Current Thoughts 10/29/2017

Where we go next in precious metals, may be determined by market sentiment as we can see greed is good, or at least for those long stocks. But let’s dig a little deeper and get a dose of reality and see if what you hear from CNBC about stocks going up for ever is actually based on any type of economic reasoning.  From there you’ll possibly want to buy this dip in gold and silver for the next leg up. $1,240-$1,250 is still my low end call. $1,370+ the next move up target.

GDP was good on Friday, but without the tech FANG stocks, the markets really didn’t do much. Futures down slightly this afternoon (Sunday). Some data from Dennis Gartman’s Friday newsletter below.

 I’d like to zoom out and add something here I am putting in the update of my Buy Gold and Silver safely book. It has to do with how really overvalued this stock market is based on GDP growth. We used to judge the GDP being good when we would be in the 5% to 10% level from the 50’s through the 80’s. But since the immediate jump after the 2009 crash, we have had a stagnant growth in GDP. Yet the stock market is at all time highs? The Fed can’t even get 2% inflation and is raising rates? Why? If the economy is not ready for a raise in rates, it’s the wrong medicine as we’ll see soon enough. Yes, the old gray mare; she ain’t what she used to be.

 

If I had to choose for the next few months gold or the Dow as to what would give me a better return, it wouldn’t be the Dow.
