PRICE I'll have to re-examine all that optimism I sported yesterday. Let's see .
. . Yep, I've re-examined and I am as bullish as ever on silver and gold. I will
even explain how, a little later. However, bear in mind that I warned yesterday
this would be a toilsome week for silver and gold. Apparently somebody sent out
a world-wide announcement today saying "Buy stocks and sell silver and GOLD at
3:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time." That's about when the panic hit the gold
market. The GOLD PRICE had closed at $1,693.70, not bad after a $1,685 low, but
at a little after 3:00 the bottom dropped plumb out, taking gold from $1,680 to
$1,665 faster than a car window will suck a $100 bill out a window when you're
doing 80 miles an hour on the interstate. Gold bounced on that right cheerily,
about like Play-dough bounces, up to $1,675-ish. Fess up, it's a new low for the
week, which will suck gold down toward $1,640. If that breaks, chart offers no
comfort and support before $1,550 - $1,525. One more push down is in the deck,
to finish the correction off the February 29 high. This shouldn't last more than
a week, 10 days. The SILVER PRICE chart doesn't quite match gold's, although it
also shows a fast drop after 3:00 pm.. Low came later as it fell fast in the
aftermarket, as low as 3296c. Comex actually closed UP 17c at 3354.4c, so it
appeared we'd have another of those one-metal-up/ other-metal-down days that
lately presages an up day for both following. Not today. Silver reeled like an
punchy old boxer hit with brass knucks. This is getting serious today -- if
silver lets go of its hold on 3300c, then look for 3183c, maybe 3150c. Now y'all
are scratching your heads wondering what possible Ace in the Hole I might be
holding to support my bullish outlook. I believe that silver and gold are
putting the finishing touches on upside- down head and shoulders pattern that
foretell LARGE rallies. Also, I have been pondering silver's 300 day moving
average, checking that against the ancient days of this bull market, and it is
flashing a green light. But what do I know? I'm the Tennessee fool who thought
yesterday that stocks were about to drop against gold and silver. Now I am not,
I promise going to dredge up all the fundamentals -- the inflation, the bad
investment not yet liquidated, all the debt, the Moe-Rons running things -- that
doom stocks and smile on silver and gold. I'm not even going to say, as I
usually do, that the news for stocks is about as good as it gets. Naw, if I said
any of that it would just sound like exculpation or self-justification, and I
personally would rather wait for events to unfold and show y'all that all by
themselves. Shucks, I don't know hardly anything. When you talk about buying
stock, all I can think of is rare pigs. One thing you learn from studying
history is that DISCONTINUOUS EVENTS -- those great rifts that divide ages and
forever change the world from the bottom up -- don't happen very often. Most of
the time, today passes about like yesterday did, but every once in a while,
something happens, at first perhaps insignificant, that changes everything. Keep
trudging, O Weary Americans, the gate to Schlaraffenland, the land where nobody
has to work, the beer is free, and the roast chickens fly into your mouth under
their own power, lies right around the bend, our Leaders and Gurus assure us.
Markets certainly can keep you humble -- several times a day. Hard on the heels
of my expectation that stocks would begin underperforming gold and silver,
stocks rose mightily and silver and gold fell sharply. I reckon I DO look like a
natural born fool. But only for a little while. Veritas temporis filia. Stocks
broke through the 13,000 barrier like thirsty longhorns stampeding to an alkali
pond. Couldn't stop em if you tried. Dow gained 217.97 points or 1.68%. (I can't
remember -- one of y'all remind me -- what day was it the Dow FELL 203.66
points. Was that 6 March?) S&P500 rose 1.81% or 24.87 points to end at 1,395.96.
About 100 points of today's rally came after 3:00 p.m. From 10:00 to 3:00 the
Dow gained from 13,000 to 13,100. Tail end of the day, the last hour, it jumped
another one hundred points. News says stocks had been buoyed by good retail
sales reports (government numbers -- need I say more?), then the Bernancubus'
open market committee voted to keep interest rates near zero, yakka-yakka-yakka.
Today some say the market interpreted all this as meaning more liquidity,
a.k.a., printing more money, but if the market's expecting more inflation out of
the Fed, why did the dollar rise and silver and gold sink all while stocks rose?
Blub, splutter, I don't know, they have to say. Well, at least charts don't
prevaricate much, so let's look at them. The Dow traced out a bearish rising
wedge, fell out of it downside as the pattern foretells, then against all
expectation turned and crossed above its 20 DMA and broke out above last May's
high. What can I say? The chart lied. It's headed higher, maybe to 14,000,
floating on a sea of fresh money. Besides, if it reaches 14,000, it will almost
reach the inflation-adjusted value of January 2000. Friends, I'm going to snatch
victory out of the jaws of defeat, or die trying. US dollar index ought to have
surprised no one today when it gained 33 basis points (0.42%) to 80.22. 79.90
now will pitch in with strong support while the dollar heads for 82 and above.
Higher close tomorrow confirms that upward intention, as it will close above the
last high for two days. The yen and euro bowed courteously to the dollar and
fell 0.52% to $1.3086 and 0.81% to 120.56 cents (Y82.95). New low for the yen,
with no discernible bottom. At least the euro probably won't fall much below
$1.2900. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.

79.23 Change : -0.485 or -0.61% The GOLD PRICE pushed nearly to the crucial
resistance at $1,705 with a $1,703.80 high today. Closed below the $1,700 at
$1,698.10 on Comex, up $14.80. Even if the GOLD PRICE climbs to $1,715 it won't
convince me that it has completed its correction. Nope, it would have to close
ABOVE $1,715, maybe $1,725. The SILVER PRICE didn't gain as much as gold today,
so the GOLD/SILVER RATIO rose from 50.183 to 50.256. That non-confirmation
itself jaundices the eye. Silver added 24.6c to close Comex at 3378.9c. It
bounced to 3415c, but resistance at that height wrestled silver back down to
that 3378.9. Above 3400c more resistance awaits, stoutly armed, at 3450c. What
if I am wrong? Well, in that alternate universe silver has only corrected back
down to and slightly violated that down trend line it broke through in
mid-March, and day before yesterday's low just above the 50 DMA played out the
oft-seen touchback ("Final Kiss Good-bye") that proves the breakout. Possible,
but I can't get into that universe from here. The chart and my suspicion are
jamming my de-materializer. Unlike some folks, I don't mind saying "I told y'all
so" especially when it concerns rotten parasites in banking and government. CNBC
on 6 March reported "Huge Spike in Repeat Foreclosures." "Thousands of
foreclosures that were stuck in process due to delays over the so-called
'Robo-signing' paperwork scandal are working their way through a revamped
banking system and heading toward final bank repossession." When the state
attorneys general announced their big compact with the big banks about
robo-signing, which the banks signed so they could re-create mortgage documents
they lacked for foreclosure, I told y'all that it was a deal of, by, and for the
banks. They gave up a piddling $2,000 a head to those they had wronged, and in
return got government- encouraged rewriting of mortgages to perfect their bad
title. Thus were the mortgagees lured to their doom. Foreclosure surged 28% in
January. Only one question remains, Were the attorneys general snookered, or
corrupted? Odd, odd, 5 day gold and Dow charts share a resemblance, so I reckon
I am going to have to tell y'all to listen to what I mean, not what I say.
Yesterday I made much of stocks' and gold's and silver's failure to rise above
their breakdown points as proof they were in trouble, but today they rose into
those areas. Does that disprove my argument? Not in my view. Markets can ease up
into that area where they broke down, and still follow through downside. They
can even keep on rising above the breakdown, and leave behind a deadly double
top, an even surer sign that they will drop more. Okay, so interpreting a chart
is an art. When I paint y'all a picture, I don't always have time to tell you
how to wash out the brush. Start with stocks. On a five day chart they today
rose through the 12,850 area I mentioned yesterday. Dow added 70.61 points to
close 12,907.94 (0.55%). That's still below the breakdown at 12,950 (exactly),
and might become only a double top by reaching for 13,000. Why would I look for
a double top? Context. Background. This break and recovery is played out against
an aging (since 1 October 2011) rally, that (2) built into a large, VERY bearish
rising wedge. It asketh a whole lot to expect a market that long growing
overbought to extend a rally. Add (3), the Dow today closed below its 20 day
moving average (12,915.74). Any way you cut it, it's over for the Dow for a
while. S&P500 tagged along, rising 0.98% (13.28) to 1,365.91. Y'all watch: truth
is the daughter of time. The US DOLLAR INDEX lengthened its correction by
dropping a meaty 48.5 basis points (0.62%) to 79.227. Dropping below 79.30 was
sloppy, and a low at 79.163 looks positively slovenly. But what is the dollar
trying to protect? Really just that 79.00 psychological support and the 20 DMA
(79.06). It will probably hold and the dollar will resume advancing. What goosed
stocks today and the euro with them? The deadline for the elusive Greek Debt
Deal passed with a "majority" of investors signing on. Thus the world waxes
again optimistic, until the Deal comes unglued again, as 'twill, and soon. Euro
gained 0.92% (big for a currency) to 1.3270. Here's another reason why I
wouldn't trade currencies even with your money, because this reaction is wholly
irrational. BWDIK? Not a single currency in the world is worth backed by as much
as a bus token. The wave of schizo-optimism pushed traders out of the yen today.
It dropped 0.58% to 122.62c/Y100 (Y81.55/US$1). Looks looney. Two gappy
reversals in three days. Help. Argentum et aurum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and
silver must be bought. - Franklin Sanders, The Moneychanger The-MoneyChanger.com

banks. They gave up a piddling $2,000 a head to those they had wronged, and in
return got government- encouraged rewriting of mortgages to perfect their bad
title. Thus were the mortgagees lured to their doom. Foreclosure surged 28% in
January. Only one question remains, Were the attorneys general snookered, or
corrupted? Odd, odd, 5 day gold and Dow charts share a resemblance, so I reckon
I am going to have to tell y'all to listen to what I mean, not what I say.
Yesterday I made much of stocks' and gold's and silver's failure to rise above
their breakdown points as proof they were in trouble, but today they rose into
those areas. Does that disprove my argument? Not in my view. Markets can ease up
into that area where they broke down, and still follow through downside. They
can even keep on rising above the breakdown, and leave behind a deadly double
top, an even surer sign that they will drop more. Okay, so interpreting a chart
is an art. When I paint y'all a picture, I don't always have time to tell you
how to wash out the brush. Start with stocks. On a five day chart they today
rose through the 12,850 area I mentioned yesterday. Dow added 70.61 points to
close 12,907.94 (0.55%). That's still below the breakdown at 12,950 (exactly),
and might become only a double top by reaching for 13,000. Why would I look for
a double top? Context. Background. This break and recovery is played out against
an aging (since 1 October 2011) rally, that (2) built into a large, VERY bearish
rising wedge. It asketh a whole lot to expect a market that long growing
overbought to extend a rally. Add (3), the Dow today closed below its 20 day
moving average (12,915.74). Any way you cut it, it's over for the Dow for a
while. S&P500 tagged along, rising 0.98% (13.28) to 1,365.91. Y'all watch: truth
is the daughter of time. The US DOLLAR INDEX lengthened its correction by
dropping a meaty 48.5 basis points (0.62%) to 79.227. Dropping below 79.30 was
sloppy, and a low at 79.163 looks positively slovenly. But what is the dollar
trying to protect? Really just that 79.00 psychological support and the 20 DMA
(79.06). It will probably hold and the dollar will resume advancing. What goosed
stocks today and the euro with them? The deadline for the elusive Greek Debt
Deal passed with a "majority" of investors signing on. Thus the world waxes
again optimistic, until the Deal comes unglued again, as 'twill, and soon. Euro
gained 0.92% (big for a currency) to 1.3270. Here's another reason why I
wouldn't trade currencies even with your money, because this reaction is wholly
irrational. BWDIK? Not a single currency in the world is worth backed by as much
as a bus token. The wave of schizo-optimism pushed traders out of the yen today.
It dropped 0.58% to 122.62c/Y100 (Y81.55/US$1). Looks looney. Two gappy

FOMC Keeps Policy Unchanged; Gold is Falling –FOMC Meeting
As expected there werent any major headlines coming out of the recent FOMC
meeting, which was the second Federal Open Market Committee meeting for 2012.
The Fed stated it sees signs of recovery in the U.S. economy in recent month and
thus decided to keep the current plan unchanged including: keeping rates low and
not introducing additional stimulus plans for now. Currently gold price is
tumbling down. The FOMC referred to the progress of the U.S. labor market; the
recent non-farm employment report is backing up this claim. The Fed decided to
continue with its program to extend the average maturity of its holdings of
securities as announced in September, without introducing any additional
stimulus plans. The U.S. inflation slightly rose last month to an annual rate of
2.3% (for the core CPI). This isnt something that should bother the FOMC for the
time being. The FOMC will maintain its pledge of keeping the low interest rates
at 0 to 0.25% at least until late 2014. This news may drag down bullion prices
and also further strengthen the U.S dollar. Following the release of this
statement and the recent update on the rally in U.S retail sales during last
