January 29, 2020 | Are We Setting Up For A Waterfall Selloff?
Most traders understand what a “Waterfall event” is if you’ve been trading for more than 3 years. Nearly every downside price reversion event initiates in a breakdown event (the first tier of the waterfall event) which is followed by additional deeper waterfall price collapses. Almost like price breaks lower, finds support, settles near support, then […]

January 28, 2020 | War Profits Are A Comin’!
I think I threw you for a loop last week when I said this: This new convergence of War Cycles will also coincide with the last stock market boom of our lifetimes — a boom that too many ordinary investors will miss out on due to bad advice and even blind panic. When wars break out, investors’ […]
January 28, 2020 | Bull Fever Didn’t Cool for Long
A killer virus on the prowl around the planet evidently was not on investors’ fevered brains Tuesday as they proved yet again that betting heavily against a third straight down-day is nearly always a big winner. The S&Ps were up 32 points, with a corresponding gain in the Dow Industrials that has put 30,000 in […]
January 28, 2020 | Discovering Cycles
QUESTION: Speaking of cycles and frequency I guess the question is how to find the exact beginning of a cycle? You say 8.6 is the base frequency. Why not 8.5875? In other words, how do you come up with the exact day a cycle begins? A ANSWER: You have to discover them. The 8.6 I […]
January 28, 2020 | The Most Splendid Housing Bubbles in America, January Update
Reports have been circulating for a while about the deterioration in the Manhattan housing market, including a report in December that studied condo towers with 30 or more units, built after 2015, in total 7,727 condos, nearly half of which the developers have been unable to sell.

January 28, 2020 | Guggenheim Co-founder: Fed has Created a ‘Ponzi’ Market
Scott Minerd, Guggenheim Partners co-founder and Guggenheim Global chief investment officer, discusses his concerns about rallying asset prices. Here is a direct video link. It is rare to hear financial establishment heads admit the truth about the present market cycle. As we consider Scott Minerd’s comments, it is important to appreciate what Ponzi schemes are and […]
January 28, 2020 | Rhodium Roulette
Rhodium prices have spiked. It’s now the top-performing metal of the decade, and speculators are excited. Since I—quite frankly—missed the boat on palladium in 2019, this makes it worth considering. But before we get into this, I have to say up front that I’m not a rhodium expert. I could read a bunch of articles […]
January 28, 2020 | The Clueless
Remember all that political stuff we waded through last week as I announced my shocking withdrawal from the race to become the new Con leader? At least it cleared the way for Peter MacKay on the weekend. Now, barring the unexpected, he’ll be facing T2 in the next general election. It won’t be pretty. But […]

January 27, 2020 | Seeing Cycles Everywhere Around Us
For years, it has been a sort of family joke that I view the world around me and see the cycles in everything. I had walked into a casino and noticed there were cycles to the numbers coming out on a roulette wheel, but more fascinating was that the cycles were unique to each dealer. […]
January 27, 2020 | Coronavirus, VIX and SMA
The Coronaviris may have been the catalyst, but our VIX model warned of imminent market vulnerability. Friday’s close below the 10-day sma was the trigger following the key date of January 8th in our presidential/decennial cycle analysis.
January 27, 2020 | Yield Curve Inversions Again Stretch Out 7 Years
Huge portions of the the yield curve are inverted. Most of the inversions are by tiny amounts, but it’s another warning. With growing concern over the Coronavirus, yields dropped again today and portions of the yield curve are inverted out to seven years.For example, the yield on the 7-year not is lower than the yield […]
January 27, 2020 | ‘Fourth Turning’ of Status Quo Systems and Beliefs Likely to Last to 2030
A slowing global economy with record debt, levered speculators and irrationally valued corporate securities make the world extra vulnerable to negative shocks that inevitably come in the form of trade wars, catastrophic weather events, disasters, war, terrorism and pandemics. Today, we have all of the above in the mix. Importantly, this is all happening within […]

Platinum has setup into a longer-term FLAG formation and has recently broken the APEX of this FLAG. The long term potential for Platinum, in conjunction with the advance in Rhodium, Palladium, Gold, and Silver, is a new Bullish Price Trend.

January 27, 2020 | This Black Swan Could Make Us Rich or Kill Us—I Actually Hope It’s Neither…
I’m posting this from an undisclosed location, as I’m out kicking rocks on behalf of subscribers to The Independent Speculator. Getting here meant sitting for hours in a sealed aluminum cylinder with wings, breathing the same air as hundreds of fellow passengers. It also meant touching doorknobs, handles, seat buttons, and countless other objects handled […]
January 27, 2020 | The Panic
She lived a couple of doors away in our townhouse complex in mid-town Toronto. One day yellow CAUTION tape went up around her front entrance facing the common courtyard. In the underground parking garage the guy living beside us had some information. “SARS,” he said. She was dead a week later. That was 2003, and […]
January 27, 2020 | Reaction to Apple’s Earnings Today Holds Key
Buyers hung tough on Monday because DaBoyz were able to exhaust sellers ahead of the opening bell. They won’t be able to rig the game that way on Tuesday, though, since the ‘coronavirus effect’ — on stocks, not humans — is already well in play. Rumors continue to swirl concerning the death toll in China, […]
January 26, 2020 | Breakout in Dollar and T-Bonds Could Be Signaling a Major Tone Change
Friday’s nasty stock-market reversal was the most interesting we’ve seen in a long while. The ostensible cause of the selloff was mounting anxiety over the spread of the deadly coronavirus from China to the U.S. and elsewhere. Three cases have been reported so far in the U.S. and 2,000 worldwide, and although no one […]
