Federal Reserve speaks tomorrow. Big day for both the bond and stock markets. This has been tug and war since the US stock market topped in 2007. A hint to which way the rope is going to drop will be tomorrow and in Round 15 a winner declared. However, there will most likely be a last minute third party stand-in for the final round, GOLD (see chart insert below). Metals have been left behind, as both the US Bonds and US markets recovered quickly after the October suprise in 2011. If stocks stay flat metals do very well. If both stocks and bonds stay flat metals do extraordinary well.
The chart above suggest both, US equities and bonds seem to be exhausting. While everyone on TV is saying "buy on markets next dip", and "dollar is king, buy US Dollar", or "don't buy gold, it's dead", do not listen to them. Dennis Gartman, author of famed "The Gartman Letter" I'm calling you out. This is the best time to be looking for an entry in both silver and gold.
