BarroMetrics Views: Bond Yields and S&P Rallies
Generally, when Bond yields go up, S&P prices are expected to move down; when yields are down, S&P prices go up. But notice that I say generally. I take that view that when S&P major top is in the offing, in a sideways or bear market, we may see […]

BarroMetrics Views: Silver 2010-12-13
I did a Gold analysis for the weekend video. I thought I’d complete the set by looking at silver.

BarroMetrics Views: Trading and Intuition
There is a debate at the moment between proponents of ‘rational mind’ decisions and ‘intuition’. Each has its advocates and each side claims that it is correct. As an example of the clash read: ‘The Invisible Gorilla‘ and ‘Blink‘.
