Not Your Normal Monday

Well, here we go. Another week is starting but its clearly not going to be a regular, boring week. Anyone, including The Great and Powerful Turd, who claims to know where things are headed this week is either a fool or intent on selling you something.

Did anyone else have trouble getting "news" over the weekend? I found myself relying upon ZeroHedge for updates. Not TV, not even Drudge. And I simply have zero faith that the Japanese government is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Since it is clear that about every imaginable scenario is "on the table" in Japan, no one knows what this week holds. ZH has maintained since last month that Saudi would feel the uprising by March 20. Well, that's only 6 days away, too. Again, no one knows.

As this pertains to PM prices....again, no one knows. There certainly seem to be plenty of would-be chartreaders and cyclists out there warning you to sell everything before its too late. I would caution you against taking their advice. Heading into last week, we only had guesses and speculation about where the PMs would find support in a selloff. After last week's action, we thankfully now have hard data. I'm not even thinking about selling anything until and unless our now-confirmed support levels are broken. The charts, to me, still look positive and ready to break higher so the last thing I want to do is be out. Here is your daily gold chart which, frankly, looks great. Its basing above old resistance and has a clear level now that needs to be watched for signs of a breakdown and change of trend.
 Silver, too, looks just fine. Support held beautifully last week near 34 and now we have a very clear point where below it we can begin to get cautious. There still seems to be a concerted effort to suppress price below $36, including last evening, so that level should be watched with interest. However, this chart looks like it wants to begin another thrust UPward pretty soon.
The Death Star is now open for business and things are moving UP nicely. This is a very good sign of overall PM demand given the circumstances. It was much easier to beat the metals back overnight. That they are rallying again so early in the session is quite positive.
April gold: $1430
May silver $36.20

Definitely more later. TF


10:30 EDT UPDATE:
The suppression around $36 continues but for how long...

  2. I am thinking that silver is not going to break its 36.50 until gold is ready to move past its all time highs. I don't necessarily think that it has to happen at the same time, but the rally that sends silver to 37$ may end up being the one where gold breaks its all time highs. We have silver well above previous highs, but gold is trapped in its "quadruaple top."

    Blythe, you have trapped yourself.

    And to Bank of America...
    Your time is coming first...

  3. Yup! With Japan, middle east, & all other chit hittin the fan, doesn't look to be a routine OEX/FOMC week!! Orchestrating the major hits on PM's! Wed eve into Thursday, barring any other significance of Japan meltdown, will be the most likely orchestrated raid! From recent patterns we've learned!

    I stopped checking my stocks obsessively, and watch the price of silver instead. Unless I am specifically thinking of exiting or entering a position, I just let them be. My theory is that they will start to reflect the price in a month or so, and that unless you need to bail because of naked shorting (which happened to us in the tech sector and we just had to accept that we had been had, to the tune of $100K, and almost stopped us from being willing to own stocks at all, which is why we didn't loose what was left of our shirt in 2008) DON'T look.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thanks for the charts Turd. Looks like a very nice cup and handle pattern on the gold chart. I'll be happy to see silver consolidate above 34 for a while and build a base there. But lack of physical may play havoc on the price.

  17. I've been checking ZH over Drudge for news as well. Interesting comment Turd.

  18. Guys do you think is a good time to buy GPR?
    Advice much appreciated.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Actually what happened was so similar to the junior miners thing. My hubby is an engineer and he found a little company with great potential and initially the price performed as expected, and so we bought in bit by bit, as the price rose. But after an initial great rise, it kept getting beaten down and we couldn't figure it out. Well, long story short, it turned out to be on the SEC Reg-SHO list, and we wrote letters, etc., and it was all pointless, and then the company was bought by Google (do no evil - hah!) for a song. There were court cases and it is still on going. But the little guy ain't winning and we cut out loses long ago. Put the chump change on silver, though, and recovering not too badly.

  27. Interesting and painful. I am actually trying not to panic about the miners, and trying to believe that the shorting will end in a squeeze too as the price just pushes the stocks higher. But I know I will check soon - I think maybe I was giving myself advice!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ahhh... but if it is a NATO no-fly zone, act of war isn't needed. Dr. Paul forgets that we have a Senate-ratified treaty with NATO... and treaties are dangerous because they bind us to other nations, and can override the constitution, unfortunately. Dangerous things these ties that bind.

  32. Just a note to Ginger and others who talk about wanting to learn as much as possible ... you may have seen this but if not it speaks well what you can achieve and that the education process is on going ... comments from a Dan Norcini post over the weekend ....

    Tiger-Cat Great said...
    Please forgive my digression, Dan, but I am curious to know, are you self taught or University educated? You don't list one in your bio, but you must have gone to one. Your breadth of knowledge in finance is admirable.

    March 12, 2011 3:57 PM

    Trader Dan said...
    TigerCat - self taught. After two decades of trading you tend to learn a few things if you are still around! There is always room for more improvement however since events have a way of teaching us all if we are humble enough to learn. For example - if anyone would have told me years ago that gold would have been considered a "risk" trade I would have thought that they had one too many beers. Yet that is exactly what happened during the sell off in late 2008 when it was thrown out for a short time as the Yen carry trade was unwound. One would have thought that thousands of years of previous history would make that impossible. Then again, the hedgies are insane!

  33. Gotta love this market. PM flat even though;

    Saudi "invades" Bahrain....not sure Iran will be too happy with that - in fact neither am I here in Dubai.

    Massive "QE" into the japanese system and the repatriation of overseas investments = USDX fall.

    Potential nuclear meltdown, if its not already happened.

    Imminent no fly zone in Libya and ongoing civil war.

    All of this and JPM manages to keep the silver price below 36, i guess they need to hold on until their derivites expire - anyone know when that is?

    crazy times.

  40. Does anybody have an idea how PSLV will perform relative to SLV? It seems like this near 20% premium will be chopped away little by little for a while, can't believe it's down near 2% when slv is flat or slight positive... any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  41. atlee-

    Do you think there is a price target for them, or is this a 'raid as needed until Friday OEX' week?

    We are under financial attack from the big bankers themselves. Anyone else tired of sitting around waiting for things to change?

    This is pathetic to watch and just have to take it. It does not bother me that it is occurring as much as it does not get stopped. What a fucking joke those COT reports are....

  47. my first entry to add AGQ today is 203.50. So this raid may noit be that bad. However, if it goes through that, I am then looking at 179.50. GTLA

    ReplyDelete
  48. The only way to close them down is to take all the physical.

    If Sprott decided to buy at spot from the CRIMEX and deliver to his physical fund he would be able to make a nice profit by selling into his fund at the elevated premium, and in so doing take the physical out of the CRIMEX and become the defacto price discovery mechanism for silver based on actual demand.

    Thats if there is actually any physical left to deliver, Dan Norcini doesnt believe the COT anymore and Harvey Organ seems to think that the small deliveries done so far in march are becaue there isnt any to de;liver to the longs standing for larger deliveries.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I agree Scott. It's obvious our politicians aren't going to do squat since they are funded by the bankers. Threatening to vote for the other guy doesn't do any good either since they are all in bed together regardless of what party they claim to be with. Very few politicians are in it for the greater good, especially when they turn politics into a career. Term limits baby, we need them. Or perhaps we need to go back to tar and feathering? They don't seem to hear us when we speak. Maybe they'd get the point if they received a good old fashioned ass-whooping. Worked for me when I was a kid and kept me from doing shit I wasn't supposed to!

  57. Miners are down because the Dow is down triple digits. Those still hoping that those will not correlate are destined to be disappointed. It will take a serious breakout in gold and silver to break that problem. Not that it won't come, but it ain't here yet.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Hansi, so where are you? Last week at 34.2 I told you that silver would never go below 34 again. You told me I was a funny fucker or something?

    I guess it's still a little early to tell, but I just wanted to remind you of what you said. You also stated silver would correct to 8$, right?

    ReplyDelete
  59. I can't believe how beat down some of these junior minors are today. And silver is pretty much unchanged right now. Physical is looking better and better.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Hi Markus

    I am no troll (I am not Hansi in disguise) but I think silver could sell off quite a bit. Gold is failing to capitalize on the weak stock market so silver will probably get dragged down with the CCI.

    At 11$ above the 200 day MA it has a lot of room to correct.

    ReplyDelete
  61. SSK

    I know the feeling bro. I tend to get attached to my miners too. Lucky for me I was able to walk away from HL. I sold my last as a first trade on the morning of 3/7, at 10.26 a share. I know it ain't fair. The EPA stuff is bullsh*t, it's an awesome miner, blah blah blah. But the chart told me to walk away. And Thank God I did. I just hope I have the discipline to do the same on the rest of my list when the time comes.

    Just last night I put about half my list of miners on a "double secret probation" list. I need to see something, and soon, or I am gone. Too many good ones out there to waste my time and my emotional energy on a bunch of hard cases.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hi Folks..
    Currently the SPX and RUT are trading below support. If the trend continues into the afternoon, there will be a further sell off. This will effect your miners!

    Also - keep in mind that it is OpEx this week - since I have no idea where they need to take the prices for Friday close, I took profits throughout Friday afternoon and will await a buying opportunity.

    Full Disclosure - holding physical gold, silver, lead and copper.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I'm BTFD on miners...hope the spread will invert eventually in the medium term...if you have the FRN it's a nice buying opportunity, unless silver goes down of course...

  66. Wow Chin Music,
    Thank you for that (VERY) encouraging post. Some of the smartest people I know ..in many different fields.. are self taught individuals. My own husband is a prime example. In the mid 80s he decided that he wanted to be a 'computer expert'. PCs were very new then and after countless days and nights of coming home from work and getting back to work he taught himself better than any university could have I believe. Today he heads a team of folks who work for a major US company in the medical / computer industry. ......He is now pursuing his masters ..but none of that would have happened but for the decade he spent learning all on his own.

    Hard work and perseverence does still pay off. ..In everything you do. Thank you very much for that reminder.

  70. These EE beatdowns seem to be having less and less effect. Back at 36 already...

    I was hoping for a more effective raid to add to my position but it looks like the market is not waiting as long as me to grab silver on any dip.

    I certainly don't mind the accumulation.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I'd like to maybe back away from the miners and focus on the physical again, but my last real buy point was around 27.50 Ag and it's really hard to adjust your head to the current spot plus out-of-control premiums.

    Given that a big chunk of my last silver purchases were bought with the idea that it was way too much and I'll just flip them in the low 30's, every day that goes by that I don't sell 'em and pretty much move them over to a core hold status counts as a buy don't it? That's my latest rationalizaion.

    One can hardly get through a day without one good solid rationalization anymore can one?

    Bye Bye for now. That stack of 1040's ain't going to check themselves....

  73. "The shares down with the metal up is usually an ominous sign."
    -Turd Ferguson


    I agree...and with silver more overbought than ever, it won't take much to trigger a rush to the exits. With everything going on in the world, silver should be on fire and it's not. I know the BM/JPM games are likely holding it back but we saw what started last week, only to be averted on Friday. We are going to move in a big way real soon and if you ask me, it's down, even though there;'s every reason in the world for it to go up.

    Yes, I am tired, but in the meantime, you can keep buying physical, as in silver, gold, and supplies. Anything to get out of the dollar into something you can hold in your hands and use physically. THAT is what I'm doing. If EVERYONE did this as a unified force, the banking class would fail.

    Remember what Adolph Eichmann of Nazi Germany said, "I was just following orders," or something like that. He still got hanged years later. I wonder if something similar would be in store for the banking class...

  101. @Stephen,

    Hopefully you see this. I've been in freestockcharts today with no problems at all.

  102. Regarding PSLV 14 million shares are being registered and when I look at the market the daily volume is in the neighbourhood of 1.3m shares traded per day (mostly in very small denominations). If we review the pattern over the last 3 months volume is only 900k/day.

    Question... How easy is it to dump 14 million shares into a market where only 1.3 million shares trade daily and while ensuring the share price doesn't drop below nav?

    Seems to me like it will take some time to unload those shares?

    Likewise, it will take some time to purchase physical thereafter if that is the idea...

    Thoughts?

  103. The STRATFOR report on Saturday on the Japanese meltdown is old news. Wait for official confirmation on the meltdown. It's very possible that a meltdown has already happened, hence the USS Ronald Reagan personnel undergoing decontamination procedures after returning to the ship. AND, the wind is expected to change direction and start blowing inland later today.

    Sorry for extending the hijack on the thread.

  104. Economic Analyst:

    "Anyone following MVW? OH MY GOD! Just like I told you guys!!!"

    Wow. Average volume 22.5k shares, and today's volume (so far) is over 40k shares trade. Holy cow, you're throwing around your self directed 401k funds. Incredible volume!! This stock has been trading for 10 years and hasn't went over ~$2.25, and the volume also looks pathetic over those 10 years.

    What makes this company any different in 2011. Looks like a dog to me.

    Please stop pumping this stock.

  105. SilverRun I hate responding to knobs that don't know what they are talking about, but I will just this time. The stock has 3 million shares outstanding for the public, the company amassed thousands of oil/gas leases. The CEO has 50 yrs experience. Do some due diligence before you make an ASS of yourself. I am CANADIAN by the way.

  106. So what, The PM complex is going to correct, this is normal and healthy. Get over it. Wait for the big pull back that you know in your gut is coming, then buy and sit tight. Let it come to you, don't chase it. This is not the end of the PM bull, just another day in trading.

  107. Eric Bolling on Fox Business tonight is doing a segment on the JPM silver manipulation.
    I think it airs at 10 p.m.tonight. His time slot has changed recently. Spread the word around on your favorite blogs, regardless of how you feel about Fox.
    I believe this might be the first MSM show to dare utter the truth or go anywhere near it.

    The end is within sight at the Death Star.
    Turd, love that Death Star euphmism, cracks me up everytime.

    Or in my case, if there is a big correction, just another day of buying the big FD.

  109. Re the situation in Japan. Otto at IKN inkacolanews.blogspot.com offered a measured knowledgeable post today on the Japanese reactor situation. The conclusion was that the damage from the reactor problems will be local rather than global. That is unfortunate for the locals but comforting for the rest of the globe.
