When the US Treasury market moves lower and rates rise, it tends to support the Dollar. I for one do not believe the US is in any shape to handle rising interest rates but the market looks at the alternatives and the Dollar gets voted on by a sort of default. In other words, all the apples are rotten but the Dollar is the least rotten apple for the moment. Sentiment can change rapidly but for now, that seems to be the case.<br /><br />Asia can put a floor in the gold price but it can never run it higher. That is not the way the physical market operates. It works on the idea that low prices are good for physical offtake. As the price works higher, the physical demand tends to wane as buyers wait for prices to move lower again. In other words, they tend to buy low. Only in the West do higher prices stimulate more buying among the investment class. they buy higher and buy higher yet! Backwards but it is the way that our markets operate anymore since it is all about computerized buying or selling which is all about momentum.Trader Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484363461047659198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-29710927954283882562013-11-01T10:42:45.116-07:002013-11-01T10:42:45.116-07:00John;

So far it has bounced and that is holding but the weakness in the gold shares is a concern. If they do not bounce as well, it is not a good sign. the day is yet young however.Trader Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05484363461047659198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-26723803664042624532013-11-01T09:16:23.507-07:002013-11-01T09:16:23.507-07:00Just passing along another URGENT message about a ...Just passing along another URGENT message about a silver shortage from GoldSilver.com:<br /><br />http://createsend.com/t/r-7D8E802D076289882540EF23F30FEDED<br /><br />Good time to load up.

E.T. <br /><br />Looks like the GOLD and SILVER charts are poised like an OLYMPIC DIVER ready to launch of the platform and go STRAIGHT DOWN. <br /><br />$1312 and $21.79 as I'm typing here. Couple that the the US DOLLAR INDEX now moving forward above 80 at 80.60 according to FINVIZ. I'm not sure what month contract that one is because the numbers vary from various sources. Can someone tell me why the numbers on FINVIZ are different from say that of NET DANIA and so forth? <br /><br />Looks like the trend is your friend (or your enemy) depending how you slice it. If you choose to stay with the trend then BUY STOCKS, BUY THE DIPS, and if you have a reason to trade GOLD and SILVER then keep on shorting along with JPM. <br /><br />Gold by the way looks like the $1,200's are in for an obvious visit. And I'm actually expecting a US DOLLAR RALLY in here and much lower for the METALS COMPLEX. <br /><br />In the meantime It's time to watch the NYSE and NASDAQ CASINO for more adventures as they have some serious volume compared to how thinly traded GOLD and SILVER has become. <br /><br />One CAVEAT about ordering PHYSICAL GOLD or SILVER. Had a friend order recently that reminded me that the DEALERS upon your order entry put in a SHORT FUTURES CONTRACT immediately to sort of hedge your order. So I think there's a devil in the details here that when people order their PHYSICAL GOLD the market is met with SHORT POSITIONS. <br /><br />Someone should investigate this and correct me if I'm wrong but perhaps this community of "KEEP STACKIN'" is causing the market to be shorted even more? Wouldn't that be something? The more they buy the more it's knocked down. Hmmmm.....?<br /><br />Admittedly I don't know the market very well on the inside but I'm open to any suggestions and explanation as to how this all works. <br /><br />GLTA and keep stackin' cash.<br /><br />The News UNIT<br />www.thenewsunit.comThe News UNIThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02597408419488351139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1708908742323002823.post-29685857533547662322013-11-01T04:46:59.796-07:002013-11-01T04:46:59.796-07:00Hubert...oh well.

I almost excited my short at $1358 (bought at $1270) with the aim of buying in again (short) at $1400. Then yesterday at $1330 I was thinking about adding to my short but thought I'd wait for a bounce to $1340. Now ($1315) I'm scared of adding to my short! Waiting for $1330 or $1245 before I add another short.
