QUICK
LOOK REPORT #42:
Short Term Trends for PM Stocks
by Dr. Stephen
Rinehart
February 12,

Background:
This
Qwik Look Report # 42 is a current “snapshot” of some gold
and silver stocks which may be of interest. Caution: There are
also “penny stocks” on this list with small caps and thinly
traded. You may be one of a few buyers on a given day.
Absolutely use Limit Orders to purchase any penny stocks (the
Limit Order may only execute at current Ask Price on days when
gold jumps in price or it late in the day) and check out the
current news (if any) on any such stocks. Also it is advisable
to use Limit Orders on any gold and silver stocks. The results
presented have nothing to do with any long term fundamentals in
these PM stocks. It represents a Qwik Look at current trends
only. However, many gold and silver stocks (quality stocks) have
been going up since mid-January. Also, quality gold and silver
stocks can be long term buy and holds if you do not have time to
research the stocks.
The
results are based on a specialized (trend following – does not
use cycles) code utilizing short term turns. It does not get you
out at tops or in at bottoms (but one can use cycles and other
turn indicators to estimate timing of a coming turn). As always,
do your own due diligence before making any decisions and there
is often wild volatility in these stocks. If you do not like volatility
(sometimes up/down 15%+ in a day as well as go up/down 60%+ in a
month), it is suggested you proceed with buying Silver and Gold
Eagles. I do follow (and trade a core group of gold and silver
stocks) over one hundred gold and silver stocks and have been
following and analyzing gold prices for over thirty-years.
Alternatively, you can buy Newmont/Novagold/Barrick (nice gold
stocks) and SSRI/PAAS/SLW (nice silver stocks) and sit back and
enjoy the ride. For the more adventurous or dedicated
gold/silver investor, take a look at Table 1 as a starting place
for some new options or opportunities. There is tremendous
leverage in both small silver and/or large gold stocks when they
are running. For recent examples see such stocks as:
Endeavor, Cumberland, Mag Silver, Sabina, Esperanza,
Strategic Nevada Resources, Newmont, SSRI, Bema, GoldCorp,
Minefinders and PAAS just to name some of them.
Table
1 Qwik Look Trends: The
following (i.e., represents ongoing research) table is to be
used a screening tool for short term trends currently in some
gold and silver stocks. For many the fun began (after a sharp
correction) in early to mid January. Some
of the small silver and gold stocks can turn on a dime and
should only be played with expectation that they are high to
extreme risk investments. The results presented have absolutely
nothing to do with any intermediate or long-term trends/cycles
in the markets or equities. In actual practice, the code needs
to be run each day. However, it did identify some gold and
silver stocks that are continuing to run strong and the show
longer-term upward trends as long as Gold Bull remains intact.
