Before the election, it was almost universally predicted that if Trump was to be elected, gold would jump $100 – $200 right away. There was a prediction from a prominent analyst that gold would jump to $1,850. I never bought into the hype because the hard data that our algorithms depend upon was showing that any bounce would be met with selling. These are that same algorithms that gave a signal to backup the truck and buy silver at $17.73 before the big run to $50. The algorithms then gave a signal to sell all of the silver at $48.50. These algorithms also gave a backup the truck signal to buy gold in the $600 range with an average of $663 before a run to $1904. Then correctly gave a signal to sell half of the gold at the exact top at $1904 and put a stop on the remaining at $1750, subsequently gold fell to the $1000 range.
After the election results started leaking out, gold jumped to $1339 before crashing to about $1250.

For this reason, I decided to share the real reason with gold investors who are not our paying subscribers.

This is a huge deal. These notes represent 20% of cash value in circulation and 80% of cash outstanding…Read more at Kitco
