Matt, so far looks like I might
have made a costly mistake buying DGP today. In at $18.40 . Noticed
quite a few on the blog bought yesterday, and it dropped a bunch
more today. thought that 420 level on the metal was a good risk
reward entry today. stocks are another story. Still have some dry
powder left, will wait and see what happens.
May add some more on another big
pullback in the metal. tough call here, but I believe that double
long fund, and my huge position in auy will be lookin good in
time.
I'm open to opinions here, but watchin close. GG
in the mid to low 20's looks good to me too. Just random thoughts,
any others are appreciated :-)
thanks for the feedback guys.
yea, the strong dollar, election yr, etc worry me a bit too.
believe Both the metal and stocks are at a critical point here,
both are oversold for sure.will probably be able to get out
with a small loss if I need to, will watch close and try to
keep my shirt. thanks for the feedback. I have no doubt Matt will
go over this on the update, I think it will all work out,
I would watch $ 790 area on Gold. If that Area doesn't
hold then I would get worried on your entry cost position.
Remember IMHO Matt's call of trying the trade at 65MA on weekly was
more than 2 day trade.

Probably will get some capitulation 2morrow on Goldstocks and
related metal stocks....SWC, PAL. Seen URRE made a 52 wk
low..!!! under 2.00. GSS, CDE...at bargain
prices...and many others
Margin calls on highly leveraged long gold/short $, are the
reason for this sell off. Open Interest must be falling by 20K
contracts per day...at this stage....Over 85K from last COTs
report...for sure....till today....
Market may be recognizing the lack of financing in the mining
sector in the future, putting another pressure on the sector.
Hui 280 good target.....SLV 14.00/13.50.... The ride up will not
be easy or fast, after the initial oversold bounce....
Looking at Live 24hr Gold Chart. (12:15AM EST) It
appears heavy selling during first 45mins of Asia Hong Kong
open. Do you think since NY close down so sharply that stops
on Hong Kong market hit therefore making a "False" sell
off?
Hong Kong market just traded $ 807.90 which is $ 5 bucks above
Hong Kong intraday low
it's more like a waterfall sell
off. I think the HUI is likely to test 300 tomorrow or even
lower. Actually, I remeasured the H&S pattern and it
measures to 280! This area is sick!
HUI 5 wave anyone??
Posted by perthx on 11th of Aug 2008 at 10:52 pm
Can anyone make a 5 wave decline out of the HUI from the recent top at 479ish? I can't but if someone can then there is a chance we are near a bottom.
I note that wave A was 33 trade days and that a fib .618 of that from the July 15th B wave top is either Tomorrow or mid day Wednesday.
At this point, not only would I not be surprised to see the HUI just keep dropping at 10x the move in gold, but I expect it.

Not yet, I think
Yep, that's a possible wave

Yep, that's a possible wave count.
Matt, Gold in Asia traded down

I would be careful about jumping into gold stocks. While Elliot Wave has stated a support level around 800 their long term target for gold is 600.

That's what I said below, that it was down after hrs
If gold gaps down tomorrow, that could potentially put in some kind of bottom
Probably will get some capitulation

it may be smart not to buy gold or related stocks early and wait for a rally after the 2:30PM time frame

If we gap down with gold down 15+ points I will buy the heck out of gold stocks if we stabilize in the first half hour.
