I didnt plan on talking about Gold & Miners but…

March 27, 2014 /5 Comments/in , /by

March 27, 2014     Yesterday I got a few emails asking what I thought about the meltdown in Miners. I cant say it wasnt expected, but I can say it was faster and steeper than I expected. On March 20th , we saw a "THRUST" in the price of Miners, but it quickly failed and broke below our consolidation triangle.  That means further downside....However I thought we would get a "TEST" of the Triangle and then continue down as seen in this chart of GDX from March 20

 

GDX March 20

 

The "TEST" was QUICK (Intraday) and the drop has been fast and on High volume, as seen in Todays chart.

 

 

GDX March 26

 

How far will it drop? Are we at support?  Is selling done? And  IS that an Inverse H&S forming?

Just a couple of Trade ideas

March 25, 2014 /4 Comments/in , /by

March 25, 2014    Today I just wanted to look at a couple of charts that look to have decent low risk set ups.

  Low risk, of course, means that if one enters a trade, they also know where to set stops (according to each ones "risk parameter") , and if the stock doesnt do what we thought it would from here,  exit and re-assess. Please use stops.

 I still like all of the set ups on our STEEL STOCKS and I still own   X and AKS , They probably will not move straight up, but they are still acting correctly and may be forming the right side of a CUP

AKS MARCH 25

Here are a few other ideas...

MARCH 23, 2014   No one actually predicts with 100% accuracy what the markets will do next, but with a little help from the charts, we may gain some idea of a likely path they'll take. In the last Report the $USD "Popped" and I mentioned that it may pause when it got to the 50sma & go sideways (Chart 1), before resuming higher. So far - that is playing out (Chart 2). What could that mean...?

When the markets turn fast, we have to try to keep pace. Yesterday during the Fed commentary , The U.S. Dollar took a sharp turn, and Equities, Treasuries, Commodities and so on were shaking it up a bit too. Lets Start with the dollar...

Two stocks appealing

March 17, 2014 /2 Comments/in , /by

I'm Still liking Rare Earth set ups( See  QRM, AVL, REE,MCP ) as mentioned in a prior post. They have "Based out" and look to be moving above( and some have finding support above) their Moving averages .

I also like some of the energy stocks like AXAS , MNGA, & a few others are starting to look good.

Let me highlight 2 stocks and why I like them.  SHLO  and MNGA
