Precious Hour With TraderStef

Welcome to a precious hour of time well spent for news gormandizers that keep a finger on the pulse of global markets for risk management in trading or investment portfolios. The blog features fusion technical analysis for the investor or trader that follows gold and silver, precious metals mining stocks, general stock market equities and indices, and thoughtful commentary on current affairs that overlap financial market conditions.

A trading workshop focused on technical analysis for one-on-one and groups is available in a webinar-style remote room to explore new strategies for the investing toolbox, especially for beginners or the intermediate level trader/investor. You will find realistic and reasonable analysis focused on profit and capital preservation based on market conditions and price action with proven methods to execute low-risk entries.

Exclusive articles or charting are available by request. An archive of interviews and miscellaneous topics found in the blog are available at YouTube. In the meantime follow @TraderStef on X for real-time updated charts and commentary, peruse my bio, and add an email address for article notifications via the “follow” button on the right sidebar.

The most recent live talk-radio interview was in Apr. 2022 as I’m on hiatus from interviews but plan to return.
