Stock Market and the monkey business..............
the villagers that he would buy monkeys for Rs 10. The
villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around,went out to the forest and started catching
them..
The man bought thousands at Rs 10 and as supply started
to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.
He further announced that he would now buy at
Rs20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and
they started catching monkeys again.
Soon the supply diminished even further and people started
going back to their farms.
The offer rate increased to Rs 25 and the supply of
monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even
see a monkey, let alone catch it!
The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs
50!
However, since he had to go to the city on some business,
his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.
In the absence of the man, the assistant told the
villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the
man has collected. I will sell them to you at Rs
35 and when the man returns from the city, you can
sell it to him for Rs 50.
" The villagers squeezed up with all their savings and bought
all the monkeys.
Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only
monkeys everywhere!

Gold and Silver: A Great Day to be a Bear
Gold and Silver: A Great Day to be a Bear
Elliott wave analysis is the blade-proof glove with which "to catch a falling knife"
By Elliott Wave International
In the wee morning hours before dawn on Thursday, June 20, the precious metals' rooster crowed, "Cock-a-doodle-DOH!"
It was the ultimate wake-up call:
First, gold prices plummeted 4% then 5% then 6% below $1300 per ounce to their lowest level in nearly three years. Soon, silver followed in an even steeper drop below $20.
At 6:45 am, one popular news outlet went live on the scene and wrote: "It's a bloodbath at the moment with most technical support levels being broken ... calling a bottom would be like trying to catch a falling knife." (Marketwatch)
As for what triggered said knife to fall, you ask?
Well, according to the usual experts and every mainstream news outlet under the sun, the gold and silver bottom fell out after investors digested stimulus-tapering comments from the June 18-19 Federal Open Market Committee minutes.
Upon closer examination, though, there are several problems with this notion:
- Fears of the Fed starting to twist shut its QE tap are anything but new. Gold and silver investors have had months to digest this potentiality.
- Not to mention the fact that the June 19 minutes made no direct mention of actually stopping its bond-buying program. FED Chairman Ben Bernanke was hypothetical at best, saying, "IF the incoming data are broadly consistent with ... and remain broadly aligned with our current expectations ... it would be appropriate to moderate the monthly pace of purchases later this year."
That's hardly a cease-and-desist order.
- And, last, gold and silver prices did not fall immediately after the FOMC minutes were released. In fact, they rose. Headline: "Gold Prices Show Muted Reaction To Upbeat Fed" (Mining.com)
In plain terms: Gold and silver's June 20 thrashing was not a news-driven move.
That leaves this explanation: The gold/silver sell-off was the most probable scenario as outlined by the Elliott wave playbook. In this case, that playbook is EWI's Short Term Update.
In the June 17 Short Term Update -- before the FOMC meeting even got started, mind you -- our analysis set the bearish stage in gold and silver via these charts and analysis:

"[Gold]'s overall trading remains weak. The bounce we noted last evening is over.... A decline through $1373 should indicate that wave __ of __ down is under way. The downside potential indicates at least a sell-off into the $1250-1300 range."

"[Silver] remains weak and prices appear on the verge of declining to new lows beneath $20.07.... Our near-term stance remains bearish."
