Carley will be discussing various options and futures strategies using gold as a portfolio diversifier. Gold, unlike other physical assets, has very little industrial or practical purposes but it can be an effective way to hedge a traditional portfolio. Yet, using inefficient products such as ETFs could expose traders to unexpected risks and drawbacks. The futures and options markets, on the other hand, offer highly efficient access to gold price exposure fitting the needs and risk tolerance of any sized investor or speculator.
-Why consider gold for hedging or speculating?
-Gold futures vs ETFs.
-What moves the gold market?
-Analyzing and understanding gold seasonal tendencies.
-Mining for clues in the COT Report.
-Technical analysis and gold futures.
-The time and place for gold is not “always”.
-Hedges or diversifiers are only helpful if profits are locked in.
Due to COVID-19 capacity restrictions, this event will not be complimentary but that doesn't mean it isn't a bargain. The event will host multiple presentations by world-renowned experts.

There is a new game in town; The Small Exchange is bringing futures trading to the masses with smaller and simpler futures contracts with efficiency and leverage.
DeCarley Trading is proud to offer clients access to the "smalls" products, if you would like to trade these contracts please complete an account application; start here.
According to The Small Exchange’s website, it offers the best of the stock and futures worlds in a single product. They claim to provide trading in products that pair the efficiency of futures with the simplicity of stocks. For that to be an accurate statement, we will need to see liquidity come into these products and their ties to the underlying assets must be proven but on the surface, I like what I see. The Small Exchange appears to be offering a bridge from stock trading into futures trading.

Crude oil is no strangler to 80% declines and it has proven it can come back. Futures and options broker, Carley Garner, analyzed the oil charts with Jim Cramer on Mad Money (April 28th, 2020).
The oil market needed to contend with an extreme but somewhat transitory, phenomenon. After all, the US is slowly turning the economy and, therefore, energy consumption, back on, and oil producers around the globe have been forced to slow down production. The cure for low commodity prices is always low commodity prices.
The Baker Hughes rig count reported on Friday that 60 rigs had fallen offline in the previous week to leave only 378 crude oil rigs in operation. We haven’t seen the US shale industry cut back like this since early 2016, which happened to mark the low for oil for years to come.

Gold and silver futures generally move in the same overall direction, albeit often at varying paces. Yet, today’s extreme fundamental environment in which the economy has been turned off, but the floodgates have been opened to fear have resulted in the two precious metals taking two very different paths. As investors have turned to gold as a portfolio hedging mechanism, the industrial demand for silver has cooled off. As a result, the gold-to-silver ratio has risen over 100 for the first time in history (at least as far as I am aware). In the past, an excessive gold-to-silver ratio reading has eventually translated into higher silver prices. Will this time be different because of COVID-19? Probably not.

The mantra, “don’t fight the Fed”, has been the trendy tagline to reference high-flying Treasury securities. This is for good reason, the Federal Reserve unleashed bazooka style monetary policy to combat the COVID-19 virus and its economic effects forcing interest rates toward zero.
The masses seem to have accepted the idea of negative interest rates. In fact, they seem to be expecting it. The Fed isn't expected to make any changes to the Fed Funds rate until we get more clarity on the impact of the COVID shutdown. Thus, unless the bond vigilantes take it upon themselves to push short-term rates into negative territory, it might not happen. Also, now that we've seen the idea of negative interest rates become mainstream, the story might finally have run its course. That’s generally how it works; once a fundamental story becomes seemingly obvious, its implications are already priced into markets, and prices generally reverse against generally accepted expectations.
