Charting Friday

It's only 8:30 am EDT and I'm already behind schedule. Gonna be one of those days.

However, all signs point to a very good day in our precious PMs. Here are some charts for you to peruse as we head into the morning.

First up, the POSX. Uh-oh. I'm glad I'm not long this pig right now.
In the words immortal (paraphrased) words of Hootie and The Blowfish, "gold's the one I love the mo-o-ost but crude's not far behind".

Those two sure look similar again, don't they?

And silver is still working hard to repair all of the technical and psychological damage done over the past 4 weeks. However, I think it was last Friday when I told you it would approach 39.50 by late May and it's right on track for that so I guess we shouldn't be too disappointed.
Lastly, I've read in the comments that there is some concern regarding holding positions over the 3-day weekend. Recent pattern on 3-day weekends has been for a rally on the holiday, only to have The Wicked Witch immediately claw back the gains on Tuesday for a net effect of zero. No reason to expect different action this time around. Be not afraid.

Oh, and here's a link to that Hootie song simply because I know it's stick in your head now.

Have a great Friday!!! TF

p.s.
Lots of talk about "Linda Green" on ZH and in the comments here. If you haven't yet watched this, please take 15 minutes to do so. Really, really disturbing.

    It seems that we just past 2 astro events, and I am seeing gold reacting strongly to them.

    The swing line seems to suggest a swing high around 31 May to be followed by a swing low around the 8-9 Jun region, what do you think ?

  4. Thanks Turd, good to get your outlook for today's action. I think we're heading higher thru the end of the day.

    FWIW, I really messed up on details yesterday:

    -it wasn't options expiry, it was futures. Duh.

    -3 days ago I called 38.70 for today's 3pm Ag price. Yesterday I "upped" it a buck to 39. That was a typo. Man you'd think I'd relay my own call number correctly.

    No hat involved, no reward, just had (and have) a hunch we'll end the week near 39. In line with your call of just under 40 by June. I just figured I'd say it.

    All of us here work hard to bring our best, so I hate it when I pass along inaccuracies or bad data to this fine group of Turdinistas. Apologies to all.

    Having said that, I'm thinking Ag 38.70 looks withing range... We shall see.

    Good luck all and good hunting!

  14. Turd,

    Thank you for addressing the three day weekend, definitely a concern of mine. I’m sure what has many of us concerned is that the May day massacre seemed to have been timed to coincide with a time when several countries were on holiday – even though the U.S. was not on holiday. Not as much need for concern since Monday is a U.S. holiday? Hoping someone here can speak to that specifically.

  16. It's looking like gold needs to break convincingly above 1530 for silver to break up out of its triangle. This could take another hour or two, I reckon.

    I'm still loaded up on a trading position in EXK, margined to the hilt. Premarket looking good for a run at the 50-DMA. I'll probably pull the margin off the table later today, no matter what happens. A big move today necessitates some weakness early next week, plus there's the whole holiday weekend uncertainty thing. Then again, I may just be talking shit. Who knows?

  23. @Eric#1,

    Braggs apple cider vinegar is excellent for acid reflux/heartburn-- you can take a tablespoon or so at night either straight or with some water or even apple juice. Try not to let it get near your teeth as it can affect the enamel and rinse mouth out after. ALso you ca find major things about it at www.earthclinic.com-- EXCELLENT SITE FOR YOU NAME IT HEALTH ISSUES

  27. +Eric #1,

    Gold is like the Madonna. Silver is my Wild Girl. Man I like having the 2 around!

    OK, ACV for acid reflux: As I told ya, taking it daily has CURED my seriously awful, painful agita. I have not needed to renew my high dose Prevacid scrip in 6 months.

    I take a tablespoon of ACV mixed with about 4 ounces of any non-acidic juice. It works particularly well in V8 if you like that. Do this every day:

    -when you wake up
    -mid morning
    -mid afternoon

    I'd be shocked if it doesn't work for you too. I'd known that models intake lots of ACV b/c it is also a powerful appetite suppressant (btw I've also dropped about 25 pound since taking it).

    But I only learned about the antacid effect last Fall when listening to a Mel Fabergas Veritas Radio show. He mentioned it had worked a miracle for him. I can now say the same.

    Start taking it asap and your issues will be done for. Get some Enerfood and take that daily too.

    http://www.enerhealthbotanicals.com/steve-quayle-specials/enerfood-super-green-energy-drink-steve-quayle-specials.html


    Between the 2, I've never felt as good. Haven't been this weight since the early 90's, that's nice too. Blew my doctor away and shut him up real good! Mostly it's great eating anything I want w/o worrying about agita to follow.

  42. @Erik#1--

    We take it only at night because that is when hubbie has issues but yes some take it several times a day and yes as ewc58 said people do lose weight from it if you are consistent. Like I said, if you go to earthclinic.com you will end up keeping it permanently bookmarked. I can attest that our family have tried a ton of the cures on that website and many many have worked for us...just my .02. Also, again heed warning about keeping it away from your teeth...we just throw it back and rinse mouth...some use straw.

    Dr. Richard Shultze's, (an herbalist guy) recipe for the Dark Ages Plague and whatever else ails you. Benefits include higher energy levels, enhanced immune function, better circulation, removes plaque in arteries, etc. I have used this formula for several months and love it. You will too if you like “heat” in your food. Even if you don't it will grow on you (start with a few drops and work your way up to ¼ cup or so daily).

    1 qt Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
    1 handful of peeled garlic cloves
    1 handful of white onions, coarsely chopped
    1 handful of peeled, fresh ginger root (less if you don't care for ginger)
    1 handful of horseradish (optional)
    1 handful of the hottest hot peppers you can find (Hhabanero, Serrano, Cayenne, etc)

    Pour the qt of vinegar into the blender. Add all the rest and blend well. Put this mash in to a stainless steel container and let it sit 24 hrs. Strain the pulp out and store the “salad dressing” juice in the Bragg's Vinegar bottle. Use it on salads, cole-slaw, stir-fry, baked potatoes, goulash etc.

  64. Bollinger Band question:
    I use the (20,2)BB which is the default on OptionsXpress. It is showing 1550 as the top of the Band.

    I watched the Ira Epstein clip that someone posted yesterday and his BB had a top of I think 1536 yesterday so I'm guessing 1533 today. He also uses the 18 day MA, which I never use and don't see much value in. 8, 10, 13, 15, 20 yes. 18 no.

    Anyway, anyone use BBs other than the default (20,2)?

  68. @Roberto, no but it has been a huge contributor. As I said, ACV really tones down hunger. Not only do I get less hungry less often, I eat less when I do. I get "full" in like 1/2 the amount of food. Amazing. Ya can't gain what ya don't eat! Eat less, lose weight has been my experience :-)

    Forgot to mention that the agita thing is just an offshoot of a much, much important health benefit: ACV excels at de-acidifying one's ph level. This is critical. Most Americans are way into the acid side of the ph spectrum. High acid ph is a disease breeding zone.

    Via test strips, I know that I'm now well into the alkaline side. This is no doubt why I feel so good now. My entire system has been de-acidified. The heartburn relief just comes in tow.

    My move to Superfoods has been the biggest factor. I did it to get real nutrition (especially phyto-nutrients which were sorely lacking in my prior "diet"), while reducing my intake of other foods. Enerfood also alkalizes, as do many superfoods and greenfood supplements.

    Do these things and your overall level of health will increase. Period. It's that simple. Turns out that great outcomes like weight loss and agita relief are just a couple of really nice side effects of doing a few key things "right" for your health. You MUST also get LOTS of fiber. For that, just get this. Great product!

    Not to alarm, but another benefit of getting Spirulina and Chlorella into one's daily diet is their ability to chelate bad stuff & metals from your system. With the unknowns about Fukushima's impact ongoing, you want to do things that prevent any toxin from building up. That is KEY. You'll also want to fill up your thyroid with good iodine so Iodine 131 can't accumulate there. The best and safest source is seaweed/kelp based. Here's what I use daily and I strongly recommend that anyone reading this order it and begin taking it immediately. This is a completely natural iodine source, just take as directed, with food:

  69. terri there is a seller on ebay that lists 10-20 1oz american eagles everyday at $40-50 over spot. If you get ebay bucks and use mrrebates you can purchase these coins UNDER SPOT at the time. The catch is that it is a pre-sale and you have to wait about 2 months for delivery. Other than that Gainesville Coin is selling 1oz gold maples for about 2% over spot. Of course people who buy bullion more often than me will have better prices. I have a local coin dealer that sells at spot but that doesn't help you.

  70. @ Terri

    First thing you should do is not freak out. We are a product of wild times (of which we as individuals are not in control of), and having your emotion clog your better judgement will not help in any constructive manner towards achieving inner peace/comfort.

    As for summer dulldrums, you have to decide for yourself. Whatever you decide, make sure it is your decision, you know why you did it, and be prepared for anything.

    Lotta people are giving summer dulldrum and 08 crash a lot of credence these days... and I am not so convinced that this will occur. We will either have

    1) Summer Dulldrum as Turd has mentioned
    or
    2) Bull market into the end of the keynesian experiment. When I say this... understand that it is up to each self to know/guess how far along we are in this process. Personally, I think that the Federal Reserve Note will be "as good as dead" in late 2012, as a result of inflationary practices to extend and pretend while the population becomes even more dependent on the system to live (think about the people who will be dependent on the gov for food...).

    What it comes down to... what makes you most comfortable. If you have not secured any physical and you are intending to, I would definitely recommend to at least start cost averaging (pick some spots to start accumulating) in case we really are at the end of the dollar (and Euro, Yen) cycle.

    Seems like the best advice I keep hearing on stacking is just keep buying on a regular basis. Sometimes it's higher, sometimes it's lower. Average in.

    Seems like super low premiums available on Mexican 50 Pesos right now, if you can swing a coin that big all in one shot. Shop around and/or be disciplined on eBay, you can get them for less than 2% over melt.

    Sorry missed your post earlier. With that resume of reading I am sure you didn't need my comments to those links. I have been doing the same for the last 2 or so years. I do like the investment process of Smartknowledgeu though. His premise starts with manipulation and then moves on to TA. I also don't day trade but am fascinated by the intelligence of so many professional traders on this blog. Even more so because of their apparent good hearted ways they treat everybody with their sharing of experience. I have never participated in any blog before. That said, big shout out to all the veterans, Atlee,Shill,Jo Ka, Eric#1, Pailin, Kiwi and all the rest. Your knowledge and humor is appreciated.

  80. Physical question:
    Are there any valid concerns about "salted" coins/bars?
    As I recall there was considerable concern about some Engelhard 100oz silver bars having a lead center back in 2000 when silver was $5/oz. No mention when it's $40/oz (not sure that makes sense but whatever).

    Is the US mint more trustworthy than Canada, South Af, china, etc? Are they all 100% trustworthy? Are old gold coins like 50 Pesos and Soverigns more or less trustworthy than newly minted coins?

  91. RE: vinegar

    I never knew it was good for acid reflux (seems counterintuitive since it is an acid) but glad to learn that!

    Vinegar is a very useful substance which has been somewhat forgotten about in recent years. Not only a healthy food supplement, but an effective cleanser and mild disinfectant. Good for cleaning your pet's food and water bowls and put a teaspoonful in their water every now and then as well.

    Also a major ingredient in ketchup and bloody mary mix (my favorite ways to get it).

    In Navy lore it was customary to use ketchup or some other tomato and vinegar substance to shine the ship's bell, thus the task became the traditional responsibility of the cook.

  92. Whoa! Bullish action in the PM's aside, I was looking at some mining stock charts this morning, and some have a look that is alarming.

    Take a look at this Goldcorp chart, noting the declining volume over the past week as it looks to be forming a bear flag that is the right shoulder of a 5 month H&S pattern...

    http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=GG&p=D&yr=0&mn=6&dy=0&id=p76105560308

    I suggest studying the individual charts on any miners you might be thinking of picking up carefully before pulling the trigger.

    Just looking at the chart and nothing else GG actually looks like a short here, even though that runs against my grain.

    Technical Patterns, especially H&S, especially in these capped (manipulated) major stocks, need confirmation before declaring doom. Gold is breaking out to all time highs and you are thinking that one of the lowest producing cost of gold, best managed (Rob McEwen), well known/traded gold company will fall victim to a technical pattern (which isn't that well defined)? It is possible, but what about the fact that failed technical patterns often lead to new highs? Wouldn't want to be on the short side when this guy breaks out...

    I haven't seen any silver or gold up close that I was concerned about, other than a pair of fake gold coins that my coin shop guy keeps in his case on purpose just to show people what they look like.

    I feel like I protect myself somewhat by sticking with older, circulated coins. I'm fine if they are a bit on the grungy looking side (within reason). On eBay I shy away from anything that looks too nice, too perfect, too shiny.

    One important thing: to get the health benefits discussed above, it MUST be organic ACV. Bragg is the most well known but not the only brand. It's about 3x as expensive as standard ACV but still cheap, especially for what it does

    The other stuff is good for cooking and all other uses, but doesn't deliver the goods due to processing.

  108. Turd, nice calls this week.

    Still going to keep much of my powder dry until next week though. I have a feeling the banksters might be forced to bring out the hatchets again (like we say yesterday) before next Tuesday. If they really wanted to mess with everyone's heads they could knock silver back down to < $36 in short order as everyone heads into the long wknd. Gold's bounce off 1515 seemed too quick for my liking and the idea that it rallies from here to 1550 or higher in a straight line (over the course of just a few days) makes me nervous.

    I use 1/4 cup 9% Vinegar per gallon of water to mop my floors (all tile). Once in a while add an ounce of orange oil. This protects the sealant that was applied to my tiles. Detergents eat it away over time. when finished mopping, don't toss it on your yard or you'll damage your grass. Strong Vinegar and orange oil (minus the water) is a very effective weed killer.

  123. Latest Downney Intra-day report:

    GOLD

    This mornings high prices was a change as metals keep the upside all thru the night even into the reports. The gold market might be smelling QE3 ------as the US economy ---- looks to be in trouble.

    This weeks price action stayed within the 50% and 61% retrace range all week long. The only exception was the pullback low on Thursday near 1515 (see red arrow furthest to the right). But even then --- price supported right on the Fan lines. Today's push to 1534 is right on the 61% retrace number. ANY CLOSE ABOVE THIS AREA should lead to a swift move towards the 1445-1455 area where the 78% retrace and fan lines are on the chart below.

    Resistance is 1536-1538 for the remainder of the day --- and then 1544-1552 on any push higher from here. Support is the 1519-1523 area. A CLOSE ABOVE 1533 WOULD SUGGEST one more push higher next week before the short term strong trends revert back to the weaker cycles.

    In summary --- price is within the 50 and 61% retrace at 1520-1533 --- any close above 1533 favors higher into next week. There is now minor support today at 1526 also going into the close. As long as we close above 1515 ----the trend remains up.


    SILVER


    While the July silver contract remains well below the prior session's highs in the early Friday US trade action, the bull's are happy with the overall price action this week. In fact, the silver market at times yesterday, was trading as much as $4.50 above this week's initial lows. At least in the early action today, weakness in the Dollar and generally positive price action within the metals complex gives the bulls in silver early confidence. Silver did seem to weaken initially in the wake of soft US data yesterday, but eventually the fear of slowing seemed to foster gains in silver prices because the data undermined the Greenback. In other words, silver is to a degree not discounting its industrial demand focus and the trade seems to be tracking off of safe haven or move to quality factors. With a long weekend ahead, we were surprised to see high prices this morning rather than later in the day. As of this updte reports have not affected silver.
    Some traders are expecting to see technical short covering of silver today, but we should see a big wind down after the Europe close. VOLUME will be light --- so while raids are possible --- there should be low activity this afternoon.


    This weeks silver range was in the 23% and 38% retrace levels. The peak at 38.88 was within 20 cents of the 38% level ---and even the big Thursday drop to 36.30 was a pullback to the 23% retrace. The ARROWS on the chart shows the upcoming RESISTANCE POINTS for silver on the short term. It looks like 39.00-39.20 is the next area where the 38% and the FAN line crosses and the upper dotted trend line where the 50% retrace is at the 41.06 area. In summary --- as long as price remains above yesterday's' lows on a closing basis --- the trend is up. A CLOSE ABOVE 38 today would add to the bullish outlook. Short term trend changes are due week 1 june ---- we'll cover it on the website updates.

    Volume will be very thin after Europe closes ----- hopefully there will be no raids ---- but it sure would be a good time for the boys to try a takedown.

  128. Lazy, you are wrong there.

    Most of these items aren't in pill form. You mix them with water or juices and drink them. Powdered form means high and immediate absorbtion too. Way higher than pills. Read the ingredients of Enerfood, Green Max, or any other quality, 100% organic product. The list of the good things in there is staggering.

    You are right in thinking about fresh greens, they definitely need to be part of the overall solution. Thing is, one would be busy eating them day and night to get the variety and the concentrations of nutrients one gets with these supplements. And I know I can't grow many of the key items like Spirulina and Chlorella myself, nor get them at the organic Farmers Market.

    Hope that helps mate.

  129. I'm not thinking of shorting Goldcorp, or suggest anyone bail out on it. I know it is a quality company that pays a dividend. Just commenting on the appearance of the chart

    In these manipulated markets, the under performance of the mining sector has defied logic for the past few years, so anything is possible with it. Even if that H&S confirms and completes, the target is only down to about $38 - $40. I don't think it will happen unless the EE gets lucky, but I would be a buyer if it did.

  139. Anyone pay attention to the 'commodity currencies' AUD and CAD?

    I follow commodities more as a guage of how to play CAD usually. I don't have a good feel for the commodities themselves. Obviously you need a much bigger position in the currency than you do in commodities, but there are leveraged plays as well.

    Anyway, what has me wondering is that CAD, after roaring up non stop for 3 years, from about 88 cents to 1.05, has now started to fall, and even with th POSX getting crushed, and with rumours the BoC might raise rates next week, CAD barley moved up.

    That's great for me, as I am still well short CAD, but it makes me wonder if the commodities trade is waning?

    Just a thought. It could just be that CAD moved so far, so fast, it needs a correction.

    ---------------------------------------------------

    No need to bite a coin - a cheap pair of Digital Calipers and Gram scale from Harbor Freight and you can google the dimensions ( thickness and diameter)
    of most gold and silver in circulation.

    Re: China - the problem is that China is not stupid they will counterfeit the most popular and reputable (ASE, Maples, etc.. they are even counterfeiting old Morgan Silver dollars and acid bath and they look worn - to make people think that they are legit old coins.

    China can and probably will one day release counterfeit 100 & 50 oz bars that meet spec, using a antimony/ tin/ lead alloy - that everything will pass muster - but unless you are going to melt it down you will likely never know or care.

    The safest silver is US Junk silver pre-64 up to half dollars(90% ) and 40% US minted coins. The exception is the Peace and Morgan dollars. It also has the lowest premium other than CAD silver coins.

    Look at the Premium on Fractional Gold - give it time the Premium will be on Frac Silver. Silver at $150 and a 1964 dime will cost you $20.(with prem).

    Just watch out for anything on ebay that is 100mil silver on it. ( but don't buy any silver on ebay from sellers in China). Use commonsense on e-bay - to good to be true or to good of deal...it probably is.

    I do agree with a lot of what he says when he talks about a false flag terror event occurring as soon as this summer. Congress has renewed the Patriot Act and the EE will need an event of some sort to quell the restless masses as more and more see through the facade and their efforts to prop up a dying monetary system. Also, it'll be the perfect excuse to continue QE as a staged event will hammer markets worldwide.

  175. Low volume, who can resist. Imagine what happens if Gold got weak too for no reason.
    That's right...blood all over the dance floor...again.
    Stay safe all.

  176. Hey there Clint :-)

    I put up Celente. As a fellow 50+ year old Italian American from da Bronx, I feel like he's my long lost older brother.

    Wish I worked for the guy. I'm going to call him and see if he wants to go shooting with me.
    We both love handguns, and love being liscensed gun owners in the Peoples Republic of New York.

    Very important that as many of us as possible continue to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights.
    While they still exist. Afterall, the 4th is already gone. Along with Habeus Corpus, the heart of the Magna Carta. The trend is not good and Big Sis sounds just plain Nuts.

    Get 'em. Get plenty of ammo. Seal 'em. Bury them for when needed. Cause it sure looks like we're gonna need 'em.

    "Tis better to have and not need, than to need and not have"

    Nowhere is this more true than with:

    Food
    Water
    Guns & Ammo

    Gonna trust this "admin" to get things right? I didn't think so. Get busy, 2011 only gets crazier from here.

  177. Tesla - Bragg's ACV is very good for animals. Her book has a lot about how to use it. What you are getting from ACV is potassium. Our soil is depleted of potassium so none in our daily food intake. Bananas you say? One teaspoon of ACV has the potassium of 8 bananas. Horses chew their stalls trying to get the potassium salts in the wood. Get her book.

    Erick#1 - The recipe for this is on the bottle or the cover of her book one. Take a gallon of hot water and mix in some raw honey. Dissolve the honey. Add ACV to taste. Put in the refer and use that as your drinking water supply. After a while you will not bother with the honey anymore. You will grow to like the taste. Remember it is just bad cider after all. Great for cramps. Also use as a salad dressing with olive oil. Marinade for pork.

  179. @atlee & other daily chart/tech navigators:

    Appreciate all of your insights...they've been very helpful in navigating these choppy waters! Are there levels you see as potential entry points today? (I'm long July40 calls, but have a bunch of FRN grunts that missed the boat at $34.)
    Thanks to the whole community - you've been a tremendous resource since I found the Turd 4 months ago. Found him right when he released his now-deleted (?) personal video and could tell that I'd found a guy who knew his crap. Have been a daily dingle-berry ever since.

    THANK YOU, TURD!!!

    Quioxte

    PS - Anyone know why Google is screwing-up postings....and how to fix? (Some of question may be answered by the time I get this to post!)

  180. Been doing other stuff, but just saw the blood on the chart. Waiting to buy at 37, maybe lower based on strength of move. I'll only buy if it feels like a flip to get back out of by day's end. 37.6 is a tease only for folks that don't read this blog.

    CME played with margins last night, but not gold/silver. Maybe today/tonight/Tuesday for us? That would provide some nice cover for a deeper dip. Pay me no mind...I may just be reading too many spy novels :)

  181. @JNG, I think 2 things, so far.. this isnt much of a fall compared to daily drops and rises and especially as there hasnt been much of a drop today all day.

    2. depending on how much it drops now, might give cause for concern (or not) how much it will drop over the holiday..

    Does anyone think we'll really see as much as a 10% drop again?

    Yes, this could be a problem. But I'm not so sure DXD gets the full 2X either, so maybe the theory on the pair trade may still be ok.

    Do you think maybe the 1x approach might track more accurately? GLD+DOG?

    This looks normal to me so far. If we take another big leg down below 37 I would call it mainpulation.

    Gold is only $2.50 off the lid after all. I'm looking to buy this dip, I hope we get a bit more.

  184. I'm being patient!

    low 37's then I might open a small long depending on the speed its moving.. otherwise I'll buy at 37 or below.

    If it goes as low as 37 or under, cant see us finishing green let alone above 38...
