Double bottom? Extended trading range? Pain in the Posterior Pattern? Some of all of the above. For all intents and purposes nothing is decided in stocks. This week’s hammering throws in doubt everything in May, if not April also. You will remember our comments that it was a situation to dip a toe into. Hopefully the piranhas don’t get the toe.

Another analysis of gold rewarded. Breakout gap identified. Watch out for $2000 gold.We are thinking of published a daily letter in the metals. Drop us an email if interested.

Maybe selling some euro weak notes or stocks. Email us if you have an inspiration.
