Ah, now you are giving me homework assignments. Perfect. I appreciate it actually. I will read up on Pring's KST and Special K indicators tonight. Try to learn what they are all about.

I too have my new IRA account set up and funded. My plan today is to wait for now, follow the SOXL:SPXS chart, and invest 80% at the next crossover.

I am intrigued with NUGT. I read about it on blogs and such this past weekend and learned many people are waiting and watching for it to hit bottom and reverse. I am now one of the watchers too. I am leaning towards putting 10% of my available funds on NUGT when it reverses and heads north again, placing a stop loss underneath it as it moves. I will consider this my Mad Money.

I will keep 10% in cash, for now.

By the way, I have helped my two 20 something year old kids (both recently out of college) set up their own ROTH IRA's in the past few weeks. Going to mirror the SOXL:SPXS trades in their accounts, and over the next few months, teach them how to do it themselves.

Even though NUGT made a new low today, it may be far from a bottom.

Here is something I found over the long weekend. It could happen again.

Also, this weekend I was looking for a 'strength of the dollar' indicator, but haven't found a good one yet. Best one i found so far is at the bottom below.

"It ties into dollar action. It ties into perceptions about growth," he says. "There are so many different messages you can blame for the inevitable reversal in these positions. If gold reverses, it will mean that the dollar is topped out."


The dollar may or may not be topping right now, but the elections are still two months away. I'm guessing Trump will work to keep economic indicators from dropping before the next elections.
