We are looking for an opportunity to spit on our hands and hoist the black flag.  Pirates. That’s what we are at heart. Sure we may don the gay colors of the bulls when it suits us…

THE PATHFINDER 2024 - RULES FOR THE ROAD

The system we utilize to find a safe path through the market we call The PathFinder. We use this tool to fuel our Hard Asset Life. It is not necessary but it does make things easier for us. We spent more than ten years studying, developing, and testing a mechanical trading system. The PathFinder does NOT use artificial intelligence. It is a hybrid system but primarily analog.

THE PATHFINDER - TRADE UPDATE - 12/13/23

FED Schmed…. Everybody seems to be running around with their hair on fire because the FED graciously decided not to burden us with another rate hike with which to soak up their egregious excess. Traders were expecting 4 rate cuts next year on the dreaded DOT PLOT. Instead they shall have only 3.  Primary question I have is as follows: If according to FED DATA (no homos) inflation has abridged…

STONE #1 HIDE: Read I Kings 5:3-5 and memorize verse 4.  3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.    4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.    5 And, behold,…

THE PATHFINDER

I’m filled with rage and anger today. The market seemingly couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel. From deep inside their little black box homes filled with filthy algorithms and high speed trading knives the chop chop ninjas venture forth today to wreak havoc and ruin. I despise chop chop ninja days. Looks like we are nearing a signal though. A bright shining sun…
