The Commentary:
“U.S. Stock Market – While I don’t believe I could be any clearer on my outlook, some people still don’t seem to grasp my view (their constant emails suggest this). While there shall be rallies and sell-offs, it’s my belief that the U.S. stock market will go nowhere fast and end up like the Japanese market did from 1989 on. That’s why I haven’t shorted the market despite signaling the end of the counter-trend major rally. It’s just mainly an avoid as far as I’m concerned until further notice.
U.S. Bonds -I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole
Gold – I couldn’t agree more with this article that this BIS news is actually tremendously bullish. Gold is indeed the most valuable asset over paper. As noted previously, the $1,185 was the downside risk and we traded there twice and held. While we’re not out of the woods yet as the summer doldrums continue for several more weeks, the constant chatter gold is dead once again has allowed for a pause that refreshes…”- Peter Grandich, Grandich Letter
