Stocks And Precious Metals Charts - The Dollar Bounced Up

Stocks rallied today as gold and silver prices showed resilience, bouncing back despite Comex futures expiration pressure. The U.S. Dollar edged higher while an elevated VIX signals continued volatility in the global markets.

A low cost S&P stock index fund seems to be a decent place for investment over a LONG TERM 20+years time horizon.  It has some drawbacks, especially over shorter time horizons. 

Every investment contains some element of risk.  And when considering risk, there is power in having a diversified portfolio of investments.  How to achieve diversification suited for one's needs is a fit subject to discuss with a professional, with the understanding that not all 'professionals' are equally competent and fiduciary.

As Walter Bagehot said, 'Life is a school of probabilities.'  

Yo, sound the bell, school's in.  Can't touch this. 

Stocks managed to rally back today, as I suggested might happen.

Bessent can't have his Prince delivering the State of the Union address tonight without bragging rights on the Dow.   Even Hot Lips Leavitt couldn't put a positive spin on a market slump.  She'll most likely get some practice with this as the year moves along. 

Gold and silver also gave it up early as expected, it being a Comex futures March contract option expiration and all.  But they bounced back nicely which is something a little new.

VIX is holding a littler higher these days, skipping along on the EMA 20.

The Dollar bounced up just a little. 

So let's see what Donald says to further baffle the world tonight.  

Have a pleasant evening.
