US shutdown brings risk aversion back

penny wise pound foolish....losing US 0.4 Billion a day to save 200 million dollars a year?

What is the different between Republican tea party activists and the terrorists who blow themselves up? Ideology kills; I see no different; each group is fighting for ideological supremacy which they will never be attained! It took Mother Earth 75% of her existence to produce Homo sapiens; if Mother Earth is locked into ideological template, mankind may not be here; dynamism is the key, what is good yesterday is not necessarily okay today; we must all learn to learn to live with present day reality; poor souls are hurting and any serious sickness in USA without money is death sentence; who knows the poor child languishing on the sick bed because the family could not afford the treatment could be the one who could invent something that would save mankind from itself? Every child should be entitled to primary health care whether poor or rich; is it the hard thing to do?

you wish...you trade paper gold which is still in bearish mode.

New scenario there?

Currency and commodity markets are extremely dynamic (as in volatile) for good reason - strong wants by participants driven by a multiplicity of ever changing perspectives. This means a myriad of factors are in constant and interdependent play - therefore making any attempt at analysis redundant. The idea that anyone can glean markets from what analysts think or say or from silly articles (after the fact) such as this is indeed stupid. Fundamental analysis - is silly in currency and commodities trading and again for the simple reason that all analysis is partial with respect to any postulated outcome gleaned from current events. Therefore, only the fractal analysis of markets based on notions of chaos math (Non linear system based analysis) begins to inform the astute trader. And you can take that to the bank. what a laugh at the persistence of ignorance even in the face of repeated failure.

Bearish mode in what range? Price moves up and down whether going up or down so it depends on timing cyclic phases. Really simple. For instance (and using fractal geometry to evaluate this) in the range 1316.60 - 1376.48 Gold is phased up. Therefore in the medium term that is the market (by my reading and with a 95% confidence mark around this estimate of direction). So really it depends and there are no prisoners taken in this business. It is a market in which we exchange values - what we value less for what we value more over a range of price points - the overall direction for a range being defined by the dominant sign involved. Really basic I would argue.

BTW: The higher value would be a TP and the lower value a SL in that range and the phasing information is current as in ongoing.

PS: Sorry forgot to add my usual sign off - Nice One!

Saving make a person more confident for their future life, and same is followed by U.S. members in house.

Buy gold! This is indeed a bullish factor for safe-haven metal.

Risk Aversion?
