Like my whiny children, who after 30 minutes into a 6 hour car drive, investors are asking themselves, “Are we there yet?” After all, the SP500 is down a little over 8% from their highs in the past 3 weeks, and investors want to know if the selling is done and if this is a [...]
In my opinion, this is the best opportunity to buy gold in several years.
Some of the more popular charts across a variety of markets. These are weekly charts. The black and red dots are key pivot points, which represent the best areas of support (buying) and resistance (selling).
