Just in case any of you Wall of Worry Erectors have missed the boat these last few important days, I’ve elected to make it much simpler for you with a quick chart review.
You can print this out and put it in your wallet, and then whip it out any time the market is giving you the knackers or the frosty shivs. We can call it your own homemade “C.F.A. merit badge” and if you send it to me with a self-addressed stamped envelope, I’ll even autograph it for you to make it all official-like.
Laminate it, why don’t you?
Now that you’ve got all you need to parse the markets for the next six to twelve months, I don’t feel so bad taking off for the Annual iBC – Fly Convention and Hay Ride (down 9th Avenue this year, accompanied by a Trannie Jazz Band, it so happens). I will try to get a post in tomorrow, but as I will be traversing this great earth with the entire family, I would implore you not to get over-antsy about it.
ANV and IAG continued to knock bawls like Jerry Nadler at the last Matzoh Ball Deli in Brooklyn. EGO and SLW also punish detractors, as do the other silver gods, EXK, PAAS and of course, MVG. Hat tip to the Most Wrong Blog in Internets History for crapping on silver today and ensuring our big wins. As always, your karma boomarang is most appreciated.
It looks like we got the beginning of a well-expected dollar rebound today, though I don’t believe it will amount to much. We may get a bit above $81, but then, you’ve got your laminated cheat sheet to reassure you on ultimate targets now, don’t you? So chin up, and hang on.
Best to you all.

You talking about Mitch McConnell? Would be great if he ran.
No, he’s a Kentucky Senator.
I am talking about Mitch Daniels, Governor of Indiana.

Yea, I’m a retard. That’s actually who I meant.
Looks like a fib with at 77 and 74 added somehow.
Am I right or partially right?
Nope, those are just regular ole support levels (which, when broken, become resistance.)

I do not believe we will be visiting the Island of Herr Staten. I’m told the tolls on the Verrazano are now higher than a round trip airline ticket to London.

Jake…
So because they have to print the money to spend on treasuries, creating an inflationary force, it’s just a matter of how much they have to print to overcome the deflation already present?
And through policy they can artificially adjust the rates if they are to succumb to the pressure of the purchase of treasuries?
TIA my man, TIA…..
Well, in the Quantitive Easing you describe, the Fed is actually artificially working the rates via purchase of short term gov’t securities. They are also laundering the mortgage garbage via these means.

RE: Mortgage Purchases
I think that the Fed will be able to hold/repo/dollar roll those assets as long as necessary with minimal downside risk. MBS risk can be thought of in two forms, default and prepayment. They both are credit and market-based, to an extent. Right now it seems the main risk is the former. If rates and property prices drop to the point where investors can create a profit on the spread between collecting fees from rent/flipping and purchasing plus property management costs (if renting) and/or cost of rehabilitation/renovation, then the staunching will begin. In fact, CNN put a story on the front page in the Business section of their web page today about investors buying up homes via low rates. Educating the common folk about this potential opportunity is a positive sign. Once MBS show life of worthy risk premium, the Fed may be able to start to let some of them go.
Wheat is lock limit up. I do believe that the next session will reveal a doubling of the price in a mere two months. While this is a supply/demand issue, try explaining that to voters. Perhaps QE II will be delayed…

Why shouldn’t those of us who are too old to be here just buy GDXJ?
GDXJ is an option of course, but does not offer as much upside as selecting specific juniors. The benefit ratio is different than in say, owning GDX vs. a group of large caps. In a bull market, you want to be long volatility.

Would it be misguided, then, to expect disproportionate “catch-up” gains in the laggards (NXG) or “distressed” PM stocks (GRS) if gold makes a pronounced move through the end of the year? I am long about a half-dozen names and looking to add responsibly…there’s the temptation to resort to brute force on the “damn it, move already!” underperformers…bad idea?
There’s so many good ones, why waste time on the bad? That said, I try to throw a little money at all the juniors– “just in case.”
___
You headed up to SnS?
Nah, I figured I’d take the kids up to Memorial. Maybe run some wind sprints.

Jake- I’ve been redacted above. What’s up with that? (You can delete this post after you throw away the Sharpie).
Not sure what you mean… you mean you’ve had a comment taken out? I’ll check the spam filter.

There, it’s released. It’s one of those random deals, not sure why.

Thanks. Perhaps it’s a Mary Poppins chimney sweep jumping around the blogs. Poor fucker.

I checked my Magic 8 Ball… he said:
Concentrate and ask again.
+++++++++++++++
Please do what the ball says Jake,
I’m not the one with the magic shit.
please the Jake I’m the magic ball,
do what the one with not shit says.
I don’t know, man. I just can’t understand this thread.
Are you saying the dollar is going down, and therefore gold is going up? Is that what you are saying, Jake?
If so, in true Canadian style…FUCK’N EH!
LOL, just kidding.
Hope you have a good vacation. Can’t wait for this winter and reading IBC again!
Everybody’s gotta love this…remember this everybody???
