Different Kind of Financial Market Analysis "Go
for it Gary... you are good, a great read and you have a unique
voice so count me in" --Jon A (Managing Director, International
Brokerage Firm, NYC) 9/25/08 "I
like your letter because it IS reputable and broad enough to provide
good ideas for research and consideration... I'll be an ongoing
reader because I consider your stuff head and shoulders better than
any other letter I've used, and there have been a few. Going
through them was expensive, but a lesson in itself." --Doug T 11/11/08 "I'm
continuously amazed how you use various indicators and more
importantly, how you evaluate their potential
significance." --Jurgen W 12/7/08
"Gary, I
think you should know this. I subscribe to you for one simple reason.
You see outside the
box BETTER than most I've read and known, and you are good…"
--Armando R 12/8/08
"I am
definitely in tune with your approach. I read a lot, from a lot of
different sources. You, Elliot Wave, Safehaven, Prudent Bear, Big
Gold, etc. And I am trying to make sense of all of this. The bottom
line is NOBODY knows what is going to happen. All you can do is look
at probable outcomes and manage risk/reward, exactly like you said.
That is why I subscribe to you. Not because you are a guru, but
exactly because you are not one. Because nobody is, and so the
honesty is very refreshing :)" --Mark B 12/10/08
"I’m
enjoying your NFTRH immensely and finding it very helpful"
--Ann F 12/31/08
"You’re
much better by far on TA than others I know, so you’re the man in
that arena... I watch the oils, currencies (including goldie) and PM
miners, so we have significant overlap. Now, I need to see when it
makes sense to long/short them in their inevitable rise and that
would be your role! Can you say “nearing resistance” or
“nearing support”??... Besides, we all need folks to suggest
actions with which we may not agree so we can examine why we don’t
agree since we all have that tendency to see what we want to see and
pooh pooh things that don’t match our current world view. I
absolutely hate it when you or Tim Wood say I am wrong as it forces
me to doubt my position. I wouldn’t have it any other
way!" --Ron N 1/20/09
"Notes From
The Rabbit Hole (NFTRH), the weekly newsletter run by BiiWii Gary,
has developed from a good read to a truly great read on all things
market" --incakolanews.blogspot.com 1/25/09
"Hi
Gary, Thanks for the great
job you are doing! For
$26.00 per month not only do you get a wealth information but the value
is increased immensely by the occasional emails you send out if
things take a turn."
--Doug M 1/29/09
"Completely
agree. One of your best [NFTRH22]" --Lawrence L (Managing Partner, International Equity Investment Management Firm,
Boston, MA) 2/28/09
"Thanks
again for giving your well thought out and written
perspectives!" --Robert S 3/8/09
"You're
incredible..... Such great service comes with this
newsletter." --Jerolyn J 3/30/09
"I'm
canceling my xxxx xxxx subscript in order to keep yours. Might
have to sell my body to keep Russell, Lol... Thanks Gary. You are
really on top of this stuff. You would pooh pooh the 6th sense thing, but you are right on it. Amazing."
--Steve D
4/3/09
"Thanks
Gary
, I had my epiphany (seasonally timely!) this weekend…it’s
inflation all the way kid…the last bubble and the final
frontier. Your thinking and articulation are so very
good." --Jon A (Managing Director, International
Brokerage Firm, NYC) 4/7/09 "Hi
Gary, So first thanks the intriguing insights. I do enjoy your
writing style and I wind up reading your newsletters 2-3 times
anyway, though they are not as hard to follow as I
thought." --Mark P 4/14/09 "You
had made a recommendation to buy Gold Mining stocks (back in
December?) and you had said that it was a once in a life time
opportunity. Well - I took your advice and made an excellent
realized gain. Thank you!!! That gain certainly
justifies the subscription cost.
Thanks again!" --Lyling H 4/15/09 "[I'm
an] economist by training, but I've recently learned to
appreciate the psychological side of things... I can now see the
value in the technical analysis (as the underlying is really mostly
psychology), hence why I like the added-value provided by
your newsletter!!!!" --Peter B 4/16/09 "Excellent
and timely finger
pointing. Tripled my subscription return on a round
trip" --Ron N 5/1/09 "Hi
Gary, I have now read these
NFTRHs, and they are excellent reading and very informative. The
only trouble I see is your claim to the "proprietary"
brag-to-the-wife indicator. I have been back testing just such an
indicator, and I have concluded that it is an excellent sell now
indicator that I only wish I listened to more :) I look
forward to next week's." --Steve F 5/3/09
"Your comments are refreshing and reassure me that my
subscription is well placed" --6/2/09 "Excellent
edition [NFTRH32] Gary" --Mark T 5/10/09 "Here’s
a quote which you are free to use : 'Thanks again
Gary
for the non-investment thoughts in your NFTRH newsletter .
Acting on the conclusions I drew from your non-investment ideas,
more very profitable trades. Double digit ideas deserve a
single malt response! Enjoy!'" --Ron N
5/16/09 "Keep up the
good work. It's appreciated." --Joe C
5/21/09 "NFTRH pulls me
back to check the 'map' if you will. Your personal
orientation....how you do things....what you're looking
at.....etc. All good stuff." --Jerolyn J
5/21/09 "And thanks
again for your great service. In my opinion you are the best
all around investing letter. You come from an honest place
and try to educate and make some money. You are
accomplishing that. Warm regards," --Paul
K 5/25/09 "Hi
Gary, just subscribed about a week ago and liking it a lot. Really
opening my eyes up to some things that I'm trying to research
further." --Mark F 5/26/09 "Your
comments today about the subscriber cancellation were quite
refreshing. They also reinforced my reasons for subscribing to the
letter. It is not that you are a better technician than I am. Nor
that you are a better observer of the "human condition"
(so important to trading successfully). Rather, it is your ability
to distill everything you see- and feel- into concise, powerful
statements. These statements force me to question my own strategy,
forcing me to be a better trader. You
provide a dose of reality which, I fear, I need more of each day."
--Jeff K 5/27/09 "Cheers
to ya... I know you'll keep a calm head while rabid gold bugs
drool and howl at the moon." --Scott H 5/29/09 "I
live in the UK and given our property boom, debt and [quantitative]
easing, I feel that we are going down the same the route as
America. I currently have purchased some physical gold and within
the last two weeks purchased a few gold stocks, picked mainly from
Jay Taylor's Gold & Technology newsletter. This weekend,
while researching, I stumbled upon your site. I felt you
talked a lot of sense and have a good grasp of the
current financial crisis. It was your blog
entry of May 28th, 2009, that made me sit up and think
whether, I was doing the right thing by jumping in and buying gold
stocks at this particular point in time." --Paul
T 6/1/09 "I
really appreciate your reasonably conservative perspective on the
markets and especially gold/miners. Having sold my business in 08
I spend a lot of time following the economic show and the
resource markets. I've already learned some good stuff
trading-wise from your efforts. Want (and intend) to
follow the blog more closely. I'll certainly stick around for a
while. Great work Gary. Thanks," --Bill H
6/8/09 "My
pleasure Gary. Your 'free' blog insights have served my clients
and my business well. Figured it was time to start paying you
back. Really appreciate your passion, your objectivity and your
work product. Cheers," --Paul A, Registered General Securities Representative 6/10/09 "Hi
Gary, Being used to typos in everything lately, even mainstream
articles and commentaries, it is something that bothers few, I'm
sure. But, one of the reasons I subscribe to you, is that your
perfectionist qualities are admirable and reflect a concern that
is rare and probably permeates everything you do. You instill
trust. Thanks for the good work." --Mark F
6/22/09
"Hi Gary, As one of
the "I gotta get into the miners" at [HUI] 360 or so, I
have saved myself a considerable sum of money by listening to what
you have been saying. Good job!" --Steve F 6/23/09
"Good morning Gary, I haven't
dispatched a note of appreciation to you for a while; and
you're due one; hence, this... for
me, this is a particularly fine edition of Notes. What I like is your ongoing
reminders of themes - slow learner here - and your wonderful
chart notes and commentary - helping me learn how to see - and
highlights like the falling wedge to support being one of your
favourite set ups - I underline and asterisk educational
snippets like that. Anyway, just thanks from me. Kind regards," --Barbara
F 7/12/09
"Actually, I'd do a
lifetime sub if you had it. Seriously. Keep up the great
work." --Stephen M 8/2/09
"Gary, thank you
for your work. It has great value to me, always keeping me
mindful of the larger market forces." --Dennis S
8/4/09 "Gary,
Just a note to say I am finding these mid week updates very very
helpful. Glad you are doing this." --David
M 8/4/09
"Sir,
I've
only been a subscriber for a short period of time and already I
feel I'm getting more than my money's worth.
I
don't want someone to hold my hand and tell me what to purchase.
What I need is a sharp mind explaining to me in near real time his
or her thought process on how to navigate this market without
idealism, hope, propaganda or blind bias.
As
individual investors or traders, the
only way to "win" is to empower ourselves. That only
happens when we stop allowing other conflicted, biased people
with agendas think for us and begin to think for ourselves.
I
need a shot of courage to act on my beliefs. That courage comes
from someone else examining my beliefs for honesty, intelligence
and common sense. Since you share my beliefs and attitudes, you
provide that third party review I so desperately need.
If
I don't have someone else examine my thought process, I am
prone to information bias where I seek out confirming
information and ignore contrary information. A sure prescription
for financial and emotional disaster if ever I saw one.
It
seems you are exactly what I need. Thank you." --Michael
T 8/20/09
"Gary, Your
analysis and guidance are much appreciated by me and, I suspect, by
many others. No one has the answers or a window to the
future. Your discipline and respect for the truth communicated
only by charts is invaluable for those of us who struggle ever day
with emotion." --Dan G 9/2/09
"I appreciate
your candor and consider these missives like today to be an
extremely rare and valuable asset helping me to navigate through
these wicked waters." --Jay D 10/4/09 "Thanks
again for the great analysis." --Jason I 10/6/09 "Gary,
just a little feedback on your comments about physical Gold. Dead
on.
I am relatively new to gold, making my first purchase in October
2008 at
$847/oz. Since then I have picked up a few ounces each month and so
far have
not been "burned" on the price. I feel lucky to have been
educated by you on
the value of gold, and that has given me a zen-like calmness that I
really
feel will carry me through if Prechter is right and we see a
significant
pullback. To your point below, it just doesn't matter.
Contrast that to my father-in-law, whose investments I began
managing last
February. I bought an initial stake in physical gold for him and
have been
adding to that position steadily. We meet about once a month to
review where
things are, and every month he has asked "When do I think gold
will hit
$2000/oz.?" He is quite puzzled when I answer him with "It
doesn't matter."
Sometimes he presses me on what I mean, and I say "Look, when
gold hits
$2000/oz, a gallon of gas will probably cost $8 and a loaf of bread
$10. We
are protected if it does, but we don't really want Gold to hit
$2000. If it
does, it does." He says "Ah." and changes the
subject, much like you or I
would do if confronted by an obviously crazy person who has drawn us
into a
conversation that we really don't want to be part of.
Now, all that being said, I have "suspended" my monthly
purchases of Gold
since this recent bump up in price to $1060. After reading you, and
I do
also listen very closely to Prechter, I suspect that a certain
element of
this price move is because Gold has become part of the sucker's
rally across
all the asset classes. Maybe I'm not as zen-like as I'd like to
believe I
am. ;-) Have a great day." --Steve B 10/15/09 "Hi
Gary, Well that was a nice way to start the subscription. The
analysis of GDX is why I subscribed and your thoughts seemed to have
been spot on." --Guy P 11/3/09 "Gary,
Many thanks for your updates they are really appreciated. The
updates together with the newsletter help me enormously in planning
my approach to investing in the markets during these turbulent
times. The newsletter subscription is the best value out
there." --Paul T 12/1/09 "Hey
Gary, I for one really appreciate these frequent insights into what
you are thinking/feeling/doing - especially for projecting off of as
a fellow market participant." --Ray V 12/1/09 "Hi
Gary, Sold AAU at $1.23. You are brilliant! My devastating
losses from last year are not looking so bad anymore. Sure, I lost
the profits I made, but at least my initial investment is inching
back, thanks to you." --Mark F 12/3/09
"Gary,
sometimes you just nail it; this is one of those times." --Jon
A 12/20/09
"Good
(Green) Morning Gary, I am sure you saw this [LAM.to news item] ,
just wanted to say Thanks for the intro to these ideas. You seem to

move!" --Doug M 1/11/10

have a great newsletter" --Ken C 3/17/10

technician, I feel that there are few analysts that offer value for
me, but you do. Your work on Gold ratios has helped my analysis
greatly." --Jordan Roy-Byrne, CMT (www.thedailygold.com), 4/9/10
"Gary,
Thanks for your updates: greatly appreciated! Since I follow you
and Otto Rock, I try to combine fundamentals with technical buy and
sell signals. Therefore, any educational contributions along your
lines of work I try to understand and perhaps also use. So, keep it
up, please!" --Jurgen W 4/26/10
"Once again, please let me
say something here. You have Disciplined yourself in a
way that so few can control, and then you
communicate that and you do it with such feeling. Thats
what I was trying to say. Great Job! Now get back to work."
--Robert
E 4/30/10

updates/alerts are often worth their weight in gold. Or at

for your continuing excellent blog and newsletter. I'm getting
a superior education in the macro markets compared to anything else
I've been able to find anywhere. No
bitches about the riddles here - they make me think and research for
myself, which is exactly what I need to do..." --Mark
F 7/1/10 "[Your]
TA view is well executed from a purely technical point of view
(I thought I was good until I found you) and I have
consistently admired the extreme discipline you exhibit in your
newsletter. In fact I'm a bit jealous. While
I'm sure you don't see yourself as "extremely"
disciplined, take it from a person who studies human psychology
closely, including examining myself and my weaknesses. You have
remarkable discipline, which ironically can make your newsletter
somewhat plain vanilla at times. I LOVE your plain vanilla
BTW. :>)" --Michael T 7/21/10 "Can
I refer to you as "G-Money"...because your updates are
money." --Jordan Roy-Byrne 7/27/10 (The
