- 0:00So I think from a timing perspective, we're getting into a time where the
- 0:06market is right for a top. My extreme upside targets that I've been in
- 0:15has been focused for the last three to six months, was that maybe crude
- 0:20could get back to the ninety six dollar level, but I didn't expect to
- 0:27go any higher than that, and that, like I said, is a
- 0:30real extreme. If the perfect combination of factor, there's work to take hold.
- 0:37But my main upside objective right now is right around the eighty to ninety
- 0:44dollars level. You're listening to Carrie Let's Financial Survival Network where you get valuable

- 2:16Kerrelts dot com. So, Eric, when we last spoke, you weren't
- 2:22very optimistic about the stock indexes. Anything changed, Well, it all depends
- 2:29on what perspective you're talking about. I think that in general, stocks are
- 2:36still going through a multi year topping process. So from that perspective, I'm
- 2:42not overly bullish. Coming into this year. We had a host of on
- 2:49three to six months, six to twelve month cycles that were bottoming out in
- 2:53the beginning of the year. And completing what I thought would be the first
- 2:58significant sell off and equities. We got that in in January and kind of
- 3:04reinforced it in the months that followed. Since then, we've seen a lot
- 3:08of two sided trading in many of the indexities. I think one of the
- 3:14time frames that I was warning listeners and readers about was from late July into
- 3:21mid to late August, you had kind of a negative cycle when you could
- 3:24see all some selling. We got that pretty much on schedule, and now
- 3:31you're in a period where some of the indexes are poised to rally to newer
- 3:38highs on the year, whereas others are showing continuing weakness for lack of a
- 3:44better term, and it's not weakness as if it's about to fall apart,
- 3:51but on a relative basis. I think one of the really interesting indexes,
- 3:58and if you look at the RUSS two thousand over the last couple of years,
- 4:02and particularly all this rebound from June and or September of the last year,
- 4:11when it's at a double bottom, that index was able to recover enough
- 4:18to neutralize some of its negative trends, but not turn them up. And
- 4:25at the same time you have some long term averages and other indicators rolling over
- 4:32and starting to turn negative on an even broader perspective, And so that index
- 4:41gives a much different perspective than some of you were stronger indexes like the NAZZAC
- 4:49one hundred. But I think that early twenty twenty four is when we enter
- 4:57another period where there's a higher higher probability for a new sell off in stock.
- 5:02So that's kind of my time horizon and quantifying bullush or bearish on the
- 5:13stocks. It comes down to which timeframe you're talking about. Within there.
- 5:17Right now, I think that stocks could see a little more upside. I
- 5:23think you're going to see a couple of the sell offs between now and year
- 5:29end, but equally so some intervening rallies until we get to that early twenty
- 5:38twenty four time frames. So we are two sided action than anything. Okay,
- 5:43And one thing we've seen is interest rates the FED has continued to hike.
- 5:48Is that trend going to continue? I think that be not only my
- 5:53work, but the general consensus is showing that there it's time for a assault
- 6:01in that now. Whether they're going to drop them as aggressively in twenty twenty
- 6:09four, as many of the traders and economists for we're expecting and we're projecting
- 6:15that I think is starting to come into question that Whereas you know, there
- 6:23was talk of I think four or five rate cuts next year, now let's
- 6:27talk of maybe three, and so you get that perception that drives the market
- 6:32and future perception. So whether they raise rates again at any point in the
- 6:39near future, which I think is becoming less and less likely, Traders are
- 6:44already looking ahead to what they expect for the first part of twenty twenty four.
- 6:50And I think, once again I probably sound like a broken record with
- 6:56this, but that four year cycle in bonds and notes has been just uncanny
- 7:03in its accuracy, and it helped pinpoint the July twenty twenty peak in bonds
- 7:12and notes, which was a corresponding low in interest rates. Prior to that,
- 7:16it had set a previous peak in July of twenty sixteen, and prior
- 7:21to that in July August of twenty twelve. And I think that that same
- 7:27cycle, along with many corroborating cycles, is saying to look for a rebound
- 7:35peak in bonds and notes in around July of twenty twenty four. That would
- 7:43mean a corresponding low after a dip in interest rates at that same time.
- 7:50So from not only that cycle that's just something that I use as a backdrop,
- 7:57but from a lot of other timing into caters I have. My work
- 8:01still shows that we see the initial upswinging interest rates into the current time frame.
- 8:09Then you see kind of a plateau or a topping phase. Then you
- 8:16should get a brief dip in rates in first quarter and second quarter next year.
- 8:24But after that I think things will get even more interesting heading into late
- 8:28twenty twenty four, that into twenty twenty five. Okay, so you know
- 8:33one thing that interest rates housing very interest rates sensitive. And yet over the
- 8:39past couple of months we've seen the home builders, the big publicly traded home
- 8:43builders like Lenard Poulty, Toll Brothers, h hit all time highs during that
- 8:50time. Now they're about five to ten percent off their peak. Can we
- 8:54glean anything from that? I think you can clean that they're doing things more
- 9:00efficiently and generating profits more. And you go back to the beginning of COVID
- 9:07and the different things that have shifted with with home building. For starting with
- 9:13the escalation in we're all resources prices, when lumber quadrupled and contempled in price
- 9:24and other resources, is just shot through the roof and you had libor shortage
- 9:30if I A lot of these home builders go about their their construction a lot
- 9:37more prudently, and even though there was a burgeoning demand for homes, they're
- 9:43not building lear as quickly or as haphazardly as we've done in past cycles.
- 9:52Yes, that's helping the bottom line, but it's also extending this overly elevated
- 10:01price in homes because the supply is not there. And anyone who previously had
- 10:11thought about selling a home and either upbreeding or downsizing, they can't stand the
- 10:18thought of trading in at three percent mortgage and having to take out a six
- 10:24percent mortgage, so they're just not so the supply that normally would be there
- 10:28in a normal real estate cycle is not there. So it's artificially driving up
- 10:35the price of homes and you could out in the foreseeable future, get one
- 10:45of these a little bit of a domino effect where you get rate starts come
- 10:50down a little bit, you get more people selling homes, you get the
- 10:52builders willing to you will commit a little bit more, and then you get
- 10:58prices start to come down, and that creates its own reality moving forward.
- 11:05So the stocks of those home builders I think is a reflection of some things
- 11:11that have gone on the last year or two, But I don't know if
- 11:15they have a lot of future prognosticating effects in those in those elevated prices of
- 11:24our stock. All right, we can see that there're definitely other things besides
- 11:31interest rates that dictate home demand and supply. And the fact that nobody wants
- 11:37to get out of their low rate mortgages to go downsize and wind up paying
- 11:41more per month than they were before is definitely one of those trends. All
- 11:46right, So Oil, you were calling for higher prices. We're now at
- 11:52the highs of twenty twenty three. Do we go higher? Do we break
- 11:56a hundred? Well, I've been all along looking at the time frame that
- 12:01we're now coming into. For the last three months, I just kept repeatedly
- 12:07saying, pruned and the products should head higher into middle of September, and
- 12:13that's when ill some of my initial cycles would begin to peak. But from
- 12:20an even broader perspective, you've got a fairly consistent five year cycle, and
- 12:28that's also the midpoint of the broader ten year cycle. All of which are
- 12:35I'll arguing for a peak here in the September October time frame. So I
- 12:41think from a timing perspective, we're getting into a time where the market is
- 12:48right for a top. My extreme upside targets that I've been in has been
- 12:58focused for the last three to sex months, was that maybe CREWDE could get
- 13:03back to the ninety six dollars level, but I didn't expect to go any
- 13:09higher than that, and that, like I said, is a real extreme.
- 13:13If the perfect combination of factor there's works, you take hold. But
- 13:18my main upside objective right now is right around the eight to ninety dollars level,
- 13:26where I think that crew should run into a lot of resistance. Okay,
- 13:31so when you talk about CREWDE, we also often look at that gas
- 13:35which has been trading low lower since since earlier in the year when it was
- 13:41you know, our last summer when it was at ten dollars per mcf.
- 13:46Yeah, natural bs certainly crashed in price as our supply continued to increase,
- 13:56and it's been in what I believe is the bottoming phase. In early June,
- 14:03it's set an initial bottom and has held that ever since. That was
- 14:09really when a lot of multi month and one of the two year cycles were
- 14:15anticipating a bottom. But there's been a very fairly consistent three months well swing
- 14:24type of cycle in natural gas, going from highs to highs, that highs
- 14:28to lows, and that initially bottomed in early June, but then it's all
- 14:37it showed that we should see a secondary low and early September and we're just
- 14:41coming through that. So I think that natural gas is building a base,
- 14:48but it's still there's still is some time before key indicators who'd be able to
- 14:56start to turn more positives and produce act more of the sustained and substantial rally.
- 15:03So I think we're still in this basing period and there's a couple of
- 15:09key factors I need to see kick in before I think that natural basket really
- 15:15sustained an uplove. What about the gold precious kennels and gold is still I
- 15:24know when we talked last time, I was well, first of all,
- 15:28we were kind of reviewing the discussion from the previous time that gold really had
- 15:35a very significant cycle top in early May and I didn't expect it to see
- 15:41another comparable high until early November. And in between when we talked back in
- 15:50journeistic it's gold still had some more downside potential before its foot I'll begin a
- 15:58more significant rally. And for four or five months I just kept my readers
- 16:06focused on the middle half of August as the time when the next cycle low
- 16:11in gold should take hold, and that is pretty much what we've seen.
- 16:19Both the medals and the mining shares all headed steadily lower from the early May
- 16:26cycle highs into August seventeenth to the twenty first, which was the ideal time
- 16:33for a bottom. Based on monthly, weekly daily cycles, there's a very
- 16:38consistent twenty three weeks cycle in gold in the XU index, and once again
- 16:48those markets bottom lockstep with that cycle in the latter part of August. So
- 16:55we're in the weeks following that cycle low starting to build a little bit of
- 17:03a higher base, higher plateau. And I have said all along that I
- 17:10thought the bullish phase, moderately bullish phase for gold would not arrive until the
- 17:18second half of September, first half of October, and that, like I
- 17:22said, it's just the beginning of when some of these timing indicators I follow
- 17:30would start to turn to the upside. My focus or My warning has been
- 17:37all long that very often gold will see the majority of its move in just
- 17:45the final weeks prior to a cycle high. So if I'm looking for a
- 17:51cycle high in early November, that means really the weeks leading into that through
- 17:57October are the time when you often would see a stronger rally. So that
- 18:07kind of fits with these indicators starting to turn positive or having the potential turn
- 18:11positive in second half of September, more likely in the first half of October,
- 18:19and so I think we could get a nice intermediate rally there. But
- 18:25gold is still going to have some headwinds working against it until we get past
- 18:32early twenty twenty four. Okay, and finally, what about the dollar.
- 18:37The dollar is one of those headwinds that I think is on keeping gold intact.
- 18:47And I believe that the dollars set an initial bottom this year, but
- 18:53that that was just the first sell off that we will see in the dollar
- 19:00throughout this year. I've been devoting a decent amount of my monthly newsletter and
- 19:06the opening comments and analysis to this thinking that I have that we have entered
- 19:14a new forty year cycles of currency wars, and I explained that in more
- 19:21detail in my publications, but that one of the key things within that long
- 19:30term cycle is a transition for the dollar, and I think that we are
- 19:36just in the very early stages of that. And my intermediate work is showing
- 19:45that the dollar should rebound from mid July when three to six month cycles bottomed
- 19:52into January of twenty twenty four. But at that point, I'm looking for
- 19:59a secondary, a lower high in the dollar, and then things start to
- 20:03get a little more negative for the dollar in the one of the two years
- 20:11that follow that timeframe, and that's when I think you'll also see more of
- 20:15an opportunity for gold and for other anti dollar type of vehicles. So I
- 20:23think the dollar is in this phase of tracing out a long time major top.
- 20:32But again that's we're talking multi year type of cycles and trends, so
- 20:40it doesn't all happen at once. It doesn't mean that the dollar suddenly collapses
- 20:47in six or twelve months. It means that it's going through a longer term
- 20:52transition phase. And I've laid out a lot of the reasons, fundamental and
- 20:59technical, but you certainly sought another affirmation. Another duck lining up in a
- 21:07row in late August when the Bricks Nations had their annual meeting and announced that
- 21:15they were inviting Saudi Arabia and actually five other countries to join BRICKS. And
- 21:23these are all countries that want to get out from under the US dollar supremacy
- 21:34and being forced to use US dollar for a lot of their trade. And
- 21:41it's a it's a slow, steady process, but it's it's looking to break
- 21:48that hegemony of the US dollar. And over the coming years, I think
- 21:53you're going to see steady movement in that direction, and there will be key
- 22:00times within that when when the dollar suffers some reactive sell offs as this topping
- 22:07process continues to unfold. All right, So, if I remember correctly,
- 22:12you were kind of called the election based on the strength of the dollar last
- 22:18time. The dollar usually goes higher during democratic presidencies and lower during Republican presidencies.
- 22:26Do you think this is maybe predictive here at this point? I don't
- 22:33see that. I don't see as clear of an indication. Yeah, last
- 22:40time, in the six to eight months heading into the election, it was
- 22:45looking very clear that the dollars should bottom and begin a new unmulti year rally,
- 22:56which, yes, as I described, has been very consistent in democratic
- 23:00administrations. With the dollar going through this topping process, it's going to have
- 23:07as much of a determining factor on whether whether we see several years all of
- 23:18two sided type of action as that whole transition unfolds, or whether we see
- 23:26a really sharp sell off. Looking into your say, twenty twenty five,
- 23:33which would be the first year of a new administration, it certainly could have
- 23:38that that precursor nuanced to it, and I'll be looking at that more closely
- 23:49coming into next year, But right now I don't see strong enough evidence to
- 23:59go one way or the other in that. Okay, interesting, Interesting,
- 24:03and any other markets we should be looking at where you're seeing trends shift or
- 24:11perhaps exacerbate, I don't know that there's any that really stand out right now.
- 24:17You know. I've been looking at one particular grain and the wheat market
- 24:22to set up bottom in here, but that could take some time before it
- 24:26starts to build a base. I've been looking at cryptos, bitcoin and etc.
- 24:33As having a negative cycle from the nit July when intermediate cycles peaked,
- 24:41stretching out into November when I anticipate the next significant bottom. But in both
- 24:51of those cases that means you've got the potential for a lot of two sided
- 24:57trading one to two weeks trends in each direction, so that needs to be
- 25:03kind of focused on in a more microscopic perspective as post or broad perspectives.
- 25:11All right, so interesting times ahead. Sounds like there's going to be a
- 25:17lot of volatility and a lot of uncertainty in the world. Yeah. I
- 25:23think there's definitely the potential for a couple black swan events over the next year
- 25:30or so, especially based on how some of the markets you're lining up,
- 25:34But you can't really plan for them per se, other than just making sure
- 25:42you're sharing to get strong money management principles and following the trends because usually those
- 25:52future events chests of shadows before. All right, well, hey appreciate you
