Gold Stocks, Silver, Oil, Natural Gas & SPX Peaking?

My Gold Stock Breakout Model

I use the chart to keep my big picture trades on the right side of gold. I found that gold stocks tend to lead the price of gold so watching this gold stock index on the monthly, weekly and daily charts can provide me with short term tops and bottoms for trading gold bullion, GLD or DGP exchange traded funds.

The monthly chart clearly shows the rally in stocks has now sold back down to my resistance trend line. If we do not get a rally this week in gold stocks, then I think we could see gold trade sideways or down for several months.

GLD Gold ETF Trading Fund – Newsletter

The daily gold bullion fund shows the recent price action and what I think could happen in the coming weeks. In the past couple days gold has moved to a short term support level where I think we could see buyers step in.

We took some profits near the high and continue to hold a core position until we have another technical breakdown or new setup to add more to the position again.

SLV Silver ETF Trading Fund – Newsletter

Silver is in the same boat as gold. We have taken some profits and are still holding a core position with protective stops in place just in case the market does head lower from here.

USO Crude Oil Trading Fund – Newsletter

Crude oil started to bleed lower last week as the price sliced through the multi month support trend line. Volume shot up as stop orders get triggered on the way down. We finally have a move outside of the pennant formation that has been in place for several months. Now we can start looking for a low risk setup for trading crude oil again.

UNG Natural Gas Trading Fund – Newsletter

Natural gas has really come back to life. I mentioned on September 2nd that natural gas (UNG) looked like a buy between $9 - $9.50 and it has now rallied 25% since that point. But we can see resistance is hovering over head between the $12 - $12.25.

I feel as though the market is ready for a larger pullback than what we had in June/July but my focus will be to buy in the oversold dips and lighten my positions in overbought conditions (scaling in and out of positions) until the trend confirms it has reversed.

Jobs Summit Delight!

By: My Wealth.com | 04/12/2009
The Bureau of Labor Statistics. BLS for short. Perhaps it should just be BS? On the heels of President Obama’s “Jobs Summit”, the shockingly surprising NFP number reported showed not only a much smaller number of jobs lost (11K vs. an expected 125K) but also a revised figure from October to a drop (111K vs. 190K previously reported). I suppose this is one time that the media can use the word “unexpected” and actually be correct.

As I gear up for the holiday invasion and the ensuing gluttony that’s about to transpire, I can’t help but look forward to my next vacation. I’m thinking somewhere tropical, perhaps the Caribbean, enjoying drinks with little umbrellas in them. I lull myself into daydream, counting waves and sunsets as island music fills the air. Yet all is not perfect. And then it hits me like a ton of bricks—the calypso music I’m hearing is being played by none other than our esteemed Fed Chairman Bernanke!

Tap in to China!

By: Bob Obrien | 17/11/2009 | Investing
In 1995, the NASDAQ was trading around 1000. On 3/10/2000, it hit a peak of 5048. Such euphoria had not been seen since the railroad boom of the 1840s or the automobile boom of the 1920s. Now it is China’s turn.
