Yes Dear Reader, Silver and Gold rallied after the COT Sell Signal.

One of the advantages of following the COT reports is to help determine which breakouts are the beginning of a new trend and which are not.  With the COT reports providing a sell signal on Silver, I give this rally low odds.

Also, The Commercials (insiders) set up their positions early and against short term trends.  Patience, patience ;-)

The odds still favor a failed rally attempt in the precious metals and not the start of the next major leg up in a bull market move.

FYI – while Gold and Silver represent a significant part of the Core holdings in our portfolio right now, they were acquired at substantially lower prices.

What Are All Those XXXX’s and OOOO’s on the Charts?

( No Dear Reader They Don’t Represent Hugs n Kisses! )

Several readers have indicated that they are not familiar with the point and figure charts that I use for illustration purposes in the blog.  John Murphy (world class technical analyst) provides an excellent overview of Point and Figure charting on his web site StockCharts.com.  If anyone is interested in why I use these “old fashioned” P and F charts drop a comment requesting additional information.

Do not get the idea that you can trade or make investment decisions from my blog entries.  These are an introduction to my services and do not constitute investment advice.
