Our impression of the moves today in gold, the USD and US markets

Cory
September 22, 2016

On today’s market wrap we focus on the moves today in gold the US dollar and the US markets. Gold was running through the first half of the day but turned slightly before the close. The same was the case for the dollar in the inverse. Tomorrow will be crucial to see if gold and continue its move up and take out the most recent high.

    The moves today in gold and silver were muted at best.

    After yesterday’s FOMC meeting and an admission by the FED they have no answers and the money printing will continue gold and silver should have blasted higher.

    Should have been up $50 and $2 respectively.

    However as usual they are not behaving the way you would want them to.

    The $1340 level is incredibly hard to over take.

    Stocks have a green light and will go, gold and silver need to get air in their tires.

    It’s the same old meme

    Who needs gold when we have stocks

    Until stocks crash they will always be competing forces

    CARSON CITY, Nev., Sept. 22, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Del Toro Silver Corp. (DTOR) (“Del Toro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that on September 14, 2016 it renewed the November 14, 2011 asset sale agreement with Bowerman Holdings LLC to acquire up to 75% of the historic Discovery Day gold property in Siskiyou County, California. As compensation for the renewal, the Company paid one million restricted shares of common stock to Trinity Alps Resources, Inc., the parent company of Bowerman Holdings LLC. The agreement extends the closing of the transaction until March 17, 2017 and provides for as many as three additional 90 day extension periods.

      Sep 22, 2016 22:31 PM

      Thanks CFS. Very interesting.

      Make new friends, but keep the old, one is Silver and the other’s Gold…..

        Sep 22, 2016 22:52 PM

        They may need to rebrand as Del Toro Gold…….

      Sep 23, 2016 23:13 AM

      CFS, would you happen to know why MSHA suspended del toro operations, at discovery day?

    Sep 22, 2016 22:07 PM

    What the world needs more than for gold to reach its true value is for the world to actually practice the golden rule. Events in this country and the world at large demonstrate this need.

    Lemetropole Cafe snippet…Ring the bell, +1.00%…. circled number again, mostly

    Another day, another 1% cap job- mostly. In the past 17 years the cartel has hit my circled numbers so many times that it has filled an entire legal pad of pages. That’s using 5-6 circled numbers per page BTW. I guess clairvoyance is no longer considered anything special. Either that, or MSM, TA guys, and the ostrich parade refuse to ignore the biggest elephant in the room when considering a manipulated market. The initial high tick of $1344.70, which was the exact number circled the previous night, was achieved at 11:23 AM. Blatant capping was obvious all morning as the cartel once more went to their rope-a-dope routine. While later exceeding 1% by about 2 bucks it was clear the Maginot magnet resided at the circled number. Judging by the usual cartel short ammo required to quell uprisings I’ll predict another 10 – 15K of O.I. increase as a result when the tally is revealed. While this Peter Hug headline No Good End In Sight was referring to Fed goings on it was totally appropriate for the endless capping of gold. Maybe Kitco is now at least subliminally acknowledging gold manipulation?

    The HUI and silver signals appear to be saying tomorrow will be a no follow-through day. Breaking that cartel rule, on a Friday, would be peachy keen. While nobody in MSM can breathe a word there appears to be big concerns behind the scenes over the economic slowdown. Economic stall speed is a frightening thought riding onboard the Hillary for WH jet. Housing, automobiles, and sundry retail data all indicate the preponderance of people tapping out. Seeing how this was at least the 31st Fed meeting in the last 8 years featuring the threat, but ultimately no go on rate hikes we can assume it is as bad as we suspect. See you back here in 3 months, Janet.

    Gold is poised to launch. It can’t get any more obvious. Silver is on the cusp of hyper-volatility as well. We know by heart the numbers needing to be cracked. The seasonals and fundamentals are on board. The technicals could be if they were allowed to. When it happens the cartel rules will certainly wobble and fail. As of right now it is a very torturous waiting game. Promising, yet infuriating. Welcome to the 2016 version of Groundhog Day.

    I think it may be time for oil to correct again and the general market. OIl has moved up 8% from the bottom so quickly. USO from 9.82 to 10.61. The oil stocks were weakening today and could not hold anywhere close to the open.

    Sep 22, 2016 22:22 PM

    They could not raise rates in September as it is crash season so they will raise for sure later this year.

    Cory, how about Colorado Resources? What are your technicals telling you and how does it jive with the comments made on Aug 26th?

      Sep 22, 2016 22:27 PM

      I don’t follow it but the chart is not like most “pump and dumps” I’ve seen.

      I have to go with Brent Cook on this one as there are a number of perfectly legit reasons why a small speculative company can plunge like that without anything nefarious going on.

          Sep 22, 2016 22:16 PM

          If that’s the case (and if I were a shareholder), I would want to know if Brent’s change of heart is do drill results/project issues or a loss of faith in management. In other words, does HE agree with Otto’s pump and dump claim or is it just a legit spec that isn’t working out?

          Many dumps are not the result of shady pumps. I think the retail crowd tends to forget just how dangerous these things are at all times.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:17 PM

            Typo: “…is due to drill results…”

            Sep 22, 2016 22:33 PM

            Yes, the drill results are in the press release that came out yesterday.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:35 PM

            Check out Eric Coffin’s thoughts on drill results and the quality of management below. Eric is going to have them at his upcoming conference and knows the project quite intimately.

            The sale today wasn’t just because of Otto by any stretch of the imagination, and was totally news driven, which affect the sentiment.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:38 PM

            @HRA-Coffin “They have to figure out how to target the other areas on the project. I think they should have taken a shot at some of them while the drill was on site. They can probably build some sort of resource at Inel but it won’t be the monster traders were hoping for and, well, it’s the end of September. That’s a big part of the problem, and something you should all keep in mind when it comes to Golden Triangle deals. If they are going to put out results in one big whoosh they’d better be good. ”

            Sep 22, 2016 22:39 PM

            I didn’t think for a minute that it was due to Otto. I was just wondering if there’s a shred of evidence that this thing was/is a pump and dump. Like I said above, the chart tells me the answer is no.

            Remember, I do not follow CXO at all.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:41 PM

            There are more comments below along with a post from Rob McLeod of IDM Mining.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:41 PM

            Otto might -MIGHT- mean well, but he’s got a generous chip on both of his left shoulders.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:43 PM

            Basically it’s the end of drilling season, and they didn’t get the results investors were hoping for. That is always the risk with exploration.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:44 PM

            I agree with you regarding Otto. He is a bit jaded at times, and tends to dwell to much on the problems, but not the solutions and opportunities, but he at least says what’s on his mind. Does he always get right – nobody does…..

            Sep 22, 2016 22:45 PM

            That’s what I thought. So Otto is full of shit with the pump and dump claim.

            Sep 22, 2016 22:47 PM

            Don’t miss out on the funny investors reactions to Otto posted below. There is more chatter about this 30+% haircut in the CXO room. That link is also posted below and it quite entertaining….

            Sep 22, 2016 22:34 PM

            for clarification, I have now posted additional comments, but the funniest ones dealt with the cookie monster (B.C.).

            Sep 22, 2016 22:38 PM

            The other comments are what investor panic reads like. It’s a bummer as many were counting on Colorado Resources to find a juggernaut of a deposit, and the holes underwhelmed. It sounds like there are more holes that still will get assayed, but that Brent Cook is now out, and there are many other newsletter writers that likely told subscribers to bail today, but plenty of investors that new the press release was underwhelming. The rest is the wave over-reaction from investor sentiment loss and fear. A sad day for exploration companies in the Golden Triangle.

            They still may be able to pull of a few good holes, but exploration is risky business.

      Sep 22, 2016 22:35 PM

      Yes, Colorado is followed by Brent Cook, Eric Coffin, Alan Barry, Gwen Preston, and a number of geo-newsletter writters. They’ve been hitting some prospective targets up in the Golden Triangle region, and have a large number of superfans on CEO.

      I guess they put out this press release yesterday and the excitement fell a little flat:

        Sep 22, 2016 22:41 PM

        Small Jr explorers like this are much more susceptible to an out-sized move due to news flow. (just like Orezone lately, or the pop Nicola Mining got from it’s copper grades).

        I hoping for a discovery and newsflow over at Norther Shield in their ongoing drill program, because it is either going to flop or sail on the news. (fingers crossed)…..

          I don’t agree with all of Otto’s thoughts either. He can get a little overly jaded or down on companies that have still done OK, but he sure speaks his mind and calls it like HE see it. He has brought to many investors minds potential challenges companies may face, but sometimes, it seems all he does is focus on the downside risks, and misses the upside potential.

            Here’s a few more final comments worth reviewing on the Colorado Resources train wreck:

            @DanO “$cxo tested a 500m by 600m zone only. The last nr features intercepts that are shallow i.e. open pittable therefore continuity cannot be a big issue as it would be in an underground setting. Many hi grade intercepts, and lower (but economic grades) over larger intervals e.g. 74m @ 1.02 g/t Au; 31.5m @ 1.46g/t Au; 41m @ 1.0 g/t Au. Previous holes hit 99m @ 2.11 g/t gold. At Inel they have three mineralized horizons. I will have a detailed look at their results in a few weeks i.e after completing some work but I cannot see any reason for panic selling. The properties are large and there are numerous mineralization centres. There is gold in those hills that’s for sure and a large property hosting all kinds of mineralization waiting to be drilled and linked/connected and assessed/estimated.

      Here was Alan’s response for the other side of the story. Where the truth lies – unknonwn?

      —> @Allan “Anonymous Otto must have had a slow news day. I thought he was the guy that didn’t like lying stock promoters.

I have a reputation in the diamond business and it matters a lot to me. Finding diamonds while prospecting on the surface is extremely rare. As the president, he shouldn’t be lying to folks to attract investors. I brought it up with the board and they chose to continue to support Chris. Chain of custody is a legal requirement for every stone, this stuff means a lot. If you wonder how accurate about this story, ask yourself why Chris Taylor and the board don’t take me to court. “

    Having been invited on to CNBC to discuss his views of the market, famous short-seller Bill Fleckenstein explained rather eloquently that QE4 is coming and people will wake up to the fact that central bankers “are the arsonists that create the fire, not the firemen that put it out.” This non-mainstream view was treated with disdain by CNBC host Tim Seymour who slammed Fleckenstein for “missing out” on the “artificial market’s” (because even CNBC now admits that’s what it is) gains. The response was epic.

      Bill nailed it across the board.

    In the 1930’s most Americans didn’t know that FDR was crippled, the media didn’t talk about it for obvious reasons but this wasn’t an issue because his disability didn’t affect his cognitive functions. With Hillary we don’t know if she has had a concussion, this is much more serious than a physical disability. DT

      Sep 22, 2016 22:40 PM

      And even worse about Hillary, she is a nasty, evil, murderous power mad crook—a cross between Lady Macbeth and nurse Ratched.

      DT I left a couple of thoughts for you today on the Rick A blog towards the top about Wellgreen Platinum.

      Any thoughts you may have that post would be appreciated if you get a moment.

      Cheers!

        Sep 22, 2016 22:22 PM

        Hi Ex, I am so glad that sanity has prevailed on this board, I find American politics so interesting that I haven’t had much time for stocks. I like Wellgreen a lot as you know and I will have a look at it later and get back to you. It would be interesting to hear what Rick has to say about it’s technical’s, I’m sure it will soon break out of it’s slumber soon. DT

          Sep 22, 2016 22:23 PM

          And by the way Ex, thanks! DT

            Sep 22, 2016 22:05 PM

            DT – Yes, sanity prevailing is becoming more uncommon in the world and it is refreshing it happened for the KER.

            As for Wellgreen, I think now that Diane (Ex Romarco CEO that sold it to OceanaGold) is in charge, and she brought over a few other Ex-Romarco contacts, that they’re about to get things dialed in.

            People that follow her know she’s good at the game, and gets results. I am very excited about this change-up on the team, the focus, and the visibility for Wellgreen. In addition, there has been a fair bit of focus again on the Yukon with it’s own conference and site tours earlier this year, and now Wellgreen is also getting highlighted at these investment conferences. It should put them on the map now.

            On a side note, I am also intrigued that the old CEO of Wellgreen moved over to Monster Mining and just changed the name to Metallic Minerals Corp.

            Musical chairs with the CEOs to take their respective projects forward.

          Sep 22, 2016 22:03 PM

          DT, fwiw, I think WG is going to .60 for starters but the move might not be imminent. It looks like a little more sideways action is in order.

          I do not own it.

            I think IVN could have ONE OF the highest PO prices,(of all the pm.copper,silver stocks etc)some years in the future.
            Thanks,Excelsior.

            Sep 23, 2016 23:39 AM

            Ivanhoe is definitely got 3 killer projects, although, I still worry a bit about the Congo jurisdiction & S. Africa jurisdictions sometimes. However I feel confident in Robert Friedland and team to navigate their company through that environment.

            When you say highest PO prices, did you mean Price Optionality, or Purchase Order, or Precious Opportunity?

            Sep 23, 2016 23:56 AM

            Sorry,i meant peak out price,reach the highest share price when it tops,
            Yes,there are challenges and issues for sure,but i belive that they will do it.

            Sep 23, 2016 23:02 AM

            “Peak Out” prices. Got it. (personally I hope that peak is years away 🙂 )

            Sep 23, 2016 23:22 AM

            I meant that IVN could reach one of the highest share prices,of all the pm etc,stocks in the future(many years)
            My language skills need some work,i know.
            “Precious opportunity” lol,i like that.

            Sep 23, 2016 23:30 AM

            Ha! Yeah I did too. I saw you post a LOTR message a week or so back, but when I wrote Precious Opportunity, I couldn’t shake this image:

          The following excerpt was supposed to be included under the Gryphon News release up above, but better late than never…..eh?

          “This is an exciting transaction and we are pleased that Gryphon’s shareholders voted significantly in favour of the Scheme,” stated Richard Young, President and Chief Executive Officer of Teranga.

          “Together Gryphon and Teranga are stronger as one, creating a multi-jurisdictional mid-tier West African growth company. Following the close of the transaction, we will have a cash generative producing asset in Senegal, near term growth from the development of the Banfora project in Burkina Faso and highly prospective land positions in each of these countries as well as Cote d’Ivoire. The combined management team has extensive experience in all phases of mining from exploration through to project development and operations.”

            Sep 23, 2016 23:13 AM

            I am very jazzed about the new combined company after the merger of Gryphon with Teranga Gold. Now they’ll be diversified over 3 countries, with an active mine, a mine in development, and several more properties to advance to mines in the pipeline. This stock will likely get re-rated once the merger is complete in October.

    Parasite retail short volatility and huckster news letter bulls in full celebration mode. Central bank criminals got yo back, don’t you know.

    Meh, some of us are liquid and patient enough to wait out the outright insanity. Still rolling over cheap OTM options for a violent deflationary crash that will wipe out the masses on credit living well beyond their means.

    Bubble phase con men can piss right the hell off.

    I’m not convinced higher interest rates cause gold to go down. The last rate hike coincided with the bottom in gold…am I wrong? At least close to the time the Fed rate was raised. My memory is failing…

      Sep 22, 2016 22:35 PM

      I’m with you Johnnygeneric. No one wanted to hear it one year ago and no one wants to hear it now but gold would probably do even better if/when rates rise. Sure, there would probably be a brief, knee-jerk drop, but unless it coincides with a cyclical top, I don’t think it would be a big one.

      Rising rates will be bad for U.S. stocks and bonds and, therefore, the U.S. dollar.

        Sep 22, 2016 22:27 PM

        Absolutely right. If people lose confidence in the Fed or in the markets, I think gold will go up no matter what the interest rates are. I can also see a scenario where gold and USD go up together. The people who look at a gold chart in isolation by only looking at gold in USD are often missing the big picture.

    Sep 23, 2016 23:45 AM

    Ditto on “missing the big picture”

      Thanks Pete. I see Alan Barry, and other posters over at CEO talking up Serengeti Resources, and this will give me a bit of info to start reviewing. I’ve never stopped long enough to look into more closely. Much appreciated.

    Some say its too early to buy uranium stocks,but i have started to nibble on some uranium plays in 2016.

    http://www.mining.com/no-end-uranium-price-plunge/

      Sep 23, 2016 23:50 AM

      It probably is still early, but I’ve been swing trading the Uranium stocks since 2014 (so I was really early to the party 🙂 ) I’ve still made some coin trading them, but every time I’ve thought the worst is behind us, the floor keeps getting lower, and then I need to back into the stock and average down on the dip, and sell it back on the rip to continually lower the cost basis.

      The selloff in UUUU due to the recent announcement of the capital raise was disappointing, and caught me off-guard, but I’m holding my nose and buying more.

      Longer term I am not worried at all about the solid Uranium miners, but in the short term, I’ve probably over-allocated to the sector.

      When the new off-take contracts get negotiated 2017, 2018 and beyond, this will cause the spot price to jolt up suddenly (not gradually rise like other commodities). Cameco and Areva already have made it clear they won’t negotiate longer term supply contracts to the utility companies at anywhere close to these prices. Most current producers like Cameco, Energy Fuels, or Ur-Energy have supply contracts in the Mid- $50’s at present, and it is likely that is where spot will need to be adjusted to once these negotiations get underway in the next 2 years. I want to have my positions in place before that, and then sit right and hold tight for the ride. There doesn’t appear to be any rush though….

        Sep 23, 2016 23:06 AM

        With you on that one… keep thinking I’ve got too much of these companies, then they drop by 20-30% and I don’t want to take the loss. So I keep them, and buy more.
        Hopefully it will pay off in a couple of years.

            +1 Pete. I’ve watched reviewed that interview before, and have posted it in one of my Uranium rants a while back, when it was first released.

            It is a good reminder to keep the main thing the main thing.

          Sep 23, 2016 23:26 PM

          Tad – I truly believe when the Uranium bull finally wakes up from its slumber it will be epic.

    Sep 23, 2016 23:24 AM

    Yes,its probably too early,but i remember how it felt at the end of 2014 and the end of 2015,when people where talking about gold breaking the 1000 level and going to 890-980.At the time i could feel the bottom with my toes,lol.
    In Dec 2015 i was only 50% invested in pm/copper etc,because i thougt it would be the usual by the tax loss and sell in Q1,but for some reason i did not sell and kept buying more.
    This time with uranium, i want to be all in on uranium when it takes off.
    Could i time the bottom,probably not,but i will do my very best.
    Thank you,Sir.

    Sep 23, 2016 23:27 AM

    Buy the the tax loss,not by.
