Junior Miners ; Big loss presents opporunity

May 12, 2017

I recently had Chris Kimble on the show because I think he is very good at presenting charts in a straight forward manner. The post below is another example of Chris’s work and in this post he is focused on the GDX.

We have been talking about the sell off in metals and the metals stocks and how the charts are now in oversold territory. We are due for a bounce and Chis is on the same page. Have a read of his post below and click the link to visit his website. Just signing up for his free emails is worth your time. Chris will not clog up your inbox everyday which is nice.

Junior Miner ETF has had a rough go of it the past 90- days. Could that large decline, present an opportunity? Below looks at the performance of GDXJ over 90-day windows since inception.

GDXJ has fallen nearly 25% over the past 90-days. When GDXJ has been down this hard in a 90-day window, in during a bear market, it was closer to a short-term low than a high. Below looks at the chart pattern of GDXJ and the GDXJ/GDX ratio.

Joe Friday Just The Facts- The large decline and the two charts directly above reflect that GDXJ was presenting a entry point, where a really should take place.

Both of these charts were shared on Wednesday with Premium and Metals members. We would be honored to have you as a member, if these type of patterns are of interest to you.

        I am no fan of Katusa but in this case he is 100% right. Those bitcoin guys have really drunk the koolaid. A lot of them seem to be confusing blockchain technology with money. I am very bullish on new uses of blockchain technology but when it comes to money I would rather have gold. One of the posters in the comment section actually thinks that gold is only traded in a few exchanges and thinks that bitcoin is more liquid than gold. This is ridiculous. I can go to almost any city in the world and sell a gold coin in a few minutes. I live in NZ and bitcoin is very difficult with relatively high commissions and delays with the exchanges. I would have to travel more than 4 hours to Wellington to do a large transaction in person. If I want to avoid high commissions and go still go peer to peer, it ends up being back alley deals with much risk.

        Fine by me OOTB. I’ve just started to get my interest more piqued again some of the unloved and forgotten PGM miners.

          May 12, 2017 12:13 PM

          do not get me wrong……..I still own platinum for the long haul……and I believe it is undervalued…….JUBILEE PLATINUM is a winning name……. ๐Ÿ™‚

            Agreed on both points sir. Platinum is very undervalued at present, and Jubilee Platinum is a winning name. Cheers mate!

    JUNIOR MINERS ; BIG LOSS PRESENTS OPPORUNITY

    Always a good time to buy.

    May 12, 2017 12:07 PM

    Excelsior:

    Since I wrote this, the spread has gone $40 better for platinum. I love hearing how the hedge funds are going short for the first time.

    http://www.theaureport.com/pub/na/compared-to-silver-and-platinum-gold-is-getting-really-expensive

    Platinum is the place to be.

      May 12, 2017 12:03 PM

      Agreed Bob M. The Platinum/Gold spread is getting very intriguing indeed. If the hedgies are going short, and the price falls further, I’ll be getting more and more serious to buy while it is unloved. BTW – I posted your article a few times and liked the points you raised about Silver and Platinum relative to Gold. Good stuff!

      Ironically, I was just talking to CEO and CFO of (PTM) Platinum Group Metals a few minutes ago on a conference call, but it was focused on their Gold development project in Nevada – (WKM) West Kirkland Mining. [They’re sandwiched between Scorpio Gold and Corvus Gold and have a very interesting story] R Michael Jones did mention the current Platinum situation in passing, and they are in the thick of things in S. Africa.

      My favorite Platinum company the last few months has been Jubilee Platinum (JLP.L) as they have a profitable Platinum Tailings project, and a second Chrome/Platinum project they they are going to use to fund their 2 larger PGM development projects. Hardly anyone is watching some of these Platinum miners.

        May 12, 2017 12:08 PM

        Jubilee Platinum……..now that is the best name yet….

            Here’s an interesting shareholder video call they did. It is long, and it takes them a while to get into some of the goods, but they really did a good job laying out the climate in Platinum and Chrome mining and their strategy to capitalize and thrive in these depressed metals prices.

          This recent trade of their exploration TUG property to Newmont for control back of 1.1% of their NSR was a nice transaction that almost nobody was paying attention to and shrugged it off. The markets are very inefficient at times, and I plan on exploiting that situation.

        I know Michael Jones well and I’m a shareholder in WKM. Platinum Group Metals is my favorite platinum story. I am not a fan of South Africa but they will be mechanized and should do well over the long term. Management is excellent.

          Michael was very enthusiastic and was kind to let me ask him 3 rapid fire questions on the WKM call. ๐Ÿ™‚

    The Bearish Gold Bull
    by @TheDailyGold (Jordan Roy-Byrne) on May 12, 2017

    “The Bearish Gold Bull was the title of my presentation last weekend at the Metals Investor Forum in Vancouver, British Columbia. While the title could be ascribed to me personally for my recent tendency towards conservative and cautious views, it more importantly describes the current dichotomy in the gold sector. The mining sector saw its fundamentals hit rock bottom in 2014-2015 and became โ€œbombed outโ€ at the end of 2015. However, while parts of the industry have performed well, as a whole it has been unable to push higher after a torrid recovery in early 2016. A big reason is the outlook for metals prices suggests lower prices before any large advance. Until metals prices are ready to rise, the miners may find themselves in a bearish bull.”

    “The mining stocks have fallen below their 50 and 200-day moving averages and are even struggling around their 400-day moving averages (which provided support in December 2016) but this does not threaten the epic 2015-2016 bottom. There are a plethora of valuation metrics from January 2016 that are unlikely to be seen again. That time marked the worst 5 and 10-year rolling performance for gold stocks in 90 years. Gold stocks relative to the S&P 500 hit an all-time low and Gold stocks relative to Gold hit a 90 year low. Gold stocks price to book and price to cash flow valuations were the lowest in 40 years. (The data does not go back farther than that). Finally, January 2016 marked the end of the worst bear market ever. Remember this chart?”

    https://ceo.ca/@TheDailyGold/the-bearish-gold-bull

    May 12, 2017 12:15 PM

    Gold is just muddling along here. The longer it does this, the more likely it falls towards Docs mid-term range of $1160 I believe. Cant help a passing comment on bitcoin considering its all the rage at the moment. A daily price range of $170 must be a rollercoaster feeling but its the nature of the beast I suppose.

    May 12, 2017 12:24 PM

    I have been looking at 1150 for a long time and much lower targets in the longer term. The stock market is just dead now with no volatility so too tough to do easy trades. I cashed out at 2400 and will wait for that Vix to spike to 20 to 30+ which it will eventually do.

    May 12, 2017 12:56 PM

    It would be most bullish if coming out of the summer consolidation if Gold could take out the 2016 high of ($1377.50) and make a “higher high”. This may be most likely in the Fall rally from August – late October.

    * Here’s a #Gold chart that shows the 2015 Dec low of ($1045.40) and the 2016 peak at ($1377.50).

    http://www.stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24GOLD&p=D&yr=2&mn=0&dy=0&id=p52467914321

    – Notice also that since the December 2016 lows, that Gold made 3 “higher lows” at ($1124.30), ($1194.50), and then recently ($1214.30).

    – Also there have been 2 “higher highs” since the end of last year at ($1264.90) and ($1297.40).

    ** If Gold could just take out that recent peak @ ($1297.40) decisively on a closing basis; (and preferably above psychological resistance at the $1300 century mark), then that would still be a bullish set up for 2017 and moving into 2018.

      May 12, 2017 12:33 PM

      Excelsior that would be most bullish, unfortunately I cant see that price eventuating in the next few months. Hope im wrong. Regarding your price target of the $1370 range, that has become an area of increasing resistence for gold over the last 3-4 years. So a weekly close above that area would be the minimum objective for the bulls I wouldve thought. See how it pans out in the coming months.

        May 12, 2017 12:58 PM

        Good thoughts Ozibatla. Yes, over the next few months, May/June/July we may have some rips, dips, and pips…. but I’d expect the seasonally strong Aug/Sept/Oct to be were we see any “fireworks” for the year. As you say, we’ll see how it all pans out.

        Ever Upward.

          May 13, 2017 13:12 AM
