Chris Temple joins me for a discussion on why we are seeing a bounce in US markets but not safe haven assets. Gold and silver are breaking some key support levels. The underlying stocks have been crushed this week but is a bottom near?

    Gold buying by central banks is at a 50-year high, with sovereign gold buyers having added a net 650 tonnes of physical gold to their strategic monetary reserves in each of the years 2018 and 2019.

    Purchased some gold and sillver this afternoon after the carnage.

      I tried to buy a mere 10 oz of platinum at under $800 an oz, and a few tousand oz of silver at a reasonable price….SDBullion, Provident Metals, JMBullion…
      Nothing available at any reasonable price.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:05 PM

        Humm……. swamped, or they just did not want to sell their product today…..
        waiting for higher prices next week…..

          Mar 13, 2020 13:15 PM

          I bought Gold and Silver after the carnage, looked too cheap and the size of the made no real sense to me. We’ll see what happens next week…

    Mar 13, 2020 13:59 PM

    Oh my. GDX down huge into the close. I have never seen anything like this in a single day.

      Mar 13, 2020 13:12 PM

      GDXJ gapped up 19% and then fell as much as 34% from today’s high. Wild stuff.

      Now that the entire vertical move of 2016 has been retraced, we can start all over again.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:13 PM

        I was wondering when GDX and GDXJ were going to get the memo…. as they had remained elevated in comparison to the rest of the gold mining sector.

        Most of the other Junior miners are back down close to their 2016 levels, which is insane considering how much higher Gold is now than it was then, but that is what happens in a panic selloff, where fear trumps fundamentals or technicals.

          Mar 13, 2020 13:30 PM

          One bright note is that it did seem like mid-way through the day, much of the selling started to get exhausted and finally the accumulation and buying began.

          This was the most positive day I’ve had in the portfolio all week, with the first green shoots in the PMs in some time, and with Uranium and Lithium stocks finally rallying out of nowhere.

            Mar 13, 2020 13:37 PM

            Volume wasn’t as great today which is encouraging. The sellers are about finished although we may languish down here for awhile which wouldn’t be all too bad.

            Mar 13, 2020 13:29 PM

            Good point about the volume coming down in many miners selling, because it sure seemed like the selling was drying up in the last 1-2 hours of trading, and a number of Gold and Silver producers and developers actually ended the day in the green.

            Most encouraging was in the after-hours trading (where I often look for bargains) there were few deals to be found as many of the mid-tier producers and larger developers were surging higher in the afterhour sessions. The value-hunters were out and nibbling.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:24 PM

        Today was also when the GDXJ index was rebalanced and here is how it looks. (most of the holding are definitely not “Junior” miners)

    The GDX just gave back a whole year’s worth of gains against the Dow in a single day. Absolutely crazy stuff in metals and US stocks. They just will not let metals or miners win apparently.

      There’s no physical available at anything close to COMEX prices.

      This simply cannot last long.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:59 PM

        Since the US stock market started its crash on February 18, it is up about 35% vs GDX.

        The long 4 year consolidation in GDX has been so worth it for those with perserverance. Not.

      Overall this was the best day of week for me in my trading portfolio and I actually closed up 1.5% today overall, for the first green day of the week.

      Some of that was because the Uranium and Lithium stocks were peppy today.

      I haven’t done the calculations yet on the PM stocks in a spreadsheet by themselves but at first glance I was down around 5% in just the Gold & Silver stocks, and that is better than I was expecting, and a number of them ended in the green today, which was quite refreshing for a change. It seems like value hunters came in mid day and started buying into the close in many stocks.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:25 PM

        It also appears that a number of the Gold developers and the Royalty companies got a positive bid later in the day, so that was nice to see.

    All of the progress the metals and miners made over the last year have been pretty much wiped out in 3 weeks.

    Gold is almost surely next up on the chopping block, and silver is almost guaranteed to make a new multiyear low within the next 2 months, if not a lot sooner.

      Mar 13, 2020 13:28 PM

      Gerald – the last 3 weeks wiped out a lot more than the last year’s gains in many stocks.

      There are plenty of stocks that had the last 4 years gains wiped out in the last 3 weeks.

      That’s been my point the whole time… this has been the most extreme selling in the miners that I can remember – way worse than 2013 or 2015, and more like 2008.

        Mar 13, 2020 13:02 PM

        And somehow I dont think its over. More red to come in PMs.

          Mar 13, 2020 13:06 PM

          It’s quite probable Ozibatla, but there were some gold producers and developers that actually turned their ship around towards the middle of the day and rebounded into the close to turn green. Also there were a number of stocks up in after-hours trading, because I was looking to get in a few that were surging higher.

          After a terrible 3 weeks, the PM stocks are at least due for a small relief rally before the next round of pain. 🙂

    Silvers price plunge has left me depressed! It fell out of bed, fell through the bedroom floor and straight into its grave pit. Poor old silvers got some climbing to do. I nearly s*it myself when I saw the price plunge. Lucky it wasnt literally as I cant even buy any toilet paper or tissues, or hand towels.

      Mar 13, 2020 13:18 PM

      Great point about Silver crapping the bed….. and we should have all gone long on toilet paper instead, but now it is sold out (just like the 2020 Silver eagles).

      This may be a good time for us to reintroduce our KER brand of Precious Metals Depends.

      Mar 13, 2020 13:24 PM

      I’ve got plenty of toilet paper, it’s my biggest position now that my silver is worthless. On a serious note, I looked to buy some gold Britannias today and the premium had doubled which shows there must be quite a lot of buying interest or the dealers don’t think the price will fall further

        Mar 13, 2020 13:26 PM

        Good point Nigel. While the falling Silver price is bad for our miners and morale, it is exactly what gets Silver stackers excited about buying the bullion.

Gold as safety in crises is a bloody fallacy. There’s a time when to hold and a time to fold’em. I added to my REITs cause I dunno where you can pickup Realestate at 30% OFF in a week!!!

      You’re a strange one, Bill. You hate the miners for the same reason I love them: volatility.
      If you don’t know what to do with it, don’t play. It will never change so why do you keep coming back? We both know why; you’re drawn to a quick buck just like anyone else. Just remember that it will never get easier for you.

      I was a buyer today and yesterday but something tells me you won’t get interested again until your FOMO kicks in near the next top. Oh well, at least you’ll have some write-offs. Again.

      Gold ……..2020…….$1550-1706…..

      Long term gold has returned 8-9% year over year……..do the math.
      BTW………not advocating putting all eggs in one basket…..diversification
      Just saying and not for confrontational discussion………just stating facts….

        Bingo OOTB!

        A solid point on gold’s performance versus real estate over time, and on being diversified.

        Mar 14, 2020 14:45 PM

        Correct. Gold has about an 8% average annual rate of return since 1971.

          Mar 14, 2020 14:20 PM

          Someone , said the other day…….
          if was 4400%….over 49 yrs…..so…. you get 8.9%
          A couple of years ago……..it was 9.2%………
          When it blows past $1900 again……should be a lot different, but,
          Year over year…….it will keep steady with inflation…..

            Mar 14, 2020 14:14 PM

            It is around 8% for the last 49 years based on several calculators I used like the one below.

            http://www.moneychimp.com/calculator/discount_rate_calculator.htm

            Present Value: 35
            Future Value: 1500
            Years: 49
            Compound Annual Growth Rate: 7.97%

            Mar 14, 2020 14:18 PM

            Another calculator with same results. 7.97% annual return

            “Year over year…….it will keep steady with inflation”.

            In some time frames that is true and in some time frames gold even beat inflation but in other time frames gold lost a good deal of it’s purchasing power. For example from 1980-2020, which is 40 years, gold lost about 40% of its’ purchasing power. 1 ounce of Gold would need to get to almost $2700 today just to buy the same amount of goods and services as it could back in 1980 when gold was at $850.

            Mar 14, 2020 14:23 PM

            JM……..those are some valid points……….
            Buying anything can lose it’s value from time to time…..
            Your point is well taken……..and that is exactly why gold should be $2700 today.
            Looking at the US DEBT Clock…..it should be $8850 ….based on the paper .

            Mar 14, 2020 14:02 PM

            That’s right Jerry. It’s better to look at some kind of average rather than brief spikes up or down. The absolute high in 2011 was 1923 for gold but the average monthly close that year was 1575. In 2001, the average monthly close was 273. So, being conservative, gold still went up 5.77 times in a decade. That means that the dollar fell over 80%.

            Mar 14, 2020 14:14 PM

            Thanks for the back up Matthew……

    The biggest risk to REITs is when interest rates rise, which reduces demand for REITs. In a rising-rate environment, investors typically opt for safer income plays, such as U.S. Treasuries. Treasuries are government-guaranteed, and most pay a fixed rate of interest.F
    Eventually…………rates are going to rises……….just saying…….
    And you would have to agree…….some day rates are going to rise…….
    Returns on bonds…..at negative rates………like duh……
    Look ahead, ……..real estate is eventually, going to crash…..it, has before and will again…ride it while you can………
    This is by no way a slam on your investment….
    I also, like dividends……

      Mar 14, 2020 14:06 AM

      also, enjoyed you being here, but, please , this is not a pissing contest, nor a he man contest, …….and we all like to be right sometimes…….makes us feel good, but, it really does not matter in the long run……Man’s ego, and the top of the pyramid , …everyone here will never be………..We are all sheep to the slaughter,….just dragging our feet till the end ………No one here hates you making a good investment, ….we all encourage everyone in different investment angles……NO ONE IS RIGHT ALL THE TIME,….
      You will know that as you get older, and lick some of your wounds….THE OLD FAT…OOTB

        Mar 14, 2020 14:10 AM

        Btw…….Glad you enjoyed your trip to the desert …….

          Mar 14, 2020 14:35 AM

          Sorry……..FAT…..to FART………….since I do not have a weight problem….. 🙂

            Mar 14, 2020 14:00 PM

            …just as long as it wasn’t a Fat Fart…. 😮

      Mar 14, 2020 14:08 AM

      I think so OOTB!!!…rates will rise but that’s a ways out. And Mathew who said I hate miners just because most are not sustainable business over the long haul..Tons fail over the decades. BUT I will be buying soon as a signal comes in. Most have performed very poorly. One could just buy the DOUBLE BULLION ETF and be assured of a return….I called this disaster and thats a FACT…if you want to ride the collapses down be my guest…NO bloody thanks. Im not a gold stock burger flipper..heading for the boarder hope we get back to Canada LOL…Best to all

        Mar 14, 2020 14:18 AM

        Bill…….I have stated years ago……..I do not own one share of mining stocks..YET, but, I am not a stock trader….just not my style….Not trying to say I am smart, just have a hard time with deciding WHO is not a con man in the mining sector…..
        Phyz…….in safe places…..I know the game on the phyz…….or at least I think I do…
        As long as there is a FAKE FED…….gold is going up……..based on history….

          Mar 14, 2020 14:25 AM

          Dang Bill, …….You hate gold bugs………humm……..maybe we can change the name to
          Goldfarts. or Gold Fake Fed Farts………………..lol

            Mar 14, 2020 14:31 AM

            Being a Gold bug…………is in my opinion……..a Say NO to a FAKE FRAUD DEBT SYSTEM of debt slavery………….Do you know anything about clipping of coins in Roman times…
            Do you know anything about interest rates. and usury…..Do you know anything about the Act of 1913, income tax for the benefit of money changers……..
            Bill……..do yourself a favor………and get some history books……..
            Fiat currency NEVER LAST ………..for any civilization ……
            Gold always last……….think why are the banks now accumulating gold…….THINK Pooh.

            Mar 14, 2020 14:37 AM

            When gold goes to ZERO……..then I will say ,……hummm BILL WAS RIGHT…..
            Or maybe THE BILL OF RIGHTS, …..might give some a further clue, what is being taken from every Sheepl in the USA…………Damn…….this is getting OLD…..

          Mar 14, 2020 14:26 AM

          OOTB – You could always buy one or even a basket of the Gold royalty companies like Franco Nevada, Royal Gold, Wheaton Precious Metals, Sandstorm, Osisko Gold Royalites, Maverix Metals, Metalla Royalty, EMX Royalty, etc…

          That way you get exposure to the gold production, without the crazy mining risks, and they are diversified over hundreds of royalties instead of just 1 project, but they give you leverage to the metal price increases. Just a thought on how to have a gold stock with leverage, but much less risk.

            Mar 14, 2020 14:39 AM

            Ex………you are spot on…….and I respect your hard work…….
            and have said that many times…..Notice in my post……I said “YET”, to BIll’s comment..
            That means I am all ears….going forward……As I am with the timing,….

            Mar 14, 2020 14:52 PM

            Thank you sir.

            Best of luck to you OOTB in your investments whatever path you decide down the road.

            Mar 14, 2020 14:12 PM

            EX…….I am not going anywhere yet…………
            Gold first, silver second……pm stocks third…….it is all in the timing…
            You and Matt…..have the handle on the pm stocks….as I said , I am all ears.
            Best to you also……..Have a great week end……..

      Mar 14, 2020 14:20 AM

      Matthew can you show me where I said I hate miners? I said I cant stand gold bugs….JDST went up 300% last week….hello! I still own BBB and few other small caps…bigs got CRUSHED

        Mar 14, 2020 14:41 AM

        It has been clear for years that you hate the miners and the volatility is the reason. That’s why you hate gold bugs and not fraud bugs (those who think fiat currencies are fine) or know-nothing bugs (those who dominate every sector).
        In ANY sector, most people are wrong most of the time but it only brings out your hatred in this one. You’re completely irrational and it’s funny that your kind doesn’t grasp that the stock market (as measured by the NYSE Comp Index) is still down 73% in real terms since 2000.
        You have to be a special kind of sheep to knock gold as a safe haven.
        Compare this:

            Mar 15, 2020 15:47 AM

            LOL
            a miner = a hole in the ground with a liar on top…any clue why they made that up?? The mining industry is a MINE FIELD. Thats a BLOODY FACT. I watched many revers splits and many go under the last bear market. You are a pure speculator. Hell my gold short was up 300% in a week and that some how pisses you off?? You obviously are pretty dam good but I can walk away from my stupid computer for a month…you know travel sit on a beach where there’s no comm to herass me..
            You haven’t a clue. I retired 2 people easily 15 years before anyone I know people and one never worked….I can do anything I like even in a meltdown. I don’t need man any pumps. My RE of 30 years made me wealthy. My rents go up every year and I doubled my money a very big project in the last 3 years…I don’t care to live and breath this crap like you. BUT I will be buying some of this crap soon for shits and giggles. YOU are to dam serious man…And thank you for you input as I do value it.

            Mar 15, 2020 15:30 AM

            Bill, your 300% gain doesn’t come close to pissing me off and you can have the beaches and travel, I’ve had my fill of both and neither interests me in the least anymore. I do what I do by choice.
            Your rants make it appear that you are the one that’s pissed off and too serious. If you’re not, I’ll take your word for it.

          Mar 14, 2020 14:47 AM

          It should have occurred to you that gold might finally be taking a well-earned break because the downside in stocks is ending for awhile. There is no reason at all that a safe haven shouldn’t weaken as the threat weakens (even if if both are just temporary).

    Mar 15, 2020 15:51 AM
      Mar 15, 2020 15:20 PM

      Well…….Bill………we are working on the cup and handle…….been working on that for some time as some of us have mentioned………..
      Looks like right now……gold shooting up…..$41……as I type……
      Interest rates are now “ZERO”……
      Will be interesting Monday….to see what happens as the USA, tries to lock down everything.

        Mar 15, 2020 15:23 PM

        BTW……..thanks for the podcast……

          Mar 15, 2020 15:28 PM

          Poof……….bye, bye……………

    Mar 15, 2020 15:05 PM

    For most of my assets I do prefer the Warn Buffet approach….buy great assets with good cash flow….It works.
    My tenants include the biggest telecom firm in the country, Large heat-pump specialist, largest security firm around. Its hard word to put this stuff together but well worth it in the long haul…These guys highly unlikely are going out of business…
    Gold stocks are great to speculate…
    Fill your boot with what you want to do….

      Mar 15, 2020 15:33 PM

      If, they are so large………why do they need you……..hummm
      I have been around this block before……….just saying…..
      The bigger they are , the harder they fall……..

        Always….wishing you the best……..stay safe…..

          Mar 16, 2020 16:42 AM

          Silver at $12.11………..Bill, what is your guru’s name………market is getting tanked, …but,…Long term not sure it makes any difference ……
          But, I do still like gold even at these prices………….
          POOF……….

            Mar 16, 2020 16:40 AM

            Just driving across the boarder heading for a ferry…I listen to a few. Morgan had a good view on Campbell…Trend Letter guys are dam good! and then I just put it all together. Yes Cash is king and I said that 2 weeks ago…catching falling knives is not my game. Need stabilization. Best!

            Mar 16, 2020 16:57 AM

            Ditto on the stabilization …………Thanks for the reply…..travel safe….best to you..

    Mar 15, 2020 15:46 PM

    My Guys said…We’ve repeatedly warned that it is not a given that precious metals are a “safety asset” in times of trouble. Sometimes, such as this time, it’s quite the opposite.
    POOF
