Of Interest to Investors, Survivalists and Others Concerned About Their Economic and Financial Futures

With a focus on the Plutocrats, Goldsmiths, Super-Rich Insiders, and their Allies and what they are conspiratorially doing to manipulate the financial markets, make more profits, rip us off and install a world government under their control

                                                                                                                 

 

By R. D. Bradshaw

 

As is true with many readers of this Goldsmith series, I have struggled trying to make some money in the futures markets and particularly in buying gold and silver.  It was too bad for me but I have had a mind-set of being a long term investor when I enter the futures markets.  This philosophy simply has not worked out for me.  With it, it is usually true that I end up losing money instead of making money. 

 

Knowing how extensively the markets are manipulated and controlled, I have recently adopted the general attitude of market advisor Alex Wallenwein, in his Euro vs. Dollar Gold Monitor newsletter.  He advises his clients to simply stay out of the futures markets.  While I might not follow that track 100% of the time or in all instances, it is a good rule for me to keep in my mindset. 

 

There are many tips which a good trader could give any one of us involved in the futures markets.  After the publication of the Goldsmiths in August 2008 (at Goldseek.com), I received a letter from a man who does some trading in the futures markets. 

 

While I am in no position to evaluate how well this man does in trading in the futures markets, he seemed very informed and wrote as he knew what he was talking about.  He shared with me some of his personal tips on how to survive in that jungle now manipulated and controlled by the plutocratic master manipulators (whom he calls sharks).  His tips are herewith outlined below.

 

Good Tips from a Reader

 

My commodity trading system is based on following the sharks (the people you talk about) as they make the markets go up and down.  I never listen to brokers or analysts. I make my own decisions because I believe that the powers that be cannot completely hide what they do even if you do not know their plans or why they are doing it.  They tip their hand by leaving signals in the charts that have a certain probability of success.

 

“Sometimes you get nailed by having your stops too close but all in all it works in the long run.  You are following them instead of trying to go against them, which, as you said, is market suicide since they are making the markets instead of supply and demand moving them.

 

“That is why moving averages and support and resistance points and broker/dealer recommendations, complicated computerized trading systems, and relatively long-term things like that don’t help much.  Everything happens in a short-term window.  The manipulators tip their hand when they are about to change things for whatever reason (usually never supply and demand).

 

“You have to know how to follow them and turn when they do.  Gold is a perfect example.  There is (sic) tons of advisory stuff out there telling you why gold will go to the moon but if you take that advice and take a long-term position in gold you’ll lose.  The best way to trade gold is to have some under your mattress in case the world goes to pot then trade gold futures up and down according to what the sharks are making it do keeping your stops in the right places.” 

 

In an addendum, he added:  “when the manipulators are crashing a market (or sending it into the stratosphere) you should be going in the direction they're moving it.  If you can't do that you shouldn't be in the market in the first place.  Remember in the futures markets (unlike in the stock market) you make as much money when it's going down as when it's going up. It's a mirror image and the signals work in both directions.

 

“On trading in commodities with limits.  You should avoid those because the sharks can turn on a dime and kill you in an instant.  Not worth the risk.

 

“Trading without using stops is suicide because you can only be 70% sure the sharks are turning a corner.  That other 30% can wipe you out in the blink of an eye if you don't have a stop somewhere.  Anywhere.” 

 

My Comments on this Revealing Letter

 

This informative letter brings out many excellent points.  I will not attempt to address each of them, but there are some which are so good that I am compelled to highlight and comment upon them.  Please understand that the above remarks are made by the man in the context of him being a trader in the futures markets (and not a long term investor). 

 

As discussed in Goldsmiths XXV and XXVII, I have in my present life essentially abandoned trying to do anything to speak of in the futures markets.  My problems heretofore there have been my desire to be an investor—buying and holding for the long run.  The way the futures markets are manipulated and controlled by the manipulators (who are short term traders), I doubt that one can survive in them for the long term. 

 

To survive in the controlled and manipulated futures markets, one must be a trader and an informed trader at that in order to follow the manipulators and do as they do.  Otherwise, you will end up being financially destroyed as this reader observes.

 

Hence, per this man’s words, he makes a good point about the need to be a short term trader instead of a long term investor.  If a person wants to invest in gold, long term, he suggests buying some of it physically and putting it away under a mattress (certainly, for a rainy day). 

 

Then, per this reader’s letter, you can try trading the futures if you know how to follow the work of the manipulators.  Obviously, if you are not in tune with the manipulators, you will lose much if you try to play in their manipulated and controlled futures markets. 

 

This reader recognizes the role and power of the manipulators, called sharks, to control the markets.  Like this man said, he doesn’t try to go against them.  Instead, he tries to read their signs and clues on what they are planning and doing.  He makes these determinations from his study of the charts and patterns of their interventions.  This is an excellent point.  I noted it somewhat earlier in various Goldsmiths articles in mentioning the intra day charts which reveal the work of the manipulators to enter the markets and make an item go up or down. 

 

The man does not listen to brokers and so-called analysts.  This is another good point.  The problem here is that some of them are good; but also some of them are quite bad and sometimes leave the reader either in the wrong direction or confused and uncertain.  It would help if analysts making a bad call would have the guts and integrity to stand up and admit their mistake.  Instead, they try to gloss over it and leave their followers wondering what went wrong. 

 

Too, they are notorious about plagiarizing and stealing ideas from others without giving credit (many of them are simply not original with their recommendations and advice).  This is not right.  In my production of the Goldsmiths articles in 2008, I was amazed how often my words, ideas, thinking, etc would later crop up in the writings of some of the so-called market analysts without any mention of credit or source.  By the way, it has to be true that any so-called market analyst having to steal ideas and thinking from others is pretty limited in his own thinking, IQ and words. 

 

The reader’s point on the stops is good.  With my investor mentality, I generally have tended to avoid using stops because the manipulators follow the status of bids and offers and make the markets move up or down a few ticks whenever they want to take out stops. 

 

When trying to be a long term player, I found that inevitably the manipulators would take out my stops (and I would lose my long term investments at the blink of an eye).  Obviously, as this man notes, the only way to be in the futures markets is as a trader—monitoring the moves of the manipulators and trading up and down with them to make profits as they make profits. 

 

The market manipulators/sharks especially find it easy to take out tight stops.  But as he suggests, trading without stops is suicide.  So maybe the solution might be to be careful on where to place the stops—that is if you are playing the market for the short term and not for the long term. 

 

Consequently, as the reader noted to me in his letter, if you want to be a long term investor, it’s better to completely stay out of the markets.  If you want to own some gold or silver, then, as this man said, buy some of it physically and put it under your mattress (or some other suitable, secure, hiding place). 

 

I have already commented in earlier Goldsmith articles (particularly in Goldsmiths, Part XIX) on the problem with so-called technical analyses.  These tools are much like statistics.  The user can make them say about whatever he wants them to say.  There are so many different analyses and they actually become quite irrelevant when the manipulators enter the market to move an item. 

 

This matter of technical analysis and their uses by certain market analysts and brokers are very pertinent to address.  There are a host of brokers and analysts out in the market place trying to obtain customers. 

 

Inevitably, most of these people have their own particular analysis or slant on the market and like to pretend that their approach is somehow unique and more correct than their competitors (the reason is because they are trying to find customers to buy their particular slant or approach). 

 

Or alternatively, as noted above, some of the so-called market analysts plagiarize and steal the ideas and thinking of others and put them out as their own ideas and thinking.  Of course, in a manipulated and controlled market, all such analyses become irrelevant anyway. 

 

There is a final point here that needs mention. But I have learned this the hard way through experience.  When the manipulators are crashing a market, a so-called long term player must either stay out of the manipulated markets or get out as fast as possible. 

 

It’s better to be sitting on the sidelines watching them than to have a bunch of contracts going down, down and down.  It makes sense that one must wait on the sidelines until he has some confidence that an item has bottomed before jumping back into it and losing more money.  Perhaps the best approach is to generally follow the thinking of market advisor Alex Wallenwein and simply stay out of the futures markets.  Long term players will lose their shirts. 

 

But as the above letter notes for a trader in the market, it’s better to follow the manipulators up and down and take profits and gains whenever they do.  In order to successfully survive in the futures markets (yes, as a trader), one must be able to read, interpret and understand the moves being made by the manipulators.  If you can’t follow them up and down, as they swindle and cheat the public, it is better to completely stay out of the futures markets.
