Remember all those talking heads that were telling us of the eminent Dollar collapse and that's why gold would take off? Well guess what? They were all wrong and it cost holders of gold, silver and the metal stocks a good chunk of money. Did any of them say sorry, I was wrong? Of course not, not a chance. The best you can do now by avoiding future losses is, just stop listening to them.

Aside from minor ups and downs within primary uptrends, the Dollar and more than likely the stock market, if you can pick the right ones, it's really the only general positive big plays in motion. Shorting is not my game but the items in bear trends would certainly qualify for some shorting or buying puts on strength. Was GoldCorp a candidate on its most recent strength for this, it was. But Chuck Jeannes took the oppposite view that was published major Canadian papers. Sometimes one must wonder about the selection of what the papers call news for them to print it.

One interesting thought for some deep thinking is why doesn't the U.S. media give air time or paper space to Martin Armstrong who has an extremely high batting average for calling markets correctly? IMO, it's an easy conclusion, Armstrong calls the banks what they are and what they do to their own customer orders and it's not really nice. The banks, basically control it all. They control the media, Congress and the Fed and so on.

Do yourself and your famiiy a favor, start following Armstrong and increase your knowledge.

Listening to a hoard of CEO's in the past few weeks tell their hyped stories in the media that'll be SO GOOD for the shareholders in their precious metal companies really stinks, IMO, at this point in time. Yes, Chuckie was one of them, again.

CEO's should know mining but experts on markets, they are not. They pretend in an attempt to short term manipulate their prices. Do you think Chuckie has an agenda to keep his share price up while voting on his proposed takeover of Probe Mines is in process? You bet he does.

Anyway learn from Armstrong where the dollar is headed, about when and where gold will bottom and where the stock market may eventually hit. His thoughts are something you would never find in a college text or learn about or see on TV in this country but there are interviews of him available on the Internet. Welcome to the greatest learning experience out there. And, hopefully, I have helped you.
