Tupperware and ATMs – Gold Goes Mainstream

Today's guest post is by Jeff Clark, editor for the gold bugs over at BIG GOLD. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think, has gold gone mainstream? Are we finally going to see the huge move in gold we keep hearing about?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are we there yet? Are we there yet? We gold bugs are like little kids on a trip to the zoo; we just can’t wait to get there. “There” being the elusive point in time when the gold mania (no, make that Gold Mania) hits and everyone and their cat will want to invest in the yellow metal. Which of course will propel its price to dizzying heights. $1,500… $2,000… $5,000 an ounce – the sky’s the limit. At least that’s how the theory goes.

But it’s not just a theory anymore: in the past year, we’ve been seeing unmistakable signs that gold indeed may be going mainstream.

For example, we have always said that when the Mania phase of this gold bull market really got underway, mobs would break down the doors of pawn shops and coin dealers in order to get their fill of the yellow metal. Continue reading "Tupperware and ATMs – Gold Goes Mainstream"

My favorite Indicator for inflation and it's not gold. (New Video)

One of my favorite indicators for large cyclic trends has accurately forecasted every inflationary and deflationary cycle since it was created in 1957.

Watch my February 6th video on this indicator here.

You may want to watch this index carefully should you want to invest in certain stocks and commodity related markets. Over the last half-century, this index has seen some remarkable moves both on the downside and in the last few months on the upside. I believe that this is the indicator that everyone should watch. If you trade stocks or futures and are interested in world trade trends, this is the indicator to track.

Why Do Most Forex Traders Fail: Risk Management

I'd have to say that EVERYTIME Bill Poulos is a guest blogger, he gets almost as many comments and attention as Adam...ALMOST. Today should be no different. I called Bill and asked him to write an article on risk management in Forex. I read the article and it delivers, so you won't be disappointed. This article focuses on the method he uses and he's produced two videos (Flexible Forex Discovery VIDEO ONE.....Flexible Forex in Action VIDEO TWO) so check out the videos, enjoy the article, and let the comments fly as I told him he'll have to teach in the comment section!

=====================

When trading anything, risk management is first and foremost.  Without it you will lose, period.  When trading the Forex markets or any highly leveraged market, you must have a risk management plan that accounts for that leverage.

Forex broker’s are fond of touting the fact that they provide 100:1 or even 400:1 leverage, but the truth is, if a trader ever takes on position sizes that take full or even partial advantage of that leverage, the account will soon be wiped out.  That is because the maximum  % of one’s account size that could be risked on each trade allowed by the broker, would lead to excessively large position sizes and levels of risk far beyond what a good risk management system would allow.
