Energy Market Review
Gary,
I watch your videos all the time, although I often don't understand the terminology you use (ie. daily and intermediate cycle low, left and right translation, etc.) All I know is that your warnings are often very prescient, especially when it comes to gold.
Are there any books you would recommend for learning about cycles analysis?
BTW, you should sell an online course about this topic. I'm sure many people would be interested.
Thank you,
Louis
What Are Probabilistic Models Saying About The Stock Market?
Your videos always help me control my emotions. I've even started taking the candlesticks out of my charts and setting them to Invisible. It really does help to better examine the overall trend and take out some of the "freak out" factor with just a few MA's.

Natural Gas Probably Gaps Up Sunday Night
I wasn't sure how a "sell the news" event might pan out in a situation like this, so I picked up some conservative call spreads on UNG last week in order to profit from a move up. Seemed like a good R/R entry without having to take a lot of risk holding over the weekend.
S&P 500 Snapshot: A Gain Of About Half Of The Rate-Hike Selloff
I know everyone is expecting an imminent pullback, but it looks like an inverted head and shoulders forming. It would not surprise me to see this market grind up even higher as people desperately wait for a substantial pullback--thinking it's coming any day now.
Amazon Says Prime Video Now Available In Over 200 Countries Around The World
I enjoy streaming movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime. I just wish the Fire TV wasn't such a horrible streaming device. Hopefully they will improve these in the neat future so that their performance is on par with Roku, Apple TV, etc.
Intuition In Trading And Investing: Can You Trust It?
Interesting article. I have had intuitive insights from dreams, although not regarding trading/investing. I think the subconscious mind is capable of solving a lot of problems during sleep. Keeping a dream journal next to the bed has been one of the most important things for me.
What To Buy After The US Fed’s Rate Hike Decision?
As Elliott said, “At best, news is the tardy recognition of forces that have already been at work for some time and is startling only to those unaware of the trend.”
US Dollar Breaks Out To A New Bull Market
I'm no expert on Elliot waves, but it looks to be a throwover as an e-wave. I just wonder how much it will overshoot before it begins to come down. It has gone much higher than I ever thought it would.
