Gold took all day to figure out what it wanted to do today while silver was down the entire day. Watch $1,244 to be taken out for the bullish trend to continue and $1,200 for the bearish case. $17.23 bull and $16.61 bear for silver. If you notice, silver acted more like the deflationary metal today where we saw copper, …
Read MoreGold moved past the resistance in the morning only to come back down by the afternoon. Silver finally moved higher as it was lagging gold and triggered a green weekly arrow which is bullish. While the mining ETFs all still have green weekly arrows, they did take a hit today. JNUG lost 10%, GDXJ 3.8% and GDXJ 4.37%. After hitting …
Read MoreIn yesterday’s Current Thoughts I made the following observation on mining stocks; Right now we are moving higher and that is the trend. Buy the dips or go long until the daily arrow turns red. This has been the trade since Dec. 31, 2014 when when JNUG first turned green on the weekly. Today we saw JNUG up 15.87% to …
Read MoreGold and silver have continued their climb higher and with it the miners are continuing their bounce as well. In my 2015 Predictions for Gold and Silver I wrote on Friday I spoke about the indicators I see that tell me the final lows of gold and silver are not in.

Read MoreGold and silver couldn’t break out today and both finished slightly down for the day. All the mining ETFs took a hit and JDST hit a higher high bounce off the mid $9 range to close at $11.05.

Read MoreIn yesterday’s Current Thoughts I said to expect some volatility today with the Fed’s minutes coming out from their December meeting. We got just that as you can see from the charts of both JNUG and JDST below. Down, up, down, up, down. That’s the definition of volatility. We are still technically in an upward trend and the risk reward is …
Read MoreYesterday I was looking for the sign of gold to catch up to the miners and today we got just that. The gold price gave us a green arrow up on GLD for the weekly to go along with the green arrows up on all of the mining ETFs. Anyone who bought the higher highs easily made a good profit …
Read MoreMining stocks are definitely leading gold at this point in time. The weekly arrows are now green for all of the mining ETFs. JNUG was the first to go green on Dec. 30th and NUGT and GDX turned green today. Does this mean that everyone should go long the miners? It might be worth a shot but gold is still …
Read MoreGold and silver before the New Years holiday really didn’t do much but of note was even with the prices not rising above $1,190, the mining stocks did quite well and JDST broke down. Both metals have opened higher in Asia and they seem to want to go higher but I’m not convinced until gold is over $1,200 and silver …
