....Note the blue arrow. This is the path the DOW might have taken absent GW2 (depressed at start of year) and military-deficit spending (artificially inflated now). Below is another look at the HUI under c2v symmetry scrutiny. Many individual PM stocks exhibit a c2v formation right now.

David Smith in the Times comedy section, fresh from the Labour party conference with new insider info, has some horrific news for home-owners.

He talks about our property market being under-taxed compared to Europe. Are we going to see... 1) Stamp duty is going up (a given) 2) CGT payable on sale of main residence? 3) Local property and/or income tax to replace council tax? 4) VAT on new homes? 5) Land tax? 6) Window tax?

September 30, 2003 Paying the Piper "It was easy to see yesterday that gold’s battle line was at $385. This is the level at which major shorts are forced to cover by their investment firms. It simply works that way. Losses at all departments have unique stops. The gold stop is the capital required to maintain the position. So everyone including the Gold Cartel of Common Interest runs into limitations no matter how strong their conviction." Thursday 25th September was the TIC in the 8 week gold cycle (actually 4 months end-to-end). My WA says $420+ in Jan, £360 in Nov. However, that analysis only holds true if the cycle persists. From what Jim is saying it might be all over any day now. Maybe we will see that 275/380 HUI before 2004 after all, no? Companies Kept Cutting Jobs in September: U.S. Economy Preview Job losses now at Great Depression levels Irwin Stelzer in the Sunday Times comedy section sees the bind the US is in - Threatened by dollar repatriation and oil price action by OPEC. What is he suggesting? That the US add the Saudi Oil fields to their war booty? Even he more or less admits that this would be tantamount to launching a live world war (III or IV depending on whether you count the Cold War). The US is a cornered rat. Beware. Meanwhile David Smith takes half a page to explain that GDP figures are fiddled. I could have put it more succintly.... These days 'hedonic' (or should that be hedonistic?)

THE GOLD & SILVER TRAIN WRECK - RISING SUN MAY SINK U.S. That Post-Post-Friday Feeling The Gold and Silver markets were subjected to an all-out assault by the 'Cabal' after peaking during Sept 25th. Those of us who believe that the present monetary system is counterfeit, current debt levels unsustainable and irredeemable, and as a consequence put our faith in alternative savings and investment vehicles, which are - precious metals, the shares of these companies, and any other bets against the dollar and sterling holding present value - have emerged bloody but unbowed. Certain truths remain - FTSE has not been able to break out of its pyramidal envelope now dropping below 4400 - it looks like the DOW might have broken from the storm triangle to the downside, and gold and silver are still near recent highs. Perhaps Thursday lunchtime was the peak of the 4 month gold cycle. If so, gold could drift back to around 360 by the end of November. But new highs loom without a doubt IMO. By January end 2004 Gold WILL be over $420. By May end 2004 I expect $500 to be assaulted if not breached. Nearer the time I will give a more precise target time/price. If Gold does fall to $360 - or even $370 - I will be buying futures with both hands! Meanwhile the prospects for silver (now, as predicted, over $5) are simply mindboggling (See Charticles below - Silver Lining, Triggeronometry). If you want some in reasonable quantity, try our silver in store facility (click top right silver bar). Though UK customers cannot (technically) buy 'allocated' silver without paying VAT up-front, this may not be true for overseas customers. US readers might find a UK silver store very interesting.... That Friday Feeling (26th Sept 2003) The Gold and Silver markets were subjected to an all-out assault by the 'Cabal' yesterday.

Why is the dollar falling? Asia to start pulling out of US debt-financing Dollar sell off defies Japan's warning Recent classic quotes from Kenneth Rogoff, a former Harvard professor now an economic counselor of the IMF. “For the moment, most Europeans who want to see an economic recovery will have to watch it on TV,” said Rogoff whose insightful commentary rings equally as true in the United States." and “It is bad enough that the global economy is flying on one engine, but it’s going to be a lot worse if it has to land on one wheel.” And you thought K-waves were long? Check out the Holistic News Agency for the big picture. "If we were looking at a poor developing country, the world gives them just enough rope to hang themselves. A country like the United States, they give them enough rope to tie the noose around their neck several times. But it does happen in the end..." MF warns trade gap could bring down dollar 'The report was highly critical of Europe's stagnating economies, blaming governments for failing to embrace deep structural reforms of their labour markets and welfare states. "Reforms to improve the competitiveness of European labour and product markets could yield significant dividends in terms of regional output," the report said. It also warned that an overrigid application of Europe's fiscal rulebook could push the eurozone deeper into trouble. Chancellor Gordon Brown echoed the IMF's criticisms of the eurozone in an article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal, arguing that the credibility of Europe was at stake. Demanding wide-ranging change to policies "that have held back our continent for too long", Mr Brown added: "Reform is not just desirable, it is an urgent necessity." The chancellor said: "Having created a single market in theory, we should make it work in reality - and help it spread competition, cut prices, increase consumer choice and deliver higher productivity." RODIN says: The Guardian fails to mention that Gordon Brown is a staunch supporter of gargantuan public services, a sector that produces nothing and is structurally anti-competitive and self-serving. Notwithstanding the many dedicated people who on a personal level deliver more than is asked of them in service.

MNMM.OB - one of my favourites - up 70% in 3 days! MNMM.OB has hit new resistance. No doubt it is going much higher in time. Right now, though, I want to catch other rising stars so sold 50% of my position at $3.50 Will buy back @ $2.25 in 3 month's time. Vista Gold used to trade 100 times over it's present price. A junior, like DROOY, and also in common with a few micros listed below, it has been lagging other gold and silver stocks. Today on the Forum Hook advised that it had a little further to fall before it becomes a buying opportunity. I do not think so. No time for TA tonight but looking at the long-term chart VGZ looks poised to double and more in short order. I doubled my holding today. We will see. I also liked the look of GSPG.OB enough to rotate into this stock RODIN's wave and symmetry analyses have successfully predicted big rises in the HUI Gold BUGS Index (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) and several individual PM stocks. (See CHARTICLES below). Not to mention the POS and POG. I got the date and level of the last gold low spot-on. Read thru Charticles to see where we are coming from. The SMs have not crashed yet, but I think such an event is imminent. (Update -maybe happening now?) Meanwhile wave analysis of the 4 month cycle clearly predicts that Gold will rise to $395 by September end. (Update $390 now) Also wave analysis of the HUI now predicts 275/380, though resistance at about 220 might hold if there is a total SM crash before the up-move is completed. Now, 275/380 HUI and $395 gold appear to be incompatible. Actually, even the present valuation of Gold stocks is reckoned to be based on $400 gold. Possible scenarios 1) There may shortly be a disconnect between silver and gold, in which silver moves up sharply while gold does not. This could happen because of a short squeeze on COMEX. 2) The 4 month Gold cycle - which Falcor III called the Tic Toc cycle in a memorable chart posted in the Gold Eagle forum - may be broken, as suggested by Jim Sinclair. 3) Faith could suddenly be restored in the hyper-inflating US dollar, the dollar being the common share of the technically bankrupt USA. Unbeknown to the general public a lawsuit is proceeding through the courts in America. It could have, along with other factors, a dramatic impact on the gold market.
