Some Predictions for 2024...Gold? Japan? And Japan Sells More Diapers To Seniors Than Infants

Good morning everyone…
Before I get started…big shoutout to portfolio company Grass Clippings for making Golf Magazine’s ‘Top 12 Courses The Staff Can’t Wait To Play in 2024’.
Onward…
Yesterday I screwed up and shared lengthy rambling notes at the end of my newsletter. I forgot to edit them out. Now you know a little mole about my process of just banging away at my keyboard with a flow of consciousness when it happens and that I go back and clean up later.
Here is the post again on ‘predictions’ without all the notes at the end.
As I mentioned yesterday, I am spending the rest of the week extrapolating trends (making predictions). Of course I will dive deeper into these in our weekly Trends With Friends Podcast that I post here and YouTube each Saturday.
I will give you two technical ones that are boring but could work well…
Gold
Good Morning!
It has been a quiet week in markets but gold is trying its best to make things interesting
Gold futures are approaching a critical resistance level that it has already attempted to break through earlier this month. Is now the time for the bulls to follow through?

Japan
As we approach 2024 one of my favorite trades for the upcoming year is long Japanese equity indexes - Nikkei, Topix. Nikkei displays right angled broadening pattern $N225M

Speaking of Japan, my friend Ram (we are investors in his company Lumida Wealth and his weekly investing FREE newsletter is fantastic) mentioned an interesting factoid about Japan as explained ‘Thematic Investing’ last week.
Japan Sells More Diapers To Seniors Than They Do Infants
The good news for me is the technology, design and fit will be fantastic when I am ready for them in 10-12 years!
Finally today…
On a more serious ‘life is precious’ and sadder note…
I need to share another heartbreaking story from October 7th because they are coming fast and furious as I follow more and more Israeli people and friends on Twitter.
Have a great day and be nice.
