Gold - Technical analysis 5th Jan





We had mentioned Gold would rise higher in our last post a month earlier. Gold was trading at 770 levels when the post came. Ever since the post, gold has risen and gone all over the place giving a return in the range of 15 - 20% last month. This is my opinion is the way the gold will shape in this New Year. Gold and silver would outperform, I would keenly bet on silver, as we go ahead this year.



The technical on the longer term chart are very bullish and remain so. From a shorter term perspective i.e. using the daily charts gold seem to be making a rather quizzical expanding bias. It’s cheeky because in this monetary and investment climate, I would not expect this. This simply means there are still lots of non-believers. Non-believers who are shorting gold and probably every rise and they have probably kept the advances in check.



Expanding bias though bearish in all aspects, can be very bullish or more precisely tear-apart bullish if it breaks on the upside. No surprises where I would be betting. The channel is still largely maintained and some expanding bias could be momentary too. Nevertheless, Gold and Silver would be the investment of the year.

Cognitive rules of business presentations

In his recent book, Clear and to the Point, Kosslyn explained that the four rules of PowerPoint are: The Goldilocks Rule, The Rudolph Rule, The Rule of Four, and the Birds of a Feather Rule. Here's how they work. The Goldilocks Rule refers to presenting the "just right" amount of data. Never include more information than your audience needs in a visual image. As an example, Kosslyn showed two graphs of real estate prices over time. One included ten different numbers, one for each year. The other included two numbers: a peak price, and the current price. For the purposes of a presentation about today's prices relative to peak price, those numbers were the only ones necessary. The Rudolph Rule refers to simple ways you can make information stand out and guide your audience to important details -- the way Rudolph the reindeer's red nose stood out from the other reindeers' and led them. If you're presenting a piece of relevant data in a list, why not mak...

Value of dollar - Part 1

A Simple Perspective Will Do The date is 2000-05-28. Don't you get tired of all the bad news bears reminding you of all these instabilities, excesses, and 'potential' tensions in the global economy? After all, hasn't it always been like that? Yes it has, but not in money it hasn't. Increasingly, investors find it harder to know where to put their savings. What about Government Bonds? Wrong. Their recent record of capital losses have wiped out your guaranteed yields, probably because the stock market keeps crowding them out, and this even in a strong dollar and low inflation environment. Furthermore, there is no reliable liquidity and potentially poor quality debt in the corporate sector. Foreign assets? Wrong. Most of the world's economies are riskier, have been under performing, and also, there is this thing called currency risk. Like how is the average person gonna cope with currency...

Depreciation of British Pound 1900-2000

When the Bank of England was formed the powers to create money was finally transferred to private hands. The creation of Fed in US, was just a part of this cycle. Though it is a common knowledge US Dollar has depreciated nearly 100% since the creation of Federal Reserve, the same is the case of all the currencies across the globe. For example, below is the UK Parliament data that highlights the depreciating value of Pound.
