Here's what happened with the third quarter investments: 

Looks like the dollar soared (so much for Fed printer devaluations), metals tanked (so much for safe havens), and while big cap. stocks have done best this past quarter the current status is "market under pressure" (read: under a cloud)

 

Looking forward to Q4 2014:

OK so while the future is anyone's guess we do know that these plotted guesstimates are what the Fed (FOMC) is planning on

Only three drug stocks are connected to Ebola

What about sanitation clothing and masks? One of those I know of is APT. It's way up the past few months, but I believe lost some steam yesterday.

More reasons to sell the BOND ETF.

The new managers of Bond have drastically sold their Canadian Bonds and are buying Mexican and ? bonds.

I agree. There's all kinds of derivative plays. But I personally believe this will all blow over (until next time). Wait for a pullback in price on your targeted stock start accumulating if that's your strategy. Cheers!

Metals are not safe haven ... they represent speculation.

NED DAVIS: Gold Will Plunge To $660

Business Insider
By Myles Udland

John LaForge, commodities strategist at Ned Davis Research says gold is going to $660 an ounce.

In an appearance on CNBC on Thursday, LaForge said that the end of the current “supercycle” for gold could push the precious metal down to $660 an ounce, or about 40% lower than where it is currently trading.

LaForge said that in the 1980s, the price of gold fell about 65% from peak-to-trough as the precious metal enduring a 20-year bear market.

And after hitting $1900 an ounce in 2011, gold should see a similar peak-to-trough decline in current cycle.

“We know that commodities run in supercycles, and they eventually die. And gold looks like it’s dying,” LaForge said.

“So $660 is certainly in the cards.”
