I continue to have that wall of worry feeling RE: gold. This move today into tomorrow could take us a little above 50dma. Reshorting DIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharma Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 1198, 1213, and 1229 breaks into the next cycle. week 12 of the 15 week cycle. not sure we are ready to run here. i am all in http://www.kingworldnews.com/kingworldnews/Broadcast/Entries/2010/8/4_Pierre_Lassonde_.html some thoughts the perpetrators of this financial calamity will go unscathed and make billions while joe is homeless , jobless, and hungry! justice!? we dont need no stinkin justice! the banksters will make fortunes the most undervalued asset class is the miners. they can mine gold for 4-500 an ounce and sell it for 1200 . finding good management teams is key. they need to be able to execute , and not just on their stock options. oil @82+ wheat up over 50% in a month grains starting to bust moves yup , brings back memories and yet nero fiddles 1198,1213 are resistance and 1229 busts into the next price cycle. dont know if we are starting the next leg up here. i look @the 15 week cycle due to bottom the last week in august, week 12 here and now. its only a matter of time. the banksters have reduced their gigantic short positions in the metals and are now net long. their arrival portends violent swings. the banksters dont have patience. i think phase 3 starts soon. i expect volatility to go off the charts in the gold market. not one limit up day , yet. 2008 was the death of financial assets 2010 will start the death of fiat. worthless , pointless , fake promises! dharma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton blocked and reported it . the 15 week cycle is from low to low, so its why i am cautious. doesnt have to be a lower low. but, a low week 12 here yes, i saw that @tt forum, so i just went away. dharma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whadda I Do Whadda I Do Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 No guarantees but NG NEM NGD GG and the aforementioned gaps should fill during op-ex week. That is the usual scenario. Should fulfill wishes of just a bounce here and TA predictions to satisfy a bottoming. Sell soon then buy back? The only thing that matches up with the Droopy long term chart is declining production. A few near producers should get a look soon as the big guys need new sources just to maintain the status quo. How successful the manipulators are during op-ex week should give a clue as to the intensity of a run up into the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearvest Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 GOLD and EURO: Lately, they've been linked. EURO looks toppy--MACD histogram divergence, 5 waves up, confirmed doji candle, gap fill, test of extreme trendline. The embedded Stochastic keeps me away from a short trade.

Whadda I Do Whadda I Do Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 BV's euro chart shows why the US$ is under pressure since the comparison basket is filled with euros more than any other currency. In other words, if you want the US$ to look bad you make the euro look good, actually they both suck. Interesting the new health care was fashioned to punish non-participators with fines being assessed via the IRS during tax season and as soon as the new law is challenged government gets up and claims they have the constitutional authority to levy taxes..... The law describes the levy on the uninsured as a "penalty" rather than a tax. The Justice Department brushes aside the distinction, saying "the statutory label" does not matter. The constitutionality of a tax law depends on "its practical operation," not the precise form of words used to describe it, the department says, citing a long line of Supreme Court cases. Opponents contend that the "minimum coverage provision" is unconstitutional because it exceeds Congress' power to regulate commerce. Even stranger than that, the New York Times reports on it.

AgentSmith Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I shorted at begin, noon, and end of day yesterday. Covered a good percentage this morning but keeping some. At EOD yesterday I picked up some insurance calls on SPY - first time buying the weekly options...would never buy them except for short-term insurance. My thought was that I would be perfectly happy if the insurance went to 0...would mean my main positions were kicking butt. Well, positions went in my favor this morning and on the weak bounce here I just dumped the insurance...happily took a small loss on the insurance. Broad markets not giving me good vibes...I'm looking to stay net short. For gold I was looking for a retest of 1190, we almost got it (1193). I haven't put back any trading positions there. Nice move in DBA. Peeled off my UNG trade yesterday at 7.99 for small gains...pressure is building but I think I have a little time to hold off. edit: well, after writing about UNG I took a look and see it just cratered back to 7.84...I picked up a quarter position in Oct. $8 calls @ .59 (had sold them at .64). edit: NEM, which has been a leader, hasn't participated in this bounce - this has me somewhat concerned (at least noted..).

AgentSmith Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 If gold is to stay in a bullish configuration, this is the place to buy. Once again, it's kissing the uptrend line that's been formed from the bottom. I have picked up a quarter position. edit: another quarter position in UNG @ .53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentSmith Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Counter-trend trade working for me again. The other day I say this move could take gold slightly above the 50dma - on GLD that's 118.49, premarket we are trading 17.96. If the pattern holds, we'll have further upside but then I'll get cautious short-term. SPY is down a full dollar in premarket, which will do wonders for my combination short-term (August $114) and long-term puts. edit: sold short-term puts on the open (keeping long-term puts) (these are at 2.60 now) SPY Aug 21 2010 114.0 Put Limit 2.99 -- -- 09:31:13 08/06/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
