In Rarefied Air

Some have grown fretsome and sold their gold miners to me in short sighted paroxysms of “management.”  They — these “some” — feel they are “managers” and therefore must “manage,” long term values be damned.

But let me ask you this:  if you were given a goose that laid — quite literally — golden eggs,  would you sell said poutlry for a handful of beans and a wide screen TV tube?

Would you wring it’s neck for a quick meal of pate and buffalo wings?

No, of course not.   You’d husband said semi-aquiferous creature and feed it only the best seed corn and malted beverages from the Villages of St. Ides.  

You’d sing to it.

Two charts I’m featuring  tonight are a perfect illustration of the opportunity we have before us.   The first, I’ve been mentioning for weeks.   A “latter day Jackson,” Allied Nevada Gold Corp. [[ANV]] is perhaps my strongest gold pick at the moment.  

It may pull back some more here, but there’s no question that this weekly chart is showing a trip to uncharted territory, on uncommon strength:

My second chart is a newcomer, courtesy of The PPT, and perhaps as strong as ANV at this moment.   Exeter Resource Corp. [[XRA]] is a new favourite of mine, and an irony to boot.

I appreciate irony, almost as I appreciate break-outs in trending stocks who also happen to be in super bull segments.

Look at this chart — this weekly chart remember — and ask yourself again.   Why would I want to concern myself with any other sectors at this point?   Why would you?

As they used to say on President & 5th — down in my old neighborhood in Prospect Park, Crooklyn — are you fookin’ kiddin’ me??

Be well.

    Love those charts== and that volume on XRA– wow. Adding both to my buy list for tomorrow.

    By the way– how many feet up in the air do you think that guy is? That’s amazing.

      “That guy” is Michael Jordan, dahlin’.

      He was something special out on the hardcourt.

        oh geez, can’t wait to show this thread to my husband. He’ll either laugh or tell me I have to get off the computer and start watching sports with him. ( I actually did watch MJ play many times on tv back when, and it was truly wonderful to behold.)

          FYI- Michael Jordan’s son starts to play college ball this year at Univ. of Central Florida.
          I guess if he was any good he wouldn’t be playing at UCF.

      I wonder what kind of mark-up they’ll put on… gotta think it’s no bargain to buy gold at Harrod’s.

    The St. Ides comments are amusing. I’m shocked there are many people on this site who know what that is.

      I’ve got a bit of experience in malt liquor. My very first summer job — at age 12 — was working in my grandfather’s deli in Far Rockaway, Queens.

      At certain times of the day, our biggest seller was Old English 800 and/or Colt 45. Champale was also big with the ladies.

      St. Ides was a minor brand at the time, at least.

        True conversation overheard at said ‘establishment’:

        (Back in the day)

        Customer (looking at various deli meats through the display case and pointing): “Wha’s dat?”

        Deli counterman: “mortadella”

        Customer (getting a bit riled) : “Say what?”

        Deli counterman: “It’s mortadella.”

        Customer (now visibly pissed off): “I don’t care if it’s more-than-a-dollah, i gotz plenty o money!”

    PTM opened up big and briefly today – some kind of anomaly? What about PAL for some diversity? The camera angle makes a big difference on the picture, no?

      Yeah, they announced they were suspending yesterday… some kind of imbalance in their ETF or something?

      I have been eyeing PAL for a looooong time, but I don’t like the way it trades…. too many trap doors… I will wait til it stabilizes.

    picked up some PAAS, SLW and XRA today but missed on ANV. But right after i picked up XRA, i went out to eat a sam’ich. Crossing 6th Ave, there was a hooptie caddy waiting at the red light. Being a fairly awesome car in the middle of manhattan, I looked down to read the license plate. It read “XRA 6011”. I took it as an eerily good sign.
