New Jacksonian Core Holding: I Am Gold

"I am Gold, am I not?"
"I am Gold, am I not?"

 

Not a lot of time for explication on this one, as I’ve got a lax game to get to.   I’ve owned IAG (NYSE) (PPT: Buy) on and off, and have had a small amount since the $HUI started looking good again, back in March.   I went back in and got some more today on this consolidation breakout, at around $9.25.   I will probably will wait for a test of that zone to get any more.  

 In any case, I’m officially putting this one in the Jacksonian Core, as I believe it’s “all grown up” now, and ready for long term hold.   I think you can see from my notes on the daily and weekly, why I think it’s an emerging power.   I like stocks that break out from long consolidations, especially when the market favours (sic) their sector.

    Bluth- no, “long term” means long term, like for the extent of this bull cycle in gold, which I expect to last anywhere from another one to four years.

    Bruce- I expect to see the $HUI at 375 before our next rest. Low energy prices and strong PM prices are a good combo for our miners.

    Jake,
    If (when) the IMF sells their gold, might be a better entry, no?

    IMF answers to their gold holdings and possible sales:

    http://www.imf.org/External/NP/EXR/faq/goldfaqs.htm

    “If gold is sold on the market, rather than to another official gold holder, the Crockett Committee recommended that such sales be phased over time in order to avoid disruption of the gold market.”

    Golds has already gone parabolic and bounced around 1000 twice. What makes you think it will keep going?

    Sure —

    As “Old Turkey” told Jesse Livermore:

    “Well, this is a bull market, you know!

    I recommend reading E8’s article, especially the part regarding the IMF’s reasons for holding gold in the first place.

    It is the same reason we do.

    Jake, here’s my problem with the Jacksonian Core. Barely up or flat today while my other long holdings (minus FTK) are pretty much kicking ass.

    It’s hard to allocate funds into these names when I see stocks running all over.
