  1. Gold is moving against a traditional inverse relationship with gold and the Dollar/EUR showing their strongest correlation in 14 months.

    In the current EU environment, both gold and the dollar are seen as safe havens. It does look like a bubble but, as we know, bubbles can go on far longer than what people think. EVERY strategist is recommending long gold now.

    A short position here is probably a good idea but be prepared for margin calls between now and when you finally make some money.

    It does not trade on fundamentals, only psychology.

  2. “What what what…what what…what what what…what what!” – N.O.R.E.

    Good morning, sir. It’s a pleasure to have you back. I think 66% of us feel that way.

    Tag team back again…whoop there it is!

  3. OK — this spreadsheet is making me angry. Cut the wages 20% and tell us not to work 1 day a week…. but expect us to still provide the same level of services. Take the ‘furlough’ a different day because we need to maintain the appearance of pulling a rabbit out of the hat! Grrrr.

    Kübler-Ross model
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kübler-Ross_model

    The progression of states is:[2]

    Denial – “I feel fine.”; “This can’t be happening, not to me.”
    Denial is usually only a temporary defense for the individual. This feeling is generally replaced with heightened awareness of situations and individuals that will be left behind after death.

    Anger – “Why me? It’s not fair!”; “How can this happen to me?”; “Who is to blame?”
    Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue. Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy. Any individual that symbolizes life or energy is subject to projected resentment and jealousy.

    Bargaining – “Just let me live to see my children graduate.”; “I’ll do anything for a few more years.”; “I will give my life savings if…”
    The third stage involves the hope that the individual can somehow postpone or delay death. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made with a higher power in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. Psychologically, the individual is saying, “I understand I will die, but if I could just have more time…”

    Depression – “I’m so sad, why bother with anything?”; “I’m going to die… What’s the point?”; “I miss my loved one, why go on?”
    During the fourth stage, the dying person begins to understand the certainty of death. Because of this, the individual may become silent, refuse visitors and spend much of the time crying and grieving. This process allows the dying person to disconnect oneself from things of love and affection. It is not recommended to attempt to cheer up an individual who is in this stage. It is an important time for grieving that must be processed.

    Acceptance – “It’s going to be okay.”; “I can’t fight it, I may as well prepare for it.”
    This final stage comes with peace and understanding of the death that is approaching. Generally, the person in the fifth stage will want to be left alone. Additionally, feelings and physical pain may be non-existent. This stage has also been described as the end of the dying struggle.
