Stormy Monday

Somewhere, deep in the heart of financial district of NYC, a chain-smoking, gruff-voiced, profanity-spewing Wicked Witch is humming this tune:

Oh, and if you haven't seen her latest "update", you can catch it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et02g9OQ-LM

Before we get to the PMs. we must take a look at the USDX. It is truly at a critical point. First take a look at this daily chart. 76.17 needs to hold as support but the dropoff is so steep, it makes it difficult to believe that it will.
Now here's where the real trouble lies. I drew a rough trend pennant on the chart below. If 76 holds, a technician could draw lines in such a manner that the pennant would still be intact. However, if we head to 75, that won't be possible. If we blow through 75, we'll accelerate down toward 72. And if 72 fails to hold...well, why ruin a beautiful Monday morning with thoughts like that?...
Crude and the PMs charged forward overnight, though they've since backed off. All I know is that I'm not selling yet. Apparently, this will be the "week of rage" in the Middle East and this gold chart looks great. Notice the perfect breakout pattern. First, we finally blow through the resistance area above 1420. It immediately reverses course and tests the old resistance as support. It reverses course again and is now well clear, even hitting a high of 1445 overnight. Its Happy Monday and we all know what tomorrow is, so, I'm just going to look away and hope to let my profits run another day.
With crude being off more than $1 now from its highs, maybe this wasn't EE action in silver. It could just have been a bunch of big, nervous investors wanting to lock in gains before the opening bell in the Comex pit. Right....

Let's hope a sweet, little FUBM forms over the course of the morning. I've got lasts of 1438, 36.34 and 105.66. Its going to be a crazy day and a wild week. I hope you're ready. TF

ps This might give you a few laughs...

11:30 EST UPDATE:
Clearly, the machines have decided that today is a "risk off" day. Copper, the grains and stocks are all down quite a bit. Given the circumstances, the strength in the PMs is quite telling. Just wait until tomorrow when it will, inevitably, be "risk on" once again.
As we plow along, I'd like to see silver close above $36 and gold above $1430.

  1. Nice call on Endeavor Silver (EXK) Turd. If I had more cash to deploy, I would definitely throw it here with this news:

    http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Endeavour-Silver-Announces-ccn-3442697157.html?x=0&.v=1

    ANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 7, 2011) - Endeavour Silver Corp. (TSX:EDR - News; NYSE Amex:EXK)(DBFrankfurt:EJD) announced today that it has received approval to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Trading is scheduled to commence on March 14, 2011 under the ticker symbol EXK.

    In anticipation of the transfer from the NYSE Amex to the NYSE, the Company filed today notice with the NYSE Amex of its delisting of it common shares from the NYSE Amex. Delisting from the NYSE Amex is subject to final regulatory approval by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Nice one turd,

    P.S.

    Silvermex (GGCRF) ask is 1.04 to open!! 1.08 is its 52 week close, and $1.13 is GGCRF's 52 week high. I think these are critical numbers.

  2. Okay, I need a strategy here. Like most/all of you I am heavily invested in the metals and energy. (Hey, see what TGC did the last three days.) So do I 1)buy even more calls on the miners like SLW and EXK, 2)buy puts on such high flyers as SBUX or PNRA, or 3) keep cash around in case of some market quaking events? Are we looking for a peak in PMs in mid-March, May, or when? I don't want to be scared out of future profits, but I sure don't want to give up the present ones either.

  6. In all of the years that I have followed and watched silver trade I can definately say it is different this time! It appears that this could be a short covering rally. So let's say that it is and that, that is what is propelling silver forward at this parabolic rate. The G/S ratio is dropping rapidly so this is silver's show for sure. Don't get me wrong, I love silver, but silver can have some very stomach wrenching corrections and I sense one coming here in the not too distant future. My intuition is telling there will be a great opportunity to buy gold for silver very soon. Whoever is covering their short position will finally come to a place of equilibrium and the buying pressure for silver will stop leaving silver open for a monsterous correction IMO.

  14. In addition to watching this excellent site, I suggest another excellent day trading site I have followed for several years. That site is specifically for day trading the S&P futures contract. However, he does some excellent intermediate and long term analysis of the overall markets, not just the S&P. I highly recommend viewing his latest YouTube for today's trading, as he has some extremely important information. His accuracy has also been quite good.

  15. Some more rumors and FUD (via ZH):

    "More purposeful confusion out of the Fed this morning after Fed's Fisher just hit the tape saying he may vote to end QE2 before the June deadline, even as Lockhart says QE3 is possible if the US faces another downturn. The purpose of all this constant conflicting disinformation is to keep market participants on edge as the marginal economic improvement is finally starting to reverse as Goldman's Jan Hatzius insinuated last night. In other words, should the Libyan conflict not be resolved for another few weeks, QE3 is pretty much guaranteed."

    ReplyDelete
  16. There may be short covering in Silver at the moment. But you have also got to watch the DXY very closely. The dollar is being replaced as the world's reserve currency. It's happening now. The vote is being cast worldwide. As Turd said if the DXY breaks solidly thru 76 things could really interesting in a big hurry.

  47. JPM $44 March puts on sale at .44 while JPM stock sits at $45.21. If you believe that JPM is taking big losses because the price of silver (relative to their huge short positions), if Happy Tuesday comes through as usual, tough to see how JPM stock doesn't flirt w/ that $44 price...

  52. Silver reminds me of Tech and Media in 1999 and 2000. All kinds of justifications were being made for the 3%-a-day increases in the Nasdaq.

  53. Is HL hedged?

    Impact silver ISLVF took off after Sprott loaned the company money to unwind its hedges.

  54. think the dip at 8:25 am EST was probably related to end of GLOBEX session profit taking and risk reduction... doubt it was any orchestrated attack.

    I like 36.25 and 36 as support and bought at 36.23 about 2 minutes before we hit 36. poor timing, but so far still looking like a good buy.... looks like the resistance is still 36.6...

    I had mentioned GBG as a *used to* hold stock.

    I got out cuz this missed production forecasts due to power outages from the S. African utility. They need infrastructure upgrades! They have imported generators, but that will send their costs through the roof. I think shares are under heavy distribution right now.

    Thanks for the heads up about the institutional investors, and I am well aware :). I think that eventually silver will trade over $1000+, and get more into line of a ~3:1 ratio with gold. To quote David Morgan...
    "If you want to invest in technology buy silver."

    Let alone its historical role as a currency marker...

    Well, it all looked fine on a friday with great earnings, etc., but then last monday stuff came out about these environmental liabilities. I was skeptical at first, maybe still am, but in my world the the chart doesn't lie. HL can't get back up off the mat, and I gotta walk away.

    Same thing with GBG. The chart tells me something is wrong, don't know what. Immediatly we get two posters confirming stuff that is wrong. Gotta stand back until I see a better chart on it.

    ReplyDelete
  67. If what Ted Butler says is true, we are possibly on the verge of "The Big One", so to speak.

    While we must always be cautious, just think of the ramifications of Butler's analysis.

    I subscribe to his newsletter (as I think just about EVERYONE on this board should btw), and I started really getting agitated/excited/nervous as what he said sank in.

    IF JPM is in fact the ONLY seller now, they are in a HEAP of trouble, and there is no good way out. Throw in the things that not even JPM can control -- like protests in Saudi friggin Arabia -- and we could see a real explosion quite soon.

    Looking at the price action, I can't help but think they are starting to get overrun here.

    Now accepting the possibility that that this could just be wishful thinking on my part, I actually emailed Mr. Butler and asked him point blank. FWIW, while Mr. Butler NEVER prognosticates about price, he did allow that "something special" could happen quite soon.

    That's good enough for me.....

    ReplyDelete
  89. The problem with GBG is that it is a South African miner, PERIOD. There are too many risks associated with SA miners. Poor HL. Not their fault, they did all of the right things and still got wacked. Their EPA costs are so large, it will take years to pay them off, this will severally hamper the company's revenue and capital for sometime. Leave it to the Feds and the injuns, if they had their way, there would not be a profitable mine in the country.

  92. Eva,
    CZN is a company that I will hold for the long term. I don't trade this stock as I think it's too risky to time this one. They have the environmental impact/review board reports out sometime this month and after that....if all goes well...CZN could really take off. I think it's been doing great lately anyway and I have added small amounts on a couple of the dips.

    Of course, if those reports aren't favorable to CZN's forward movements then the stock could go the other way. I personally don't see that happening because I think they have crossed all their t's and dotted all their i's. Management has done an excellent job of getting local support for the mine which will create jobs and improve economic conditions for the locals. I believe management has handled this project with the utmost respect for both the community there and the ongoing efforts on behalf of shareholders.

    So..... I am long term VERY bullish on CZN. I will continue to add to my position every chance I get! Are you in or considering getting in?

    ReplyDelete

  104. Gaddafi's only move is to reassert control and thereby keep himself under the laws of his country (which he controls). Strong historical support for not removing incumbent leaders to jurisdiction outside the country. As soon as he steps away from power in any way he's toast.

    Rumours of him stepping down or into exile should be met with extreme skepticism.

  110. I'm the guy who has been building my fiat 401k over the past 5 years, now moving the cash into a self directed account (still part of the 401k) and trying to make a killing riding silver miners this year. I could have just as easily withdrew the money, paid the penalties, and bought physical but I'd rather leave it in there and work the market. Not sure if anyone else is in this position.

    Also, anyone see that snap back profit taking with Mountainview Energy? Looks like it might be rebounding right now.... decisions, decisions!

  113. I agree, EE attack.
    We have all heard the saying, "Up the stairs, out the window."

    Lately it seems jut the opposite... periods of quick rises and then these stair-step bull pullbacks where the EE just consistently pushes silver down .30-.50 at at time over a two day period. When they stop we move back up, take a breather at the resistance level, and then blast through to a new high. Very unnatural!

    Even the charts don't have a the same geometric shape of the ups and down that we are traditionally accustomed to seeing. All of this just points to widespread manipulation--just pick your security and you can see it.

  114. I'm all cash and am having the damndest time picking a reentry point...got off the tiger too early

    Love to hear opinions from you guys seeing that 36 is holding. I'm torn between Butler and Turd here...31 or 50, which comes first?

    Also, Monday attacks are uncharacteristic, so I'm also feeling we may have just gotten the kitchen sink today. Clearly, shorting late in the reporting week has lost significance for the Morgue

    Waiting for Wednesday-Thursday to buy sounds prudent too, though

    Help please, ha

  115. "If we have not crossed this point there is significant risk in silver prices in the short term.

    Comstock Mining - Dayton Drilling Finds Highest Grade Mineralization To Date

    VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., March 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Comstock Mining Inc. ("Comstock Mining" or "the Company") (OTC Bulletin Board:LODE.ob - News) announced the results for thirteen additional reverse circulation (RC) holes from the first phase of drilling at its Dayton Resource Area (the "Dayton"). The results include the highest-grade interval encountered to-date at the Dayton: 10 feet (3.05 m) grading 1.121 ounces per ton (38.39 g/tonne) gold and 2.279 ounces per ton (78.05 g/tonne) silver, contained in an interval of 135 feet (41.15 m) grading 0.218 ounces per ton (7.47 g/tonne) gold and 0.685 ounces per ton (23.46 g/tonne) silver. Many of the holes also encountered the deeper, silver-only mineralization that was first encountered in D10-01, the first hole in phase one.

  130. Gotta love it when a bank-owned rating agency downgrades Greece to trash the Euro and rally the dollar. Short-lived I suspect, looks like the weak hands in silver were shaken out and the Ag is back on the move up.

    Also, GPL seems to be rather challenged lately and staying around the $4.70 mark. Thinking about taking that cash and throwing it at some other miners like TKRFF, ORM and CZN. Still want RPM if it can get above .48 and stay there. GPL is sidelined for me until it get's above $5 or has a ridiculous sale.

  134. atlee:

    Also, Pick52 provided this formula on 21 February:

    From this point [35.00 = 196] upward, and for the sake of easy numbers, I'd use .35c as 1% of spot (obviously) and then do the correlated 2% AGQ price move as $175 a share x .02, or $3.50 in AGQ share.

    

Or, every $1 spot move from here should be $9-10 share move for AGQ. Again, ballpark forecasting. The higher we move, the more exponential the AGQ share price moves.

  157. By the way, I really don't recommend trading in and out of a stock like Great Panther Silver (GPL). It's literally a steal of a junior producer at these levels. You need to buy and hold this stock. You can do what you want, but I strongly encourage adding to your position and not decreasing it with this stock. That's just my opinion and you need to do your own due diligence, but this is THE junior silver producer to have in my opinion.

  161. @ Yukon

    I agree with your sentiment.

    My main strategy is to buy and hold, especially with juniors. You never know when they are going to release news or be picked up by some analyst. Diligent research and patience is a key to a stress-free investing strategy that sees huge variance, but long run gains.
    -
    I am up about 95% in my portfolio in 5 months just with "buy and hold," with some slight re-arranging and switches as necessary.

    GPL was one of many "buy and hold" stocks I bought when it was @ 1.17, and have watched it grow to here. There are plenty more that will have stories similar to GPL (maybe not in the magnitude of production for the value GPL is at...). I suggest you get hunting to find your gems...

    --Call option of 180 M oz of silver mine soon to be approved (news will be big $). It has passed all the important hurdles to get the mining approved, and if by 2012 they can get the final touches with local support, you better believe I will be excited.
    --Copper creates its free cash flow currently along with silver @ its Troy mine currently

    Rock Creek is not even valued in this share price. Do not let the high price fool people, this stock is a great value with only 36.07 million shares outstanding! It had a 5:1 share consolidation a couple months ago, to have achieve a better share structure (I believe higher price anticipating its move to the AMEX).

    The production numbers were also interesting. The company maintained higher throughput
    rates of 3,914 tons each day during the third quarter which was a 16% increase over the
    same period in 2009. They produced 277,437 ounces silver and 2,347,643 pounds of
    copper, significant increases (11% and 22% respectively) over the third quarter of 2009.
    Total revenue of $12.4 million increased from $8.1 million from the third quarter of 2009
