NFTRH48 came out yesterday and after providing yet more perspective on my particular stance (NFTRH's big trade for 2009 was essentially in the books in May) makes a strong case for why you should subscribe, as follows:"This is war against a world full of players, some of whom are actually smart. But also, some are impatient, living within their egos, are trying to force things or worse, are promoting agendas. I am content to let the markets come to me and tell me the answers to the many questions posed above in today’s report.
I should put this teaser promo on the blog this week: ‘Come sign up for Notes From the Rabbit Hole so that I can illustrate for you the drying paint of a months-long holding pattern. If you think that would be a tough read, try writing about it every week.’
But I have a very strong feeling that I must not try to force anything right now. Things will become clearer before too long. It’s that old ‘patience’ thing again."
Oh yes, there is much analysis of stock markets, sentiment, commodities, precious metals and the situation in USD/US Treasuries as well. Finally, some sensible discussion of gold and general portfolio composition/structure.
Have a great remainder of your weekend.
PS: I have often given a rough ride to the gold bug 'generals'; one of whom, Jim Sinclair, in my opinion tends to talk too strongly in emotional tones that can get unsophisticated investors too firmly entrenched in battle mode against some very powerful crooks. I receive Mr. Sinclair's emails still, both for contrary indicators and education. Today I find something in my inbox that I personally found very educational. Sinclair provides a link to this historically educational document 'Will Gold Reach 5000+?' by Martin Armstrong.
Edit (8/31 @ 9:05) A guy who years ago was highly influential in my education about the gold sector used to call Sinclair 'Foghorn Leghorn', or in the words of Henery Hawk a 'loud-mouthed schnook'. As in 'Foghorn Leghorn is crowing again, time to take cover'. Thus illustrates the main reason I am on his email list. A stellar contrary indicator. Mish checks in with his not so polite view this morning: Countdown to Dollar Implosion Madness
From day one I have wanted this blog to be a place free of hype. Way more people want to have their perceptions reinforced than challenged. Hype is pervasive, and the gold sector is one of its most active breeding grounds.
