Hi Jimbaloo

I see you there. Thanks for those correlation charts. Do you have one of the dollar index and the crb index?

Guys

Durable goods fundys are out and my $ strength idea is being attacked big time. Breaking through the levels I mentioned on the chart means I am on the wrong side of the flow of the markets

I get lucky every once in a while :-)

When the fundamentals are so strong in one direction, better make the counter trades quick.

Nat. Gas:

Another one where I'll only be looking to go long. No shortage of product but the fundamentals are finally better balanced on the supply/demand front. It's been a while.

Silver:

My crazy counter-opinion & counter-technical trade.
This has been acting pretty poorly for quite some time but I'll make a wild bet that we could see 35 before the end of 2014.
If/when it breaks to the upside, it could be very explosive.
Ask me in a year how it went :-)

Well, I don't own any small countries so better use another method :-)
I entered the first time it came to this area (19.50) because of the shelf way to the left. Took profit @ "Trouble Area".
I'm currently holding 2 option positions. I'm waiting to add depending upon how it acts.

I'm with you here. It should be $60+ now given the historical average gold/silver ratio.
Best play imo is no leverage and no stop loss i.e. physical ownership.

I agree MPB. I believe holding physical will trump paper i.e ETFs, futures etc in the long run. Fundamentally debt is balooning but all we hear is things are fine. At some point wealth will be defined as 'show me your physical holdings'. Then Gold and silver will come into their own. That's me thinking aloud.

BTW MPB well done on your thread. I follow it closely

Take a look a GBPCAD and GBPJPY. I am longing any dips at this time. good luck!

P.S. I know I did didn't disclose the entries because it really doesn't mater. Getting in and going in the right direction is what maters but just for reference sake (and I don't normally speak these things) but I'm up over 25% account this week alone. It can be done... just don't stop trying. One day I'll open a thread but now is not the time for it for me.

TraderJoe. Well done on the trade. I will keep an eye on GBPCAD and GJ. I dont normally. The reasons I was looking for entry areas was I like to check out the technical structures that would have made you take the trade. I too on this thread do not talk specifics although it can be gleaned from my posts. I generally enter on a trendline break or something structural like that so readers will have a rough idea.
Well done. When you do have your own thread I will be subscriber number 1

This idea almost died but it is still alive and kicking. I am looking for 6300 for now but it could morph into something bigger imho
