What is admirable about Northstar’s posts is the “big picture” he paints. They come across as logical and they are easy to understand. Add in the fact that he is correct, and well, an unbeatable combination. The guy kept me in gold when I had little interest being there. After 8 years of flogging it took the mastery of his persuasive charts to convince me to have one.more.go.
Pictures are not necessarily as good as 1K words. Many charts are uninformative, and all to many proliferations of charts are worse. Northstar’s charts with his annotations are like the distillation of the best of both worlds–extremely easy to read charts combined with easy to read abstracts to long and unusually useful articles. One half minute or less of a look is often much better than any number of other charts, or any number of long articles. There’s rigor as well–he often in a few words presents an alternative hypothesis so that the intelligent reader is not encouraged to be a dopey follower. The postings are a pleasure to look at.
All too often people stall out if they see good reviews however. Perhaps we should hope he doesn’t read these.
Ha ha, you’d have to ask my customers on that one. Weather forecasting here in the UK is. erm, challenging, to say the least – always keeps you on your toes.
Strange how one guy, out of all those out there, stuck to his guns in the face of strange, unpredictable moves in this volatile market and ended up being right, hopefully for a long time.
Appreciate the kind comments, and as Jim quite rightly says, we need to be on our guard. There are definitely going to be some quite large pullbacks and consolidations. For me, this is where it starts getting tricky, but also where the market will start to give us some hints as to just how vigorous this market is going to be, and how high we might be able to set our sights. Happy investing 🙂

And here we are!

But is he any good at the weather?

Amen about Northstar, but I fear the community may be getting overly bullish.
