The big movers today is the move down in the USD and oil

Doc joins Cory and Al to recap the markets from today. Gold garnered a buy which was mostly due to the drop in the US Dollar of almost a full half point. Oil also moved down and Cory is looking at some lower price targets.

    Glad to see silver in the roaring $20’s

    Aug 10, 2016 10:36 PM

    Hi Doc, when I heard about the huge find in the Carlin by GSV, which is 20% owned by OCANF, I decided not to wait any longer for a correction in Oceana and bought a truckload at the Tues opening @3.36. Do you still expect OCANF to go below 3?

      DFS
      Aug 10, 2016 10:49 PM

      OCANF up 7%, GSV up 30% today…..I guess I don’t understand your reasoning.

        Aug 10, 2016 10:04 PM

        GSV had already screamed up while OCANF had gone down after the announcement, so I went with OCANF. Now I wish I’d bought GSV. But OCANF is good too.

      Aug 10, 2016 10:44 PM

      Bonzo Barzini, Oceana gold is a great investment. they get the right people working for them. I would not second guess the management at OGC.

        Aug 10, 2016 10:10 PM

        Oceana must have smart people as they bought 20% of GSV a year ago. NEM was right next door to GSV and did nothing. Now NEM or ABX will probably wind up paying billions for GSV.

            Weighted alpha for OCANF is 100.18
            ………………..for GSV is 268.95,
            So I would dispute your graphical interpretations.
            I’m not saying anything negative about OCANF. That was not my point, I believe it is worth owning, but when I invest I try to use the best fundamtal analysis, plus as much new information as possible. I don’t short term trade, so my analysis is aimed at week/month/year time scales. The weighted alpha gives extrapolated linear projections for relative price movement over a month-like time scale. (With zero being flat line, negative implying price drop)

          Aug 10, 2016 10:24 PM

          One of their management personnel worked at GSV. They also have management that understands Nulegacy. I know you know because I read your posts. DT

    Aug 10, 2016 10:42 PM

    Interesting comments from Doc about putting your money into precious metals as opposed to conventionals going forward.

    I still find it hard to believe that people think that many miners could double, treble or even more from this price point… but we seem to be living in scary times again where the aim appears to be to devalue the price of paper money. Scary. This has echos of Germany in the 1930s.

      Hello Bob UK,

      Hope all’s well.

      Re: your comment “I still find it hard to believe that people think that many miners could double, treble or even more from this price point”.

      Do this little exercise for yourself:
      1) run some valuation numbers for the miners with (2) some metal pricing assumptions – of course, pricing assumptions gotta be higher than what pricing is now, if you believe this is what will occur.

      NOOOOWWWW (then) look at the charts.

      Still find it hard to believe ? 😉

      What will push prices higher is liquidity (ie all those who are NOT yet in the sector).
      Those who think that the whole world is now on the precious metal train and almost everybody is invested (hence we are now in a big precious metals bubble again) are (to use a word Bob Moriarty taught me recently –> Bob, PS: I love you man) dingbats.
      I spoke to the CEO of a financial institution today. They manage about $1.5bn of capital (small in the grand scheme of things, I know).
      Do you know what is their exposure to precious metals (bullion or stocks): the answer is a 4 letter word starting with a “Z”, ending with “O” and with “ER” in the middle.
      I’m telling you: d-i-n-g-b-a-t-s.

      Some people think they are (heroic ?) contrarians when they say the sector is not in a bull market yet.
      Contrarian ??? If contrarian implies being pretty lonely in the market to have an opinion, I have bad news for this people… Coz I can pinpoint those “pseudo contrarians” to a bunch of people in the asset management industry who still have ZERO exposure to the metals – including some hedge fund owners I know personally – and don’t wanna hear about metals (I suppose, not yet at least….).
      When prices will be HIGHER, they will finally admit this sector is in a bull.

      So do you know how this is called ? It’s called being a “Tape follower”. T-a-p-e f-o-l-l-o-w-e-r.
      It reminds some who on KER, were saying when gold was near $1100 that… well… when gold will be ABOVE $1400ish THEN it will be “safe” to invest in gold becoz THEN that level would mean gold is out of the bear again. I mean… seriously… Is that proper investing ??? [I repeat: tape followers]

      Back to you Bob:
      Sharpen your pencil or warm up your calculator, and let me/us know how the little exercise went. 😉 I promise you, you’ll be amazed at what running a few numbers and looking at a chart can do. 😉 This exercise will give you your OWN perspective on stocks instead of listening to “people” (including monkeys like myself).
      Keep your head cool and don’t get too carried away though. That’s all.

      Best as always,

      LPG

      PS: if you need some assistance with a few stocks, shoot an email to Cory/Big Al to my attention. They’ll forward it and I’ll try to assist.

          Hello Bonzo,
          Hope all’s well w. you.
          I think “abruti” would be appropriate… although “imbecile” or “idiot” should also work.
          But “abruti” is one notch above “imbecile” or “idiot” in my book, hence my preference in that case 😉
          Best as always,
          LPG

            Aug 10, 2016 10:16 PM

            Merci, LPG. “Idiot” et “imbecile” sont the meme en Anglais et Francais. “Abruti” sounds like an Italian word. I took 3 years of French in college in the ’60’s and they never taught me the word “abruti.” I must remember it if I ever return to France or Quebec.

          Naaaaaa C/DFS…..

          I like Bob Uk. On this one, he finds it “hard to believe”.

          So instead of relying on belief, I just suggested to Bob to use a pencil/calculator to run a few numbers, and then look at some charts… Everything will come into place then. Time will take care of everything.

          Again, time will take care of everything. For plenty of stocks… these past 8 mths have already taken care of the past 2.5-3yrs.

          But nothing moves in a straight line – hence my comment of “Keep your head cool and don’t get too carried away though.”

          Best to you and to all,

          Once Gryphon & Teranga finish their merger, the combined company will be set up nicely for expansion. Teranga is still undervalued compared to it’s peers like Roxgold, Asanko, and Endeavour Mining, and could become a takeover candidate themselves….

            Aug 11, 2016 11:54 AM

            BTW there is still an arbitrage value between the Gryphon shares and the Teranga shares. The conversion rate is (.169) shares of Teranga (TGCDF) for each Gryphon Minerals (GPHYF) share. I bought even more at the open this morning (I’ve done this a few times now) on the cheap, and the spread has tightened back up a bit today, but still….
