We’ve finally done it…  we’ve broken into “free air” on the Miner’s Chart — the venerable $HUI Gold Bugs Index.   Come see it for yourself:

I did a lot of things today in celebration of our free air moment.   First, I covered quite a few of my hedges in ANV and SLW and GDX, some at a loss some at break even.  The ANV was particularly egregious, but we’ll try not to dwell on that.  I still have about a 20% hedge on SLW and about 30% of ANV still hedged.   You’ll note the overbought stochastics and relative strength indicators on the above chart, I’m sure.  That’s my reason for retaining a little hedge.

But let’s not kid ourselves, the dollar is busted, and headed all the way to Target #4 without even a passing “hey howaya?” to Target #3.  Cheggitout:

Sure, we may get a little bounce at $77, but look at what happened after that last bounce.   No, I think the dollar is dead as Jacob Marley on burnt toast.

So please, get out of any silly short positions you may be contemplating “holding out” for.  There’s far more easy hunting out there than going after an Alaskan grizzly with a plastic butter knife.

In addition to releasing most of my hedges today, I also doubled down on an initial IAG long call position (DEC $17.50’s) at $1.60 a piece today.  My original purchase of 80 was at 90 cents each.   I expect IAG to be over $20 before Santa arrives.   I also added a touch more EXK, which was gluttonous of me.  I now own more of that than I even do SLW, though the share price is lower.

Of course, I think EXK will be the next SLW, so there’s a method to my sleep deprived madness.  I also really like RGLD here, and it looks like it’s ready to launch once again.  

My best to you, and to yours.

Coupe la tête?

Quite a day today, non?  Up another 3% and looking for more, despite the heinous allegations made by some of the ultimate Louis the XVI exit of our precious metals bull.

A vicious canard, but forgivable given the circumstances of the day.

And don’t believe a word out of those frenzied (and way late) hugger-muggers in the Japanese Ministery of Finance.  Who do they think they are kidding “intervening” in the rheaming (sic) of the U.S. greenback?   What effrontery!  All the fools do is make a mint for those fading them.  Why George Soros– the rosy-nosed blaggard– will finance half the New York electoral ticket on this move alone!

What’s our friend Baby Huey say about how close we are to “fini” on this move?  You tell me:

And one to look at for the coming Santa ride…

 

$50 looks like a nice entry if your thinking of it…

Enjoy the good days, and be well.

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.

I hope you all had a fine Labour Day Weekend.   I spent mine fending off a myriad of stressful “deep nature” day trips (with all the kids) whilst trying to cajole–via overheating Crackberry Storm II — both clients and adversaries into a proper canvas and balsa-wood box which I plan to nail shut tomorrow morning and mail to Zambia, postage due.

True, I do this stuff because I love it, but I also do it for Barak and his indigent health care plan.   I want to make sure that shit is well stocked as it launches off the pier.

Given that The PPT is indicating at least a near term pullback, perhaps as early as tomorrow morning, I figure I’d take a look at some loooooonger term plays out there that may be worth taking a pinch of snuff and blowing some loose cash on.

Said loose cash should be in abundance as you all are reaping big gains from the TNA sales you’ve been harvesting as The PPT has directed you, yes?   

Or you’ve at least salted away a couple of dollars by following my direction in ANV or SLW in the last six weeks, am I correuct (sic), sieur?

No?

No matter, as I’ve always got more to give, though it’s questionable whether you deserve it or not…  I think at least two of the following three will work going forward to Christmas, or at least the time of the Turkey gods.  Let’s see if  you can figure out which I think are the best.   First, our recent wilting lady, CREE in a monthly chart:

Then there’s her somewhat zany half brother in the LED poison industry, VECO:

Then, just for giggles… there’s that one I told you to hold until you were a grandmother, or similar benevolant adult figure.  It really doesn’t need much comment:

Don’t lament that you were not here at the beginning of the bull in precious metals.  Rather, take advantage of a trend that still lives.   Andgo ahead,  fool around with a couple or three tech names as well, but be cautious, as those should be shorter term plays (within this year) than the PM’s.

Best to you all, and Happy Labours.   Try to keep hold off some of it, eh?

Right now (12:20 am, July 29th), the dollar is below it’s support line of $82.00 at $81.993.   If this break holds, the next stop is $80, and MOOOOOOORRRE!

I am not going to screw around with any charts, as I am tired even unto my bones.   But don’t let this minor negligence keep you from the Christmas presents that you can gather and mail yourselves early, here in late July.

You know the recommendations.  If you don’t you can surely ask.   I’ve added to my hordes of SLW, ANV, EGO and IAG in the last two days, and tomorrow, I may even add some AGQ and EXK and PAAS because I think the silver exposure here could be even more bountiful than that of the gold.

Lastly, RGLD is right on on it’s 24-month EMA, and that’s held as support since the end of 2008.  That’s right, you read that right.   I have metric tonnes of this stock (like I do SLW), but I may even get some more myself tomorrow, as it’s some 15%  from its recent highs, and I think it, too, is done pulling back.

Caveat: there may be some more “down” to go, but I would be reluctant to bank on it.   These are rare times, and rare times often mean opportunity.

Best to you all.

It’s called work.  I’m back home, and I’ve got tonnes of it.  I shall be out of the office again for three days this week and have all manner of personal and personnel issues to work through.   What’s worse, my right hand man is taking this week off (and deservedly so, as I’ve been working him like a Sherpa in tourist season).

I did have a chance to look through the charts tonight, however,  and I continue to believe two things.   One, this rally will continue, most likely after a slight pause that will either accompany or ensue from a dollar strengthening.   It won’t be much, but enough to continue working out it’s current oversold condition.  

This week would not be the week to add to the TNA (D’Rex Triple Russell), in other words.   It may be a decent week to continue looking at the PM recovery that firmed last week, however.   This is especially true if we’re given a bit of respite with the dollar strengthening.

As the daily AMEX Gold Bug ($HUI) chart show, that rebound off the oversold levels has occurred.  If the cycle continues as it has, we should see at least $490 again, and perhaps even new highs, depending on what the dollar decides.   Here’s the latest in a series:

I would continue to add to strong names that look like they’ve bottomed for this cycle, especially IAG, ANV and EGO in the golds, and SLW and PAAS in the silvers.   RGLD — the royalty banker — is also extremely attractive at these levels.

Feeling adventurous?  Gobble some EXK.   Or gobble some more, in that case.   I can’t tell you how much that stock reminds me of SLW, and even it’s ultimate parent WHT (now known as GG) in the bad old days of the early 2000’s.  I believe it will eventually provide similar rewards.

Someday, you will thank me for nagging you on all this.

Best to you all.
