What Crude Oil’s Ratios Are Saying About Future Moves?
November 6, 2014, 5:35 PMWithout a doubt, Oct was the worst month for oil bulls since May 2012. In the previous month, the commodity lost over 11% as the combination of a stronger greenback, rising supplies and weaker demand weighted on the price. Additionally, the first days of the new month have been very negative for oil investors. After the breakdown below the psychologically important barrier of $80, oil bears pushed the price lower and light crude hit a four-year low of $75.84, breaking under long-term support lines. In this way, the commodity posted its sixth weekly loss in a row. Will light crude drop any further in the near future? Is it possible that crude oil’s ratios will give us some interesting clues?

Gold Price in November 2014
November 3, 2014, 10:41 AMGold, silver and mining stocks plunged heavily last week. We saw major events such as breakdowns and we saw some key levels being reached. The miners’ slide, and the silver’s and gold’s breakdowns were widely commented, but there are additional developments in the ratios that investors and traders need to consider at the moment. In today's huge (over 2200 words and 10 charts) alert we discuss the critical juncture at which the precious metals market is at the moment and we cover the events that took place in key ratios: the gold stocks to gold ratio which moved to its 2000 low (if you recall, that's one of the things that we expected to see at THE bottom), silver to gold ratio, Dow to gold ratio, and also 2 ratios that very few people follow.
