He showed that analysis of the ratio between the\nGMI and the price of gold bullion could establish favorable and unfavorable outlooks for the direction of gold stocks\nand gold bullion. Nelson Freeburg modified Kaeppel's method, which he referred to as the K-ratio, and developed\na trading system for the gold stock's group. The following discussion details Freeburg's precious metals switch fund\nsystem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first step in the trading system is to calculate the K-ratio. The K-ratio is the GMI, found on the \"Commodities\nand Financial Futures\" page in Barron's , divided by the price of gold. The specific price is the Handy \u0026amp; Harmon\nquote listed on Barron's \"Market Laboratory Economic Indicators\" page. This ratio is used as the key indicator for\nthe trading system, which is actually a dual band model.","brand":"store-traders-com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52133794644337,"sku":"\\V14\\C10\\SIDEKRA.PDF","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/3843\/6209\/files\/unnamed_e3fd1532-b781-4995-858a-79963c07f074.jpg?v=1739652693","url":"https:\/\/shop.traders.com\/products\/v14-c10-sidekra-pdf","provider":"Stocks \u0026 Commodities","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
