Zut, Alors!

Some of you may wish to take this opportunity to weep like a disgruntled Maginot Line engineer a week after the Blitz (see above).
That’s right it’s crying time again. That time when the gold and silver bulls that as of late have been so docile and yielding of fresh milk (as far as you know) have now grown into raging Tauruses (Taurii?), trampling your bloated carcass and rifling your pockets for loose Good & Plenties.
But let’s check our calendars shall we? Has Sinterklaas arrived already, muling his burlap bag of kittens and freshly polished wooden clogs?
Has Mother already placed a large roasted poultry on the dusty “for guests only” dining room table and surrounded it with gut-stuffing, cream-embossed ancillary vegetation seen — thankfully — only once a year?
For that matter, have even any cleverly disguised neighborhood brats beaten on your manor door, claiming King’s Right upon any nougat resident?
No?
Well, then, heck — go order a Kung Pao or something. Take the day off. Feed the birds. Go have a pigeon sandwich with pigeon sauce on the side.
Or if you’re of a mind, and have recently grubbed some coin selling an egregious biotech hand grenade with your one remaining three fingered hand, see if there aren’t some glittery bargains out there you may have missed the first time around.
Caution — nothing’s really much of a bargain, valuation wise. To buy here you’ll have to accept the thesis that we are “dollar unhinged” at this point, and that gold and silver are going quite a bit higher. If you’ve been with me since inception, you’ve probably bought into that much.
We’ll look at the dollar later tonight. There will be a low and a rebound, but I don’t think it’s coming until [[UUP]] is down below $22.00. That said, we’ll remain cautious.
There’s not a ton out there that I’m eyeing to add, but that’s only because I’m so “jug full” at this point. I continue to think the silvers offer the best opportunity, so I may want to look at the double POS(ilver) [[AGQ]] .
I also think [[PAAS]] is an opportunity here, thanks to yesterday’s sell-off on the merger news.
[[CDE]] is hardly taking a breath (and I forgot to include it in yesterday’s list, my bad).
Silver Standard Resources Inc. (USA) [[SSRI]] has been lagging, but it’s known to catch up rather quickly.
Silver Wheaton Corp. (USA) [[SLW]] is of course my favourite (sic) silver,and don’t forget mighty mite [[EXK]] .
On the gold side, my current favourite — and non-Jackson — Allied Nevada Gold Corp. [[ANV]] is pulling back here. I also like Yamana Gold Inc. (USA) [[AUY]] and [[BAA]] on this pullback.
Of the Jackson golds, Royal Gold, Inc. [[RGLD]] is “the one” I choose above all others, thanks to its royalty leverage. IAMGOLD Corporation (USA) [[IAG]] and Eldorado Gold Corporation (USA) [[EGO]] have also been champions and will see the 20’s by Christmas, in my opinion.
One last thing, platinum is really picking up after lagging here, and I think [[PTM]] is very close to “BTFO” in the $16.50 area. This is one to have in your portfolio as a “core holding” along with [[SLV]] and [[GLD]] , in my humblest opinion.
That’s enough for now. Go to the boulangerie and weep over an anisette and black-black coffee.
