Today (Wed 17th July 2013) silver was slammed down, so it time to review the dominant cycle to see where we are.
Silver Etf (SLV) has a very strong weekly 210 period cycle and it suggest that there is little down side to go, however SLV could still print between $15 and $17 in the near future. As always watch for a base to build before jumping in. (more…)
If you have seen the Kevn Spacey movie named ‘Margin Call’ then you have a fair idea what went on by the insiders (ie Bullion Banks) to the price of gold during April 2013. Here we look at the April and June 2013 gold smack down (more…)
