The rush one gets when trying to pick a major top or bottom is exciting, and that&#39;s what makes it so addictive and irresistible. If you have ever nailed a market top or bottom, then you know just how much money can be made.

<![CDATA[The way to trade gold and other precious metals-related investments is not that complex, but you must be willing to wait for price to provide low risk entry points before getting involved. Precious metals are like any other investment with regards to trading and investing: there are times to be long, times to be in cash, and times to be short (benefit from falling prices).

Since 2011 when gold and silver started another major bull market correction, the best position has been to move to cash, or sell/write options against your positions to protect your investment until the next trend ]]>

The good news is that there is a simple trading model that removes 95% of trading analysis and greatly reduces trading-related emotions.

<![CDATA[Silver and silver mining stocks are front and center for investors and active traders. Because of silver&#39;s high volatility (large price swings) it naturally attracts a lot of attention.

First you have seasoned investors who are waiting for the right opportunity to get long or short for the next move.  Then you have the active traders playing the day to day price swings. Finally you get the gamblers who are salivating over the potential to double their accounts and are riding the commodity on pure emotions (fear and greed).

<![CDATA[Over the past year my long term trends and outlooks have not changed for gold, oil, or the S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX), though there has been a lot of sideways price action to keep everyone one their toes and focused on the short term charts.

We all know that if the market does not shake you out, it will wait you out, and sometimes it will even do both at the same time. So stepping back to review the bigger picture each week is crucial in keeping a level trading/investing strategy in motion.

<![CDATA[This week I talked about how the uptrend is to be the focus of trading positions until a downtrend is actually confirmed via price and volume action. The S&P 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) was very close to reversing down this week, but the POMO&#39;s (Permanent Open Market Operations) scheduled largest injection of money for February of over $5 billion sent stocks soaring, jamming them back up into their uptrend.

<![CDATA[Today&#39;s gap higher in stocks has many investors feeling really good, but will this rally last?

My to-the-point answer is yes, but there will be some bumps and the need to navigate positions along the way.

Looking at the charts below you will notice how stocks are trading up over 4% in two trading sessions, and several indicators and technical resistance levels are now being tested. Naturally when there are several resistance levels across multiple time frames, cycles, and indicators we must be open to the idea that stocks could pause or pull back for a few days before continuing ]]>

<![CDATA[With 2012 now behind us, it&#39;s time to start looking for some new long-term investments that have big potential gains in the new year. Copper is one metal that has caught my eye.

Last year, copper traded sideways in a narrowing range. This type of price action tends to bore traders and investors forcing them to look elsewhere for new to trades.

<![CDATA[We all want new and exciting electronic gizmos and gadgets for the holiday season. Unfortunately they have the tendency to lose almost all their value within weeks. But what if you just got a lump of dirty old coal in your stocking?

The only individuals who would appreciate a gift like coal would be those forward-looking investors who see major opportunities before they become the next big movers and headline news.

<![CDATA[Oil and gas along with their equities have been underperforming for the most part of 2012 and they are still under heavy selling pressure.

I watch the oil futures chart very closely for price and volume action, and the one thing that is clear for oil is that big sellers are still unloading copious amounts of contracts; this is keeping the price from moving higher.
