Global Precious Metals Market Dirty Tricks for Beginners / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: MoneyMetals
Although precious metals are still relatively under-owned and unloved, retail investors have been pouring into the metals markets since early last year.
Lots of newer investors have high hopes about where prices are headed in the near term. Even seasoned metals investors are optimistic about the current set-up for higher prices.
The difference is that seasoned investors also know they may not get what they expect.
When it comes to the metals markets, fundamentals don’t always matter in the short run. Successful bullion investing is about persevering when the market does the opposite of what you anticipate, and that happens a lot.

What Does November Hold for the Gold Miners? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: P_Radomski_CFA
As a new month begins, the downtrend in the GDX and GDXJ should resume. When will a new buying opportunity finally present itself?
Let’s compare the behavior of the GDX ETF and the GDXJ ETF. Regarding the former, the GDX ETF reversed sharply after reaching its 200-day moving average and a confluence of bearish indicators signaled a similar outcome. For context, I wrote on Oct. 25:
Small breakout mirrors what we witnessed during the senior miners’ downtrend in late 2020/early 2021. Moreover, when the GDX ETF’s RSI (Relative Strength Index) approached 70 (overbought conditions) back then, the highs were in (or near) and sharp reversals followed.
Furthermore, after a sharp intraday reversal materialized on Oct. 22, the about-face is similar to the major reversal that we witnessed in early August. On top of that, with the GDX ETF’s stochastic indicator also screaming overbought conditions, the senior miners are likely to move lower sooner rather than later.

Artificial Intelligence Could Solve This $11 Trillion Problem / Companies / AI
By: Submissions
The $11-trillion healthcare industry is going fully digital, disrupting industry giants & government monopolies, and finally giving the power back to the people.
That means no more googling of symptoms for a panic-driven self-diagnosis… where a spot on the skin can turn into a rare fatal disease, or an upset stomach into Stage IV cancer.
The digital revolution in healthcare is about far more than simply scheduling an appointment with a clinic through an app …
It’s about empowering the individual to take control of their health.
It won’t be Google that leads this revolution. And it most certainly won’t be Cortana or Alexa.

Worried Foreign Central Banks Boost Gold Reserves / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2021
By: MoneyMetals
After sitting on the sidelines for much of last year, central bank appetite for gold has resumed, in part due to inflationary pressures globally along with disruptions in the energy market.
Russia recently reached a milestone record for its gold reserves, now ranking fifth in the world for the size of its holdings.
Russia now holds well over 20% of its reserves in gold! This represents nearly 2,300 tons of gold now held by the totalitarian nation, and that figure is likely to increase substantially in the years ahead.

By: Submissions
The US health and medical insurance industry is a $1.1-trillion maze that is impossible to navigate.And in the bigger scenario of a massive $11-trillion-plus global healthcare industry, America is definitely not first.
Americans are fed up, and a digital revolution that goes way beyond telemedicine is the only thing that will restore control.
Fixing it is a highly disruptive, multi-trillion-dollar opportunity.
Telemedicine, or ‘Telehealth’, will soar from $42 billion in 2018 to $400 billion in 2026.
Healthcare IT alone will be worth $390 billion by 2024.

FANG Stocks FALSE Breakout Before Next Breakdown! / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The FANG stocks collective (10 stocks) broke to new all time highs early September after putting in a higher low mid August. Technically this is a bullish pattern with strong support at 6800. The normal expected behaviour right now would be for the Fangs to bottom right about now before continuing their March to new all time highs as the resolution of what amounts to a 6 months consolidation trading range.

Profit-Taking After Earnings May Send Stock Prices Lower / Stock-Markets / Stock Market 2021
By: Paul_Rejczak
Stocks retraced their short-term decline yesterday, but today we may see a lower opening following the earnings releases. Is this a topping pattern?
The S&P 500 index gained 0.98% on Thursday, Oct. 28, as it retraced its whole Tuesday’s-Wednesday’s decline to the support level of 4,550. It got back to the Tuesday’s record high of 4,598.53 yesterday. The daily close was just 2 points below that level. The stock market is still reacting to quarterly corporate earnings releases. Yesterday we got the releases from AAPL and AMZN, among others. But the first reaction to their numbers was negative. The market seems overbought in the short-term it is most likely fluctuating within a topping pattern.
The nearest important support level is at 4,550, and the next support level is at 4,520-4,525, marked by the previous Wednesday’s daily gap up of 4,520.40-4,524.40. On the other hand, the resistance level is at around 4,600, marked by the new record high. Despite reaching new record highs, the S&P 500 remained below a very steep week-long upward trend line, as we can see on the daily chart (chart by courtesy of http://stockcharts.com):

IM Academy Shares How to Get Started in Cryptocurrency Trading / Currencies / cryptocurrency
By: Sumeet_Manhas
Ever since the birth of Bitcoin in 2008, the excitement surrounding cryptocurrency has steadily reached a fever pitch. Tech tycoon Elon Musk says Bitcoin is his largest holding, and every time he tweets or talks up another coin, it surges to new heights. Open up social media, and you’ll find young traders spouting off about their fattened-up crypto portfolios. The latest rage is NFT’s, or non-fungible tokens, a digital currency that is unique and not interchangeable. There is always something new and developing in the world of cryptocurrency—after all, there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies in existence—so it’s natural to be curious. But where does one start? IM Academy has the answer. IM Academy, which has taught students worldwide, says that it’s seeing a brand-new influx of students enroll into their program explicitly geared toward digital currencies: DCX Academy. DCX Academy is also available as a part of Elite Academy, a group of IM Academy’s popular academies. The dot-com is the destination for students looking to level up their trading strategy. Their courses feature segments, add-ons, and packages that make it easy to get started. Here’s a preview of what students are learning.

Wild Choppy Stock Market Moves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2021
By: Monica_Kingsley
One-sided S&P 500 session, perhaps a bit too much – the bulls are likely to face issues extending gains when VIX is examined. The stock market sentiment remains mixed, and one could easily be pardoned for expecting larger gains on yesterday‘s magnitute of the dollar slump. And long-dated Treasuries barely moved – their daily candle approximates nicely the volatility one as both give the impression of wanting to move a bit higher while their Thursday‘s move was a countertrend one.
Not even value was able to surge past its Wednesday‘s setback, which makes me think the bears can return easily. At the same time, tech stepped into the void, and had a positive day, balancing the dowwnside S&P 500 risks significantly. The very short-term outlook in stocks is unclear, and choppy trading between yesterday‘s highs and 4,550 shouldn‘t be surprising today.
At the same time, precious metals could have had a much stronger day – but the sentiment was risk-off in spite of the tanking dollar and doubted yields as the rising tech and gold at the expense of silver illustrate. Miners recent outperformance was absent just as much as commodities vigor with the exception of copper. And it‘s more celebrations in the red metal following its steep and far reaching correction, that‘s the part of missing ingredients as much as fresh inflation fears (yes, adding to risk-off mood, inflation expectations declined yesterday).

The No.1 Tech Stock For 2022 / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Submissions
The $11.9 trillion global healthcare industry is in the early stages of a massive upheaval.Frustrated by a lack of information and reliability from their current insurers – and utterly confusing billing systems that are nearly impossible to navigate – North Americans have begun taking their healthcare into their own hands...and in a powerful way.
For example...
- A staggering 1.2 billion wellness apps were downloaded to mobile phones in 2020...
- Every day, one billion people turn to Google to inquire about their health concerns...
- Telemedicine soared in popularity, as virtual doctor visits went from being used by 11% of patients in 2019 to 46% of patients in 2020...
- And providers report they are now seeing 50 to 175 times the number of patients via telehealth than they did prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This sudden, significant shift in consumer behavior has already had a dramatic impact on the fortunes of some companies.
