Are we there yet? Depends how good you are at drawing a circle. The low so far was just over $15. Perhaps another dollar or two or three but clearly it is not a time to be short! The 5th wave of C is getting close to equality wave wave 1 of C.

BTU update

On the 1st of this month we observed that BTU was a buy, not maybe but definitely. Here is the main argument once again in picture format (that is a chart), see previous blog.

First hint was the absolutely beautiful B-wave. Second hint was the vector equality of waves C and A, not a must but nevertheless a frequent occurrence. What is helping us out- we were already well on our way- is the help that we are getting from the Chinese government. Just like the Americans, they believe in a central command and control economic system. The only major difference is that they used to practice this approach for everything whereas the Americans only apply it wholeheartedly to central banking ( and a few dozen other areas!). The word is out, from now on the economy will grow at a pace no lower than 7%.  There must be something magic about the 6 to 7% range. This is roughly the same level that the Fed. is targeting for unemployment and, for those that can still remember the good old times, where interest should be, give or take, when allowed to find their proper equilibrium. Anyway, here is where we are today on rekindled demand for BTUs from China;

Basically we are up $3 on $15 in a month or 20%. The chart is very similar to that of ABX but the initial targets are a little higher. $21.84 for the immediate future and about $29 for the longer term. Keep your eye on the RSI. See also TCK.B

We are at $15 and the C wave is now vector equal to the A wave, a fairly common occurrence. In more detail we get;

All the required subdivisions in the count appear to be there, so a low here is what you would expect.  Also the RSI is at its lowest point in 3 years and has been there for almost a month. We are now well below the March 2009 lows of $18. This is the time to buy!
