Why Financial Speculation is so Special

The Thrill of Trading
I recently wrote a piece touting the importance of market timing as a lead up to my upcoming webinar. The primary focus of the article was the idea that time targets are complimentary to price targets, and as such more fully equip a trader. In my mentoring of other traders, through the years, and certainly […]

I get my edge from timing
A basic premise of technical analysis is that all information one needs is contained in the price. By extension, each and every day and in fact each and every moment, a market’s price composed of a time and a price component. In other words this space/time or more specifically price/time continuum of energy is what […]

Current calculations suggest that time is running out for various financial sectors to reach critical resonance points correlated with directional […]

Finding the Market’s Mojo
To follow a trend, once it has begun, or to anticipate a trend in advance of its start, are two opposite approaches that speculators consider. In order to improve my edge, I continually look for ways to reconcile the different analytical types. Curiously, I often use the Elliott Wave Principle to liaison my trend analysis […]

Since the bottom at the end of last year, gold prices have been steadily rising. This has prompted much discussion related to a new bull market in the metals having already commenced. My analysis suggests that gold is still in a correction. I might refer to the rally in gold prices since the December 31, […]
