Ahh the sweet smell of recovery! It’s “official Bernanke said so and so did MSNBC. I don’t think we are anywhere close to being out of the woods yet. To many shoes still dropping. Mortgage Resets, Commercial Real Estate, the number of banks failing each month, and the U.S. Dollar; just to name a few. Oops, can’t forget Inflation, oops hyper-inflation. Hey, we haven’t even gotten to the world political climate; i.e. Iran, N. Korea, Israel, and Afghanistan; to name a few more. Where are the contrarians? What happened to astute investing? When is Geitner going to turn off the printing press? When is China going to fire back in the trade war and just say no to one of the next treasury auctions? If that happened for 1-2 auctions how do you think the market will react? Personally, I think we are dead in the eye of the hurricane of economic malestrom. I remember reading early this year this is the exact blueprint of the Bilderberger Plan, allow the stock market to get to pre-crash levels, suck in all the investors back into the market and then pull the plug. I am not wearing a tin foil hat either… research this out for yourself (Google Bilderberger’s and another good source is Alex Jones Infowar site.) I also find it very interesting no news from the latest G-20 meeting. Plus the BRIC countries are very silent, can you imagine if China convinced those countries to side with them in a trade war? Don’t get me wrong I want to be out of the recession too. However, when everyone is saying Buy, it is usually the time to Sell. I think the DJI still has more room 9750 is the first major resistance, next 9850, and then no man’s land at 10,000 and above. I don’t think we will quite get there (DJI 10,000), but since we are in the head building phase of the head and shoulders formation on the charts it could conceivably happen. So since there are some good stocks still out there, due due diligence, keep your stops tight within 10-18%. I know I would rather take 60-80% off the table in profits than ride the elevator back down.

Gold for the 3rd day has held above $1000, it doesn’t surprise me. Okay we now have support at $998-$1000 for gold. The first resistance is te $1011 double top, when that falls, next stop $1020, and then the assault on the all time high of $1033. Silver already is at it’s high for the year and the sky is the limit. First of all with the euphoria over the “recession is over gang” will mean a perceived and partially real rnewed industrial demand for both Silver and Copper too.. However, when Gold takes out it’s all time high, I think there will be a massive influx of money into Silver the “Poor Man’s Gold”. Silver at $25oz before the end of the year and Gold at $1250- $1325. I have been accumulating both and also own the core major Silver and Gold producers. I have have mid-tier and junior producers and a few good ‘explorer’s too! This is not to “toot my horn”, but to implore you to join me. Get in now, and hang on for the ride of your life!

Wednesday Outlook: No Speed Bumps in Sight? – Seeking Alpha

By: David Fry of ETF Digest

September 15, 2009

NO SPEED BUMPS IN SIGHT?

This rally has only modest volume (although more today) and positive major news remains thin but always “better than expected” (Retail Sales and Empire State Manufacturing Survey). But, hey, Bernanke postulates that the recession is “likely over.” Now, who the hell knew that?! Geithner was more equivocal in his comments saying a “true recovery still has a ways to go.” Well, okay, let’s just say things are better than before.

Volume increased on an up day for a change but some of this is misleading given one glance at the late day trading on the 5 minute SPY chart. Breadth however was positive but not overwhelmingly so.

click to enlarge

“Today is the last trading day for VIX SEPT options, with the cash settlement price disseminated tomorrow morning off the CBOE SPX option volatility calculation. The open interest in the SEPT 25 puts is a staggering 188k, watch for the underlying to lift higher and migrate to this strike during the course of the trading session. Dealers are long this strike due to a series of put butterflies (SEPT 22.5,25,27.5) purchased by customers the past 10 days.” This per our friend, Scott Larison, Managing Director, Options Sales and Strategy, Forefront Advisory in New York.

Retail Sales were “better than expected” causing true believers in Chucky, the Consumer you can’t kill, to go on another shopping spree. You were out there shopping right?

We have quad-witching ahead and some of today’s action is no doubt linked to getting out of the way and manipulation with options and futures. This evening expiring September S&P futures are down a lot with rollover to December no doubt occurring. These are the types of the things that HAL 9000s live on.

There’s plenty of momentum for bulls and there are times this does seem unstoppable. Funny thing, sometimes this is just when things get upended.

One thing markets like is Washington gridlock and the most overexposed president in history is helping with it. He might do a little better if he gave us and his teleprompter a break. That’s just my opinion.

Let’s see what happens.

It’s Jiffy Pop Time and the Gold market is just starting to pop, pop, pop. The heat is being generated by the whirring printing presses at the U.S. Treasury; which are running full steam ahead, unabated, and with no prospect of turning them off. This forms the stove with Inflation, (soon to be Hyper-Inflation) are the burners, blazing red hot. Extra energy is coming from the falling dollar and rising prices/Inflation regardless of what the manipulated Government reports may say. True Inflation right now is approximately 18%+. The tin foil on the Jiffy Pop is starting to rise and Gold has closed today at an 18 month high. We are moving out of the deflation stage and into the inflation stage, if Bernanke is truly dedicated to saving the U.S. economy the he need to tell Geitner to turn off the presses now. We have already doubled, no almost tripled the amount of dollars in circulation now; just in the last 8 months.

The popping is growing louder and mmm- the smell of fresh popped Jiffy Pop Popcorn. The heat is high and I hope you are on the right side of the markets- especially Gold and Precious Metals and in Stocks. For Gold in the coming week I fully expect we will take out the $1033 high. I would not be upset if we built a base down here around $1000 – $1015 during the next few days and closing out next week at $1025 – $1040. This thrust will take us up to $1075- $1100 Then a retracement to back to $1025-$1033 before taking out $1100; and then getting to $1250 – $1300 by the end of the year. We will see a futile attempt to prop up the U.S. Dollar but there is nothing they can do short of raising Interest rates which will sink the fledgling recovery. Oil wil come back and take out first $75 a barrel and then $100 a barrel by the end of the year.

On stocks, I made a mistake on the wave/formation pattern, I still feel we are in the process of creating a head and shoulders top, the exception is that we are still forming the head. I think we will top out the head at DJI 9750- 9800. From there it will be a vicious drop off the cliff preceded by a short right shoulder buildup. I think the big crash is going to occur very soon in the next few weeks. Keep your stops very tight and get ready to play the downside.

I initiated two positions Thurs late afternoon, I bought (DGP) at 2245 and I sold (DGZ) at $22.60. I am getting ready to buy Dec call options for (GLD) and (RGLD) on Monday. You can follow my trades on twitter right after I initiate them.

Four Keys To Gold’s Next Move – Seeking Alpha

By Jeffrey Nichols of Nichols On Gold

Gold may have moved too high too soon . . . but whether or not the metal manages to recoup and hold onto recent gains near or above the $1000 an ounce level in the days immediately ahead . . . we are nevertheless looking for new highs (above $1032) in the closing months of the year with gold possibly at $1200 or $1300 before the New Year.

Key One: India

I’ve just returned from India, one of the most crucial markets for gold with a long history and big appetite for the yellow metal. What happens next for gold may depend most on the strength — or weakness — of Indian buying. And, Indian buying is both price sensitive and in sync with various holidays, festivals, and the wedding seasons.

With current rupee-denominated prices near historic highs, many are waiting either for a correction or evidence of staying power before returning to the market for new purchases. And while festival and wedding-related buying is expected later this month, the two-week period up to September 19th is considered inauspicious for gold purchases and many potential buyers will wait until later in the month.

If gold can remain near $1000 for the next week or two, giving Indians a sense of confidence that the price is not about to retreat, we can imagine stronger buying interest sufficient to get the price moving toward its previous historic peak and beyond into uncharted territory.

Key Two: China

Official — but unreported — buying on behalf of the central bank and possibly the country’s sovereign wealth fund, the China Investment Corporation, is being joined by growing private-sector demand for both investment bars and jewelry.

Press reports suggest that the Chinese government has adopted a new — more positive — attitude toward private-sector buying of both gold and silver. With China now the number one gold-mining country, it is in their interest to see a higher gold price as long as demand can be satisfied by domestic mine production and scrap reflows. Additionally, it has been suggested that the new pro-gold policy is intended to channel speculative funds away from real estate and equity investments.

The recently announced agreement for the People’s Bank of China to purchase from the International Monetary Fund about $50 billion in SDR-denominated, IMF-issued interest-bearing securities has also contributed to the latest round of dollar selling . . . and, to the extent that dollar weakness is a plus for gold, this has also supported the early September gold rally.

Key Three: Barrick

Barrick Gold’s (ABX) smart move to buy back its gold hedge position provided a temporary booster shot that helped propel the yellow metal through the $1000 an ounce barrier.

If I remember correctly, as of midyear, Barrick — the world’s largest gold-mine producer — had about 168 tons of gold outstanding on its hedge book . . . and would have to buy back this quantity to regain full exposure to future gold-price moves.

Anticipating an announcement effect, Barrick most likely accelerated its gold repurchase program in the days leading up to the September 7th announcement and probably paused to let the market recover from the news and prices to back off a bit before it resumes its repurchase program. With another tranche still to be repurchased in the months ahead, I expect Barrick to buy into price weakness, helping to underpin the price at moments of weakness.

Key Four: Monetary Factors

Of course, clients and readers of NicholsOnGold know that we think U.S. monetary policy and money supply growth are the primary determinants of U.S. price inflation, U.S. dollar performance, and the future price of gold. Last weekend’s communique from the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors was a reminder that monetary stimulus is likely to stay for some time. This — along with last week’s report from the United Nations critical of the U.S. dollar’s roll as a global reserve asset — has pushed the dollar lower in foreign-exchange markets to the benefit of gold.

If you haven’t already read the full text of my speech to the 6th Annual India International Gold Convention in Goa, India last week, I suggest you take a look for more about gold’s supply/demand situation, important changes in central bank gold policies, and implications of U.S. monetary policy.

How to Trade Natural Gas, Crude Oil and Gold ETF Funds – Seeking Alpha

By: Chris Vermeulen of The Gold and Oil Guy

How to trade hot commodities like natural gas, oil and gold? We should see big moves in the coming weeks as gas bottoms, and oil and gold breakout or breakdown. A lot of money is going to be exchanging hands quickly and the key is to be on the receiving end of things. Below are some charts showing where these commodities are trading.

How to Trade Gold – Weekly Chart

How I trade gold is relatively straight forward. I use a simple trading model which allows me to identify the down side risk for a potential gold trade. I also use the same model for trading oil, gas and silver.

Beyond finding good entry points, it is crucial to know when to take some profits off the table. The weekly gold chart clearly shows gold trading at a resistance level which means there are going to be more sellers than buyers, hence the reason it is called resistance.

To trade gold I enter with my low risk entry points and sell half my position once I reach a resistance level. Thursday for example gold moved up into this long term resistance level and then started to head south. We took some profits off the table before gold dipped in the late afternoon for a healthy gain. Taking profits is a must or you’ll simply hold onto winning positions until they eventually turn into a loser.

How to Trade Crude Oil – Weekly Chart

Trading crude oil is exciting because it moves much faster than gold. How to trade crude oil with low risk can be done by using my simple trading model which is a combination of indicators like momentum, support & resistance, volume, price patterns and media coverage. All these things combined allow for highly accurate trades with minimal down side risk.

Crude oil looks ready to make a big move. The odds are pointing to higher prices because oil has a multi month bullish price action and the falling US dollar helps increase the price of oil. I can see oil breakout and rally into the $95 per barrel level if things go that way in the coming weeks.

How to Trade Oil (USO Fund) – Weekly Chart

USO tracks similarly to the price of crude oil and it provides some great trades for both swing traders and day traders. I focus on trades that bounce off support with low downside risks, which occur on both the daily and weekly charts.

How to Trade Natural Gas – Weekly Chart

Natural gas is looking ready to bottom here. If you go back to the early 90’s the $2-3 range is a major support level. While I don’t generally try to pick bottoms, there are some signature price patterns and volume patterns that have proven to be very profitable for catching sharp bounces.

How to Trade Natural Gas – Daily Chart

The daily chart shows a perfect waterfall sell off with the price of natural gas dropping to a long term support level. This pattern combination shows panic selling which indicates a short term bottom is close.

The extreme panic selling and sharp decline in price, removes much of the down side risk. Scaling into a position over a few days, if the price continues to move lower, is important for this strategy to work its magic.

The black horizontal lines show my resistance levels for taking profits. If the price were to drop below $10 then I would exit the second half of the position to lock in the rest of the profit.

How to Trade Commodities Conclusion:

Trading commodities is very simple with all the ETFs and funds available. The energy funds like oil and gas have some issues with following the prices of their underlying commodity but I do not find it a problem with my style of trading.

I would really like to know the entire story about what is going on with the oil and nat gas funds which have crazy contango issues. Why do other commodity funds like GLD (gold bullion) and SLV (silver bullion) not have these issues? Why can’t they make a fund which follows oil and gas properly? All I know is that there are a lot of dishonest people in the financial industry taking honest hard working peoples’ money.

Look at Gold go! I have been telling, no pleading with you to get on board the Gold train for the last 2 months or longer. Hope you hopped aboard. Now Gold is at a key testing point. If we can successfully close above, and hold above $1000 then we definitely will be off to setting a new all time high for Gold. What will happen this time is that we will see a concentrated efforts by the Big 3 Shorts to push Gold down back to at least $950. If that does happen do not be alarmed, Gold will come roaring back. We will see Gold at $1250 to $1325 by the end of the year. I think we are going to take out $1034-36 high and go to $1080 to $1150. Then we will have a retracement back to $1000 to $980. Then we will start leg number 2 and zip up to $1250 with the rally going strong thru December. There is still plenty time to get in and plenty of undervalued Gold and Silver producers. Don’t forget to add some Platinum/Palladium producers as well like (PAL) and (ANO). I will be putting up a portfolio list in the next week of companies I am personally invested in. Also for some quick bang for the buck without the total risk you may want to look at (DGP) an ETF which gives you 2x times the future price gain.

As for stocks we are now forming the right shoulder of the head and shoulders top formation, expect choppy, whipsaw action as the beleagured bulls try to hang on. However they (the Bulls) will run out of energy and the market is getting ready to collapse. A close below 9300 will signal the beginning of the failure. Below 9250 will confirm, and absolute confirmation with a close below 9000. I do think tomorrow (Fri) we have a chance of seeing 9400-9425 and then start a gradual decline accelerating at the end of next week. As always Great Investing! – jschulmansr

Well the dog days of summer are over and September is blowing in. As the brilliant colors of autumn are starting to bloom with the leaves turning orange, gold and crimson; the leaves are starting to drop. That’s not all that is starting to fall, stocks are beginning their seasonal drop. If you haven’t taken profits please do so. We will see one more push up in stocks as they form the right shoulder of the head and shoulders formation on the chart. We have just finished the head with the right shoulder to follow (DJIA). 9200 (DJIA) is the first support, next roughly 9125-9080. A decisive break below the 50 day moving average or 9000 will be absolute confirmation of the new bear market downtrend. Commercial real estate is one of the next factors (shoe) about to drop. In addition the tax break for buying a new home is about to end, and the auto industry will not have cash for clunkers to fall back on. Late Breaking China has said NO to Credit derivatives and any losses from them. This is definitely not good for the US markets. So get rid of your more speculative stocks move to good yielding stocks in industries that people have to buy the products in good times or bad times. On the rest move your stops very close w/in 10% trailing. Maybe also look at selling covered calls or puts to lock in profits and earn a little income on the side.

Gold and Precious metals are coiled up ready to spring dramatically to the upside. Countdown is almost over, ignition commencing. We have a nice little triangle in Gold. Personally, I feel we will see the breakout to the upside after a little false breakout to the downside. In other words I fell it will go down like this, first we will see Gold test the $930 level as the Big 3 shorts make one more desperate effort to save themselves. However I feel that Gold will hold and climb back to $950 and then break above $965. When that happens the next resistance will be $980, then $1000, and then a 2nd test for the all time high at $1032. I think it will successfully break that level and hit at least $1250 before the end of the year with a potential to actually hit $1325. Keep accumulating companies with a low cost of production, junior and mid tier producers with current or about to start production. There are still many bargains which I will start featuring here on the blog.

I apologize for the recent lack of posts over the past month. Since I lost my day job, I decided to go back to school again so to speak by taking a few intensive trading and technical analysis courses to refresh up again. Since my new job will be trading the markets, I will be sharing my picks and option trades, forex trades, along with choice stock picks. Wishing all of us Great Investing! -jschulmansr

John Licata Still Eyeing $1200 Gold in 2009 – GoldSeek.com

Bullish on gold since it carried a $400-per-ounce price tag, Blue Phoenix Chief Investment Strategist John Licata expects the king of metals to ring in the New Year with a $1,200-per-ounce crown. As he told The Gold Report in April, he still considers gold one of the best asset plays in the world. With recovery on the horizon, he’s also high on silver—in part because a pickup in manufacturing will drive up demand. While he says it’s premature to claim economic recovery, he isn’t looking to copper to serve as the traditional harbinger of a return from recession this time. His rationale? Good economic news—while too inconsistent to make recovery imminent—is already baked in to copper’s climb already this year.

The Gold Report: You weren’t too bullish on seeing a recovery in 2009 when we caught up with you in April. We’ve seen some good Q2 reporting from a variety of companies and some encouraging economic data. The government is starting to claim we’re in recovery. What’s your take on this?

John Licata: I do think we’ve seen some better domestic economic data, but it’s premature to think we’re totally out of the woods. In terms of corporate earnings, a lot of company profits might have surprised to the upside, but they’re still down 50% to 70% from quarters before or the prior year.

Many companies have been trying to compare Q1 and Q2. You’re still not seeing dramatic differences to the upside. Quite frankly, some companies are still living within cash flow and I think that’s one of the reasons why we could have a problem with supply and demand imbalances as we come to the end of 2009 and enter 2010.

Unemployment is likely to keep rising. Although the last numbers were much better than anticipated, I don’t think we’ve seen the green light that will cause people to start hiring again. We could hit 10% unemployment by the end of the year, and that’s going to be a precursor to some weaker retail heading into the holiday season. Net-net, you probably could put the word ‘inconsistent’ toward most of the economic data coming out of the U.S.

The industrial numbers that came out of China a couple of weeks ago [August 10] were actually below expectations as well. While everyone wants to be bullish and the data is somewhat better than many expected, it’s still not great. So I think to claim victory right now is definitely premature.

TGR: You mentioned a supply-demand imbalance. What do you see on that front?

JL: Companies are not putting money back into infrastructure. For that reason, once demand actually starts to increase, supply levels will be shockingly different from what people might expect.

TGR: Are you differentiating between the BRIC countries and North America in that regard?

JL: I’m not just looking at the BRIC countries as the barometer for the economic pulse. I don’t even think China is the saving grace for commodities. But I do think what is going to be indicative for a recovery is to see demand pick up, to start seeing jobs pick up again, more consistently; not just one month out of six. We need to see consistent job growth.

TGR: When do you think demand might pick up?

JL: Q3, perhaps Q4, is when we probably can start seeing demand start picking up and I think that’s when we’re going to start to see overall a global economic recovery. I’m skeptical that it can happen before Q4.

TGR: Is that worldwide demand pickup you’re anticipating?

JL: I’m referring to North America.

TGR: Can demand pick up before unemployment abates?

JL: It can happen before, but I think demand and employment will increase in tandem.

TGR: In our previous conversation, you compared the investment opportunities in oil, natural gas and gold to one another. At this point, which of these three sectors do you think offer the greatest return?

JL: Because of the upside that I think could happen over the next 12 months, I would rate natural gas first, gold second and oil third. For right now, I’m conservatively optimistic on oil. Although short term we might have a pullback, I’m still bullish on the price of oil. I think oil will trade north of $80 by year end, and I think we’ll again see triple-digit oil within the next two years. A lot of major wells in the world are not as productive as they once were and when it comes to demand increasing because the overall economic health around the world is picking up, we could be in trouble in terms of supplies. That relates to the metals as well as energy.

TGR: Speaking of metals, your outlook for gold?

JL: I continue to maintain that we could see $1,200 gold prices by year-end. I think gold is very much on the way to hitting that pretty aggressive price target. The miners themselves seem pretty confident on the upside for gold.

TGR: In April, you described gold as one of the best asset plays in the world and your recommendation to investors was to focus initially on physical gold. Have you changed that viewpoint?

JL: No. I’ve been bullish on gold since it was below $400. But now I am starting to see some opportunities in the equity side of the gold market that are becoming very appealing and I didn’t see that when we last spoke.

TGR: Are you still bullish on platinum and palladium, too?

JL: I am still enthusiastic, but not as bullish on either of them just because we have seen a bit of a run since April. I’d rather be in silver. I think silver gets forgotten when we start talking about precious metals. As opposed to platinum or palladium, I would rather be in the silver space.

TGR: Is there anything in particular in silver that you’re finding appealing?

JL: I just think if we’re talking about an economic recovery in the back half of this year into 2010 and silver is mostly used for industrial purposes, I honestly think that silver prices are just forgotten. When people start talking about the inflation hedge, they jump into gold. If they start talking about the economy improving, they jump into copper. They tend to forget that silver is actually used for much manufacturing. So I think that is the forgotten metal and I do think that silver prices can move a lot higher, especially as gold prices march through $1,000.

TGR: As you say, people look to copper as the leading metal to point to in terms of a recovery. What’s your feeling about copper?

JL: You hit the nail on the head. Everyone starts to talk about copper, but nothing has jumped out at me to say that copper prices have much more upside. Copper prices are up nearly 100% year-to-date, so I think a lot of the recovery that many people are talking about has been priced in already.

The Baltic Dry Index, an index that just had the biggest monthly drop since October (down 28% in August), has been down because people fear that China might cut back on buying iron ore and coal. If that happens, copper prices won’t be immune. Copper supplies have been tight for the last couple of quarters. If anything, we’re trading about 35 cents or 40 cents above the recent 50-day moving average. I think copper is over-extended right now.

TGR: Any last comments before we meet again?

JL: Only that while it’s a difficult marketplace and I do expect tight markets around the world to continue, some of the plays we’ve talked about have the makings of a pretty successful portfolio.

The simple answer is yes. The key question is… are we going to test $1000 or back below $900? If you look at the daily charts Gold has been inching slowly upwards, the first resistance in $965, then a successful close above $980-$983, will confirm the upside new assault on $1000. I am still sticking to my prediction of Gold at $1250 by the end of the year.

The charts are almost indentical to 2007 before the big breakout, check it out for yourself. A major factor which few are talking about is any breakout above $1000 will cause a massive short squeeze or an even more massive loss for the Big 3 (banks) who are heavily short. Posistions starting as low as $750 -$800. Due to this there exists an even larger potential for Gold to actually go as high as $1500 by year end.

Silver on the other side is going to go to $25 by year end and an even bigger short squeeze potential exists in that market. By the way look for Crude oil to be at or above $100 barrel. The dollar is doomed either way and inflation will have accelerated to the 12%-15% range at about the same time.

I’ll update the stock markets tomorrow and even though I think we still a tiny bit of room to the upside as we finish “the head” of the head and shoulders pattern that has been forming. Keep your stop loss orders tight and as always, Good Investing! – jschulmansr

Why Gold ETFs Are All About Timing --- Seeking Alpha

By: Tom Lydon of ETF Trends


Investor sentiments change with the seasons and summer proved to be


a lackluster season for gold. Nevertheless, a new season may provide

gold and related ETFs with the opportunity to shine.

A recent dip in gold prices renewed fund manager interest in gold,


citing the pullback as a buying opportunity, remarks Dan Well for


MoneyNews.
 
Gold abated from its recent high of $992.10 an ounce on June 3, but


many investors still believe inflation will kick in sooner or later.

Some portfolio managers believe gold may even touch $1,300 as soon


as spring. Gold is a popular hedge in inflationary times.
 
In the short term, seasonal changes may be a significant factor in


gold’s decline. Historically, gold prices tend to dip during summer


because the period lacks big gift-giving holidays. But purchases of


gold-related products resume in the fall when the Indian wedding


season, Ramadan, Christmas, and the Chinese New Year kick in.
 
Many people don’t know how many ounces a bar of gold actually


contains, comments Jim Wang for Bargaineering. In Wang’s search for


the answer, he discovered that there’s really no standard when


referring to “gold bars.” There is, however, the “400 ounce London


Good Delivery.” At $946 an ounce, the price as of Aug. 11, one


hefty stick of gold comes to $378,704. Yowza.

The timer is ticking and drawing ever closer. The Markets are behaving just like I felt they would be. The (DJI) is making it’s final push while the broader market is starting to lag. We are almost at the top of the head in the head and shoulders pattern for the (DJI). Will it break 10,000? Personally I do not think so. The market rallied today on “funny” unemployment figures released by the government this morning. What happened to the 750,000 unemployed workers which have seemingly vanished? They certainly were not hired on new jobs! Where did they go? Add them back, you now have a more real picture of unemployment. Please keep your stop losses tight and be prepared to be stopped out.

Gold and Precious Metals… Like I said the timer is drawing down to zero. Keep accumulating and add on to your (DGP) positions too. Buy producers and those near production with proven reserves. I still see $1250 by year end for Gold, $25 for Silver and /or better! Buy now! Your Children and Grandchildren will Thank You! Another stock I like is Apollo Gold (AGT), they recently have started production and are ramping up for more. At .45 cents a share you can get a nice position for a small investment. Another “Buy and Forget”. By the way I still also feel Silver will outperform Gold on a percentage basis (see article below).

Have a Great Weekend, I will be resuming regular daily posts as soon as I have finished setting up a couple of new web sites. My other vocation, I am also an Internet Marketer. Remember, set up as many multiple income streams as you can. Good Investing! -jschulmansr

Insiders are Selling – MarketWatch

By: Mark Hulbert of Hulbert Financial Digest

ANNANDALE, Va. (MarketWatch) — Corporate insiders have recently been selling their companies’ shares at a greater pace than at any time since the top of the bull market in the fall of 2007.

Does that mean you should immediately start lightening your equity exposure?

It depends on whom you ask.

But, first, the data.

Corporate insiders are a company’s officers, directors and largest shareholders. They are required to report to the SEC whenever they buy or sell shares of their companies, and various research firms collect and analyze those transactions.

One is the Vickers Weekly Insider Report, published by Argus Research. In their latest issue, received Monday afternoon, Vickers reported that the ratio of insider selling to insider buying last week was 4.16-to-1, the highest the ratio has been since October 2007.

I don’t need to remind you that the 2002-2007 bull market topped out that month.

To be sure, the weekly insider data can be volatile, especially during periods like the summer, in which the overall volume of insider transactions can be quite light. That is one of the reasons why Vickers also calculates an eight-week average of the insider sell-to-buy ratio, and it currently stands at 2.69-to-1. That’s the highest that this eight-week ratio has been since November 2007.

To put the insiders’ recent selling into context, consider that in late April, the last time I devoted a column to the behavior of insiders (and when the rally that began on March 9 was still only six weeks old), the comparable eight-week sell-to-buy ratio was just 0.72-to-1. ( Read my April 27 column.)

Why, given this, shouldn’t we be running, not walking, to the exits?

May be you should, of course.

But, in deciding whether to do so, there are several other factors to consider.

The first reason to be at least a little bit skeptical of insiders’ current pessimism is that they, on balance, failed to anticipate the 2007-2009 bear market. On the contrary, as I reported on numerous occasions during that bear market, they were largely bullish throughout. The average recommended equity exposure of Vickers’ two model portfolios, for example, was around 90% from late 2007 through the early part of this year.

What makes insiders more worth listening to now than then?

It’s a fair enough question, of course. What those who are inclined to follow the insiders can say by way of response is that insiders, over the years, have been more right than wrong — even though by no means infallible.

Another reason not to immediately go to cash in response to insiders’ increased recent predisposition to sell their companies’ stock: They are often early.

In fact, Investors Intelligence, a newsletter edited by John Gray and Michael Burke, bases one of its market timing indicators on how the insiders were behaving 12 months previously.

A similar point was made earlier this week by Jonathan Moreland, editor of the Insider Insights newsletter. While acknowledging that recent insider behavior “seems totally inconsistent with this rally continuing unabated,” Moreland went on to argue that “it may take weeks or even months for insiders to be proven right. Money can be made in the meantime.”

The bottom line? Insiders are not always right. And even when they are right, they often are early.

Even so, it’s difficult to sugar-coat the recent increase in the pace of their selling,

Fundamentals Are in Place For Silver To Move Higher – Seeking Alpha

Source: The Silver Analyst

The fundamentals are in place for silver and gold to move higher. The ongoing issuance of US treasuries and further quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve inevitably point to continued dollar weakness. The interesting fact that the Fed stepped in recently to indirectly buy some of the auctioned bonds points to a decreasing lack of investor appetite for US debt. That the Fed indulged in QE is no surprise – they announced that months ago. It was more the fact they had to step into the void created by the absence of buyers that was more telling. So much for the fundamentals – now what about the technicals of timing?

No doubt you are aware that the US Dollar Index has breached longer term support at 77.7 and is currently slogging to retrieve that level of support. We don’t think it will succeed but for how long it will hold out is as yet uncertain. The breach is slight and we are still looking for a decisive breach that will propel gold and silver higher. The chart below sums up the dollar situation with potential overhead resistance at 79.

Looking at silver, we are seeing a pattern emerge that suggests if the dollar breaks to the downside, silver will be targeting its former high of $21 though we are uncertain of it completely taking that high out in the medium term. Nevertheless a buying opportunity is present and as advised to subscribers, we already have gone long in July.

The question for those with positions is when to exit? The silver chart is shown below displaying the longer term trend in terms of months with the prospect of the upper channel being tested if the dollar falls through to its lower channel in the low 70s. As a guide, remember when the US Dollar fell to 70 in March 2008, silver went to $21.

Zooming into the daily charts, we see silver has begun a move up since mid-July not dissimilar to the moves up in February and June. Those moves lasted two to three months and we anticipate something of the same here. Note the support lines in the two prior moves and their similar angles of ascent. By way of projection I have copied the first trend line from February and superimposed it on the current move. It meets the longer term line of resistance at about $18. That is the kind of price action we hope silver will indulge us when the dollar breaks down further.

You will also note the Elliott wave notation. The last move up from April to June was a clear impulse wave and this current wave looks to be in a wave 3 now with all the upside potential that such a wave brings.

So the stage is set for some fireworks but to aid our silver and gold cause the resistance line on the US Dollar Index chart needs to hold. So far it is and next week should prove to be very interesting.

Gold Bullion Regaining Its Glitter – Seeking Alpha

By: Prieur du Plessis of Investment Postcards

Is gold bullion coming back to life? Should one read anything into the rise of 6.2% (+$56) since the yellow metal’s low of early July?

When it comes to gold bullion and gold stocks, I need to confess I started my investment career in 1984 as none other than a mining analyst. Ever since those days of calculating net present values on my trusted HP 12C I have been intrigued by the shenanigans of the yellow metal and related stocks. And I have also learnt over the years that one should never underestimate the ability of the gold price to surprise when least expected.

Admittedly, part of the improvement in the gold price can be ascribed to the fading US greenback, which declined by 3.9% over the same period. I always have more faith in gold’s rallies when they are not only a reflection of US dollar weakness, but gold is also appreciating in most currencies. This serves as an indication of increased investment demand and is a phenomenon one should keep an eye on as gold might just have started moving independently of the dollar over the past few days.

Considering the fundamental outlook for gold, a very comprehensive report was recently published by Austria’s Erste Group. The analysts list the positive and negative influences below, leading them to conclude that gold is only half-way through a secular bull market and offers an outstanding risk/return profile.

Negative factors:
• Clearly falling jewellery demand.
• Recessions are basically not a good environment for the gold price (the gold price gets stimulated at a later stage by the measures taken during the recession).
• Gold tends to be held as asset and cash of last resort, which means it is liquidated in extreme financial situations. Given that more than 70% of jewellery is bought on the Indian subcontinent, the supply of recycled gold might continue to rise.
• De-hedging is coming to an end.
• The futures positions (CoT) would suggest a short-term correction.

Positive aspects:
• The worldwide reflationary policy will continue for a while.
• Global USD reserves are excessive, and the need to diversify is enormous.
• De facto zero-interest policy in USA, Japan and Europe.
• Central banks have changed their attitude towards gold.
• Supply still in long-term downward trend.
• Investment demand will remain high; Wall Street has discovered gold.
• Commodity cycle has a long way to go.
• Geopolitical environment remains fragile.
• China will increase its gold reserves.

Gold’s technical picture is certainly looking up. This is explained by Adam Hewison of INO.com who prepared a short analysis of gold’s most likely direction. (The analysis was done on Tuesday, but is still as relevant today as it was then.)

Click here or on the image below to access the video presentation.

Seasonally, September also seems to be a good month for gold, with an average gain of 2.6% for the month since 1970.

Source: Plexus Asset Management

I am bullish on gold in the medium term, especially as I believe the vast money printing by central banks could set off strong inflation pressures down the road. I will not be surprised to see bullion passing the infamous $1,000 resistance level over the next few weeks – a question of fifth time lucky – and I will be inclined to add bullion to my portfolio on pullbacks.

Well it looks like the rally is starting, growing slowly with a broad base of support for Gold. Keep accumulating while you have the chance. Lots of Companies out there that are looking mighty attractive. Remember accumulate juniors and mid tier producers or those companies at or near production. Remember I am still calling for $1250 gold by year end. The only monkey wrench that could be thrown in is if the big the shorts on the market try to drive it down one more time. Support lies at $950, $928, $910; and resistances are at $970, $987, and then $1000. This rally is very reminiscent of what happened back in July-Aug. 2007 only on a more volatile basis. One other quick note as far as Silver is concerned. I am looking for $25+ Silver by the end of the year and to perform on a percentage basis even better than Gold. Some stocks I really like aggressive buys, (OSKFF) $6.80 OB, (HL) $3.75 OB, (NAK) $7.55 OB, (CDE) $16.00 OB, (NG) $5.00 OB, (FRG) $5.00 OB, and that’s just to mention a few. For Silver, (FRMSF) $2.80 OB, (IVN) $8.50 OB, along with (HL) and (CDE). For Platinum and Palladium, (SWC) $7.50 OB, (PAL) $3.90 OB, (ANO) $1.25. (OB equals or better). Remember due your due diligence, consult your financial advisor’s and read the prospectuses before making any investments. Disclosure: I am Long all of the afore mentioned stocks.

Why Gold Could Hit $1,300 This Year --- Seeking Alpha

By: Graham Summers of Gains, Pains, & Capital

Gold may be nearing its next major leg up.

No investment ever goes straight up or straight down. During the


last bull market in gold, the precious metal rose 2,329% from a


low of $35 in 1970 to a high of $850 in 1980. However, during that


time, there was a period of 18 months in which gold fell nearly 50%


(see the chart below).



As you can see, from mid-1971 to December 1974, gold rose 471%. It


then fell 50%, from December ’74 to August ’76. After that, it began

its next leg up, exploding 750% higher from August ’76 to January


1980. Now, in its current bull market (2001 to March 2008), gold


rose over 300% from $250 to a little over $1,000. And just like in


the mid-70s, it began showing signs of weakness after its first big


rally up to $1,014 in March ’08. At one point, it even fell to $700, a 30% retraction.

Granted, it wasn’t a full 50% retraction like the one that occurred


from 1974-76. But we are experiencing a financial crisis. And gold


is the most common catastrophe insurance.

If we were to go by the historic pattern of the gold market in the


‘70s, gold should experience upwards resistance for 19 months after


its first peak today. Gold’s recent peak was $1,014 in March ’08


(roughly 17 months ago). If this bull market parallels the last one,

then gold should renew its upward momentum in a very serious way


starting in October 2009. And this next leg up should be a major


one (the biggest gains came during the second rally in gold’s bull


market in the ‘70s).




The chart certainly forecasts a major move.



As you can see, gold has formed a long-term inverse head and


shoulders formation (two smaller collapses book-ending a major


collapse). Typically a head and shoulders predicts a massive


collapse. However, when the head and shoulders is inverse, as is


the case for gold today, this typically predicts a MAJOR leg up.

Indeed, any move above the “neckline” of 1,000 would forecast a


MAJOR move up to $1,300 or so. Going by history, this is precisely


the move we should expect: remember based on historical trends


(the gold bull market of the ‘70s) gold should begin its second


and largest leg up in September or October 2009.




Watch the gold chart closely over the next month or so. If gold


makes a move above $980 perhaps add to your current positions.


If it clears $1,000, hold on tight, cause the next leg up in this


secular bull market has begun.
Good Investing!

My Note: After watching stocks (DJI) this afternoon and the strange


price behavior before the close, I felt I would add this article too!

Five Reason the Market Could Crash This Fall - Seeking Alpha

By: Graham Summers of Gains, Pains, & Capital

With all this blather about “green shoots” and economic “recovery”


and new “bull market,” I thought I’d inject a little reality into


the collective financial dialogue. The following are ALL true, all


valid, and all horrifying…
 
Enjoy.
 
1)   High Frequency Trading Programs account for 70% of market


volume
 
High Frequency Trading Programs (HFTP) collect a ¼ of a penny


rebate for every transaction they make. They’re not interested


in making a gains from a trade, just collecting the rebate.
 
Let’s say an institutional investor has put in an order to buy


15,000 shares of XYZ company between $10.00 and $10.07. The


institution’s buy program is designed to make this order without


pushing up the stock price, so it buys the shares in chunks of


100 or so (often it also advertises to the index how many shares


are left in the order).
 
First it buys 100 shares at $10.00. That order clears, so the


program buys another 200 shares at $10.01. That clears, so the


program buys another 500 shares at $10.03. At this point an HFTP


will have recognized that an institutional investor is putting in


a large staggered order.
 
The HFTP then begins front-running the institutional investor. So


the HFTP puts in an order for 100 shares at $10.04. The broker who


was selling shares to the institutional investor would obviously


rather sell at a higher price (even if it’s just a penny). So the


broker sells his shares to the HFTP at $10.04. The HFTP then turns


around and sells its shares to the institutional investor for


$10.04 (which was the institution’s next price anyway).
 
In this way, the trading program makes ½ a penny (one ¼ for buying


from the broker and another ¼ for selling to the institution) AND


makes the institutional trader pay a penny more on the shares.
 
And this kind of nonsense now comprises 70% OF ALL MARKET


TRANSACTIONS. Put another way, the market is now no longer moving


based on REAL orders, it’s moving based on a bunch of HFTPs gaming


each other and REAL orders to earn fractions of a penny.
 
Currently, roughly five billion shares trade per day. Take away


HFTP’s transactions (70%) and you’ve got daily volume of 1.5


billion. That’s roughly the same amount of transactions that


occur during Christmas (see the HUGE drop in late December), a


time when almost every institution and investor is on vacation.
 
HFTPs were introduced under the auspices of providing liquidity.


But the liquidity they provide isn’t REAL. It’s largely microsecond


trades between computer programs, not REAL buy/sell orders from


someone who has any interest in owning stocks.
 
In fact, HFTPs are not REQUIRED to trade. They’re entirely “for


profit” enterprises. And the profits are obscene: $21 billion


spread out amongst the 100 or so firms who engage in this


(Goldman Sachs (GS) is the undisputed king controlling an estimated


21% of all High Frequency Trading).
 
So IF the market collapses (as it well could when the summer ends


and institutional participation returns to the market in full


force). HFTPs can simply stop trading, evaporating 70% of the


market’s trading volume overnight. Indeed, one could very easily


consider HFTPs to be the ULTIMATE market prop as you will soon see.
 
TAKE AWAY 70% of MARKET VOLUME AND YOU HAVE FINANCIAL ARMAGEDDON.
 
2)   Even counting HFTP volume, market volume has contracted the


most since 1989
 
Indeed, volume hasn’t contracted like this since the summer of 1989.

For those of you who aren’t history buffs, the S&P 500’s performance


in 1989 offers some clues as what to expect this coming fall. In


1989, the S&P 500 staged a huge rally in March, followed by an even


stronger rally in July. Throughout this time, volume dried up to a


small trickle.
 
What followed wasn’t pretty.



 
Anytime stocks explode higher on next to no volume and crap


fundamentals you run the risk of a real collapse. I am officially


going on record now and stating that IF the S&P 500 hits 1,000, we


will see a full-blown Crash like last year.
 
3)   This Latest Market Rally is a Short-Squeeze and Nothing More
 
To date, the stock market is up 48% since its March lows. This is


truly incredible when you consider the underlying economic picture:


normally when the market rallies 40%+ from a bear market low, the


economy is already nine months into recovery mode. Indeed, assuming


the market is trading based on earnings, the S&P 500 is currently


discounting earnings growth of 40-50% for 2010. The odds of that


happening are about one in one million.
 
A closer examination of this rally reveals the degree to which


“junk” has triumphed over value. Since July 10th:
 

	The 50 smallest stocks have outperformed the largest 50

	stocks by 7.5%.
	The 50 most shorted stocks have beaten the 50 least shorted

	stocks by 8.8%.

 
Why is this?
 
Because this rally has largely been a short squeeze.
 
Consider that the short interest has plunged 72% in the last two


months. Those industries that should be falling the most right now


due to the world’s economic contraction (energy, materials, etc.)


have seen the largest drop in short interest: Energy -90%,


Materials -94%, Financials -86%.
 
In simple terms, this rally was the MOTHER of all short squeezes.


The fact that it occurred on next to no volume and crummy


fundamentals sets the stage for a VERY ugly correction.
 
4) 13 Million Americans Exhaust Unemployment by 12/09 
 
A lot of the bull-tards in the media have been going wild that


unemployment claims are falling. It strikes me as surprising that


this would be true given the fact that virtually every company that


posted the alleged “awesome” earnings in 2Q09 did so by laying off


thousands of employees:
 

	Yahoo! (YHOO) will cut 675 jobs.
	Verizon (VZ) just laid off 9,000 employees.
	Motorola (MOT) plans to lay off 7,000 folks this year.
	Shell (RDS.A) has laid off 150 management positions

	(20% of management).
	Microsoft (MSFT) plans to lay off 5,000 people this year.

 
So unemployment claims are falling, that means people are finding


jobs right? Wrong. It means that people are exhausting their


unemployment benefits. When you consider that there are 30 million


people on food stamps in the US (out of the 200 million that are of


working age: 15-64) it’s clear REAL unemployment must be closer to


16%.
 
And they’re slowly running out of their government lifelines.
 
The three million people who lost their jobs in the second half of


2008 will exhaust their benefits by October 2009. When you add in


dependents, this means that around 10 million folks will have no


income and virtually no savings come Halloween.  Throw in the other


four million who lost their jobs in the first half of 2009 and


you’ve got 13 million people (counting families) who will be


essentially destitute by year-end.





How does this affect the stock market?
 
The US consumer is 70% of our GDP. People without jobs don’t spend


money. People who are having to work part-time instead of full-time


(another nine million) spend less money than full time employees.


And people who are forced to work shorter work weeks (current


average is 33, an ALL TIME LOW), have less money to spend.
 
Wall Street makes a big deal about earnings (earnings estimates,


earnings forecast, etc), but when it comes to economic growth,


sales are the more critical metric. Companies can increase profits


by reducing costs temporarily, but unless actual top lines increase,

there is NO growth to be seen. No revenue growth means no hiring,


which means no uptick in employment, which means greater housing


and credit card defaults, greater Federal welfare (unemployment,


food stamps, etc), etc.
 
So how will corporate profits perform as more and more consumers


become part-time, unemployed, or destitute? Well, so far profits


have been awful. And that’s BEFORE we start seeing millions of


Americans losing their unemployment benefits.






With the S&P rallying on these already crap results… what do you


think will happen when reality sets in during 3Q09?
 
5) The $1 QUADRILLION Derivatives Time Bomb
 
Few commentators care to mention that the total notional value of


derivatives in the financial system is over $1.0 QUADRILLION


(that’s 1,000 TRILLIONS).
 
US Commercial banks alone own an unbelievable $202 trillion in


derivatives. The top five of them hold 96% of this.
 
By the way, the chart is in TRILLIONS of dollars:



As you can see, Goldman Sachs alone has $39 trillion in derivatives


outstanding. That’s an amount equal to more than three times total


US GDP. Amazing, but nothing compared to JP Morgan (JPM), which has


a whopping $80 TRILLION in derivatives on its balance sheet.
 
Bear in mind, these are “notional” values of derivatives, not the


amount of money “at risk” here. However, if even 1% of the $1


Quadrillion is actually at risk, you’re talking about $10 trillion


in “at risk.”
 
What are the odds that Wall Street, when allowed to trade without


any regulation, oversight, or audits, put a lot of money at risk?


I mean… Wall Street’s track record regarding financial instruments


that were ACTUALLY analyzed and rated by credit ratings agencies


has so far been stellar.
 
After all, mortgage backed securities, credit default swaps,


collateralized debt obligations… those vehicles all turned out


great what with the ratings agencies, banks risk management systems,

and various other oversight committees reviewing them.
 
I’m sure that derivatives which have absolutely NO oversight, no


auditing, no regulation, will ALL be fine. There’s NO WAY that the


very same financial institutions that used 30-to-1 leverage or more


on regulated balance sheet investments would put $50+ trillion “at


risk” (only 5% of the $1 quadrillion notional) when they were


trading derivatives.
 
If Wall Street did put $50 trillion at risk… and 10% of that money


goes bad (quite a low estimate given defaults on regulated


securities) that means $5 trillion in losses: an amount equal to


HALF of the total US stock market.
 
This of course assumes that Wall Street only put 5% of its notional


value of derivatives at risk… and only 10% of the derivatives “at


risk” go bad.



 Do you think those assumptions are a bit… low?

The other shoe what is it? Actually, there are several “other” shoes getting ready to drop. Today we saw one of them… Did you check out the Treasury Auction today? What happened on those 5 year notes. They didn’t sell all they offered in simple terms. This is a huge week of financing for the Treasury and they had a shortfall and were only able to sell $39 billion; the bid to cover ratio was 1.92 the weakest in almost a year. Yields (the tail) were well above expectations with the yield rising to a 4 week high of 2.66%.

In turn the stock market dropped 26 points to close at 9071 DJI. Slipping ever closer to falling beneath 9000. Analyst’s however are stating the the DJI came back up after much deeper losses which is bullish. Hmm… Could there be another round of fabricated unemployment numbers tomorrow? This market is being heavily manipulated and is try to suck in investors to the upside so that BAM!, another Crash and there goes another chunk of our savings down the drain. Be aware, watch the remaining Treasury auction, keep your stop loss points very close. Remember there is a little bit of room to the upside to make a nice head and shoulders.

Alas, poor Gold today down another $12 today. Good news for smart investors, time to buy more. Believe it or not the rally start is about 1 to 1/2 months away, maybe much sooner. Oil did it’s retracement today and will start heading back to $70 barrel. Keep accumulating in both Precious Metals and Oil stocks junior and mid tier producers. Our time is coming very soon.

In the coming days I will put together/report my portfolio fav’s and publish them so you can check them out for yourself. Stay tuned, subscribe to the blog or follow me on Twitter to be the first to know.

Okay, I admit it this rally took me a little by surprise. Ah… Hope springs eternal! Everybody is banking that we are out of the woods. Well take your profits, keep your stops tight protect yourself. I may be wrong again and we may see 10,000 on the DJI. However, I still think we have an actual retracement needed, and I don’t think that support is very strong underlying the market. Companies are still downsizing, even I fell victim to this. Yes, I am now officially in the ranks of the unemployed. Thank God I can trade and have a severance package otherwise, I would be doomed to getting unemployment which is no where close to my earnings; and/or ability to pay my bills. Market Confidence is definitely waning.

Unemployment rates are still much higher than stated. Home sales while up, how many of those are companies lowering prices to cost or below just to get them off their inventory rolls. Inflation due to unlimited money printing, is cause a pricing increase across the board. Inflation is here. Bernanke is caught between a rock and a hard place. If he increase Interest rates he will destroy the budding economy. If he keeps interest rates the same and keeps printing money, he will cause continued price and overall Inflation maybe even Hyper-Inflation.

Next are you really aware of what is in the current health reform bill if not you must read it. Here is the link all 1018 pages. It is an outright power grab and takeover of our country by Government and the Banks, and the “shadow government. According to information published, they have stated they will bring the Stock Market back to these levels (9000-10,000 DJI), suck everybody in, and crash the market and steal your money. When I say crash, I mean crash, all the way down to 6400 or worse. Be advised and be prepared. You will not heard this talked about on market news even from FOX. Here are some of the sources read here and here. These are just a few of many sources that you can check, read and decide for yourself.

Today on the Dow it made a futile attempt to jump to the positive before being slammed and seesawed near the close. If I were to project the market it looks like we are forming an actual Head and shoulders top and are cureently worrking on the head. There is still a little room for the upside to somewhere around 9500-9600 DJI will be a strong resistance point. Next 10,000 DJI, and then the gap around 10,300 DJI. Remember however, we have already moved high enough to qualify as the head so bring your stops in tight.

Look for continued US Dollar weakness long term, be prepared that Bernanke may have raise Interest Rates which will give a short term boost to the Dollar; but long term there isd only one direction down. Oil until end of summer will trade in a range (barring any unforseen news) between $60 and $75-$80. At end of August look for new push higher back over $100 at the minimum.

Time for my favorite Gold, they are trying to push it down one more time again, especially since the summer, thin traded market, and before the CFTC actually brings in posistion limits in Commodities trading. I am still calling for $1250 Gold by the end of the year, with $25 Silver, Platinum around $1800 -$2000. Take Delivery on any bullion you purchase especially off of COMEX.

Wed. rally was to get rid of the weak shorts snatch their cash and today fool them to turn their positions and catch them with a whipsaw.

I wanted to take a minute and share with you some excellent links to INO.com Market Club. I am personally a member and I love their charting tools and their patented “Triangle Technology”. This is a “must have” for any serious trader. I’ve arranged for my readers a couple of special videos on the Dow Jones Industrial’s, the Dollar Index, the Aussie Dollar.

Watch them, look around Ino, Market Club, and sign up for the “free” stuff to check them out…

Important Dow Update, July 14th

In today’s short video I am going to be revisiting the Dow Jones Industrial index (DJI).

Dow Update

I think it’s very interesting to see what our “Trade Triangles” are doing as well as what our Talking Charts are saying about this market.

I’ll also be using MarketClub’s Fibonacci tool. If you have not seen this tool in action, I strongly recommend that you watch today’s video.

You can watch this video with my compliments and there is no registration requirements.

Exploring the Dollar Index

While the US dollar was supposed to lose ground against its counter parties, the market has remained surprisingly stubborn and trapped in a sideways trading range.

In today’s video I will explore what’s going on, and where I think this market is headed in the future.

What’s up with the currency from down-under?

We are taking a trip down under today.

It has been sometime since we last looked at the relationship between the US dollar and the Australian dollar (USD/AUD). Today seemed like an opportune time to look at this cross and to figure out where it is headed using our “Trade Triangle” technology.

We’re also using MarketClub’s Fibonacci tool. If you have not seen this tool in action, I strongly recommend that you watch today’s video.

Roubini refutes better outlook – MarketWatch

By Kate Gibson

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Economist Nouriel Roubini on Thursday refuted reports that he had improved his economic outlook, saying his comments at an investors conference earlier in the day were taken out of context. “I have said on numerous occasions that the recession would last roughly 24 months. Therefore, we are 19 months into that recession. If as I predicted the recession is over by year end, it will have lasted 24 months with a recovery only beginning in 2010,” Roubini said in a statement.

======================================

Roubini: I Was Taken Out of Context – The Street.Com

The following is a statement from Dr. Nouriel Roubini, chairman of RGE Monitor, and professor, New York University, Stern School of Business:

It has been widely reported today that I have stated that the recession will be over “this year” and that I have “improved” my economic outlook. Despite those reports — however — my views expressed today are no different than the views I have expressed previously. If anything, my views were taken out of context.

I have said on numerous occasions that the recession would last roughly 24 months. Therefore, we are 19 months into that recession. If as I predicted the recession is over by year-end, it will have lasted 24 months, with a recovery only beginning in 2010. Simply put, I am not forecasting economic growth before year’s end.

Indeed, last year I argued that this will be a long and deep and protracted U-shaped recession that would last 24 months. Meanwhile, the consensus argued that this would be a short and shallow V-shaped 8 months long recession (like those in 1990-91 and 2001). That debate is over today as we are in the 19th month of a severe recession; so the V is out of the window and we are in a deep U-shaped recession. If that recession were to be over by year-end — as I have consistently predicted — it would have lasted 24 months and thus been three times longer than the previous two and five times deeper — in terms of cumulative GDP contraction — than the previous two. So, there is nothing new in my remarks today about the recession being over at the end of this year.

I have also consistently argued — including in my remarks today — that while the consensus predicts that the U.S. economy will go back close to potential growth by next year, I see instead a shallow, below-par and below-trend recovery where growth will average about 1% in the next couple of years when potential is probably closer to 2.75%.

I have also consistently argued that there is a risk of a double-dip W-shaped recession toward the end of 2010, as a tough policy dilemma will emerge next year: on one side, early exit from monetary and fiscal easing would tip the economy into a new recession, as the recovery is anemic and deflationary pressures are dominant. On the other side, maintaining large budget deficits and continued monetization of such deficits would eventually increase long-term interest rates (because of concerns about medium term fiscal sustainability and because of an increase in expected inflation) and thus would lead to a crowding out of private demand.

While the recession will be over by the end of the year, the recovery will be weak, given the debt overhang in the household sector, the financial system and the corporate sector; and now there is also a massive releveraging of the public sector with unsustainable fiscal deficits and public debt accumulation.

Also, as I fleshed out in detail in recent remarks, the labor market is still very weak: I predict a peak unemployment rate of close to 11% in 2010. Such [a] large unemployment rate will have negative effects on labor income and consumption growth; will postpone the bottoming out of the housing sector; will lead to larger defaults and losses on bank loans (residential and commercial mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, leveraged loans); will increase the size of the budget deficit (even before any additional stimulus is implemented); and will increase protectionist pressures.

So, yes there is light at the end of the tunnel for the U.S. and the global economy; but as I have consistently argued. the recession will continue through the end of the year, and the recovery will be weak and at risk of a double dip, as the challenge of getting right the timing and size of the exit strategy for monetary and fiscal policy easing will be daunting.

RGE Monitor will soon release our updated U.S. and Global Economic Outlook. A preview of the U.S. Outlook is available on our website: www.rgemonitor.com

Sorry, been so busy setting up things for Twitter and my other businesses. Hang in there with Gold and Precious Metals. With everything that is coming down, new regulations, audit of the Fed, and etc.; thing are getting tougher and tougher for those who are and have been manipulating the Gold and Silver Markets.

Please do not fall for this! Keep accumulating more shares of all the tiers of producers and explorers who are about to start production. If you are buying Bullion TAKE DELIVERY! I still predicting that we will see Gold at $1250 and Silver $25 by the end of this year. Hold On, Be Patient, Take Delivery, and use this Opportunity to continue accumulating. I will have a new tip either tomorrow or the weekend.

Gold Ratios – Time To Pay Attention – Seeking Alpha

By: Gary Tanashian of Notes From The Rabbit Hole

Ever since the sentimentally unsustainable negative events of Q4, 2008, when gold simply exploded higher in ratio to over-played assets far and wide in a panicked rush for safety, the ancient monetary metal has been consolidating its relative gains. As noted at the time in NFTRH, this excessive reaction had to be worked off. Now, unfortunately for the unprepared and hopeful, it has been worked off. Forewarned is forearmed.

Dialing forward to today, we find a tired rally in nominal stock, commodity and low quality debt prices. We see a rising Gold-Silver ratio (GSR) and a US dollar not far above our ‘do or die’ support level of 78. See the free, albeit abbreviated issue of NFTRH (.pdf) for the monthly view of USD.

NFTRH held and added gold miners strongly throughout the process of gold’s impulsive rise in ratio to the things that are positively correlated to economies and rising human spirits. This, even as nominal gold stock prices imploded. Positions were added ‘all in and around’ a historic bottom and this trade has paid off quite well.

Okay, that is history. Now what?

We have been watching the GSR (among other indicators) tirelessly and its message for the markets has been actively bearish for about a month now. To review, when silver is rising relative to gold it indicates a willingness on the part of market participants to accept risk, to ‘play’. The GSR has been working like a more sensitive version of the VIX in recent years. Ah, but there is literally a world of ratios that can be used to advantage when attempting to gauge the winds of the markets.

In the chart included today we see gold in ratio to the Reuters CRB commodity index ($CCI). Even as many people micromanage nominal prices of asset markets, gold’s ratio to commodities tells a story of a bottom in the making, which of course tells a story of a top in the making in what NFTRH called ‘Hope 09’.

Let this short article serve as notice that gold’s consolidation vs. the assets of hope looks to be in its final stages. This is a bullish chart, and in this weekend’s NFTRH41, we will look at gold’s ratio to several other assets and markets. It is time to pay attention and it is time to get it right.

Markets travel in roundabout directions and cycles – both short and long term – must be endured. It is technical, sentiment and market ratio analysis that guides us through these cycles and keeps us on the right track. Please heed the above chart and consider what will happen when gold finishes consolidating the explosive ratio gains of 2008.

===================================================

My Note: If you payed attention and I know my readers did, it is time to buy Gold now, the consolidation is almost over. This means Gold and Precious Metals are about to resume their rally and very soon! Once again, I am calling for Gold at $1250 and Silver at $25 by the end of this year. You are never hurt by getting in early, but definitely hurt by getting in too late or missing it altogether; Buy Precious metals in any form. If Bullion TAKE DELIVERY! -Good Investing! – jschulmansr

Well we made it to the weekend. as I said in my last post things are just too interesting to go away! I hope you took my last post to heart and didn’t jump in the next day when stocks went up. This is a sucker’s rally! We have some support levels as follows for the (DJI) 1st is at 8400, then 8250, 8000, 7500, then nothing until 6450 area. I think that this is what we will see, a second test of the 6450 level for the (DJI) over the next 6 months. Remember the fear factor is growing again, and the “green shoots” are starting to dry up.

One thing that few people have been talking about is how many people are now in negative equity in their homes and just can’t afford the mortgage payments and are starting to walk away from these homes and letting them (mortgages) default. Especially their 2nd homes and investment properties bought at the end of the real estate boom. Also, these are considered high grade loans, and default is growing along with the people (high risk) who couldn’t afford to buy the home in the first place!

Next, credit card debt, how many unemployed workers are living off their credit cards now and can’t afford to make the payments. Plus even those employed but thought they could continue to use their homes as ATM’s now find they just can’t make the payments. Credit Card Debt defaults are starting to grow exponentially! Yes, the other shoe is starting to drop!

Next, the Dollar is getting ready to swan dive again and if the amount of money that has been created by the treasury, has actually doubled the amount of dollars out there; then isn’t our dollars already really worth 50% less than at the beginning of the year. Yes, that is how much money they have printed just since the beginning of the year! On a side note; Russia is even in worse shape than we are in the U.S., so for the Forex traders out there here are 3 currency pairs I think will perform quite well. First for the russian situation, (USD/RUB), (EUR/RUB). This is the only Forex trade that you will see me recommend with the Dollar as long. For the Dollar, since I think it is going down, down, down; (EUR/USD). However a better trade would be to look at in my book the 2 best “resource countries” as opposed to the U.S.A. These would be (AUD/USD) and (CAD/USD).

Precious Metals, my outlook is still the same; for Gold and Silver stay long buy more any form. Experts state you should have 10%-15% in Precious Metals. For optimium financial health in my opinion you should have 50%-60% or more in Precious metals just to protect yourself from either Inflation or Deflation and what is going to happen to the dollar. The new base range for Gold and the strong support is $890 – $920. On the upside $950 the 1st battle, then $980, then $1000. However, confirmation of the bull breakout will occur in my book after a few successful closes over $955. I am calling for Gold to be at $1250 – $1500 by the end of the year. Don’t forget China and Russia are buying Gold to hedge their currency and US Debt holdings. The IMF sale … forget that China alone will santch that up in a heartbeat, it’s a drop in the bucket!

My Gold stock tip is this Apollo Gold (AGT). I have been buying this since the 10cent level and it is currently trading in the 45 cent level. The company just produced it’s first gold (3000 oz.) less than a month ago. The comapny also just announced another “high grade” hit 13oz gold/ton find on an adjacent property close to it’s producing mine and mill. Wesites to check out on Apollo Gold.

It is for a new treatment of cancer especially Prostate Cancer. It is a non invasive procedure, no chemo, no side effects, very effective. Remember, when we used to watch Star Trek and Dr. McCoy used to have an instrument the operated with a beam and performed the surgery with success? That is what they are using right now. It is the Cyber-Knife. It works by Proton Beam therapy. It focuses a beam of protons that directly hit the Cancer tumor without affecting the surrounding body. The company who makes the machine almost has more orders than it can handle, with more starting to pour in. Clinical trials were held and the results just came back as extremely favorable! I could go on and on but I would rather you check it out for yourself. So I will provide some links for you. The name of the company is Accuray Inc. and it produces the Cyberknife. Stock Symbol (ARAY) and is trading in the $6.80 range currently. It IPO’d at $35 then the Markets got trashed and so did this stock and saw a low of $3.80. It has been slowly climbing back from that, recently hitting a high of $9.00 and now experiencing a normal retracement getting ready in my opinion to go over the next year back into the $20-$30 range. This treatment really works and the clinical trials results were what the company had been waiting for. This is the next step cutting edge technology to remove cancer tumors. The company website and a few other sites so you can research this for your self…

Yes, I almost did! However things are just getting too interesting. Unemployment up again and the market (DJI) is trying to rally, currently up 52 points! Unbelievable, when will reality sink in. We are stuck in a recession and the other “shoe” hasn’t even dropped yet. Don’t be fooled by this “suckers” rally! I hope you took out most of your profits on your non-resource related stocks, especially financials. I still stand by my claim we will see the (DJI) test 6500 again before we ever get to even 9000!

If you are into Forex here is a “gimme” Buy USD/RUB. My reason is simple, traders are starting to panic as Russia’s situation is growing worse. The world bank and the IMF have both stated the Russian economy is and will be stuck in recession for many years to come. As the traders unwind out of the Ruble they will go into US dollars. Don’t get me wrong I think the Dollar will continue to fall as the Fed and Bernanke are running out of ways to keep propping it up. I just think the Ruble will drop faster. Disclosure Long

For Gold and Precious metals. We have a perfect head and shoulders formation in place. If we break back thru $955 I think we have confirmation that Gold is going to mount it’s next attack at $1000 despite continued manipulation to artificially hold it down. Take deliver is the new Rally cry! Let’s catch them with their shorts down! Sorry, no pun intended!. Disclosure Long (Bullion and Stocks) Precious Metals.

Next as promised, here is my hot stock tip! (NGLPF) Nevada Geothermal Power. I like this stock for several reasons, first it is still “undiscovered by the street. Second, it is in the Alternate (Green) Energy Industry; so an Obama “darling”. Plus, their first power generation plant is ahead of schedule and due to come online in October of this year. It is currently tading in the 60-70cent range. I am buying all the way up to a $1 dollar level. This is another “buy and forget. I think it has the potential to be a 10 “bagger”. As always due your due diligence and read the prospectus before you ever invest. Disclosure Long

Finally, I receive no compensation for any stock I mention here, these are my own personal trades that I share from time to time. If I ever do start receiving compensation for reccomendations, I will disclose that immediately. Good Trading!- jschulmansr
