Gold Looks Good
I was looking at CME GC Gold Futures, August 2025 expiry, 2 weeks down and reached a price area that my model considers oversold:
Setting a Target for PALL
Pulsing Palladium
Before this Monday, I had never traded anything to do with palladium in my entire life. However, over the weekend I decided this laggard metal was worth a shot, so I started buying on Monday.
I am ashamed to say that yesterday morning, when PALL was slipping lower, I was briefly tempted to dump it and be done with it, but I looked at the charts more and decided not only was I not going to dump it, but I was going to push deep into margin and buy a lot more. Well, thank God for that…………it blasted higher yesterday, eased back all night long, and then went into blast-off mode again.
