Gold Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

CEO mark Bristow of Randgold on Bloomberg recently:

 

Interviewer: "Is the industry (gold mining) toast"?

Barstow: "I believe so, the industry is toast".

 

Later he says that the company is looking at acquiring good mines from failing companies, but all they have seen is mines that companies want to get rid of and can. Randgold is waiting until miners have to get rid of their prized possession, "quality" mines; the ones they have said they would never sell.

Later he says that the company is looking at acquiring good wells from failing companies, but all they have seen is wells that companies want to get rid of and can. Randoil is waiting until drillers have to get rid of their prized possession, "quality" wells; the ones they have said they would never sell...

 

Must be because all the permabull oil buyers switched over to Tesla Model S P85D’s

 

They need to wear new silver hats. ;)

Just how PM bearish can you be?

 

COT’s are horrendously bearish.

The same price pressure that has been applied via leveraged ‘paper’ PM’s for many years still continues - even when no one is yapping about it.

The Chinese, etc have found that BTC is so much ‘easier’ than PM’s.

If you account for price inflation (~11% since most recent PM peak), PM’s are already making “multiyear lows” ...

And who on earth isn’t glad when PM’s ‘go down’ more?

The bears are glad. The bulls are too.

 

So...

Just how PM bearish can you be?

 

Well -

You can’t really be PM bearish at all! ?? You can only be FIAT bullish.

... and you’ve been subliminally promised the USD will be the last to fail.

Fail? What fail?

Fail is when the veil comes off. Trust in the debt/currency charade is lost by a quorum. The fragility of fake stability finally plays out... The Fiat becomes truly worthless...again

 

Some have difficulty accommodating this perspective, but PM’s already made their ‘move’. PM’s have ‘hyperinflated’ from ~32 USD per oz to over 1000 USD per oz ‘long ago’. The 'more to come' doesn't really matter... still

 

With each passing day, it becomes less of a stretch to be a ‘permabull’... stretch out of the collective trance that keeps PM’s in terms of dollars... into a new trance where dollars are put in terms of PM’s

Gold and miners set for a dead cat bounce here. Gold hitting lower bollinger bands and miners hitting 50dma support.

 

Hi Eddie,

The $ is stable.

The Stock Market is good.

US growth is great.

Demand for PMs is not exciting. Chinese misdirection..

And you are predicting a bounce.?

Do you have a LONG position?

Where did it confuse you?

 

 

Are you still LONG Silver? :):)

I continue to actively (but not dynamically) and as nimbly as possible, hedge a long position in physical silver using both silver and gold futures contracts (and occasionally, when the cycles are right, etf’s)

 

Still holding with the assertion I made in late Sept that for the next 4 ish months PM’s are a good vehicle for both longs and shorts - instead of favoring an exclusive long or short bias. Long term - still like the long silver ratio trade... but that is empty right now... resting orders above and below.

As far as outright spec trading goes, I am currently much more active in the energy sector than I am PM’s... simply more attuned to it right now... and think it has slightly more % move potential than PM's during this time period... would like to see lower prices in both sectors... for building a scale trade in nrg's, for accumulation opportunities in PM's

Question: Why is it no one, says what goes down must go up. Eventually.

 

Answer: 99.9999% go long (especially PM types) and can only get their brain wrapped around one direction.

 

Burn baby burn. :helloooo:

Hi Zdo

Over the years you have told us why you prefer Silver

And we are all aware of the positive correlation between Gold and Silver.

Silver is falling with Gold at present

Please tell us again why you favour Silver.Or are you just buying coins for a rainy day?

kind regards

For all the Gold bulls.....

Tomorrow morning the Non Farm Payroll report is published.

The experts expect 180 000 new job created.

Thats the number for Gold.

If its higher than 180 000, the market starts pricing in a rate hke in Dec.

That means a stronger $, and Gold breaks below 1100.

It also means weaker OIL and the stock market will take a hit.

If its below 180 000, we can all relax.

So a strong economy , more jobs, strong $, actually sees a pullback in the market

Does my reasoning make sense?

Your reasoning makes sense, but sometimes the market doesn't.

 

Anyway the miners are getting crushed today so it doesn't seem to matter to Gold. At the moment anyway.

 

I'd say stock market continues higher .... unless NFP is below 180,000 considerably.

 

Oil continues lower (maybe not tomato) but overall no matter what. Supply is huge, demand isn't. Come to think of it just like Gold. :rofl:

A man with conviction.

I am nothing right now. I will be short at 1097. Otherwise, I see only noise. Others can make money in this range, but not I.

He’s not the only one...

 

but now for the snippet of ‘social’ commentary

One factor that needs to be mentioned re these properties... many of those “would never sell” properties are valuable not so much for their vein quality as they are valuable because the mines are located in areas where it is possible to operate using slave labor.

What goes down must go up. Eventually.

 

There now... Someone said it.

Happy now? ;)

 

The attempt to render in European tongue the grand panorama of the ever periodically recurring...is daring... for no human language... can do so with any degree of adequacy...

But owing to the intrinsic difficulties of the subjects treated, and the almost insurmountable limitations of the English tongue (as of all other European languages) to express certain ideas, it is more than probable that the writer has failed to present the best and in the clearest form; yet all that could be done was done under very adverse circumstance, and this is the utmost that can be expected of any writer.

"Your talents as a fed watcher are no longer needed... Sorry we’re going to have to let you go"

Btw folks I also don’t think I will have to ‘be a long bear’ much longer in the stock indexes.

I’m convinced most players will be able to continue to deny all the “the last time this happened’s” that are occurring right now. However, they will be able to respond to a ‘new’ / different narrative... when collapse becomes more economical than ‘promises of reform’ or 'solutions', etc etc...

My ‘preference’ for silver is simple... based on a long term / generational ratio trade. For a long time it has been my opinion that silver does ok in authentic ‘deflation’ (not like the quasi deflation the world is experiencing in revenues, “commodities” etc etc now,). A recent article illustrates and details some aspects of this - Silver and Deflation | Kitco News

 

... Btw, by that accord, I may have finished exchanging physical gold for physical silver a bit early - but there were overriding practical reasons. ... and I’m talking in decades long perspectives ... been gradually working this exchange since 2005.. with more decades before it’s time to start exchanging physical silver for gold again.

 

For spec trading (and sometimes much of my hedging in silver), I still prefer gold contracts over silver... liquidity, etc...

 

ya'll have a great weekend...

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
