There seems to be a new gold Index in the works that may just be the most important Index for speculators in the small stuff, you know, those small exploration type of “penny” stocks that could zoom 2, 3, 4 times in price in a few short...
The Merv’s FAN Principle is working as expected as mentioned in my last post (17 Feb 2017). Gold seems set for another thrust However, the only difficulty is in guessing which way that thrust will go. I guess we’ll just have to go...
Short-term it’s looking like a top. The start of a decelerating FAN pattern suggests a deceasing strength in the latest action. My short-term momentum indicator is also suggesting a decreasing momentum in the price movement. Stay with...

Gold plunged through support a few weeks ago…followed by a basic lateral move. Speculators are now waiting for the next move, but which way? Here again we have to go to our technical picture to see what the odds are one way or the other.
Three months and what do we have but a steady slightly negative drift in the price of gold. However, nothing lasts forever…so we just might see some volatile action soon. What will precipitate it? Who knows? And in what direction will...
