Particularly SPY etf, if it falls on over 420m volume then the ABC down is likely to have started and this could take us well below the Nov 20th numbers.

Currently heading for 804 S&P. If it breaks 810 and close below. Then sell.

Dow in agreement.

NASD not agreeing.

Gold - if it goes above 930 and closes above 920 on Friday, next stop 1000 and then just add zeros.

Probably this will be decided Monday.

I'm not getting into any discussion about this however much you bully, insult, lie about me.

In the space of one day Denninger has gone from expecting a rally to a crash.

Tim Knight is cautious - doesn't want to short the 500 etf, prefers individual stocks at the moment.

January trading has been ... uuuuh ... difficult!

I am intending to buy gold and platinum next week. And if I'm doing it many others will be considering it.

Don't let the bastards grind you down FP, your contribution is much appreciated.

Sold all stocks on friday which i hadnt made a loss on. Couldnt stomach the loss on the others in the hope that I might be wrong about a tremedous crash.

Also expecting a big sell off and new low 7000's on the dow in February.

Good to see you still popping in FP.

Very good to see you back FP. Miss you!

This is the worst world wide financial melt down in our lifetime, and shows every sign of getting much worse. It will affect everyone on the planet, if it has not done so already.

Here is my guess for the next three years:

1. Expect bankrupties of major corporations worldwide to increase, and massive "Quantitative Easing" by goverments worldwide.
2. Deflation is a smokescreen for the greatest inflation in the history of the world, starting very soon! Inflation is already evident in food at your local supermarket.
3. It will not be 150 billion, but 300 billion by the time they realise that the first 150 billion did not work.
4. We have to contend with the fractional reserve system, which means that the banks will lend out not 300 billion, but anything between 1.5 and 3 trillion.
5. By 2010-2011 we will have started on the slippery slope of inflation, and no politician will be able to stop it.
6. In addition, Sterling will probably crash in slow motion- why would any foreign bank or Forex dealer want to hold a currency (the GBP) which pays no interest to speak of, whilst the UK government are inflating the money supply? This will compound the inflation problem.
7. The solution: Buy the unmentionable yellow stuff that most central banks store in their vaults, to preserve their own currency. The banks cannot print more of the yellow metal! This is not to make a speculative killing, but to preserve what you already have.

Please do not take any of the above as financial advice as I am not qualified or authorised to provide financial advice, and am a relative amateur in investment markets. The above reflects my own opinion, and that is all!

My very best wishes to you all.

Just a comment on your chart analysis. The gold stocks/gold oversold ratio could equally be resolved with a gold sell off. I realise that's not your position but it is nevertheless the case, particularly if stocks overall fail at these support levels. I'm watching the HUI and it is still struggling with this 302 resistance area. 3rd or 4th (depending on how you read it) attempt. If it holds above that and it turns into support then I think your call is probably correct. I have to admit I'm less certain, for now at least.

Overall though I think everyone recognises we're at some major suppor/resistance levels again in just about everything.

Edit P.S. Thanks for posting FP. Always interested. Good to see your work up on market oracle as well. I always enjoy Nadeem's analysis.

EDIT: As chance would have it, the S&P has just this second turned positive. :mellow:

SP Volume currently £123m and at 824.

Gold fussing around at 915ish.

Not looking that good perhaps.

I am shorting SP, Gold and Silver for the short term, and have also been shorting oil for a week for what it's worth.

FP - good piece for the Oracle (specifically, the insight into risk-weighting); I'd like to see more of that in your posts here, for whatever that's worth.

Here's more fuel for the fire...
