S&P Lower Targets, Fed Policy Differences, and Target Deficits but At Debt/GDP
Doc joins me today to share his thoughts on the US markets, Fed policy, and overall deficits in the US. What is important when it come to the larger deficit is that debt to GDP has been held in check. If we see this broader based slowdown then this ratio could get out of hand which make everything much harder for the Fed and US overall.

Paul, gold is topping again and then we move back down toward the 1200 area again. As mentioned before, I believe we’re in the process of forming a lower trading range. I wouldn’t be surprised to see oil move down into the 40-45 range before it bottoms.
GDX is likely coming back down to backtest the 100 dma this week and into the 19th. I’m guessing that the Fed is give GDX and gold a quick pop to test their respective 50 WMAs, but I think they come right back down. Basically, I think GDX is going to be more or less sandwiched between its rising 10 WMA and its declining 50 WMA. Also, I am expecting a large drop below the 10 WMA in late January. I think the miners will make the next big upward move in early February which will be the beginning of the next intermediate cycle, which should take GDX back over $23.

Hi Doc, have you sold your MRK? I sold mine today@77.49. I paid 9 for it and should’ve sold in 2001@97. It fell to 20 in 2009. Now I can get thrice the dividend from IMBBY or twice with MO. If our grandfather had put $1000 into MO in 1925 it would be worth 50 million today. If we had put $1000 into MO in 1970 it would be worth 5 million today.
Hi Doc. Can you give me any insights on the Scandium International chart? The ticker is SCYYF or SCY.TO. Best Regards, Charles
Charles, interesting chart. Looking at the long term charts on this one is most important. I feel eventually the BBs on the monthly chart will really narrow. It appears this stock will take another run down to about $.15 on the Toronto stock exchange—scy.to. By the way, that narrowing should happen sometime in the second quarter of 2019.
Thanks Doc. Really appreciate your take. I bought some at around $0.16 per share a while back and was thinking about buying some more, but I will wait for a while to see if the monthly BB comes as you anticipate.
Once there is a deal on trade, this market will slingshot to new highs dragging everyone and there dog back in before the crash.

Miners operating in Colombia accused of forcing people off their land
Valentina Ruiz Leotaud | a day ago
“South Africa’s AngloGold Ashanti (JSE:ANG) (NYSE:AU) and Canada’s Continental Gold (TSX: CNL), as themselves or as their subsidiaries, are amongst the foreign companies mentioned in the report. Back in 2014, both miners had to abandon their gold operations in the Chocó and Antioquia departments because they were taking place on the land of the Embera-Katío tribe.”

Is The Gold Bull Market Over?
Our recent guests on Palisade Radio don’t think so.
The Palisade Blog – 7th December 2018
“As we already know, the price of gold is still consolidating within the 1200 range, and because of this the general appetite for precious metals from the average investor is still very low key and skeptical. It is fair to say that gold is still under the radar of most mainstream investors, and even fewer are interested in the beaten up junior gold stocks.”
“But for us and for some of our most recent guests at Palisade Radio, this spells opportunity.”
After Seeing ‘The Worst,’ Silver To Reach $18 In 2019 – ABN AMRO
Anna Golubova – Monday December 10, 2018
“Silver prices have been beaten up more than we had foreseen,” said the Dutch bank’s senior precious metals and diamond analyst, Georgette Boele. “Year-to-date, silver prices have declined more than 14% and speculators hold extreme short positions.”
“The metal has disappointed many traders this year due to its stubbornness and inability to rally during risk-off trading sessions.”
“Some of the major downward drivers have been a stronger U.S. dollar, higher U.S. Treasury yields, Federal Reserve’s monetary policy tightening, uncertainty surrounding the Chinese economy, and lower jewelry demand, Boele pointed out.”
Doc what your thoughts on oil? Also will gold retest 1200 area or are we headed higher from here now that stocks are collapsing.
