    Given a 2.39% drop in the US dollar index, you’d expect more out of silver and GOLD PRICES, but the weak response probably represents that same lack of interest we’ve witnessed through most of November. But even that quibble fades when I look at the gold price chart and see the first half of a key reversal, namely, a break to a new intraday (1,045.40) with a close higher than yesterday’s. Tomorrow the gold price must paint the second half, a close higher than today’s. Really, for better certainty we want to see that higher close for two days, not just one. Piling on top of that, the MACD has turned up, the RSI is climbing up out of “slap oversold,” the rate of change is positive, and full stochastics are curving skyward. Volume jumped today, too, and don’t forget Commitments of Traders at a 14 year bullish extreme.

    What else do y’all want, a fairy godmother with a twinklin’ wand?


    All this implies but does not yet prove that we have seen AND PASSED the lows for the post-2011 bear phase in metals. Probably won’t run away before year end, but next year promises to be golden with a silver lining.

    But mercy, what do I know? I ain’t been wearin’ shoes but two years, and they’s hand-me-downs. I ain’t nothing but a nat’ral born durn fool from Tennessee, not even bright enough to pile into the same trade as everybody else. But then, I wadn’t long dollars, either.


    Markets were expecting the European Criminal Bank to lower interest rates deeper into negative territory AND to increase the free money to speculators through Quantitative Easing. Head mafiosi Mario Draghi didn’t deliver. They lowered rates 0.1% to negative 0.3% and left the QE program at 60 billion euros a month.

    Today’s dollar index chart measures how much hot money was in the dollar, how many crowd-following smarties were in the same exact trade (short euros, long dollars), and what happens when everybody on one side of the rowboat suddenly jumps to the other side: it sank like an anvil pushed out of a 747 Jumbo Jet. Dollar index lost an enormous 239 basis points (2.39%) to end the day at 97.63. Friends, it broke down out of that rising wedge like roaches running from Raid. Y’all have to look at this chart, slicing through the wedge’s bottom boundary, through the 20 day moving average, and skidding to a stop at the low just above the 50 DMA. Oooooo. That’s what you call “technical damage.” http://schrts.co/OkJ5UT

    Meanwhile, all those investment genii and gurus who jes’ KNEW the ECB malefactors would keep the party going and keep gutting the euro, found themselves SHORT a skyrocketing euro. Nothing concentrates the mind like your own imminent hanging or a short in a runaway rally, so they panicked. Euro shot up 3.05% to $1.0938. Here’s a picture of zillions of dollars in losses, http://schrts.co/ggGV9Z




    I used to know a long-time stockbroker of solemn and tested wisdom– an old dog. For decades he did all his investing based on whether the money supply was rising or falling. Why? Because new inflationary money always goes into financial markets first. Likewise, when the Fed tightens money supply (yes, they used to do such things in ancient times), money comes out of financial markets, particularly stocks. This is why I have kept pounding and pounding on y’all’s heads that the stock market rise since 2009 has been built on newly created money, AND NOT ECONOMIC OUTLOOK.


    A share of stock is only another form of a bond, an principal investment expected to pay a stream of “interest payments” as dividends. So like bonds, stocks are “discounted” by the prevailing interest rate to determine their present value. It follows then — stay with me, don’t lag behind — it follows then that WHEN INTEREST RATES RISE, STOCK VALUES FALL. The Fed raising interest rates has never helped the stock market, and never will. Mathematics says, Absolutely not.


    Dow lost a massive 252.01 (1.42%) to 17,477.67. S&P500 dove 29.89 (1.44%) to 2,049.62. Today’s submersion took both indices solidly below their 200 DMAs (17,582 and 2,065). Also establishes an embryonic downtrend with lower highs and a lower low.

    Today’s mayhem was just what the Dow in Gold and Dow in Silver have been promising, a big reversal dirtward. DiG lost 2.2% to 16.47 oz while the DiS dropped 2.12% to 1,242.19 oz. Both indices got close enough to count the eyelashes on the 20 DMA, but didn’t quite drop through. MACD and other indicators have positively turned down.
