Suprise, suprise the "Fiscal Cliff" is almost upon us. Is it just me or is the world just bouncing from one crisis to another crisis where nothing gets done?
We have been discussing the "Fiscal Cliff" for well over a year that I can recall, and nothing has been accomplished. Over the pond in Europe, Greece, Spain, Italy and France all have major problems yet not one of these countries has addressed their problems. Politicians first and foremost want to keep their own jobs and are loath to make hard decisions.
I am not sure if the art of kicking the can down the road was perfected here in the US or in Europe, but we certainly now have a bunch of global politicians who are very adept at kicking the can down the road.
In the US, every economist and politician has been keenly aware for some time that we are facing a fiscal cliff at the end of the year. They all say the "we must do something about this", but not one of them seems to have the political courage or guts to make the hard decisions and get the job done.
Now more than ever, politics and policies are driving the markets.

"Obama Insurance": Look at the gold and silver charts which are currently in long-term monthly uptrends. The intermediate-term trend for both metals is negative. Our GamePlan: Wait for the intermediate-term weekly Trade Triangle to turn green and then get some "Obama Insurance" because you are going to need it!!
Now, let's go to the markets and see what our Trade Triangles are indicating.
Have a great trading day,
