Been reading everything I can about gold. Thought this link was interesting. The author's premise is certainly interesting.

Michael is the PM/CIO of the Mainstay Marketfield Fund which has been an excellent performer since inception in 2007. He is well known to old stock hands as one of the three co-partners of the famed Comstock Fund (along with Stan Salvigsen and Charles Minter; these days the Comstock Fund is managed solely by Minter).

Michael is a brilliant thinker and a true contrarian. His latest monthly commentary is well worth a close read: http://www.nylinvestments.com/MainSt...rketfield-Fund

In December De Mark called for a 48% gain for the China market. I havent heard anything from him since and China has sunk like a rock.

Here's the class.

https://class.coursera.org/money-001/class

It just started.

The professor promises that at the end of the class we'll be able to understand every word of the FT and will be able to explain it to anyone in plain English.

So far I've listened to the first lecture and read the first reading (57 pgs written by a 1920s era monetary expert; even though they're free, these classes are no joke.) btw he says the environment today is closer in many ways to that of Bagehot in the 19thC than to that of Irving Fisher in the mid 20thC, and that's on the reading list too.

If anyone wants to take it, I'd love to have some company from someone on this board.

If you don't know what Coursera is, pls go to Coursera.org because the class offerings are amazing. There's also edx and venturelab out of Stanford.

ilona.

Many here are quant-oriented and I found this website to be a gold mine for quantitative studies. There, you will never miss any study or research anymore as they are constantly posted in real time from all around the internet.
