"GM go check out GE Forum and you can count the bears on one hand. Action looks terrible. If we start to run upside I may run over your back getting back in."
TFH - when hasn't vronsky and devotees not been bullish on gold stocks? You will get kicked off from that site if you have any negative thing to say about gold. But here instead are just a couple of the sources I follow:
Attached below is a Sharefin Global Gold Producer sentiment index chart worth your perusal - can be followed over at financialsense.com (What does this history chart tell you?)
Or check out gold sentiment as measured by the CEF fund – has been hovering near 0 or slightly above for the last several months.
Or notice the Rydex PM fund asset level – it's half of its '03 peak. In fact the sentiment among small traders has gone from overly bullish to overly bearish in an extremely short time period. At the same time, big traders have accumulated shares in the sector at a very impressive rate.
What does this all mean? How about a sizeable intermediate term up-move will be the next likely major development.
Possible catalyst you ask? How about a pause followed by a reversal of the Fed's rate hike campaign after consideration of the slowing economy and the precarious housing bubble for starters. I mean isn't that what the wall street geniouses are finally coming to realize – a slow down in the second half of 2005 as forecast by some including myself here last fall?
Did you hear that bell ring? I did, you know, the one that rings loudly at the beginning of the end of the global real estate bubble.
As I said, tomorrow's trade numbers MAY matter to the dollar.
Pretty simple, dollar goes down, gold goes up, gold stocks dragged along kicking and screaming until 460 looks achievable. Then gold stocks take off. Looks like June possibly July when that gets fully underway - until then gold's uptrend remains intact and gold stocks continue to build cause.
All this just my opinion of course.
