Gold: Swiftly Precious in 2006

The average of commodity bull markets is 16-17 years. Since the current one began in say 2000, we have possibly ten more years of bullish gold and other commodities moving through an inflationary and volatile period of time.

Floating with the Moon

High tide associated with full moon cycle is not the best time for bottom fishing. Any high tide that is forcefully sucked up by full moon effect will phase out slowly afterward. (note: fibonacci timeline also indicated that we are entering a new trading time cycle) I think that explained why we visited the wild jungle of 930 two times (not once). Mum, it is all because of the seduction of the romantic moonlight effect and my boat just floated up with it.

Carry-Trade Craze

During the past decade, the yen-carry trade has become a staple for many punters. A popular form of the strategy exploits the gap between U.S. and Japanese yields. Anyone borrowing for next to nothing in yen and parking the funds in U.S. Treasuries received a twofold payoff: the 3-plus percentage-point yield difference and the dollar's rise versus the yen. The latter dynamic boosts profits by the time they're converted back to yen. Read more ...

The dollar plunged and U.S. inflation and interest rates spiked higher. Read more ...

You’ll be surprised, but our research also strongly suggests that throughout history, there’s been a definite correlation between disease epidemics and bear markets. When we look at epidemics such as the ones that occurred during and after the fall of Rome; the Black Death (Bubonic and Pneumonic Plagues) of 1350-1400; famine and cholera pandemics in Britain in 1825-1849; the influenza epidemic of 1917, etc. – “there always appears to be a bear market in force, and the extent of the epidemics tends to correlate with the size of the setback in [social] mood,” says Prechter.
