misinformation. I have been detailing the long slow death of retail in America for the last few years. The data and facts are unequivocal. Therefore, the establishment and their media mouthpieces need to suppress the truth.

Gold Price Flashes Buy Signal on Technical Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jason_Hamlin
Gold is rocketing higher during the first two weeks of October, up roughly $75 to $1,185 today. This is a gain of 6.7% in just two weeks as investors are increasingly betting that the gold price has bottomed.
The price advance is being driven partially by comments from Federal Reserve board members suggesting that a rate hike is not a sure thing in 2015, as most analysts had once expected. This news has helped to push the dollar lower and precious metals higher over the past few weeks.

This Unique Oil Stock is Offering A Huge Dividend Yield / Companies / Oil Companies
By: Casey_Research
By Justin Spittler
One of Casey Research's biggest calls this year is paying off…
In early August, E.B. Tucker, editor of The Casey Report, told subscribers how to profit from the world’s oversupply of oil.
If you read financial newspapers for more than a week, you’ll notice that global oil production is near record highs. Last year, global oil output reached its highest level in at least twenty-five years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

How Can Bank of America Drive Better Efficiency? / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Bloomberg
Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, spoke with Bloomberg TV’s Erik Schatzker about the bank's earnings and performance.
Moynihan said that the efficiency ratio should be 500 BPS lower and the company has a plan to get it there. When asked about how he will do it, Moynihan said: "The headcount will come down because there were 60 percent people costs. There's not enough other costs to save a lot of money, but question is how you do that."

For Corporations And Hedge Funds, The Next Recession Is Already Here / Companies / Recession 2015
By: John_Rubino
Wal-Mart just announced flat year-over-year sales, causing its shares to fall by 9% and wiping $20 billion from its market cap. Which would be unremarkable if the disappointment was an aberration. But it’s not. Earnings season is off to a brutal start, with big names announcing big misses all over the place. Meanwhile, the rare good numbers are mostly the result of blatant (and therefore ineffective) financial engineering. Some examples:

Forget the Yield Curve- Banks Stocks Are a Bargain / Companies / Banking Stocks
By: Sol_Palha
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds. - Francis Bacon
The press is giving too much credence to the effect an interest rate hike would have on the markets and on the financial sector. First of all, the fact that the Fed has been debating whether or not to raise rates by a paltry meaningless 0.25 basis points speaks volumes. The Fed clearly understands that this recovery is nothing but smoke and mirrors; the main driving force behind being hot money.

Gold Price Forecast to End 2016 at $1,400 an ounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
Gold prices are headed for a critical test according to The Week today. The Federal Reserve’s ‘wait and see’ stance suggests policymakers there are in no rush to increase rates this year. “Sentiment over interest rates has been controlling gold prices all year,” says The Week “as traders prepare for a rise that will lessen the attraction of non-yielding commodities and boost the dollar”.

Startup Expenses Business Owners Usually Overlook / Companies / SME
By: Boris_Dzhingarov
Opening a startup is a dream for many. While it is so complicated to make that first step, it is even tougher to move forward and actually manage to get all the cash that you need in order to succeed on the long run. We have to understand the fact that many hurdles appear for the business manager that opens a startup. Unexpected expenses can always appear and the most common ones mentioned below are normally forgotten by aspiring entrepreneurs.

Gold Stocks – Why Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

I have become more and more positive towards Gold STOCKS since the summer.

As I wrote 3 days ago, Gold miners have been punished really hard. Maybe a bit too hard.
Therefore I went on a gold mining shopping spree today when the markets opened.

Examples from Whole Foods Market (WFM) and Reynolds American, Inc (RAI) show you what to do (or not) to trade successfully with Elliott.
After 20 years of experience applying Elliott wave analysis in real markets, our Senior Analyst Jeffrey Kennedy says that it remains the only tool that will tell him -- down to the tick, to the pip, even to the penny – when his forecast is no longer viable.

Stock Market Aggressive Sell Signals in Place / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX has finally reversed beneath its trendline. This morning was a false break, due to a small Megaphone formation that resulted in a new high. It is now on an aggressive sell signal.
I re-calibrated the Primary Cycle Pivot dates and, although there was a PC Pivot on 10-6, the turn was made today, 4.3 market days later. In fact, the Cycle Top happened on a PI Hour (67.5, which is divisible by 3.1416 and 4.3). This would be expected from a rally that has a Megaphone ending and a Wave (B). Wave B of any degree may be a rogue wave in outliving its expectations. Investors are still bullish, despite only exceeding Wave (A) by only 1.52 points. In Elliott Wave parlance, this is a flat correction, due to the flat top.

China To Continue Expanding Its Influence In The Oil And Gas Sector / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: OilPrice_Com
Since 2009, China has been taking a much more active role in its pursuit of international oil contracts. In 2009, for the first time, Saudi Arabia exported more of its oil to China than it did to the U.S. China also made large investments in Saudi Arabia's oil refining industry as well. But China's oil investments didn't stop there; they also pursued oil producing Canadian assets in 2011-12.Read full article... Read full article...

Climate Change, Renewable Resources and Economics / Politics / Climate Change
By: Frank_Hollenbeck
Many socialists have conveniently repackaged themselves as environmentalists and latched onto climate change as a convenient means to preach the standard socialist agenda of planning and control.
These socialists will talk about glaciers retreating and the need to force farmers in Normandy, for example, to stop running their tractors on Tuesday. Anyone who questions the basic precepts of climate change are instantly viewed as ignoramuses who deny the overwhelming scientific evidence that climate change exists.
