While the masses were black-bearish we recently offered several countertrend ideas in expectation of a market bounce.  In the latest issue we review these recent entries, all of which are higher, on average 5% in just 4 days, and raise stop levels to reduce risk. 

Nassim Taleb's comments in this clip that unfortunately "austerity" measures are not just necessary in Greece to balance their budgets. We must all embrace austerity measures in order to stop wasting good money to rescue bad. We have to admit, reconcile and write down to get to the next healthy expansion. The sooner the better.

For years we have said that with the Federal Reserve and the world’s central banks "printing money," and bailing out the banks and big financial institutions as a response to the credit crisis - all that easy money and credit would lead to inflation.

In it we feature several compelling contrarian plays to profit on a possible near-term market rebound.

Glad to see they agree with us, although we advised the same almost 1000 points higher on the Dow. 

Please consider this Market Watch news item, "BP Shares Drop to lowest level since '97, despite some success."

Much has been said in the news about the oil spill, and BP's stock falling because of it, so here we'll just stick to our domain.  We do not concern over "why" stocks move as they do, just where to best get in and when to safely get out. 

In late March we commented in this blog regarding an imminent move in interest rates and the effect this might have on the markets. 

As is plainly evident, the charts and commentary proved very accurate and indeed as we suggested it was not in context with rising rates that the markets fell but rather in tandem with falling interest rates per the ongoing deflation we've been correctly identifying all along, counter to the expectations of mainstream analysts. 

In early January 2010 TREND Technical Trader readers were shown a chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (as tracked by the ETF symbol DIA) and we warned that "while many say the bear market is over, those who reject complacency will notice it remains fully in effect per the indicators we've shown on the DIA weekly chart [in this issue]." 

In early December we wrote a blog titled "US Dollar Due To Rally Imminently" and offered charts showing what we considered to be "obvious speculative trades implied by these charts".  The trendlines we drew proved exact, and UUP is up 16% since then while DRR is up 59%.

In December 2009 and again in March of this year on this blog we posted gold charts & commentary which so far have exactly predicted the path of the price of gold. 

Today we offer updated charts & commentary on gold and silver.
