Black Candlesticks in the Euro and Pound say the Dollar is Alive and Well

November 11, 2011 Posted by admin

 

Don’t believe the predictions about the “Death of the Dollar.”  It is doing just fine against the Canadian Dollar and the Yen, thank you; and tall black Candlestick patterns in the Euro and in the Pound are the first evidence of long declines which, in turn, will elevate the Dollar Index to levels which we have not seen in more than a year.

It has been fashionable to decry the decline in the value of the Dollar over the past several months; and the lower it has traded, the louder has become the negativism as the opinion of naysayers has recirculated and reinforced itself while the size of the Dollar-bear baying herd has grown.  It is axiomatic, of course, that when “expert” opinion accelerates in one direction to the point at which nearly all participants are of a single mind, their opinion is probably wrong.

That is precisely what has occurred in the case of the US Dollar.  In Elliott Wave terminology, the Dollar Index had declined ever closer to completion of a major fifth (and last) Wave Down, so in our view it was just a question of time before the bottom was marked and the Index turned about and began to rise.

The Dollar was already low as against the Canadian Dollar and the Yen, so we kept an eye on those two as probably the first to “break.”  The Pound was due for a rebound before it were to fall in a substantial manner, so we determined simply to wait it out until the Pound were to find its own top, and then reverse.  The Euro was high, but our Indicators told us that a turn was coming soon.

Here is what has happened:  The US Dollar has, in fact, advanced very nicely as against the Canadian and as against the Yen, and those advances continue apace.  The Pound did make its top, as forecast, showing a bearish tall black Candlestick, and has turned strongly down; and the Euro has now topped and reversed to the downside, also as forecast, also in a strong bearish black Candlestick.

The upshot, of course, is that the Dollar Index is making a strong recovery, while displaying bullish tall white Candlesticks.  We expect to see the Dollar Index at 85 or better.

We knew it was coming.  We knew it all the time.

Humidors Keep Cigars Alive

November 4, 2010 Posted by admin

In this world, the number of smokers, especially cigar smokers have been increased greatly. If you or your friend is an avid smoker of cigars, then it is necessary to have humidors as they keep your cigar in a desired humidity level and temperature, preventing cigars to lose the original taste or flavour. These cigars give the pure taste and quality of smoking. Some of the notable brands of humidors include Adorini, Andre Garcia, Alfred Dunhill, Gerber Humidor and Bellitica. These brands are also available from online stores.

Basics of Humidors

Any kind of a box or room with continuous humidity and temperature used to store cigars or pipe tobacco is called humidors. For personal usage, small wooden or acrylic glass humidor boxes are available and able to keep a few dozen cigars, while cigar shops use walk-in humidors, sometimes consisting of a whole floor. In order to keep track of the humidity levels, humidors of all sizes employ hygrometers. Humidors are classified into various categories.

Classification of Humidor

1. Table Humidor

One of the popular humidors is table humidor, which is quite heavy and usually kept static in one location. It generally holds 300 to a few thousand cigars. Table humidor comes in various types such as polished wood exterior, marble, leather, combination of exotic elements and glass tops.

2. Room Humidor

Room humidor is common in cigar bars or stores. In order to avoid bad taste of cigars; one room is converted to a humidor where cigars are stored at desired temperature and humidity.

3. Travel Humidor

It is a portable and ideal for carrying cigars enough for the outing or an event. Generally, a travel humidor may carry10 to 40 cigars.

4. Personal Humidor

Personal humidors are like travel humidors as both are small humidors and can be used for special events. It holds up to 75 (sometimes even more) cigars. However, the average casual smoker needs to have a humidor that may comprise up to 100 cigars.

Maintenance of Humidor

For getting ideal results, it is pertinent to maintain your humidor below the maximum temperature of 73°F (23°C) and between 65-74% humidity. In fact, suitable conditions are 70°F (21°C) and 70% humidity to keep your cigars healthy. Generally, it is recommended to have a digital hygrometer/thermometer to better control the temperature and humidity inside your humidor.
