And the envelope please....

GG's pivot points indicate it's low was put in April 5 at $40.47. It also made a Chapman Wave Peak "F" Bottom on the daily. So what goes down will now go up.

 

Answer... $40.47

 

And the envelope please.....

 

Question... What is an awful bottom call for GG?

HUI has gone from traveling sideways to breaking down below $480 to confirm a rounding tops formation. Now the correction begins but you have to find a bottom first. Strong long term supports at the $400 and $380 areas. Extreme long term bottoms line from 2001 hits around $275.

 

I would think the $400 or $380 levels would hold since drawing a long term line near those levels from 2001 would be a good rate of ascent in a long term bull.

 

Another 'backup the truck' moment if you have any cash left. Even being lucky with one or two long shots, doesn't help now if holding a large portfolio. Even trying to trade the miners is tough without price swings.

 

Watch silver, still hasn't crashed $30. Don't know if it will. Only Norcini has mentioned lower targets if $30 gives way. Armstrong charges $300 now for his gold predictions but the gold action is definitely following his patterns that is/was contrary to most typical thinking.

Does this look like a good buy with high P/E and low growth

I think gold is an asset class at a bubble valuation that should be currently avoided. Personally, I sold mine last summer. The following graph courtesy of Goldprice.org says it all. Gold was an attractive investment in the late 1990's to early 2000's, but it is clearly at extremely high levels now. Therefore, I would suggest taking some (or even all) profits. As I have written before, I feel that fixed income (bonds, etc.) is also at an extreme, and therefore, I temporarily also favor avoiding this asset class. I feel that asset classes should only be used for diversification when they are prudent and sound. To force money into a dangerous investment solely for an artificial commitment to diversification makes no sense to me.

20 years of non log non inflation compensated chart are an insult to staticians

 

The answer for me is 3000 to 5000 depending on the amount of confetti printed

 

Price of gold has no relation to confetti production; if that was the case then Gold would be over 15k.

 

It’s all about reserve currency. I am getting less bullish about gold due to last dislocation where it done badly, US Bond is the ultimate safe haven, if there is a dislocation next week gold will do badly

 

 

 

There are no bond vigilantes to come after the USA for fear of solvency. There is simply no such thing. The only form of insolvency the USA faces is in the form of hyperinflation and that is a very different phenomenon than the one we currently are at risk of.

 

Comparing an EMU nation to the US Federal government is a terrible flaw that we see day after day. It contributes nothing but fear to the conversation and exposes the fear mongerer as having a severe misunderstanding of the workings of monetary systems. Well over a year ago I warned of this fear mongering. Luckily, we have not succumbed to it

 

Bond traders in the USA get this. If there is one axiom that holds true in U.S. government bond markets it is “Don’t fight the Fed”. I doubt that all US government bond traders understand the idea that there is no solvency issue at the US Federal level, but they do understand that the Fed essentially controls the entire curve via short-term policy moves. They know it because they’ve watched men like Niall Ferguson, (who has been ranting about surging US government bond yields for almost an entire decade) make this mistake based on faulty analysis.

Divide by money supply/ debt if you want a dollar relative value.

Otherwise you are just showing how screwed up the money supply/ debt is.

We live in a world where Paper currency rules the wave, can’t buy anything without it. Debt isn’t priced in Gold and debt has to be repaid in toilet papers try paying it back in gold without converting

 

Try Buying Gold with anything other than Dollar

Note: With the caveat that I have no expertise in point and figure chart reading and all I have done is observed these charts and saw that they seem to work giving projections. I thought I would post them to share with the board these observations.

 

The first chart taken from Stock Charts.com ($gold) traditional 3 box reversal (close) dated 1-11-2010.

 

(A) Using the box count for the head and shoulders bottom portion was 45 boxes x $5.00 each = $225 add to the breakout of $1000 = $1225 it hit $1227.50 one half box more.

 

(cool.gif If you count all the boxes from the breakout down to the head adding one box when you start down from the top left side then add one box starting up the right side by the head the total comes to 178 boxes x $5.00 each =$890.00 to this you add the actual breakout high of $1033.70 which equals $1923.70 it hit $1923.70.

 

 

Let see where we are now in gold. April 28, 2012. In the second chart taken from the privateer.com $usgold 5 x 3 p&f since 1985.

 

(A) The head and shoulders bottom portion projects to $2532.50

 

(cool.gif The outside box projection as a minimum today already projects to $4798.70 so as we add more boxes on our way up to the breakout the projection will be even higher.

 

The reason I use two different charting services for the example is because they are both in $5.00 increments.

 

This assumes that it continues in the head and shoulders pattern and it does what it did before.

 

I also have worked the charts from the $250 start of the bull to $733.40 and $733.40 to $1033.40 if anyone is interested in seeing them.
