Folks, i HAVE BEEN IN THE FINANCIAL MARKETS FOR NEARLY THIRTY YEARS.
What separates Ashraf from EVERYONE ELSE is that he WROTE the book, he didn't just read it. The knowledge of the interdynamics and how everything is dependent on everything else is the key. He has it. Others dont.
In the fairness of full disclosure, I will admit I just loaded up long on Aussie 15 minutes ago at 0.8948, and just dumped for a nice short-term profit bounce. I don't hold items long for long which are in a down-trend. I am glad to leave LOTS of money on the table on a short-covering mindless rally.
I'll make a lot on the way back down, which is where we are heading within 36-hours on trash euro and gbp, overpriced aussie and kiwi and gold.
I am hoping, make that praying, that the RBA comes out yet again and either talks up their overpriced currency nor directly intervenes to prop their currency up.
SNB inetervened on CHF again by selling CHF earlier today, making that the 5th time in five weeks. Hoiw come no one wants a strong currency EXCEPT the country which routinely exceeds its intentionally low-balled economic estimates in the sake of propping their currency higher (Australia)?
@Xaron-at least your buying at these levels and not those just a mere few hours ago after the rba TROTTED OUT THEIR puppet deputy to pimp aussie and risk higher.
I forgot who the WEATHERMAN ANALYST (actually a woman) was who pounded the table during Aussie's "comeback last week on AUDJPY, screaming it was over for the yen as the Japanese demographics were just a bunch of old-geezers putting money in a bank to receive 0.0000000005% on their savings.
I recall her mentioning up to 90 for that pair. We sit at 80.80 currently.
Someone did post it in one of the forums last week after I had seen it.
@chloe-you never know with these commodity-backed currencies. I routinely close "too early", but I have experienced the pain of not also, lol. I keep missing Gold on my closes by $10, yet the PPT, RBA, GOLDman, or Weathermen keep giving us shot after shot. As Ashraf once coined, "the gft which keeps giving..."
I feel honored and graced. Ashraf just had a tweet mentioning the PPT (Plunge Protection Team) seemingly minutes after another tweet mentioning WEAK SHORTS.
I know he won't thank the RBA for trotting out that silly deputiy earlier today to "talk-up" the "strengthening" local currency, instilling confidence in the markets, bringing on that huge surge of risk in early-European trading today.
So I'll do it...thank you, thank you, thank you Mr. Deputy....
This is the last stand to protect gold above 1102/1098. Who will get the honors? The PPT? RBA? GOLD(man)? My money is on the PPT to come in first...
@chloe-sure glad we allfollow Ashraf and not the WEATHERMEN ANALYSTS pounding the table on currency pairs when nthey were 150 pips higher just a few HOURS ago. Now get ready for the WEATHERMEN ANALYSTS to continue telling us which way the wind is blowing us they tell us trash eur/gbp, overpriced aussie, kiwi and gold are heading lower.
Not sure we will go much lower than here in front of Bernanke. Good tme to position square here and not get greedy.
@Pipster-as Ashraf terms the EURUSD pair the "anti-dollar", I have coined those analysts who do nothing more than tell us which way the wind is blowing (which way a currency pair is moving and give us more targets in that direction) the WEATHERMEN ANALYSTS. I ripped it off from an old Bob Dylan song, but it is SO appropriate here. WEstpac are great examples of Weathermen AnLYSTS.
Now ASHRAF IS THE ANTI-WEATHERMAN ANALYST, PROGNOSTICATING beforehand THE INTERMARKET DYNAMICS of FX and economic release relationships.
ashraf is simply and absolutely THE BEST.
He's calling for 1020 on GOLd in 2 weeks. a balsy call. Yet you see WeATHERMEN like XARON calling for 1150 simply and only because the recent price movement of gold has been up.
