“Today is the most significant day for the markets in a while”

Cory
March 21, 2017

This morning with Rick Ackerman we look at the selloff in the US equity markets. The markets have been slowly rolling over and although it can be very hard to short this bull market that is now in it’s 9th year Rick has some tactics to be protected. We also get his updated targets for gold which the recent rally has Rick a bit more bullish.

    Wish I could remember who it was that was guessing dow 30k .
    Not that it matters I guess.

    Doc figures gold down, kwn James Turk says silver $50.
    Mr Turks chart shows a cup and handle he figures is significant.

    1277 from 1200 is kinda up and away.

      a couple of years ago…..C A Fitts…..said the market would crash UP, …she was correct, that the market did go Up, from 10k dow, The market should have rolled over then. I have also read someone calling for 30-40K dow, I can not remember who said that either.

    Gold has stalled at fork resistance in the 1244 area (chart will update to show today’s action this evening):

      Nice chart. I love the grey down-trending fork. Worked out well. I noticed that the $1120 low of Dec 2016 was at the intersection of three of your forks and also meets my big fork, so 4 forks met there. Wow.

      Mar 21, 2017 21:40 PM

      I also had your up-trending fork that started in Dec 2015. There was fascinating action on the lower line of that fork in that month. I see gold is just poking slightly back in to that fork at $1246.50 when you took the picture.

      Mar 21, 2017 21:31 PM

      I don’t watch the fork resistance very closely but that is a nice bounce off the bottom. Thanks for sharing Matthew!

        Mar 22, 2017 22:52 AM

        I liked that December low, too. Notice that it happened where three forks intersect (at the bottom of two and top of one).

        Now let’s see if price can stay above the fork resistance (now support) that it got through yesterday.

      Bezo……might be some push back to his model….since it is known to everyone now that all merchandise , conversation are being tracked by big brother. Big sister says, she is not going to let big brother be in charge of her wardrobe……….

    GLD has been capped by the 600 day EMA but probably not for long:

    If $gold does get to ricks first target at $1256, it is going to put some pressure on bears/wanna be longs for sure.

    A move to $1277, his second target, would be amazing and would be a signal that the bear is really dead, IMO.

    Thank goodness for the pullback in general markets as I FINALLY got my escape hatch today on (UVXY). Now I can finally redeploy some funds into other stocks I’ve been watching.

    I was able to trim back the position substantially, but did leave a micro-position in place at a much lower cost basis just in case we get some real follow through in volatility as the week progresses. I plan on selling this remaining portion this week though.

      Mar 21, 2017 21:19 AM

      It’s actually been a busy day in the markets for me as I re-balanced a number of positions in my portfolio today. It’s been a nice relief rally in a number of stocks that allowed me to lighten up a little and average down in a number of other positions and get everything in much better overall distribution. It’s been a good day after all.

        Mar 21, 2017 21:35 PM

        Good to hear Excelsior. It’s a good feeling to be able to reallocate! Especially when these stocks are starting move up but have yet to take off…

    Riverside, Centerra trench 105m of 0.492g/t Au at Glor

    2017-03-21 09:23 ET – News Release

    Dr. John-Mark Staude reports

    RIVERSIDE ANNOUNCES TRENCHING RESULTS FROM PARTNER-FUNDED PROGRAM AT THE GLOR GOLD PROJECT

    Riverside Resources Inc. is providing an update on the progress of partner-financed exploration being conducted with Centerra Gold Inc. at the Glor gold project, located approximately eight kilometres west of Alamos Gold Inc.’s El Chanate mine in Sonora, Mexico. The 2017 exploration campaign commenced at the end of January with a program of mechanical trenching that is still continuing. Thirteen trenches with a combined length of 2,026.2 metres have now been excavated by a heavy-duty excavator. This work was completed in the northeastern portion of the project and focused on the Pitaya and Alamo-La Joya targets. The trenching work builds on the 2016 soil geochemistry survey and rock-chip sampling of bedrock outcrops, which identified a number of gold anomalies (see Riverside’s press release dated Feb. 15, 2016).

    Added a bit more (LEU) and (LTBR) as they are more focused on the downstream #Nuclear fuel side of the equation and less concerned about mining #Uranium at current spot prices.

    Here’s a good article a buddy sent me:

    The Dow now @ 20720 is back to where is was on February 21. Nice sell off. GDX has been performing better.

    Looking at selling my Inverse Russell 2000 2x ETF symbol TWM and then buy the Russell 2000 2x long ETF symbol UWM since it’s down around 4%. Last time it was this low was Feb. 2.

    Mar 21, 2017 21:48 PM

    not going to get too excited. Just more churn in the miners, but at least we haven’t gone straight down.

    So many people are watching the longterm downtrend line in gold that basically corresponds to the declining 50 month MA, coming in around $1253 now. If we can ever manage to blow through that level, we should be in good shape. Until then, just more twists and turns.

      Mar 21, 2017 21:40 PM

      Good points spanky. Also consider the 200 day MA is just above that level at 1,262… The thing I don;t like about the 50 month MA is how quickly it is moving down. From what I have learned is that a MA that is moving up (if even slowly) is much more bullish. First thing first though breaking the 50 month and staying above it so that it will bottom out eventually. Then the market will really be set up to run.

      Thanks for the comment.

    Mar 21, 2017 21:54 PM

    I have been waiting for a good downturn. I have been in all cash for many days.

      Mar 21, 2017 21:40 PM

      Hey Paul, are you talking about US markets or PMs?

        Mar 22, 2017 22:09 AM

        The US markets. I try to stay away from PM’s as much as possible.

    Mar 21, 2017 21:55 PM

    AG and EXK acting pretty pathetically into the close.

    Mar 21, 2017 21:59 PM

    Most of the precious metals up on my screen with the exception of FCX. It’s always
    down where others are up it seems. I don’t own it.
