The stock market continues to price in a V-shaped recovery, which I find very unlikely. More and more companies are filing for bankruptcy every week, and I see that trend continuing. The destruction to the economy will likely take one to two years to fully realize. What we are witnessing is something called creative […]
Continue Reading →-GDX- Miners are at critical resistance. Prices closed above the gap and above the $25.50 level, but below the 50-day EMA. If this is a convincing rebound, as I suspect, then prices should turn lower by tomorrow or Friday. A powerful surge above the 200-day would imply a breakout, and I’d consider a long position. […]
Continue Reading →The urge to jump into gold and miners may be overwhelming for some investors. I suggest caution as the first wave of bottom pickers usually regret their decision. I’ve been doing this for a while, and I’ve seen massive swings in precious metals. Through experience, I learned to be patient and to wait for […]
Continue Reading →Several miners and silver companies are rallying or near positive territory despite sharply lower precious metals (paper price). Premiums on bullion have jumped. I want to see if the morning boost is just a gap fill or real demand. It was a long scary weekend for people. So, if it’s just retail traders freaking […]

Precious metal prices collapsed throughout the week, especially on Friday. I’m curious to see next week’s COT report. I bet the commercials reduced their short positions dramatically. […]

What do people do whenever fear is high? They rush to precious metals! Human nature is very predictable. What is insanely cheap […]

Fear is Contagious Never in human history has news traveled so fast. Social media spreads fear at the speed of light. Naturally, when confronted with a potentially harmful outcome, humans ALWAYS expect the […]

Oil prices plummeted over 20%, achieving a low of $27.00 overnight (currently $31.50). The 10-Year Treasury yield crashed to 0.38% and is currently trading around 0.46%. Unbelievable! The […]
