Third Time Lucky for the Technicals?
In May of 2010, immediately following the flash crash many investors started to become bearish (nervous) regarding their position in gold and equities. Once the general public became aware that the stock market could fall 10% in a matter of minutes, investors became very cautious. Suddenly protecting their capital and current positions was at the forefront of their investment process.

Technical Take: S&P 500 Is Getting Close To A Top
The past few months have been very difficult to navigate for retail investors and institutional money managers. The huge week to week price swings and increased volatility have made the current market conditions exceptionally difficult to maneuver. Day traders are about the only group of market participants that outperform during periods such as we have seen since the beginning of August.

The Next Shoes to Drop
The US economy is in a recession that will probably extend into next year. This may not be cause for concern, because the stock market might already have priced-in the sort of earnings decline that recessions bring about. The reason to be concerned about downside risk in the stock market is that the recession is not widely recognized, and most analysts are still projecting growth in earnings over the next 12 months.

By the Numbers for the Week Ending October 14
Brief comments: Both gold and silver advanced for the week in USD terms, but gold declined in euro terms on a sharply stronger single currency. Note that even after a 201-basis point drop for the DXY Tues/Tues (to 77.58) ICE commercial traders kept the downward pressure on the greenback index by adding another 3,662 contracts net short the DXY. 53,000 + contracts net short is a very large stand and represents 76% of the open interest. The “ICE coms” were rewarded with another 96-ticks lower by Friday’s close to 76.62 – a major reversal for the USD. Minor negative money flow for the largest gold and silver ETFs, barely worth mentioning.
