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.

Net Neutrality - Fight for free expression

The "Net neutrality" issue, where we fear networks/infrastructure providers will decide (euphemism for censorship) what customers will read/watch/listen/buy on net. Many of the features that we fear in the "Net-neutrality" have already been implemented across various other platforms like telecom. For example, my telecom service provider has blocked the competitors GPRS sites and also does not allow access to many other sites on Internet, from where the free goodies like mobile applications, software, games, wallpapers, tones etc can be downloaded. This leaves me with the only service provider for above products, the service provider himself. This is totally blocking my freedom and my right to choose. This is just a glimpse; with "Net-neutrality" issues at stake are enormous. There should be no way; any entity (maybe, other than individual governments.) should be able to determine what is accessible and what is not. :) Falkor

Definition of Cult Stocks

From a blog: A classification describing stocks that have a sizable investor following, despite the fact that the underlying company has somewhat insignificant fundamentals. Typically, investors are initially attracted to the company's potential and accumulate positions in speculation that its potential will be fulfilled, providing the investors with a substantial payout. While most of these cult stocks promise they will be the next big story after they make a new discovery or get the newest contract from the government, most do not provide investors with anything other than the story. Furthermore, these stocks typically generate very little, if any, revenue at all. For example, many micro-cap biotech stocks are cult stocks. While they promise that they are going to be working on a miracle compound or drug, most of them do not have any source of income as they slowly burn away their initial capital in research and development. However, some cult stocks do occasionally make good on...
