10/1/12 Hussman hits a line drive

Not yet, obviously. But he will. He's a smart guy, and he won't be wrong for much longer. How does this fit in with being bullish over the next few months? It either doesn't fit, or we spike down hard and bounce.

  2. Watching the DJIA spike +150 points this morning, all I could come up with was a silent question to the bidders. 'You're buying now?'

    1. Yes, I think the China QE news was being bought, that is until Bernanke started defending, or perhaps better said, restating, his reasons for QE.

  13. "AUMN - Is this thing a $5 beach ball?"

    Grab it in low 5's while you can. Despite a strong post-FOMC rally in $USD, silver and gold have gone sideways, not down. Once the $USD rally is over (and we may have seen the top yesterday, since today $USD dropped below yesterday's low: http://www.finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=DX&p=h1), silver and gold will have the next leg up, and all miners will follow.

  14. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-02/bernanke-seeks-gains-for-stocks-in-push-for-jobs-economy.html

    "The Fed’s large-scale asset purchases will probably lift stocks by 3 percent over the two years following the Sept. 13 announcement of QE3 as low yields on government bonds push investors into risker assets, according to a Sept. 27 report by Deutsche Bank economists."

    3 percent over two years??? That's laughable...

    1. NLY under $17 will yield 12%......

      Delete
    2. GGN - This one might retest the 50SMA ($14), the yield there is about the same as NLY? I'm not sure it's not just returning of shareholder money though, how does GGN produce income?

      NLY produces income by taking advantage of interest rate spreads.

  16. Since the lows on Friday and the highs on Monday, silver has made a horizontal flag, which converged to a point at the close today. Tomorrow we will have a breakout.

  21. Gold - A close better than $1780 would be a positive development.

  22. MEOH - Trying to break out of the pennant, experiencing difficulty.

  23. The recent pullback in YRCW could be over…there has been some good support around $6.6. Having seen just about everything rally that you would classify as risky, I would have to imagine that when this thing gets going it could rally for a month or two straight without really pulling back much. 200 to 300% rally over that time is possible. The tough part as always will be holding on for the ride.

    1. Cancel this trade probably, $WTIC might fall under $80 and NG should go up if this happens.

      YRCW likes low fuel prices, huh?

  38. AUMN - $4.80 does keep on holding, $5 will be history if gold closes better than $1780, IMO.

    Full speed ahead!

  40. Judging by how AUMN is trading today (it went deep into the red at some point, while GDXJ gapped up and never looked back), it looks like it is in the stage of being totally despised and unloved. Could a secondary share offering really create such a mistrust toward AUMN? I would understand if it couldn't get up much higher above $5.75 for a while, but why is it stuck below $5???

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. One trader on seekingalpha mentioned that he sees large blocks of shares for sale periodically, and given AUMN's very low volume, even a single larger trader can affect the stock for several days while exiting his position...
