[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y88SaP4orc&feature=related 450 300] God Bless our Veterans This Day… “to the Lost!”
_____________________

First, my thanks to all who serve and who have served. This is your day, God Bless.

Second, I just got back from my road trip so I’ll be brief.  There’s not much more room in this dollar bounce, in my humble.  In fact, I may amend my $79 target (the 13-week EMA) down to $78.60, which is the 50-day EMA.  

No, none of these numbers ever work out exactly, like some sort of magic poodle act, but they are a decent guide for resistance levels — especially when we are entering overbought territory already.  Behold — 

And when that dollar starts turning down, the PM’s will start running again, with abandon.  The silvers have hardly slowed down, but EXK would be on my radar screen along with the usual suspects.

Mostly, the gold juniors are looking the most appetizing here, specifically IAG , IVN and EGO.   However, this knife catch will probably be my first buy when the dollar cracks its head tomorrow:

Ciao to you all, annoying Italianate friends.   Go out there and buy a beer for a veteran or a current service person, and never be embarrassed to say “Thanks for your service!” to someone in uniform.  They really appreciate it, every time.

 Indeuuuud!

Don’t get me wrong, silver will pull back almost immediately here. And gold should have a nice refrain as well. But all the Glenn Beck modalities aside, let’s not lose sight of the big picture here.

Don’t let the closet commie Keynesians who are currently plaguing the Fly ward you away from the nose in front of your face. It seems there are those who would hew to the belief that the sovrereignity of our currency will remain, unmolested by the tenets of common sense or basic economics. In the words of Lewis Carroll — “Callou Callay, oh frapjous day!’

Nothing to worry about here right?

But then, there’s that old bogey “empiricism,” creeping up to spoil their party once again. One example?

Does this indicate an overbought investment?  Well, sure.  For the last ten years now.   In fact, that’s why perhaps the silver sister has finally begun catching up, and the ratio between the two has begun shrinking.

But there’s still quite a bit of room to go:

Even silver looks a bit overbought right now, doesn’t it?  Yes, in fact, I may take some of my leverage off early this week as a result.  That means I’ll likely sell some of the AGQ I re-purchased in the $93 and $96 ranges, and maybe even sell my SLW December $25 calls as well. 

It’s not like I’m going to sell any of my core positions.  That would be foolish, given the disposition of our currency.  The DX-Y chart is what you should be watching, rather than the ephemeral explanations of the “cake and eat it” economics students who’ve recently appeared like noxious mushrooms on these internets.

Don’t let their quibbles with Glenn Beck or any other broadcast polemicist stay you from your review of the empirical data.  The dollar will bounce, likely at $74 or so.  But that gato will be expired before you can cash your small beer change. 

Friends, the dollar is the Dallas Cowboys of the currency world.  It may have another touchdown or two in its future, but those brief triumphs will be wreathed by tragedy.

Indubitably.

I still like EGO, if you’re looking for a latter day saint.  Also, IAG is probably a pullback look.

You may be familiar with my call that gold and silver are overbought and should be pulling back here. Well, I still stand by that call, and as proof, today I sold approximately 25 to 40% of my EXK, BAA, AGQ, CDE, respectively .

Note I touched not any of my ANV or SLW, or IAG or RGLD, EGO or PAAS or any of my “core group.”    The reason is the Stairway to Heaven I’ve seen appearing in the charts, particularly the silver commodity’s chart.  First the weekly:

Yes, that’s our eighth week of “steady Eddy” up move we’re witnessing there.   And yet, look at how boringly stair step it seems… almost as if it is some kind of controlled move.  

It looks almost as boring — and maybe alarming — on the daily charts.   Behold:

Not a whole heckuva a lot of pullback in that stairway, eh?  That’s what’s kind of freaking me out from two angles.  First, this is not a “parabolic move” but rather a slow stair-step.  It’s highly unusual for such a volatile metal.  And before you start getting crazy about silver’s tiny market (true), the recent gold commodity charts look exactly like this as well.

It’s almost like someone gave a signal in August that it was time to swap shit dollars — ever so quietly and surreptitiously, like a cafeteria thief replacing roast turkey slices with wedges of liverwurst on all the whole grain wheat sandwich bread — for beautiful ingots of silver and gold.

This action gives me pause, even though I took some mighty profits today in the more volatile PM’s  (I also sold half my shitty BBT position, and trimmed or got rid of some outliers like JAH, KFN and a little VECO). 

This could be traders slowly covering short positions, I guess, in which case, we should ready for a strong pullback, as I’ve noted.   However, this could also be the precursor, the yeast in the bread dough, so to speak, of the parabolic move that I do expect later on this year or in the Spring. 

So we will wait and see, with bated breath, whether Christmas comes early this year… or right… on…. time!

Best to you all.

Word has come down from on high: Le français est interdit!!

Many apologies to those who may enjoy the French, or the French Canuckistanians who often drop by in passing, as their langue – il est “banned.”

Le langue d’amour is especially verboten (no worries, that’s la langue Allemande) in association with mention of large, arse-kicking, three-digit wins in such names as ENTR, SQM and CMI.  No more, mon Capitain.

Pay attention now, because this is important.  Flibberty gibbeting about with “we’re crashing, no, we’re rocketing” is fun, if you have the time, but paying attention to secular bulls on pullback pays cash money every time.  

Right now is one of those times.  Gnashing your teeth about missing the (oft-preambled) stratospheric rise in ANV and SLW?  Curious about RGLD and EXK?   PAAS and EGO?  

Now is your time to step up and contribute to your  fortune.   Stop screwing around and get serious already.

That is all.

“Catch the wave and you’re sittin’ on top of the world…”

— Emperor Leto II,  Atreides

Yes, Pop was quite a surfer wasn’t he?   No matter, today’s walk back in nostalgia-land is brought to you by the good dwarves of Moria who remind you “There’s no better time than late August to stuff your goody bag full of shiny robot parts, preferably made out of pure gold and silver.”

As my dear friend and father of the Mentat, Johnz Hopkinz, M. Le Docteur Le Fly likes to say, “To every time there is a season, etcetera, etcetera, Peter Cetera.”

And this hear is the season, young plebs, to stock up on your favourite gold and silver plays.   Today, I banqued mass coinage on AGQ.   I plan to take that trip to at least $70, and moooah.

But the real play here is in the Jacksons of choice — the silver goddess, SLW, its slower little sister, PAAS, and the robust brotherhood of the three middie golds — ANV, EGO and IAG.

If you are of sound mind and body, you might want to spartaculate on even smaller stuff like GSS and BAA and EXK and RBY.   These are all considerations for the coming weeks and months.   Personally I try to own “one of everything” at least.

You never know when you will see extraordinary action out of such crazy outliers like VGZ.   This is why I try to keep an inventory.  If you haven’t the patience of the pocketbook, GDX for the bigs will do, and GDXJ for the smaller names.

Even the execrable TBT seemed to turn today.   I did not add, but then, I’ve got plenty, and I’m happy to support your bid by never selling.  Your welcome.

Be on the alert for my top calls tomorrow and going forward.   The Lord God Emperor has decreed a moratorium on bullsheet currency.   Only true money shall prevail from this point on.

Best to you all.
