Here Is Change We Really Can Believe In !

Meet Hans Herman Hoppe

First – Karl Menger launched the modern age of economics and solved the “value paradox”.

Second – Ludwig von Mises stood on Menger’s shoulders & advanced economic theory by proving that socialism is impossible because it can’t price resources. Mises also proved that accurate econometrics is impossible because there are no “Constants” in human valuations (just observe the price of gasoline)!

Third – Murry Rothbard took Mises to new levels by providing the moral foundations to a free society.

And Now Hans Herman Hoppe is catapulting our paradigms and maps of what a Free Society should look like to spectacular heights.

Learn From Professor Hoppe For Free!

Almost all his works are available for FREE in PDF format and MP3!

Do you really care about living in a Free Society?  There is only one option (yes it takes some effort) educate yourself, your friends and family.  Fortunately these recorded lectures make it easier ;-) .

Heed This – The only way to secure your wealth and that of your posterity is to invest in a Free Society!  Western Civilization is currently in the process of de-civilization.  So roll up your intellectual sleeves and listen to a message of Hoppe. We can reverse this trend and help carry civilization to new heights of freedom and prosperity.  Yes dear reader the future of Western Civilization depends on you.  I don’t provide pablum on this site.  I attempt to provide meat in addition to daily bread.  But at the end of the day it is earned by the sweat of your brow :-) .

Start by downloading the first in a series of 10 Hoppe lectures in MP3 format.

Drop me a comment and share your thoughts after listening to real Hoppe.

And “Viva La Libertad”.

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

Current FF Market Model Allocation?

market-model-deux2

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.

leprechaun-n-gold-pot1Cash 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!

This is not investment related BUT I am so proud and excited.  I have been working on a new calendar system for a couple of years (one of my many avocations/challenges).  Last night I roughly mapped it on to the Analema.  The result BLEW MY MIND!  To see what entertains your polymath partner…..

A long time friend and client sent me the following email regarding the Fibonacci Financial web site.  Since he did not post it as a comment, I will.  Thank You So Very Much Mateo ;-)
“Okay,
First, it is a rich, generous, cornucopia of insight and opinion.  I wish I could have had access to all this that was bubbling around inside your head before I had to learn the hard way about so many things.  I really needed this kind of insight, in a “studyable” format, laid-out to be read.  And so, people like me are one of your target markets:  Small businessmen, aggressive traders.  But that’s only a small part.  And that leads me to the next point:  who is your target market?  Who is your readership?  More importantly, who are you trying to attract?  I’ll get back to that in a minute.
We need to organize the cornucopia.
Start at the top.  You need a mission statement.
Most readers don’t know “fibonacci.”  Sure, it sounds cool. But you need a sub-heading explaining just what your website is.  How about, “World Market Insights for the Rest of Us.”         Or…. “Pelosi Swallows.”
Right under Fibonacci.
Don’t want to be too INTELLECTUAL if you are trying to attract readers that need your insight.  You must not make it a Club for Clever Insiders, people that know the inside references and sophisticated lingo and just like to show how smart they are to each other. This is a fault of so many writers and advisers.  Mr. Newsletter Writer (name deleted) does this. He only keeps his readership because of mass emailings and an endless list of other writers. He writes to a group of “in the know” wealthy veteran investors for the most part.  As do a dozen others that I could name.  They are useless to the common investor/ common man trying to figure out what to do next.
You don’t show any arrogance throughout the website.  You are simply, to smart for your own good.  You’ve got to dumb it down.  Yes, you have links to more intellectual discussions for sophistocated readers, but not on the home page.  The home page needs to be, always, an introductory page.  A page that is designed to grab the attention of the newest browser.  Your regular readers will know to brush the  attention-grabbing stuff.  One technique is to personalize it; get the reader to internalize what you are saying.  Newsletter writers do this buy leading in with stuff like, “How to Make Sure the Meltdown Doesn’t Drag You Down With It,”  or “Double Your Nest Egg By Understanding Gold’s Next Moves.”
Okay, back to the readership that you’re trying to attract.  A survey is good.  The Ayn Rand book offer is good.  You may want that to be your lead line above your first article.  “Win a free book just for commenting on this website…..”  You could do a survey.  Super brief, with just a few questions about what readers are thinking about.  “Milk Michael’s MInd:  Get Free Insight from a top analyst.  Just ask.  Answer the five (5) questions below, and let me attack the issues you bring up.”  (By the way, you can say “top analyst” all you want.  You’re My top analyst, so there, you’re fine.  It is called “puffing” in legaleze and it is absolutely legal.
So why aren’t people making comments?  If you’ve had 600 hits and comments from only 3 or 4 people, there are a few things I’d point out.  First of all, 1% comment ratio is not bad; it’s probably right on.  Two, maybe you want to use some Google Ad words for a month to generate a fresh base of new readers, a broader range where you haven’t been fishing before.  Three, your site is so full of big words that you intimidate the potential commentors.  Simply put, Michael, they don’t want to ask a simple question and look stupid.   Even I don’t want to post a comment on your page and look stupid.
How do you solve this? Engage them on a lower level.  Guide them in, don’t hit them with references to authors and works that, or them, are obscure and intimidating.  People don’t know economists and theorists and thinkers.  They just want some guidance.  Use phrases like, “A lot of people are worried about…..,  are you concerned about this too?….”  “There was an author that addressed this…..”   People don’t want to admit that they’ve lost 60% of their assets, or everything at all.  They feel stupid and don’t know what to do.  They have heard soooo much talk from the heads on CNBC, CNNFN, and all the media.  Talking heads are in the business of sounding smarter than everybody else and CYH, covering thier hineys.
Shift your “call to action” areas down from the “intro/guidance” areas.  Have a “take action, i.e., “buy silver,” “write your congressman,” area, “small businessman perspective,” “from the housing trenches,” “traders’ forum,” areas…   but not mixed in with the intro area of the home page.
Remember above all else, that you are doing great.  You are trying to do something that millions of other people are not doing.  And your readers will appreciate that.  If they do not, well then, you don’t really need them as your readers, do you?
!Mucho suerte!
Mateo”
Dear Readers, do you agree, disagree – whats on your mind?

The Commitment of Traders COT reports from last week show that the commercial traders (the insiders) have been buying gold and silver.  The speculators have still spent most of their available funds so this will not generate a new bull market.  Short term the precious metals are not likely to break down as I had anticipated but will possibly drift higher.  But stay tuned, gold and silver will still be available at much lower prices as soon as the Mini Bailout Bubble exhausts itself. Patience dear reader.  The opportunity is probably 3-9 months down the road.

Your ever vigilant analyst. ;-)

PS: If you were watching Silver after I posted the point and figure chart, you noticed it didn’t break down and confirm gold’s break down.  That kind of a non confirmation was an early signal that something had changed.

Stay tuned for more!
