Welcome to GCRU #133 on Oct 20, 2004.
It was a perfect time for a skip-week. Gold used the fortnight
to pop up its usual formula-$5 (420 to 425), then corrected
to 415 closing basis (intraday 410), then, having found its footing,
resumed the uptrend. Gold appears to be "preparing"
for a move to its 435 April high.
Gold shares were marginally stronger than bullion. Last
week's correction was triggered by a 10% fall in copper (&
also by China worriers) which brought uncertainty into the commodity
mkt in general. It was the 33,000th reminder ()
that profits are meant
to be taken on board when available. Some stks had bearish overbought
upwedges (NRD, AAUK, TEK, NG) which needed cooling off. But never
fear, the falling US$ is here. It broke recent lows, to touch
an 8mo low, after conclusively breaking down from the June-Sept
symmetrical triangle. Hard to see how gold shares could suffer
any major shorterm weakness with the US$ in such a persistent
downtrend. The euro is also flirting with high ground. Other
currencies are likewise gradually looking better vs US$. Many
prior high flyer golds are cooling off, a la Glamis, Meridian
& Teck, but their action so far looks like healthy consolidation
rather than approaching weakness. Novagold is still overextended
& subject to pullback action of a sort (click).
Newmont is maintaining a steadfast uptrend with scope for downside
consolidation before nearing its May uptrend. (click).
Good to see blue-chip momentum holding. Ditto Agnico.
Most energy shares have held well, but take profits now&then
& maintain fairly close stops. The energy index chart shows
a healthy rise & is now confronting resistance from the top
boundary of its uptrend channel, so consolidation/pullback is
not unlikely. Repeat this mantra each morning: "I am not
in markets to make profits. (pause) I am in mkts to take
profits." Paper profits are will o' the wisp. Banked profits
are real -- & good for the morale. Tip: watch for 1-day reversals in both stks &
indexes. They are often amazingly helpful for predicting or starting
reversals, usually shorterm but not always. No tool always works
but when a 1-day reversal is backed with another, it's usually
powerful.
GCRU has members in 42
countries. But then, gold is the most international of
investments! I appreciate you spreading the word. Strategy
today: if U are under-invested, place some buy orders
just under the mkt in shares we comment favourably on. And in
some cases at breakout prices. The mkt smells like it's preparing
to move moderately higher, probably in its usual $5 steps, so
position yourself accordingly. And let the mkt pay U for your
time via the profits U grab.
Good luck from your currently
Swiss-visiting alchemist gold guru,
Uncle
Harry
PS: Gold is opening little changed in Asia & Europe
today. Which is good as that means Tuesday's gains are holding.
The yen broke out upside Tues vs US$. Oz$ in minisymmetrical
triangle with target of 74 vs US$.US$ made new low at the Tues
close. NY gold futures have made a mini-symmetrical triangle
over last few days with a happy target of 436-437, the old high,
a great place to take profits as it will be a resistance level.
If oil breaks 52, could dip to 47.50. Main oil trend will be
up for years, but along the way are many big bumps in the road.
Possible H&S top in S&P. Sell at 1129. Gold outlook increasingly
positive. Bye. Uncle
