Gold vs. USD: Who will blink first?

October 17, 2019 by Keith Richards 8 Comments

  Todays chart compares gold and the USD. The black line is gold, and the USD is red. Upon a quick glance of the chart, you can easily see that most of the time, gold and the greenback move in opposite directions. That tendency makes gold a hedge against a falling dollar. On occasion, the Read More

Golden days

June 24, 2019 by Keith Richards 8 Comments

I’ve been golds whipping boy for a few years now. And for good reason—the metal had been stuck in a giant consolidation pattern that offered no reason to buy into the metal – beyond short termed trades as it girated up and down in that consolidation. In fact, the long termed chart below was posted Read More

Gold & oil

January 21, 2019 by Keith Richards 10 Comments

I get questions regarding these commodities often enough that I thought I’d present their current technical picture. Here goes:   Gold Gold has a big wall ahead of it before we can say it’s out of the consolidation that it’s been stuck in since 2013. Despite the recent excitement (in December I suggested it would Read More

Gold: hold, fold, or go in bold

December 5, 2018 by Keith Richards 6 Comments

Gold looks to be staging a minor rally. Is it worth a trade? Perhaps. Before analysing the prospects of trading gold – I thought I would re-visit a chart that I have posted before. Red line is the S&P 500, black line is gold.  It’s a correlation study on gold vs. the S&P 500 going Read More

Gold oversold

August 29, 2018 by Keith Richards Leave a Comment

I have presented this gold chart (above) on my blog in the past. In my May 2018 blog, where you can see this same chart, gold had just broken $1300. In the blog I noted that sentiment was setting up for a short rebound – but I did not feel that we would see the Read More

Gold breaks $1300 – a buying opportunity?

May 22, 2018 by Keith Richards Leave a Comment

I will be the first to admit a bad call – readers of this blog know that I noted last summer’s false “sell” Bear-o-meter reading– here. However, I do like to think that most of my observations are reasonably accurate. Remember, my view is not so much about hitting it outta the park, but in Read More

What to hold when stocks fall

April 9, 2018 by Keith Richards 2 Comments

A bear market can be identified by the break in some technical parameters, as I have discussed in my book Sideways (lower lows, lower highs, a break of the 200 day SMA). Adding to the evidence of a break in trend, your analysis may also been aided by observing the negative correlation of some other Read More

Here’s where money is going

January 15, 2018 by Keith Richards 6 Comments

I’ve made no secret of it – we at ValueTrend hold a very strong belief that the market simply CANNOT continue to push high growth stocks up in a straight line. Something has to give sooner or later. Money may rotate out of some of these high flyers into value stocks, and/or overlooked sectors. There Read More

Why you should watch the bond market if you own higher dividend stocks

I did a late night webinar for the Whiterock Shareholders club in BC last night. One question that came up was my outlook on Canadian bonds. The Canadian bond outlook is rather important for investors Read More

Small stocks might be ready for big gains

Recently, the ValueTrend Equity Platform took a position in a small capped ETF. We only took a bit of the position to start with. But we're seeing evidence for adding to this, and other small capped Read More

Short termed timing of the SPX

Some of my long termed readers might recall the "Near termed timing system" I look at for finessing entry/exit points. It's actually fairly reliable in its signals--albeit very, very whippy. Because Read More
