I was planning selling you a new service, but after going to a marketing conference this weekend decided to just give you what I was planning on selling to you.

Yesterday we saw a big move in gold and gold stocks as the metal rallied over 25 points despite all of the talk and predictions for a huge dollar rally that is supposed to cause a stock market crash. I told you last week that now is the time to buy stocks and not sell them and I believe that even more now.

Yesterday we saw all three market averages fall hard after six days of selling. In fact the S&P 500 has fallen over 6% from its recent high and managed to close Wednesday right below its 50-day moving average.

Dave Skarica and I did this radio interview for Howestreet.com that aired in Canada last week. In it we talked about gold and the US dollar and the market trends we expect to make money in going forward. Towards the end though the interviewer got us into a good discussion about investing principles in general and what it is like to interview an advisory service. It's a good interview.

The DOW just crossed over the 10,000 market. I think this is another confirmation that the bull market is still on and even with a little set back here or there is going to continue higher the rest of this year.

Last March gold stock expert Dave Skarica and I put on an investment conference/seminar for our subscribers in the Bahamas were he lives. Over 50 people came from all over the world and the event was a huge success. In fact it was so big that we are getting together to plan one with even more speakers and an extra day.

This week we are going to see the start of earnings season as Alcoa reports earnings on Wednesday, but earnings won't really heat up until next week when large numbers of companies start to report.

Next Monday I'm going to release a free mini-course on how to find stocks that double in value. When I first started out in the stock market I lost half of my money until I sat down and figured out how to buy stocks that go up. I did a careful study of the stocks that went up the most and looked for their most common characteristics and then simply looked for stocks trading now that had them.

I don't know if you remember but a week ago I sent you a post saying gold was breaking 1000 an ounce and about to begin another leg of its bull run. Well as I type this its now trading at 1020 an ounce and the gold stocks are going nuts. Of course it may not open there, but that is where it is at 6:00 AM EST.

Gold is clearly headed to 1000 an ounce now. Last week we saw a key breakout in both gold and gold stocks, with many gold stocks up over 15% in just the past two trading sessions. The HUI and XAU both closed at new highs for the year last week too.
