Making $ense
Out of NonSense
The precious
metals markets are killing the prices of many of the junior
mining shares. What’s happening and why are questions being
asked by many individual investors as well as the most
experienced analysts. Times like these are somewhat a mystery
but yet an opportunity.
The market
sentiment is terrible for many stocks and it seems there are few
bids and the stocks have plummeted without merit and without
regard for the company fundamentals, and the future outlook for
the price of gold and silver.
Let’s look at a
long-term weekly chart on gold and the HUI Index.
The long-term
up trend in gold is beyond question. Enough said!!
The long-term
up trend in the HUI is clear but perhaps not as clear. We have
a very long consolidation period which I would start at the
upside breakout in December 05 around 280 and peaking around 400
in early May 2006. A long consolidation period with tops of
around 360 and bottoms of 280 are clearly evident on the chart.
In October, we finally broke out to the upside reaching a peak
of 470 or so in November and are now back to the 400 level which
was our breakout area. So now our resistance (400), now becomes
support with the big question being; will it hold? While we are
still very bullish on the precious metals stocks we have to be
on guard to a break down in the HUI. This will not, in our
view, be the end to the bull run (if a breakdown does occur),
but merely one more pause/consolidation along the way.


Many investors,
me included, had been looking for this recent rally to carry our
mining shares to much higher prices. Unfortunately this did not
happen and it is only normal to ask why? Virtually none of us
have a reasonable explanation for this terrible market
sentiment. Are investors fearful of a potential meltdown in the
financial markets? Are they fearful of a potentially
strengthening in the United States Dollar? Do they not truly
believe in the long-term bull market in gold and silver and
other commodities? Are they worried about the rising costs for
the mining companies? All valid concerns.
Additionally,
with tax-loss selling in the United States another factor
driving down prices, we are finding many share prices too good
to pass. As we ponder these questions, we must be aware of the
fact that at times like these there are many great opportunities
being given to us each day. This week, we have increased our
personal positions in six different companies in the gold,
silver and the uranium sector. Perhaps we are early, but we see
opportunity. We would encourage those of you who are long-term
investors to carefully select the shares or long-term warrants
of your favorite companies and accumulate them at these bargain
prices.
In times like
these when the markets do not make $ense, we look aggressively
for opportunities.
