Can you handle it?

Not as well known a ditty as “Red sun at night, sailor’s delight,” but far more remunerative.  

First, my apologies for not being able to interact last night save by teeny tiny Crackberry screen, which after a day of meetings off-site (I am on the coast now), left my weary eyes strained.   I’ve never actually attempted to post from a hand-held device, save for comments, and I’m wondering if any of my fellow bloggers have. 

No matter, I’m here briefly to let you know we are at an inflection point, in case you haven’t noticed.  The dollar has broken some significant support levels at $82, and I think it’s next stop — and quickly there- will be $80.   I think old Ben has finally gone and done it and broken the bank.  Your only respite will be equities an precious metals in the near term.   For the long term it will be only the latter, I’m afraid. 

In the meantime, as it always seems to happen, I am enjoying “large phallused gains” in almost every category of my holdings, but none more so than the precious, and specifically silver and gold.   One of my correspondants was wondering about possibly putting on some more IAG exposure for the short term rebound.  Now would be that time, young chappo. 

Also, all the silver gods and dogs should move today and through this expansion as silver has easily crushed the $20 resistance mark and is now back on its way to all time highs.  I may take this opportunity to add some leverage to my holding through some DEC call action on SLW.  I may add also to some “permanent options” like EXK and GSS.

In short, the PM’s are like fat, slow blind juicy turkeys out there and you are armed with a blunderbuss on the third week of November.  Go forth pilgrim, and pacify.

Apologies, Madmoiselle, you are not welcome here!  Allez!

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.

No, Not That

___________________________________

We’ve been talking about gold knocking da boots all through the summer and largely ignoring the August of Despair the lot of you have been whinging about for the better part of six weeks.   And, it is treu (sic) that Jake favourite (sic) ANV has been rocking the world since that bounce off the 200 day EMA ($16.00), closing today up well over 50%  from there at $24.48.    Sure, IAG and EGO have been ripping nicely along as well since that call.

But let me take a second to talk about the next best thing that you may be able to get some anticipatory positioning for…  And no, I don’t mean Christina… she’s already big.

I’m talking about gold’s stealthy, if annoying cousin, silver… which has been making silent steps in the last few weeks to join it’s more yellowy cousin.   Take a look at this recent medium term breakout in the metal price —

It’s a little overbought on the daily chart, but there’s more room to launch on the weekly, as you can see.   Now let’s look at a junior silver I like — EXK — which has been moving nicely recently as well.  Note, it has a similar “intermediate” target:

What’s nice about both of these is that we’ve got a nice “short term play” for you OTB degenerate gamblers, and also a very clear — and approaching — big time breakout opportunity.

It’s gonna be a great Fall for gold and silver ladies and germs… let’s watch the goalposts here to trade appropriately.

Christina had a great day today, as earlier tallied.   She still loves SLW the best of all the silvers, but PAAS and even SSRI looked good today along with friend EXK.  

Our new theme epigraph — Get gilded, or be gelded.

Best to you all.

It’s late and I just got home.  Burning the candle on both ends is probably not the best idea for your trusty Jacksonian surveyor, but I think we are coming into a critical period that may require some re-enforcement for loyal plebs seeking to make sense of this dollar killing precious metal market.  Therefore I post…

Silver is beginning to make great stirrings in the market and in the loins of pit traders across the globe.  Interestingly, the metal is still lagging some of it’s more accurate pre-indicators, specifically, it’s publicly traded miners.   Among the finest is that of SLW, whose weekly chart reveals that it has broken to new highs:

It appears SLW is just now breaking out to new highs in the weekly, and may have some runway left, stochastically speaking, even as it approaches oversold conditions.

The underlying metal, however, illustrated here in the guise of the widely held ETF,  SLV, seems to have much more potential momentum in front of it.   Look at this weekly:

 

In short, I would not be short silver or the miners here, and I would be looking at those resistance lines as a key to my adding regimen.   If the above lines are broken, then I believe the remainder of the silver miners will begin to show the same kind of new high action we are seeing in the high quality SLW right now.

Again, to reiterate, I am talking about PAAS, EXK, MVG, SSRI and even CDE and HL here.  Watch these in conjunction with the chart above and with Papa SLW, who will continue to lead the way.

My best to you and your mithril mail shirt assembly’ing.

“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.

Yes it is….

I haven’t a whole lot to add, save that I expect a ripping bounce (at least) if not a further resumption of the dollar bow-out.   We actually came within four cents of hitting $82.50 after hours on the DXY (dollar index) and I wouldn’t be surprised if she tried for the 50-day at $83.06 after such a ramp.

That said, The PPT is very deeply oversold and that’s worked as a signal for me for the duration, so I will respect it.   The dollar has already busted into overbought territory on the 5-day RSI stochastic, and even the slow stoch is  catching up after being severely oversold just yesterday.  Expect volatility, but continue to expect dollar death.  It’s already back down to $82.25 this evening.

For tomorrow, in time-honored The PPT tradition, I will be soaking in a mixture of Epsom salts and TNA at the open.   As an after-bath aperitif, I will be enjoying a balsamic vinaigrette and gin reduction of ENTR, which wants higher, despite today’s crazy ride.

Gold is holding steady and so is silver.  Add to long term plays as you see fit.  RBY was even up today, God bless her.

Best to you all.
