The Recent Gold Sell-Off Explained

When a market does not rally on good news it generally means it is overbought or ready to go down. And the people might have jumped on the failure of gold to sustain a big rally on what was perceived to be good news for gold as bad news. So that might be one of the reasons that you have the selling. To me that is a non event.

I do not buy gold because I am worried about a terrorist attack, it has nothing to do with the reasons I buy gold. I would not rush to buy gold because there was a terrorist attack. Why would I? Because when the attack is over the price goes back down. So it does not make any sense.

The real reason I buy gold  has to do with inflation, the central banks creating it, artificially low interest rates, negative interest rates, quantitative easing, all of these things.

Silver Stocks Are Doing Even Better Than Gold Stocks

This long dollar trade is going to unravel fast because everyone is on the wrong side of it.

Gold is trading around 1265, it is still about 15 to 20 dollars off the highs but these gold stocks made new highs for the year and what is even better than the gold stocks are silver stocks.

Why Is Goldman Sachs Picking On Gold?

Goldman Sachs (GS) came out to encourage their clients to short Gold. And you can think of all the potential shorts out there, why even short Gold? I mean, if Gold is at 1,200 and Goldman thinks its going to 1,000, if a stock is at 12 and you think the downside is 10, there is really not a lot to short there.

Why is Goldman Sachs (GS) picking on Gold with so many other good shorts out there? Most likely it is because Goldman Sachs (GS) is short gold itself and needs to cover it or just wants to buy Gold and they want to push the price down so they can buy at a better price.

Gold: A Bull Market Climbing A Wall Of Worry

There is still more fear than greed in the gold market. People are more worried that the market is going to crash and they want to cut and run. They are more anxious to get out, more nervous that gold is going down than they get excited when gold is going up. Well, this is a good sign of a bull market climbing a wall of worry.

Gold Stocks Still Have Upside

These stocks are still so far from their 52 week high. Gold just made a 52 week high. I think we still have another 25 percent to go in gold stocks for them to get back to where they were last time gold was at this level.

Gold: Headed Higher Short Term And Long Term

The Federal Reserve raised rates but I still believe that the next move is down. Meanwhile, gold now has to reverse the past 3 years of losses because they were based on the fantasy of a legitimacy of a U.S. economic recovery where the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates. I think gold is headed a lot higher in the short term, in the intermediate term and in the long term.

The One Thing That Has Not Declined Since The Fed Raised Rates

The one thing that has not declined since the Federal Reserve raised rates is gold. Gold is actually up better than 40 dollars an ounce since that rate hike. And if you remember, everybody was unanimous that if the Fed raised rates gold was going to tank because after all higher interest rates were going to crush the gold market. But I was saying the opposite because I knew that the price of gold had been falling for years in anticipating the raising rates. So, my perspective was, buy the rumor, sell the fact, and I thought the price of gold would go up.

Gold Stocks: Wall Street Is Still Oblivious To These Bargains

You would think that gold stocks would be up a lot more considering the fact that the cost for these mining companies are plunging because their labor costs are going down because they are in Canadian Dollars or Australian Dollars, their energy costs are collapsing and the revenue is going up.

But Wall Street is still oblivious to these bargains that exist in the mining sector but of course year-to-date the mining stocks are up and that is the only sector in the market that is up and I tell you that no one on Wall Street owns these stocks.
