It is no mystery that the longer the Fed keeps from raising rates, the harder it is for banks to make money which depresses their stock values. In anticipation of the eventual rate increase, certain banks have taken the brunt of the punishment the past few years as they struggle to restructure to become more efficient in an ever increasingly competitive market...

Self-inflicting wounds provide the best opportunity when markets mirror an emotional response that diverges from the economic realities of a nation awash in resources. Patience is an investors best friend and when pull backs occur, we take notice and begin positioning ourselves to benefit from a shift in social mood or rather a saturation in news that provides a...

I am neutral as I wait to see if 443 holds but would not go short unless 400 confirms the breakdown. The Green channel is where I am watching with a greater than 65% probability a short squeeze occurs into 617 area in short order. If we get a quick rise, I would only look to add shorts at 710-720 area, looking for wicks. One could short the initial 617 price...

I am looking for gold to dip into 1345 but the short term should bounce around this target before a final drop into the Fed meeting.
