Just a couple charts on a Sunday night . . .

First is gold, weekly.

Courtesy of stockcharts.com
Perhaps a break of the uptrend, but really makes most sense in the context of the next one.

Next is the weekly of the USD.

Courtesy of stockcharts.com
Definitely a "major pause" in the downtrend, if not an out and out break.

Is the gold up, dollar down move done? Or just paused?

New Jefferson Nickel

I like money. As such, I've been kind of a on again, off again coin collector over the years. In general, I think a lot of US coins are not the most appealing. The new nickel is an exception. It caught my eye right away--I thought I had gotten some european coin by mistake.





Keep an eye out for it.

Back Online

Just getting my act back together after a hard drive crash and other "issues."

Going over a few charts, which I haven't had time to post yet, I'm struck by a couple things--

Most everything is rangebound, EXCEPT for the USD, which is on quite a little tear, AND
Interest rates are falling also.

I'm going to be meditating on that tonight.

See you tomorrow.
