Gold & Silver Miners Break Out Despite U.S. Dollar's Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Briefly: In our opinion no speculative positions in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective.
The precious metals market moved higher yesterday, which was in tune with what we've been expecting. The key question is if gold, silver and mining stocks have completed their rally or are they still likely to move higher before turning south again.

Gold Mining and Environment—Facts vs. Myths / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
By Laurynas Vegys, Research Analyst
“I would NEVER invest in a mining company—they destroy land, pollute our water and air, and wreck the habitat of plants and animals.”
These were the points made to me by a woman at a social gathering after I told her what I do for living. She prided herself on her moral high ground and looked upon me with obvious disdain. It was clear that as a mining researcher, I was partly responsible for destroying the environment.

Top Mexican Mid-Tier Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Mexico has been a popular destination for mining companies seeking out their fortunes amidst gold’s secular bull market. And considering the huge lack of modern exploration across its rich precious-metals belts, some of the first movers like Alamos Gold have found smashing success.
Since 2003 Mexico’s gold production has increased by a whopping 390%. This equates to a 2.5m+ ounce increase in annual output, which has vaulted this country to #8 in the global ranks. Alamos Gold’s Mulatos mine has been a big contributor to this growth, with 1.2m+ ounces produced since 2005. And with total resources remaining of 4.9m ounces, it still has a long life ahead of it.

Time Is the Trigger for Equities and Gold Bullion / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Charles Oliver, lead portfolio manager with the Sprott Gold and Precious Minerals Fund, believes the only thing between investors and bigger investment returns on precious metals equities and bullion, especially silver, is time. In this interview with The Gold Report, Oliver discusses silver and gold demand drivers, as well as portfolio ideas that figure to get bigger with time as the trigger.
The Gold Report: "Sell in May and go away" is a common investing axiom but does it have any validity?

Potential Catalyst for Gold and Silver Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Precious Metals continue to be in a long bottoming process that began last summer. Though many quality juniors have already bottomed and while GDX, GDXJ and SIL probably won’t see new lows, the broad sector as a whole is struggling to push out of this long bottoming process. Traders always say price is all that matters and who cares about fundamentals or the why. However, the most astute traders and investors look beyond a simple tool or single sphere of analysis. With respect to precious metals, negative real rates and the direction of inflation are the driving forces. Deflation is a catalyst for precious metals because policy makers react by suppressing real rates. Rising inflation is a catalyst and especially when it causes real rates to go negative or more negative. I will explain why this could be the catalyst for the revival of precious metals sector.

Gold Discovery of the Decade, On Sale / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
By Louis James, Chief Metals & Mining Investment Strategist
Sell in May and go away?
Precious metals tend to exhibit a seasonal pattern to their price trends, with summer weakness that leads to strength in the fall. Add to this the fact that mineral exploration in the Northern Hemisphere, especially in Canada, enters a sort of hibernation during winter months and then reawakens in the spring. With winter drill programs already announced, we typically see less news flow starting about now until well into the summer.

Gold Stocks Rolling Over to Early Summer Low / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Last week we speculated that a decline in May would create an opportunity. We concluded: The near term prognosis looks cut and dry. Until proven otherwise the short-term trend is down. If that is confirmed in the coming days then let these markets fall to strong support before buying. The Ukraine-induced alleged safe haven bid for Gold could be starting to come out of the market. Regardless of the cause, the charts for the miners (and Gold) continue to urge caution as lower prices are likely ahead before the next major turn.

Gold, What About The Precious Metals Stocks Complex? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Before we look at the weekend charts I would like to quickly go over our three portfolios as some of you think I maybe not managing the risk portion correctly. As you know we have three portfolios made up of three different types of stocks. The Junior Portfolio is for the small cap PM stocks. The Model Portfolio is made up of the bigger cap stocks that can be precious metals stocks or stock market stocks or etf.s. The Kamikaze Portfolio is the speculative portion of the three portfolios , in which we generally trade the 3 X etf's.
Right now the Junior Portfolio is 100% cash waiting to be invested when the time is right. If you recall we caught part of the December to the March rally where we were 100% invested. After the March top we went to 100% cash with a small profit.

May Decline in Gold and Silver Stocks Would Create Opportunity / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Last week we noted that the gold and silver shares had formed a short-term rebound in response to an oversold condition. Yet we felt that the downtrend that originated from the hard reversal in March was still in effect. As we go to publish, the rebound appears to be petering out. Be aware that there is more potential downside in May. The good news is a decline in May will likely create a great buying opportunity at the end of the month and in June.

Gold Miners - End of the Bear Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
The analysis of the past twenty years of the Miners Index is showing that an important bottom has been printed in December 2013. The Miners Index’s symmetrical sequence and also the relation between the Miners and the 78.6 Fibonacci Number (both in Price and Time) are validating this major low.

Gold Mining Stocks Break Out but Gold Price Fails to Follow / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Briefly: In our opinion no speculative positions are justified from the risk/reward perspective.
The situation in the precious metals sector remains tense - miners have broken above the declining resistance line, while gold hasn't. However, taking Friday's intraday move in the USD into account, we can say more about the gold-USD link. Let's take a closer look (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Gold and Silver Stocks Begin Oversold Bounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
The bottoming process for gold and silver shares has been arduous as they’ve oscillated back and forth for almost a year. We noted a month ago that the failed breakout in March was strong evidence that an interim top was in place. Heading into this week it looked like the miners would fall further before finding support. However, over the past two days the sector clearly reversed its short-term course. For now this appears to be a rebound from an oversold bounce.

Gold and Miners Outperform Once Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
Briefly: In our opinion no speculative positions are justified from the risk/reward perspective.
Yesterday’s price action in the precious metals market might seem perplexing to some investors and there’s good reason for it. Gold declined, but silver didn’t, and mining stocks actually managed to rally more than 1%. Let’s take a closer look (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

The Dark Side Of The Silver Mining Industry / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
There is an insidious Dark Side to the silver mining industry that goes unnoticed by the majority of investors and analysts. Actually, I haven't come across one mining analyst who puts out comprehensive data on this very subject for the silver mining industry.
According to my figures for 2013, the top primary silver miners suffered the lowest average silver yield ever. That's correct... another year of declining ore grades and yields.

Gold and Silver Stocks Sitting Tight / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
In today’s Weekend Report I’m going to post a ton of charts so you can see what I’m seeing and why the Kamikaze Portfolio is fully invested in the 3 X short the precious metals complex etf’s. Before we look at the charts we need to discuss why it’s so important to hold your ground during this impulse move lower. I don’t know how many times its been posted at the forum but the great trader Jessie Livermore said “The real money he made was identifying the big trend and SITTING TIGHT!!!” That means you don’t try to trade every little wiggle the market throws at you. When you try to do that you will eventually find yourself on the outside looking in. If you are an experienced trader that’s a different story but for most folks trading in and out of an impulse move is a loosing proposition as some of you are already finding out.

When Stock Market Bubble Crashes, Take Refuge in Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
An overinflated equities market could be good news for metals and mining stocks. In this interview with The Gold Report, Morning Notes Publisher Michael Berry shares two scenarios that could follow an imminent crash and four gold companies that could be perfectly positioned to take advantage of a reset credit market.
The Gold Report: Mike, you've been watching the stock market and, by extension, the precious metals markets very closely for signs of a larger equity market blow-off that could send gold higher. What makes you think the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NASDAQ are in a bubble? What are the signs that a crash might be imminent?

Fourth Reversals in The Gold and Silver Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2014
In this Weekend Report I would like to look under the hood of some of the precious metals stocks indexes to see what is really taking place. We'll look at a bunch of PM stocks to get a feel for where we are in the short, intermediate and long term pictures. When one just observes an index you really don't get to see, in detail, the stocks that make up that index that could be showing some important clues to the overall big picture. For instance, there are just three or four of the biggest of the big cap precious metals stocks that account for a large percentage move for say the HUI. There are many more stocks in the index but they don't carry as much weight.
