Rick feels that Big Al’s enthusiasm concerning U.S. equities expressed yesterday during our Market Close has yet to be proven.

    Rick, I love the “fart cushion” sounds…..adds a nice comedic vibe to the podcast;)

    Feb 10, 2017 10:33 AM

    Slv is on fire. Gold is finishing up the correction and headed up. Bought more GDX today at 24.74 in the premarket.

      Feb 10, 2017 10:35 AM

      I had a 1225 bottom target but it came a bit lower than that. We could head to the 1275 area next if it can clear 1250.

      Feb 10, 2017 10:56 AM

      i bought GDX at the close yesterday @ $24.91. Nice job on getting in @ $24.74. It’s performing nicely this morning. See how it does towards the close later.

    IPT is telling us the move in silver is for real:

      Feb 10, 2017 10:01 AM

      Thanks for the chart……….I take it you’re still a fan of Impact.

        Feb 10, 2017 10:18 AM

        Yes, it remains one of my favorites and is currently one of my largest positions.

        It is up 50% in 6 weeks and is just getting started…

          Like silver (and gold), IPT had a right-translated intermediate term cycle last year. I expect the same this year but they will most likely be even more right-translated.

          SLV weekly:

            Matthew, Doc, Rick, et al, Is it time to buy CDE after it’s collapse yesterday? It got down to 9.20 today but is back up to 9.65 I am tempted to buy as I don’t own it.

            Feb 10, 2017 10:09 PM

            I’m not interested in it but if silver holds up, it might have bottomed already. It fell right to a fork support and briefly went through it the next day. You could use that support line as a mental sell-stop. Just sell on a single daily close below it (not advice, just an honest opinion):

            http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=CDE&p=D&yr=0&mn=9&dy=13&id=p73763357285&a=505652961

            Feb 10, 2017 10:07 PM

            Thanks, Matthew. I bought some CDE@9.53 today. (See what I said in Doc’s section today).
            I have not placed a sell stop yet, but thanks much for the idea.

          Feb 10, 2017 10:29 AM

          The greatness of the last 6 weeks is a little less stealthy now…

            Matthew – You just posted so many great charts, that when a buddy of mine was commenting on the strength of (IPT) today, I shared them with him in the IPT room and Silver room. Just wanted you to know your hard work is appreciated by many.

            Feb 10, 2017 10:43 AM

            I gave all the credit to you of course 😉

            They just seemed helpful to all Silver investors. Here’s the link to the Impact Silver room:

            Excelsior,absolutely agree re: Matthew

            Matthews “hard work is appreciated by many.”

            BTW,thanks for your posts from CEO.CA,now i´m worried about Selling my SBB 🙂

            And thanks for the Wellgreen post,speaking of weak,what do you think about Anfield Gold(not much news lately)
            (both sitting on support ?

            Feb 10, 2017 10:26 PM

            Thanks Pete.

            Yes, I had made a few good trades in Sabina, but had completely sold out of it. However, I bought back in yesterday, after that ceo panel, just in case the permit news breaks in the next few months, and if they do get that permit to go ahead with the mine, then they’ll be prime takeover candidates.

            Yes, with Wellgreen, I feel like there is a perception problem with their deposit, because most geos that discuss it are biased with how the project was drilled and understood in the past as only a base metals project. They have not kept up with the new drilling, resource interpretations, or the PGM/Precious metals components of the property that are worth substantially more now than a few decades ago. Also, I believe things will change with Diane Garrett at the helm. She is a bulldog and makes things happen, and was responsible for the Romarco sale to OceanaGold last year. Wellgreen has been weak to asleep, but as the PGM prices continue to play catch up to Gold, along with the Nickel issues in the Philippine mine closures, then they should have a double whammy in catalysts. Having the Copper never hurts either 😉

            As for Anfield Gold, I don’t really follow it so can’t be of any help there. Recently I have been nibbling at Anfield Resources (the Uranium Developer), but those are apples an oranges. (ha!).

            Feb 10, 2017 10:29 PM

            Thanks,Excelsior,(i meant worried about that i sold my SBB),i will buy some just in case they get the permits,and i like the deposit,

            I hold some ARY 🙂

      Feb 10, 2017 10:06 AM

      +1 – Been enjoying this move in Impact Silver and the vast majority of the Silver stocks lately.

        Feb 10, 2017 10:22 AM

        Ex, why do you suppose TAHO HAS SO UNDERPERFORMED. I OWN IT SINCE $6.55 with a 3.88 yield

          Feb 10, 2017 10:44 AM

          Correction: a 3.66% yield

          Feb 10, 2017 10:13 PM

          It’s a behemoth of a company, and has under-performed most of the Silver stocks. This has been my point with positioning in the smaller producers, developers, and advanced explorers for more upside torque. Also, acquiring a Gold company honked off some of the investors that wanted Taho for the Silver exposure.

          I have all the respect in the world for Tahoe Resources and they are one of the top 10 for a reason, but this doesn’t always equate to outperformance. It’s the same thing with Fresnillo or most of the other Majors in the Silver space (or the Major Gold miners for that matter). If the markets were rational then TAHO would be surging right now as their economics have greatly improved.

        Feb 10, 2017 10:03 AM

        Ex:
        I 2nd your comments above about Matthew’s chart postings. Each of you are very generous with your knowledge and time. Quite the teachers………and I mean that in the most positive sense. You two make this page worth opening on a daily basis………Best to both of you!

          Much appreciated Silverdollar. Right back atcha man.

      glad I rebought my final ITP position yesterday!!!

    Feb 10, 2017 10:00 AM

    Silver stock CDE up nicely this morning Plus 2.26%.

    Feb 10, 2017 10:01 AM

    Copper/Gold stock FCX up over 4% right now with a volume over 30 million shares traded. That’s a bunch.

    (IB) (IAALF) IBC Advanced alloys is an interesting little #Copper #Beryllium #Aluminum #Nickel alloy’s processor and manufacturer servicing the defense (they make parts for the F-35) , aerospace, automotive, and electronics markets.

    They have recently teamed up with Mark Smith’s company (NB) (NIOBF) NioCorp to work with them on #Scandium projects. For those that remember, Mark was the past CEO of Molycorp back in the day, and also heads up the #Vanadium company (LGO) (LGORF) Largo Resources.

    They’ve sold off hard over the last few years, because they were incorrectly branded with Rare Earth companies just because they worked with Specialty Metals . I’ve been following them for a long time and they finally look ready for a re-rating, as they’ve switched around their management team, focus, customer base, and are primed to be cash flow positive in 2017.

    IBC Advanced Alloys #CorporatePresentation :

      Feb 10, 2017 10:36 PM

      Shad :
      Good comments regarding IBC. I really thought scandium would take off,but it just hasn’t happened yet.
      I been watching my favorite once bit,twice shy company,Golden Predator in zoom mode and I was trying to put together the area players. So far the only one I can come up with is ABN.V.
      Do you have any maps or further info on the companies next to GPY?

        Feb 10, 2017 10:34 PM

        Thanks JohnK. Is your Scandium exposure through (SCY) Scandium International (John Kaiser’s pick)? Do you follow (NB) NioCorp? What I like about the (IB) IBC Advanced alloys partnership, is that the issue in manufacturing has always been a consistent supply. NioCorp will supply the material, and IBC Advanced alloys are the masters as processing and making usable alloys for machine parts and manufacturing and they have a nice roster of downstream customers. Mark Smith is a curious guy (hated by some for what happened to Molycorp), but along with his interest in NioCorp, and now being on the board for IBC, he also has the Vanadium company Largo Resources. I wonder if the master plan is to consolidate all 3 into a premier Specialty Metals company?

        As for Golden Predator land packages, it seems I saw maps recently but can’t remember where. Let me get out my deck of playing cards so I can keep track of all their Aces, Clubs, Diamonds, and Spades…..

    Feb 10, 2017 10:18 AM

    Thanks for the heads up on that one, Excelsior. It’s certainly one to keep an eye on. Looks at or close to bottom.

      Feb 10, 2017 10:26 AM

      Yep, it’s bottom dwelling, but they have a number of new alliances (like Lockheed Martin, ThyssenKrupp, Honeywell Electronics, and the European Space Agency), in addition to the new Scandium partnership with Mark Smith and NioCorp.

      They are just flying way under the radar at present, but when investors wake up to all the things they are doing, that is going to change. I had orphaned money in it from years ago, and have been averaging down over the last few weeks, to prepare for a new chapter with (IB).

    Feb 10, 2017 10:30 AM

    The rare earth sector here in N America is about to boom. We can’t afford to have China control the market of raw materials for our new technologies and defense assets. IB fits right into that wheelhouse.

      Feb 10, 2017 10:13 PM

      Agreed. I’ve noticed some movement in some of the other rare earth companies lately like Arafura, Pele Mountain, Ucore Rare Metals, Greenland Minerals, and even good ole’ Lynas. There are other specialty metals like Scandium, Vanadium, Tungsten, Cobalt, Niobium, etc… that are attracting attention as well.

      My favorite Specialty Metals play is still Alkane Resources, because they are funding the development of their Zirconium project with the money from their Producing Gold mine. I’m not aware of any other company that is funding the development of their niche mine, by using the power of producing gold. There are few other explorers with no focus at all that have proposed the idea, but they are the only company I know of that is executing the strategy.

      _______________________________________________________________________

      Alkane Resources Limited is involved in mineral exploration and evaluation, development and extraction. It operates through two segments: gold operations and rare metals. Its Dubbo Zirconia Project is based on a resource of zirconium, hafnium, niobium, tantalum, yttrium and rare earth elements, located at Toongi, approximately 30 kilometers south of the regional center of Duddo.

    Al, is the response line compromised?

    Feb 10, 2017 10:54 AM

    XOP just won’t fly with oil up so much. It is at 40.30 now. It was near the 43 area the last time oil was this high. It should head to the 41.50 to 42 area and correct a bit.

    Feb 10, 2017 10:55 AM

    I see, it’s OK now

    Feb 10, 2017 10:44 PM

    Matthew,
    If you have the time,it would be great to get your technical opinion/analysis on Anfield Gold ANF.V

    Feb 10, 2017 10:49 PM

    I like Wellgreen Platinum but I won’t touch until it starts to show a lot more volume, I am pretty much out of the small cap sector that Matthew is in tune with. I also don’t like diversification in stocks, because if you know what you are trading, it will hold you back. Stocks are for trading and are very predatory by nature. In fact the kinds of stocks I like these days are mid camp companies that trade on both the TSX and The NYSE. Primero will be a favorite of mine in the future as will NGD, both have the correct double listings and when they start to really move I will be there, but for now I am happy with NAK/NDM.

    Feb 10, 2017 10:01 PM

    Where does everyone think gold and silver will be, come December 31st? Perhaps a ballpark figure, for the sake of the said question? My educated guess (as Im certainly no expert): gold between 1350 and 1400. Silver between 22 and 23
