Happy Father’s Day

 

___________________________

Today was a warm and fulfilling Father’s Day.   I took the four offspring and their madre and her parents off to our traditional Father’s Day Lunch where we had a toothsome sup at our favorite restaurant complete w. sangrias out on the lanai. 

Then we followed that worthy repast with a late afternoon matinee (blessedly air conditioned, as it’s been over 90 for a week now).   We saw the highly acclaimed Toy Story 3 in “3-d” (sufficiently subtle that it did not bother my usually sensitive inner ear) and I can truthfully say it was the perfect Father’s Day movie, and just a great movie all around.   I might even pick up some DIS on Monday, so impressed was I by those Pixar geniuses all over again.

But this was a busy week, Father’s Day culminations aside, and none were more busy than the deep-mining dwarves of my portfolio that showered me with coyne (sic) even as I wheeled and dealed like a Soprano consigliari in Sinatra’s New York.

For those of you who think this recent market rip as a sign of light at the end of the tunnel, please disabuse yourself immediately.  You might as well ascribe the recent positivity to overzealous vuvuzallah (sp?) blowing as to positive economic news.

Make no mistake, this market is ripping on a combination of black smoke-sentiment rebound and fast money central bank printing.    As a result, stocks as a whole have risen, and my gold and silver plays (not to mention select platinum and palladium names) are looking Atlas holding up the world, but getting ready to shrug.

Last week I gave you RBY and BAA, which were up this past week 19.3% and 21.4% respectively. 

Yes, in one week.  And there will be moooore, on each, bless us both.

Even that damned elusive Pimpernel could not argue with those kind of results, but you must get them while they are hot, like slices of pizza thrown from the tenth story of important buildings.  

I don’t want to hear any complaints, either, as I illustrate my favourites (sic) which I have been recommending now for more than a full year of vociferous blogging.  

Remember my very favourite stock, SLW?  Well, it was only up a mere 8.5% last week.   But that only means you haven’t missed the entirety of the party.   In fact, I think it’s about to get started on the weekly here:

Then there’s my number two beauty, ANV.  It was also up a mere 12.4% last week, but I want to show you the daily on this one to illustrate the dramatic manner in which it made that increase last week.  Note how it, too, is approaching new highs?  Coincidence?

Maybe a little bit overbought on the daily, but that’s one you want to own for the long, hard times.  Weekly is a dream.

Then there’s my lovely EGO, up a mere 6.3% this week, but showing some appetizing possibilities as it too ends the week within a hair’s breadth of new all time highs.  Uncanny, no?  Check this daily out:

Some volume, wot?

Then there’s the grand-pap of them all, RGLD, which looks like it too wants to find new ground above $55 per share.  We may sell off a little bit of the last week’s 4.1% advance, but then we may just consolidate some of this overbought-ness and move on to new highs.    Let’s say I’m not selling any calls just yet:

That’s enough for now.   This should be an exciting week.  Watch the dollar index here.   If it breaks $85.00 here, as I’ve stated before, we could have some serious play in the fields of gold.   Keep an eye on CDE (up over 14%) and PAAS (up over 9.5% last week) for the silver stakes as well.

Best to you all.
