And when you look at the gold price and silver price charts, well, 'tain't so bad.The gold price is hanging on bouncing along that shoulder line support, which has to be thin as cheap cotton socks. The SILVER PRICE hangs on in that falling wedge (Chart is beginning to look like one of those bill-dipper toys that dips its bill in water then straightens up).
Of course, I can't thank like one of them snaiks in the Fed, for which I am grateful to heaven, but if I could, I'd be thanking 'bout how to knock the smart-aleck & spunk out of that dollar & send it down about 10 points before the whole universe unbuckles. If I was sitting on the FOMC, that's what I'd do, but shucks, I ain't got a pair of pointy-toe shoes to my name, let alone a silk suit or Harvard BAM. Or MAB, or BMA, whatever the letters. They wouldn't let me in the door as a tourist!
From an 11 March 2015 interview in The Gold Report with John Hathaway, senior portfolio manager at Tocqueville Asset Management fund:
TGR: Is this a good time to buy gold or should people wait and see if it goes even lower?
JH: It seems to be a good time. Gold is already strong in every currency other than the dollar. Negative interest rates in much of the world and the overly strong dollar should eventually result in political pressure to cheapen the dollar, but against what? The only monetary asset left standing will be gold.

Lo, I'm warning y'all. It's getting that time of year when the sun shines and the daffodils bloom & the birds "machen melodye and sclepen all the night with open eye." Blue birds are nesting outside my window somewhere, as I keep seeing the proud male perched on the rail. I ain't worth killin' this time of year.
Strange gainsaying and contradiction in business media today. Headlines say the stock market rose because the dollar sank ahead of the F(ederal) O(xygen-wasting) M(onetary) C(retins) meeting on Wednesday. Problem is, on the market I watch the dollar index rose 63 basis points or 0.63% to 100.04. Current market shows about 99.70, which is still up from Friday. Looks like to me the dollar kept rising today.
But stocks rose, too. Dow jumped 228.11 (1.29%) to 17,977.42 & the S&P500 added 27.79 (1.35%) to 2,081.19.
Fix this in your mind: As long as they cannot surpass the last highs at 18,288.63 & 2,120 they are doomed.
Which brings me to a meditation upon the 2-Wave. Markets tend to advance -- whether advancing up or down -- in five waves. Biggest of those is usually the 3-wave. Safest place to buy for the best gain is the peak or trough of the 2-wave, so you catch the big 3-Wave setting out.
Now think of a peaking market about to make an impulse move down. It drops sharply to the bottom of a 1-wave, then recovers with a strong-as-a-garlic-milkshake 2-wave up, then it reaches the peak of that 2-wave up & falls off the edge of the escarpment where Tarzan used to live, or Iguaçu Falls, or Niagara Falls, or the height of your choice into that vast 3-wave abyss, itself divided into five down waves.
Meseemeth it likely that somewhere between here and 18,228.63, the last high, that this two wave will top. If all this is accurate, that top in the next few days would be a very profitable place to short stocks.
At least, that's what my friend Bob the Market Genius taught me years ago, always sell the peaking 2-wave and buy the troughing 2-wave. Trick is to identify them.Aurum et argentum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.

Do NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don't intend them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures.
NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps.
NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced.
NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt.
What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands.
One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose.
