More Weakness Ahead in Gold Stocks

Penned Friday morning before the end of day strength. If there is no follow through over the next few days and Clinton wins the election then we could get another selloff. 

Interview with Korelin Economics Report

Interview was conducted mid-week. I share my thoughts on the sector. 10-15 minutes and the link is directly to the mp3. 

Video: One Gold Relationship You Should Watch

We are a big fan of intermarket analysis and you know that we track Gold's performance against a number of assets and markets. In this video we discuss which one is most important in the months ahead. 

November Macro Update

From the excellent Fat-Pitch Blog. The subtitle is "Wage Growth Accelerates but Weakness Creeps In." There are a number of charts here from which you can draw your own conclusions. 

Connecting the Dots: Gold, Stocks, Bonds, US$ 

The latest post from Erik Swartz at Market Anthropology. I don't always agree with him but he turned bearish on Gold in 2011, then bullish in 2015. He's very sharp and uses analog charts.

Premium Snippets

Chart 1: Gold vs. Equities

In this chart we plot Gold and Gold against various equity markets such as global equities (ACWI), US equities (NYSE) and Emerging Markets.

Note how each ratio recently held and rebounded from important support (the 400-day moving average). And note how the moving averages are now sloping upward. This recent action serves as confirmation of the new uptrend in the Gold vs. Equities relationship. 


 


Chart 2: Junior Gold Index Bull Analog

In our premium update we noted that the current correction (black) is quite similar to the 2001 correction in price and potentially time.

In daily closing terms, the index corrected 26.5% in 2001 and the correction lasted anywhere from 5 to 6.5 months depending on where you measure it. Thus far this correction has lasted 3 to 4 months (depending on where) and has corrected 24.5% in price. At the least look for the correction in time to continue another 2-3 months. The index gained over 200% in 6 months. That is going to take more than 3 to 4 months to correct.  
 






Late Saturday evening we sent TDG #490, a 34-page update. We covered the usual along with an updated report on one of our smaller positions, an exploration company that has made a major discovery. We are considering adding to the position.  

Gold is showing good relative strength right now and that is what we want to see after a corrective phase begins. It is ready to outperform equities again and its looking strong against foreign currencies. This being said, if inflation and inflation expectations continue to rise then the most important ratio in the months to come will be Gold against Bonds. We show that ratio chart in the video and it has a clear resistance level that if and when broken in Gold's favor, will be a key development in the next leg of the bull market.

With respect to the miners we think more weakness is coming at somepoint be it in price or in time. The correction figures to continue for at least a few more months. The current rebound could continue but we'd look for a retracement before the correction ends. Or the rebound could fizzle out, perhaps if Clinton wins the election and that could lead to a buying opportunity potentially at the end of the month or in early December, before the rate hike.

In any case, we periodically evaluate our positions, hold our winners and dump our losers or weakest positions.   

Consider subscribing to our premium service for less than $1/day.

Our service is tailored for precious metals investors who seek market timing and fundamental analysis of junior companies poised to outperform.


Since the summer of 2009, our model portfolio is up 365%. During the same period, GDX is down 34%, GDXJ is down an estimated 39%, the Tocqueville Gold Fund is flat, our Junior Gold Index is up 77% and Gold is up only 33%. This period includes the worst and longest bear market of the past 90 years!

We seek to own the companies with the best fundamentals that have the best risk/reward potential. We want to own the leaders while avoiding laggards with limited potential. We also want to cut our losses. A 20% stop loss on a 5% position limits the loss to 1% of the portfolio.

We are the only credentialed technical analyst (CMT, MFTA) with a gold-stock focused service that utilizes a real model portfolio. We tell you what we are buying and selling. Hence, we are completely transparent.
