The opportunities in precious metals and base metals
It’s another good day to be a precious metals investor as both silver and gold are moving higher. More importantly silver is leading the way! David Erfle, Founder of The Junior Miner Junky joins me to outline what he is looking for in precious metals stocks. When precious metals move higher a lot of the other commodities are forgotten. We also dive in the base metals and opportunities Dave is waiting for.

Silver up to $18.15 (finally crossing the $18 psychological barrier) and most stocks rocketed higher.
Where are these Silver miners going to head if Silver catches up with the run that Gold has been on, makes a move to take out the 2016 high over $21+ ?
Lots of room for Silver to run higher, but the multiples experienced in the miners will be breathtaking.
Just like each of these runs, it is sad that so many investors at $14-$15 Silver were ready to throw in the towel, expecting $12-11-10-9….. It was discussed on here sooooo many times that Silver would eventually track with the moves higher in Gold, and that Gold was still in it’s bull market that started after the Dec 2015 low.
Now that Gold has moved from $1045 up to $1552 (up $507 off the bottom), I wonder if all those waiting around and dithering on the sidelines about whether Gold is still in a bear market have gotten the signal (after Gold just took out another 4 key resistance prior peaks in this most recent leg higher) that the PM bull market is for real?
As more generalist investors have that light bulb go off (hundreds of dollars in Gold gains too late), they still have a chance to make up for it if they’ll simply realize that all the noise about Silver being an industrial metal has been over-enforced, and the reality that it is a Precious Metal and Monetary Metal is still in play.
Gold already took out it’s 2016 high of $1377.50 in the last few months and blasted right past it. What are the odds that as Silver plays catch up that it eventually blasts past it’s 2016 high over $21 and keeps on trucking?
Ever Upward!
Nice summary…….as always………
Last night’s moves were interesting, judging from the charts…….jmo
Thanks OOTB.
IPT has been in consolidation mode for the last month but now looks ready to move higher:
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=IPT.V&p=W&yr=4&mn=0&dy=9&id=p18622325417&a=676382921
(IPT) was up 6.74% today….. Looking good!
KTN fared better at +13% (92.59% for the month so far):
https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=KTN.V&p=D&yr=1&mn=0&dy=9&id=p65181748388&a=684730971
+13. Yes, there seems to be more people following it now that Eric Sprott took out a stake, and their ounces in the ground are getting more valuable as the metals keep climbing.
Where will KTN be at $21 Silver? Fun times!
It will be official at $22………then you can invite Spanky back……. 🙂
Well let’s just let sleeping dog lie….
(BBB) Brixton Metals Commences Drilling at its Thorn Project, Provides Exploration Update on its Atlin Goldfields Project and Grants Incentive Options

U.S. Bullion banks are experiencing a severe short squeeze.
This has been partly due to London’s inability to cover obligations shifted over to them.
The primary reason in London having a problem, other than the obvious shortage of metal is the effect of low interest rates.
As the forward rate for Gold and the U.S. Dollar equalized, major investors started
buying gold futures AND taking the metal as the futures matured.
Similarly in silver which is only available in metal ozs (as opposed to value) at about eight times the available weight in gold.
With a value ratio Au:Ag of 80 and a available weight ratio of Ag:Au about 8, clearly as soon as demand increased significantly price had to explode.
Meanwhile the attempt of media to distract the attention of the City away from precious metals totally failed.

Today was closing day for silver on the COMEX, so, alas, similar gains should not continue tomorrow, but it was an exciting short squeeze today.
London gold has a closing day on Friday, so that may not see its usually drop.
The amount of gold being transferred to Switzerland, presumably for re-casting and export to China is at an all time high.
oops….. usually > usual.
It is what you don’t know you don’t know that is always the ultimate problem…..
Only a fool predicts a price and a date, so here’s the next date for a significant jump in Silver price….November 25.
The dates for gold jumping might be August 30th (smaller jump) and October 28th (Big jump).
I am told Switzerland is moving Gold to the LBMA in large quantities as well as to China.
It is always wise to watch what the Swiss are doing.
Global bankers and Gold refiners extraordinaire.
Here is yet another Aussie Gold mining takeover….
Echo Resources’ board welcomes Northern Star’s takeover offer

When This Big Bull Market is dead, not billions but Trillions worth of profits, and paper profits will disappear. China will experience a political change as they try to keep their people fed and employed. They might think they have a longer timeframe in which to negotiate a trade deal but that will be over with a crash. New people will be called on to lead the World out of Depression, the old leaders will be blamed for lack of foresight and rightly so. DT
So then, here comes 666
$LODE – Comstock Mining:
“We will receive over 4 million in cash between now and the closing and receive another 4 million in cash in the next nine months, following the closing, plus we’re still being reimbursed as of June 1 at a rate of over $2 million per annum.”
“Now our market clearly doesn’t reflect any of this because people just don’t seem to believe it’s going to close. I’ve taken the position that focusing on closing it is the most important value that we can create and deliver with high certainty… because our values are too low and the deal is just too close to being closed.”
Gold Stocks Investing: Fed Rate Cuts, China Trade War Have Investors Going For Gold
Jed Graham – Investor’s Business Daily
“The gold price surged past $1,550 to a new six-year high early on Aug. 26, days after Trump and China exchanged more fire — and higher tariffs.”
“In the near term, the gold price may mirror the course of the China trade war, rising as it intensifies and backing off if cooler heads prevail. That’s because an escalation of trade conflict has darkened the outlook for the global economy and put aggressive Fed easing back in play. The slide in China’s yuan to a decade low vs. the dollar has provoked worries about countries engaging in competitive devaluation. If countries including the U.S. want a weaker currency, gold stands to be a winner.”

Nice interview, always good to look ahead. In the end we need to convert some of our gains , when they occur, in the future.
Agreed. My plan is to ride up the bull with the miners, but keep rotating more of the gains over into the royalty companies (with a more slow and steady gains business strategy, not as dependent on metals prices).
During the front-end of tax-loss selling in November I’ll likely put some of the PM gains into beat up Uranium & Lithium stocks.
Eventually when the commodity cycle plays through the deep gains will be stored in real estate.
Cheers!
…. and a yacht 🙂
Yeah. Maybe a yacht too. Haha!
That is exactly what I want to do, convert profits into real estate. I think I’ll buy apartments pure for leisure goals to rent. That takes away the obligation to permanently rent where it’s more difficult to sell a property again in the market.
