I’m Starting To Sell, Not Chase

February 9, 2016 /47 Comments/in /by

What a rocket ship ride Miners have been on.  Buying the lows has brought about some huge gains for some, and I had encouraged not selling too early with this type of set up.  Now it is time to start thinking about locking in gains, and not chasing these moves.  A pull back will come and that may lead to a buying opportunity.

.

GDX - And we have a shooting star/reversal candle in  GDX and many of the Miners. A pull back usually follows.

GDX 2-8 at 15

 

NEM - I was looking at that large base and encouraging those holding a Miner like this that it may not be time to sell yet,  just because the 200sma usually acts as resistance. This could keep running.

NEM 2-1

NEM - But now one has to start seeing this straight up move as a time to at least start locking in partial profits, and using a trailing stop on the rest.

NEM 2-8

PUBLIC REPORT- Time For GOLD?

February 8, 2016 in /by

If you are new here, please feel free to read my last 3 public reports under this blog tab.   They are Gold & Precious Metals reports, and I alerted my premium readers to those lows as they happened.   That was for short term trading, and I was expecting possibly a 2 month rally.    I have also been analyzing many details at these lows to see whetherit is possible that THE BEAR MARKET LOWS in Gold could be in place at this time.     I am not a constant Gold Bull, but I did do very well from 2000 to 2012 in that sector and have been looking forward to another possible leg higher after this 4+ yr bear market correction.

.

To review -  We just saw a classic shake out in Miners that had many going short expecting a crash.  This was running the stops on 6 Months of trading at the lows.

GDX WKLY 1-22

GOLD PART 2 – IN Search Of A Bottom

February 8, 2016 /112 Comments/in /by

This is part 2 of the special weekend report discussing how we Search for a possible bottom in Gold. This half of the report will include many more charts with just the facts of what is happening in many areas.   Again, these facts keep both Bull and Bears unbiased.  They also indicate that GOLD may already be hammering in a bottom.  Miners especially have the hallmarks of a longer term low in place.

.

This chart adds to out last discussion in part 1 and my Big Picture view that I have been pointing out for months now. I pointed this out in this DEC 11 chart .  It shows that with the SPX bull market , and the bear market in Gold, we have repeatedly seen Gold ICL'S ( deep trade-able  lows) and also Golds Bear Market Rally Peaks  moving inverse to  The SPX .  I drew this to make that clear.

T= a TOP  &  ICL = A LOW

 

SPX RATIO VS GOLD

 .

I also said that I would be looking for a break down in this area ( A change). Here is my updated chart

GOLD SPX 2-6

GOLD PART 1 – In Search Of A Bottom

February 6, 2016 /12 Comments/in /by

  I believe that Gold is in a 3 phase bull market, with 2 phases already behind us.  After a 4+ yr bear market, there are finally solid signs of a bottom , in many different areas.   There is no gain in clinging to a bias, that is how one loses money in the markets,  but by gathering important relevant facts  you can develop a check list and watch as necessary things begin falling into place ( or not).   JUST THE FACTS.   Currently I see things falling into place, indicating  that  THE bottom is either already in place, or very close. This bear market may be coming to an end,  and catching the recent lows has already been very profitable.  Riding a renewed Bull will be very rewarding.  We will look at " Just the facts"  here in our extended weekend report. To the charts...

.

First a review of recent bullish expectation in Miners: 

.

REVIEW- In the last 2 weekend reports we watched the HUI & GDX in the bigger time frame. This is a monthly chart of HUI, on the edge of an important break out. It has spent 6 MONTHS at the lows,  a solid base on prior support. Today the HUI is near $150.  A break out.

HUI MONTHLY 3

  GDX  reversed from below  $12.50 and also looked ready to break out above from a 7 month base. Above $15-$16 is important.  It is now at $17 as of Feb 5. 🙂

GDX MONTHLY

We need to look at a lot more than just the Miners and Precious Metals, however. Currencies come into play, along with a variety of other influences, so we'll examine the Metals now, historically , and other factors that can indicate where we are in the process of a 3 phase bull market...

PUBLIC POST – A GOLD REPORT

February 5, 2016 /11 Comments/in /by

I am currently doing several studies with very bullish implications for the GOLD & SILVER market.  Some areas that I have been tracking for months have been published here in the public area too.  Right now I see things that indicate that we could be very close or, or even experiencing the bear Market Lows,  and I will be writing about it in my weekend report.   Yes, I know that everyone is waiting for sub $1000 gold to buy, but everyone doesn't always get what they want in the markets, do they?  Could it be that they will be left behind, waiting?     No Bias, No Gold Bug Fever, No Emotions, my report will cover just some facts.    Let me explain...

.

Notice this interesting occurrence for a change

.

The HUI has had bear mkt rally after bear market rally since 2012, but each 'cycle' could not surpass the last one from low to high.   Lower highs and lower lows is a down trend.   THIS CHART is a first, and it is just 1  sign of change to cheer about.  We'll zoom in...
