Where Are We In The Markets and What Should We Do?

Current FF Market Model Allocation?

Category 1 – Cash

Gold and Silver are most likely in a long term up trend that started in 2001.  They peaked in 2008 and are currently working their way down and up and down to the first buying opportunity in several years.  Remember nothing goes staight up or down.  Gold should be buy below $700 and silver should be a buy below $7 (very rough guidance).  The pot at the end of this rainbow is a few months away.

PS: This is supported by Long Term precious metal cycles, Long Term trend lines going back to 2001.  The only caveat is the concern as to how they will be affected by the next killer deflationary wave.  This will be monitored as they come back down to their long term trend lines.  Also there is a chance that I will be wrong about deflation coming next.  If inflation is next the price action in the precious metals will show their hand and we will make the appropriate investment response and buy into strength ala Jesse Livermore.

Cash is KING again.  Long live the King.  The U.S. Dollar was in a bear market for several years up till September of 2008.  It is now in a multi-year bull market.  Yes Washington DC and the Fed are doing everything in their power to devalue it BUT the following factors trump their printing press profligacy in the short term anyway.  First and foremost the massive debt accumulation over the last few years is serving as a massive short squeeze against the dollar.  This now turns into a panic for dollars.  Also, in a fractional reserve fiat money system as debt collapses, a reverse leverage works and money supply in the broad sense implodes far faster than the boyz at the fed and treasury can print it.  Add to that the dollar got way over devalued against other fiat (rag money) currencies such as the euro.

PS: This is supported by Commitment of Trader COT activity, Cycle Studies, Elliot Wave action and Point and Figure chart action.

Yes then there is the Euro.  It was in a bull market for several years and got so overvalued that even famous runway models became financial geniuses.  Now it is just Euro trash for a couple of years – if it survives.  Currency unions are notoriously short lived.  Yes I can hear all of you One World conspiracy theorists howling at the moon!  FYI I have read Tragedy and Hope by Caroll Quigley (heavily annotated)and much more.  Please read The Great Wave by David Hacket Fischer for starters and then lets chat.  If the Great Wave does not get the One Worlders the Singularity will!

Category 2 – Lending (Debt Instruments)

To be continued tomorrow.   Yes dear reader for next few days I will cover a category a day.

Since we are midstream in so many markets, it seemed like a good time to start filling out the FF Market Map.

Stay tuned for more.   And remember most of the time it is best to be patient and let the market provide its bounties in its own time.  Get in a rush and you loose….

As always, if you have questions about Category 1 Cash – please drop me a comment and I will address it manana!
