biiwii.com successfully owned and operated a progressive medical component manufacturing company for 21 years, keeping the company’s fundamentals in alignment with global economic realities through various economic cycles. The natural progression from this experience is an understanding of and appreciation for global macro-economics as it relates to individual markets and sectors. Biiwii.com was created solely as a way to help get the message out about deeply rooted problems with too much debt and leverage within the financial system. Our concerns were confirmed and our message proven justified 3 to 4 years later as the system began to purge these distortions, resulting in a climactic washout extending from October, 2008 to March, 2009. Yet ironically enough the URL ‘biiwii.com’ came from the old saying ‘but it is what it is’ and indeed this sentiment addressed the need to remain impartial (bullish or bearish as the situation dictates) despite personal beliefs. Over the long-term, the world changes and any successful market participant must be ready to accept changes or revisions to a given plan. Along the way, a geek-like interest in technical analysis, a long-time interest in human psychology and various unique macro market ratio indicators were added to the mix, with the result being a financial market newsletter (and dynamic interim updates),
Notes From the Rabbit Hole (NFTRH) that combines these attributes to provide a service that is engaged and successful in all market environments by employing risk management first, and opportunity for speculation second.

Increasing Speculation In “Paper Gold”
I remember you reporting something like this last week on another GLD related article. I think that is some good DD you have done. And I agree, GLD is an electronic ownership of a paper certificate that marks you to the price of gold and little more.
Swing Trading Watch List: FCX, ASB, MTDR, AMAT, BAC
Very nice. I am long Semi equipment (no longer in AMAT, but back in LRCX on its recent drop) and also long the banks (pending interest rates).
Silver & Gold; Bullish Message If They Jump Over This
Very nice DD on this. From what I remember, ETFS, which you mention, is a much safer option than GLD, which is to me little more than a trading vehicle. I don't know the particulars of what they do or don't hold or their housekeeping, which by your work appears shoddy at best. But I do know that when buying these ETFs, you are not buying gold. You are buying a paper claim to it (i.e. a gold 'price' tracking mechanism).
The Helicopter Paradigm
I can see assets and yields heading up in tandem.
The Helicopter Paradigm
We are being compelled to speculate. That is what the CBs are doing; making speculators of us all. The last thing they want is prudent saving. It's all in, baby. #Gold is a form of savings in this environment. A way station.
Four Stages Of Monetary Madness
I happen to agree with Mr. Pento that the next turn is to higher interest rates and inflation. Everybody's on the other side of the boat, compliments of your friendly global CBs.
Sentiment: Bullish Institutions Versus Bearish Individuals
NAAIM has been a fairly reliable contrary indicator for short-term market activity. You note 12 months, but markets are historically positive over most 12 month period samples. An over bullish NAAIM is a condition of a short-term market top.
Gold's Yin And Yang
I enjoy your rational thoughts on #gold, along with Keith's. When "bull ahoy" is loudest it is time to take cover in the gold sector.
