Not long ago, the Gold and precious metals market looked ready to surprise some of us Gold Bulls and do a face plant into the concrete. Just as things started to look dicey, we got faked-out and called for a move into cash (http://markostake.blogspot.com/2010/03/gold-market-update-time-to-go-to-cash.html).
Now it looks like Gold has pulled off a stunningly successful "double-reverse". For those not familiar with football parlance, a double-reverse is a manoeuver designed to switch directions twice in one play. First, the play has you looking right, then left, then right again. If you don't know its coming, you get faked out of your shoes.
And so it appears with Gold and Precious Metals stocks. Just as it looked like we would get a completely surprising market reversal to the downside, the market held, gathered strength and now all signs point to a renewal of the upside hyperbolic mania that we were looking for all along.
All the market did was what it was SUPPOSED to do. Like an illusionist, it diverted our attention while it pulled of its seemingly amazing trick.
The GOOD news is that re-entry here with Gold near the $1,125-$1,130 level leaves PLENTY of upside, especially if our longer-term projection of $5,000 is met. The important thing is not to fall in love with either a market outlook or individual postions and stay with the "weight of the evidence". That evidence now is screaming BUY again.
Especially telling was the sudden surge in the Gold Bugs index on Thursday, also known as the HUI. The HUI surged a whopping 5% indicating an investor stampede back into precious metals stocks. In additon, some key chart patterns were resolved in a bullish manner. Can't fight the tape!
So, now that the market has successfully faked us out, it's time to re-enter. We did a series, a couple of weeks back on a number of promising stocks and we would suggest a review of these if you're interested in selecting some appropriate candidates. The links are provided below.

In the days ahead, we'll cover more individual stocks of interest.
For now, ignore last week's man behind the curtain, and listen to THIS WEEK'S man behind the curtain!
There's a great opportunity looming ahead of us and lot's of time to board the train and enjoy a great ride.

Marko,
ReplyDeleteagree with you 100% .I think a lot of the turn around in the gold/silver sentiment the last week is from the CFTC hearings .The CFTC will do nothing, but GATA's bombshell about the whistle blower ,and his interview with Eric King ,and Adrian Douglas's testimony at the hearings about LBMA that it is a fractional reserve scam. This was
confirmed by Jeffery Christian of CPM group who affirmed that the ratio of
gold sold to physical metal is 100:1. Who would have believed that one of
GATA’s staunchest enemies should inadvertently agree with him and that it
should be captured on government video record!Even though the U.S press has ignored this, the rest of the world has not, especially the people involved in the gold trade .The gold /silver cartels's days are going to be over hopefully very soon
RD:
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of GATA and Bill Murphy's tireless efforts. I know he has been steadfast and resolved. I think the cartel will be unable to contain the mania that is upon is. They will scream uncle and the banks that are short will have a lot 'splaining to do when they mark their short books to market.
