Dec 30, 2005 -- I am still of the mind that the gold sector has to reload technically before really taking off.

Dec 24, 2005 -- If you are reading this, and doing other market reading over the Holiday Season, then that can only mean one thing...you are a keener. I salute you.

Dec 16, 2005 -- Just the charts including a seasonal chart.

Dec 15, 2005 -- Israel readies forces for strike on nuclear Iran

Dec 14, 2005 -- Short term buy.

Dec 14, 2005 -- No real confirmation yet that the gold sector has topped

Dec 12, 2005 -- More toast

Dec 12, 2005 -- HUI has a bad bad day.

Dec 10, 2005 -- Some scary thoughts about "Helicopter Ben's" plans for us all.

Dec 2, 2005 -- I am still waiting for a similar development in bullion's COT structure. Over the past few years bullion COT has frequently gone from an optimum sell range to an optimum buy with only minor retracements in actual price.

Nov 28, 2005 -- The 15000 level beckons as multi-decade resistance is tested.

Nov 26, 2005 -- Daily, weekly charts

Nov 26, 2005 -- Just the charts. No commentary this week.

Nov 22, 2005 -- Some compelling charts, and maybe a little rattling of the cage bars.

Nov 19, 2005 -- ..if the HUI breaks out then the plan is to put on the nose plugs and rubber gloves and buy back in.

Nov 13, 2005 -- On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate

Nov 12, 2005 -- There is no basic change to my thoughts of last week. Gold was due for an up week, but I am not convinced that something "big" is happening.

Nov 12, 2005 -- Just the charts. No commentary.

Nov 10, 2005 -- analysis of how the new gold ETF's have changed the interpretation metric of Premium/discount values for the Central Fund of Canada

Nov 4, 2005 -- I remain on the sidelines and am waiting to see the gold sector enter a more bullish configuration.

Nov 1, 2005 -- HUI:XAU ratio has deteriorated

Oct 31, 2005 -- Things are moving into good technical buy territory.

Oct 30, 2005 -- Watch and shoot

Oct 21, 2005 -- The HUI/Gold ratio break-down is the key technical event.

Oct 21, 2005 -- Just a personal chart

Oct 21, 2005 -- My thought is that the sector is going into a long (12 months plus) consolidation which will take the form of a triangle. The lows of this correction should be at hand within the first month or two

Oct 19, 2005 -- HUI/Gold Ratio slips under some important support metrics

Oct 15, 2005 -- The question remains...Is this the start of a major upleg or the top of a counter trend rally?

Oct 9, 2005 -- An addendum to a "A Look at Oil", various intelligence notes, and anyone investing in South American resource companies

Oct 7, 2005 -- Be vigilant.

Oct 6, 2005 -- With Iran squarely in the sights of US and British rhetoric I cannot see the risk premium being taken off any time soon

Oct 6, 2005 -- Looks like some retesting.

Sep 30, 2005 -- It is not that the sector can't keep going up but the risk premium is a little high, at least from an "indexing" point of view.

Sep 28, 2005 -- Notice that the XAU rallied up to its previous highs, which represents a 45% advance from its May lows. Since October of 2000, every time the XAU has rallied between 45% and 50%, we have gotten a pullback. In the absence of any exogenous event, we don't see any reason why this time would be any different.

Sep 26, 2005 -- The cream of the US Army is in Iraq right now.

Sep 23, 2005 -- watching the evacuation out of Houston really impressed upon me the necessity of avoiding being part of a herd rushing to an exit.

Sep 17, 2005 -- Strong momentum has brought things to overbought territory. Right now I am expecting any retracement to have a corrective nature.

Sep 16, 2005 -- Price action is tremendous

Sep 16, 2005 -- In the case of General Motors for example, 80% of its 2004 earnings came from GMAC, its financial division. GMAC doesn't

Sep 15, 2005 -- A HUGE bullish technical event.

Sep 13, 2005 -- Sold on SRI.V ho-hum drill results, holding CLL.

Sep 10, 2005 -- The sector had another constructive week.

Sep 5, 2005 -- I think gold and oil are necessary stocks to hold if you want to protect yourself from being priced into the stone age.

Aug 30, 2005 -- Right now I think the only thing that can really put a dent in the oil bull, is a severe dent on the demand side in the form of a global recession.

Aug 29, 2005 -- Some ratios and a look at silver

Aug 27, 2005 -- The really big fly in the ointment remains the COT structure which has not improved one iota and remains at historically bearish levels.

Aug 13, 2005 -- Bullion is reaching an overbought condition on the daily time scale. Worse the COT data is extremely bearish

Aug 7, 2005 -- Leaning towards the "do" in "do or die".

Aug 1, 2005 -- Now in the process of testing key support metrics

Jul 29, 2005 -- I have no real change to comments made last week

Jul 28, 2005 -- A long term-chart of the SPX/VXO ratio

Jul 22, 2005 -- I don't know which way it will break, but I know what I am going to do.

Jul 22, 2005 -- An oil sands play for your consideration

Jul 16, 2005 -- In short, from a technical perspective the sector is in a "show me" juncture

Jul 14, 2005 -- padding is getting thin

Jul 13, 2005 -- HUI and HUI/Gold ratio

Jul 9, 2005 -- Looking at everything though, I think bullion will remain under pressure. I would see any break-out to be of dubious quality ..

Jul 5, 2005 -- All is not lost yet.

Jul 1, 2005 -- The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Jun 27, 2005 -- Stick two forks in it.

Jun 18, 2005 -- The potential of this move simply makes it too expensive not to participate in.

Jun 15, 2005 -- So far so good

Jun 14, 2005 -- Even better, my perusal of the boards shows there is no shortage of "sophisticated" traders shorting gold...The contrarian in me is smiling.

Jun 11, 2005 -- Everything still looks good.

Jun 9, 2005 -- Rubic Cube Stuff

Jun 7, 2005 -- Bearish for the dollar

Jun 6, 2005 -- A gold sentiment chart I haven't looked at for awhile. It definitely shows positive divergence. It also shows that one is certainly NOT buying at a gold top!

Jun 5, 2005 -- Now when one talks about "Wave III" type stuff one is talking about something more than a major upleg. One is talking about moves which contain inexorable energy

Jun 1, 2005 -- Silver sees energetic price action in the face of a strong USD

May 31, 2005 -- Something "big" may be happening

May 29, 2005 -- from a purely technical point of view this seems to be text-book circumstance to initiate dollar short positions.

May 23, 2005 -- Things are looking promising.

May 21, 2005 -- On the HUI I would look at the 18 and 20 ema. They have been confining the index during its recent spiral downwards

May 18, 2005 -- Just hacking around

May 14, 2005 -- The stench of deflationary forces permeated the markets last week, leaving the gold sector taking a good long hard look into the abyss

May 7, 2005 -- To sum up, this is all going to end badly; the only question is timing

May 4, 2005 -- A trade idea.

May 3, 2005 -- The bold are jumping in, but bamboo spikes abound.

Apr 15, 2005 -- Price action trumps oversold conditions.

Apr 13, 2005 -- A "reflation" cycle is not underway.

Apr 13, 2005 -- China Fund has broken down through some key price supports.

Apr 13, 2005 -- Some charts for your consideration

Apr 9, 2005 -- If pressed right now I would say we are looking at one more up down sequence before we really can start talking about the correction ending.

Apr 5, 2005 -- Maybe Not

Apr 2, 2005 -- Hey speaking of feeding tubes, what about that good old US economy?

Mar 30, 2005 -- I consider this configuration to be bearish.

Mar 25, 2005 -- As mentioned in mid-week commentary, there appeared to me to be the faint aroma of deflation in the air.

Mar 24, 2005 -- A potpourri of charts

Mar 22, 2005 -- The bears are starting to sniff blood

Mar 20, 2005 -- Price action last week all looks corrective, so a return to these previous trends is expected.

Mar 16, 2005 -- Is the market ready to experience an oil shock of historic proportions? Certainly the ground work is being laid.

Mar 16, 2005 -- Bodes well for the inflation case.

Mar 12, 2005 -- Bullion is in the same technical condition that saw the dollar rolling over. Will the same happen here?

Mar 10, 2005 -- Just stumbled onto it myself but going through the site is like a crash course in TA...some good stuff indeed.

Mar 8, 2005 -- HUI/Gold ratio looking good

Mar 8, 2005 -- Black comedy farce has greater implications

Mar 4, 2005 -- Lots of moving average and trend-line support here. The stochastics say to expect continued strength going into the week.

Feb 28, 2005 -- A very speculative gold exploration company. They are at the low end of their historical price range.

Feb 27, 2005 -- Just some charts to keep an eye on. Bullish means reinflation still alive. Bearish has deflationary liquidity crunch overtones

Feb 26, 2005 -- The HUI/Gold ratio is still within the bounds of a triangle, indeed mid-way between main support and resistance.

Feb 23, 2005 -- While in this condition, good trading practices trump technical analysis

Feb 19, 2005 -- Contending with short-term price and moving average resistance.

Feb 18, 2005 -- What would have seemed fantastical five years ago is, in my opinion, now within the realm of possibility

Feb 18, 2005 -- again I am on the hunt for stragglers who are showing potential of catching up. Two punts for your consideration.

Feb 14, 2005 -- It's all about babes, cars and handguns

Feb 11, 2005 -- Buy and try.

Feb 6, 2005 -- For gold to remain in a bull market now requires the herd to find religion to break out of its multi-decade channel. There is no lack of reasons for this to happen but the proof is in the pudding

Feb 5, 2005 -- Again the big concern is the relative under performance with the USD which is nowhere close to topping out as in times past.

Feb 5, 2005 -- Everything looks constructive and there is nothing from a TA perspective, that I see anyways, that says recent trend are about to reverse.

Feb 3, 2005 -- Charts are at the proverbial "interesting juncture".

Feb 2, 2005 -- charts on gold and some stocks

Feb 1, 2005 -- The message is clear. China is a cheap place to manufacture goods, but investing to produce goods for the domestic market is fraught with danger.

Jan 25, 2005 -- Today's price action is a bearish omen and, to me, says the time is not quite ripe for buying.

Jan 14, 2005 -- Daily and Weekly Charts

Jan 12, 2005 -- Not looking too good.

Jan 9, 2005 -- Just more notes to muddy the waters.

Jan 9, 2005 -- A strong dollar rally would be another victory of illusion over reality. Of course potential paper losses would be no illusion.

Jan 4, 2005 -- It is clear that the gold market is anticipating some kind of IT bottom for the USD.

Jan 3, 2005 -- in terms of trading head-space I maintain high level of cash with up to 20% available for short-term bounce trading.
