A Service You Should Consider

Posted by Peter Grandich at 4:54 PM on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

After once being  a legend in my own mind, I’ve easily accepted the fact I will never be the smartest, second smartest, etc., guy in the world. Instead, I realized if I could find individuals and groups who have demonstrated to me a special skill, I could incorporate all of them into my thoughts and hopefully then have something good going for me. A case in point would be my belief that Mr. David Walker is a 21st century financial prophet and it paid handsomely incorporating that into my work.

Here’s two links to a super service I believe just about all readers can benefit from. You can begin receiving it free by just providing your email address. I fully support their comments on the gold and the U.S. stock market.

Update

Posted by Peter Grandich at 3:18 PM on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Markets are quite interesting at the moment. The inevitable stock market correction appears to have finally taken hold. A 5%-10% decline would be the least one would look for as of right now. I wouldn’t yet bet against the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” crowd so I’m quite content on watching this unfold from the sidelines.

Gee, gold options expired today and what do you know gold fell $30+ the last three days. What a coincidence. I suspect we’ll see a bounce in gold followed by some selling to see if the bears can finally do some real damage. Based on their track record up until now, I wouldn’t break into a sweat if you’re long term bullish like me.

The U.S. Dollar is once again trying to get some sort of a counter-trend rally going but needs to get a close above 78 on the U.S. Dollar Index to do so. Even if it does, any rally looks like it should be capped below 84.

I remain neutral on oil and screaming bearish on 10yr. and higher U.S. Treasuries.

I’m going to put a buy again on NSU as this sharp correction from $3.40 just last week seems to have been enough of a correction. I paid up to $2.60 today and will use that as a buy limit.

I’m adding a new recommendation to my model portfolio. Buy East Asia Minerals (EAS-TSX-V $1.78) up to $1.85

Keep a $1.55 buy limit on KMK until further notice. There’s a lot more to this situation than meets the eye so be careful of what you assume is real information from people who may be playing with one or two hands tied behind their backs.

Special Alert

Posted by Peter Grandich at 10:40 AM on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Continental Minerals (KMK-TSX-V $1.50) is my largest personal holding which I added to aggressively this morning. While I don’t work for the company, I do work for other companies managed by KMK’s management group, Hunter-Dickinson.

I’ve been speculating that KMK is a takeover target. The recent entry of a Chinese mining company as the second large Chinese company to hold a significant stake in KMK, IMHO has set off a ticking clock for either them or another party or parties to make a bid for KMK. This news today was the tip off as far as I’m concerned. I believe they’re posturing to make a bid. The original large shareholder can not afford IMHO to wait and must be preemptive.

I’m raising the buy limit on KMK to $1.55. Please remember, one must be prepared to lose part or all their capital when speculating/gambling.

gold_10-23-09

As noted over the weekend, option expiration in the gold market led to weakness. What a surprise-lol! While risk remains to $1,015 – $1,025, and even as low as either side of $1,000 if the U.S. Dollar can get above 78 on the U.S. Dollar Index, don’t lose sight of the bigger technical picture. Richard Russell of The Dow Theory Newsletter has correctly noted how gold has once again broken out from a bullish triangle formation. We remain in a secular bull market that’s been stealth-like and dominated in the news by bears (who have been wrong over and over again) and weak-kneed bulls who missed the latest up move and desperately need a bigger pullback to get back in so not to lose face.
