Feels like a bottom?

Lots of nasty things can be found at the bottom….

This action today spells puke-ville for most, and you are probably hearing it. Just had a conversation with my mentor and he’s hearing it louder than loud from all but his oldest co-investors (he doesn’t even call them “clients” anymore). 

I knew we were approaching the end of a cycle here, and I held on hoping to catch that turn and add some of my cash to the projectile return.  I still hope to do that, but believe me I’m a bit more cautious at this point than I even was last night.  That’s just human nature, and it affects me just as much as it affects every one of you.  

There are some positives to look at for those of you who are grinning and bearing it right now in true Cement Head fashion.  For one, we are fast approaching the 52-week high for the dollar at just over $81 on the index.   It’s highly unlikely we will blast through that range without at least something of a rest.

What’s more, the $HUI is holding (as of this writing) at the $500.00 support level (sorry I can’t post a chart at the moment, but look at the weekly if you have the ability to do so).   Oftentimes the $HUI will signal a turn before the POG will.  

 Last, we still have that 34-week EMA line to think about.  Keep in mind this is options expiration week, and everyone and their mother had long calls for Santa which are now all underwater.  We may even get a swing back long before Friday, but I’m thinking that we will see some of Fly’s rubber band action to get us back above that ($1646.oo) before week’s end. 

Granted that’s almost $100.00 north of here, but you might want to keep in mind how quickly we broke this low. 

In summary, I’m continuing to do nothing with my 60% invested position.  If I were a shorter term trader I may have gone to cash a little quicker.  In this case, however, I’ve got enough “leeway” to withstand some shorter term draw-down while waiting to grab some additional return on a re-ignition.   

Best to you all.

    Huge volume that’s for sure but I’d be more concerned any upside would only happen to test the trendline and/or MAs – and of course resume it’s fall from there

    Not trying to be a downer, just being objective – if this was a tech stock, would you buy that chart?

    Added AG, SLW and GDX very close to the close tonight, in some considerable size.

      was going to add to AG also at 14.50 and roll the high octane dice with AGQ at around $46 even though i know you’ve warned against (that lil’ biatch hasn’t been green since i picked her up when she broke that $60 mark two weeks ago. Luckily it was my first and relatively small purchase of this land mine…) but got pulled away into meeting and never did. Seeing how my luck has been shite recently, you can thank me later when this skyrockets tomorrow.

      Also, the only thing that was green for me today was PZG, up around 2+% pretty much all day. Any thoughts?

        It had been consolidating on the 200 week EMA for a while, so this could be the start of something good.

        What baby news?

    Wow on gold.

    FYI, I picked up lots of “survival food”, have been to the shooting range a bunch and took out an account in “tangible” cash.

    Just a heads up, for those… concerned.

    I hope I’m wrong, who cares: food parishes and cash goes back into the coffers if that’s the case. FWIW.

    Thanks Jake.

    Looks like that Defense Authorization Act is making another round unfortunately.

    Also, a short history presentation regarding Ron Paul, veterans, and foreign policy was released on YouTube a few days ago. It’s well done for Youtube, although mildly melodramatic.
