Full Weekend Show

There is no doubt we are in the middle of slow summer trading. However we are seeing some trends in bonds, select US markets sectors, and commodities that need to be watched as we progress through summer. I feature a wide range of generalist guests on this weekend’s show to help us understand where the markets and money flows could go after summer.

Please keep in touch by emailing me at Fleck@kereport.com. Be sure to listen to all the Daily Editorials and Company Interviews I recorded throughout the week. I hope you all have a great weekend!

    Looking for gold to recover to new highs, maybe 2100/2200 by end 2022, then another correction.
    That correction could be start of bear mkt if inflation is not consistent or stock mkt entering ressession, not crash but slow mkt turning down with lower highs and lower lows. Won’t get big bailout this time because damage Biden will have done with his blowing up national debt and killing if jobs, energy etc from free, free, free socialist spending.
    He will be known as worst president in US history and that will be his legacy.
    Just hope the Republicans can win back house and control polosi and squad which may have help ruin our economy not to mention put China well on its way to be number one economy in world.
    Hope weak Biden foreign policies don’t let China take over Taiwan and Russia continue rolling into Ukraine.
    This party will have every American standard of living and freedoms lost.
    Never seen in my 60 years of my lifetime our politicians on both sides so corrupt along with our big American companies not putting America first. Greed, money and power will be our Downfall.
    Wake up America.

      $280 million for an billion dollar asset is cheap

      Last financing in February was above the price that Ganfeng offers

    Jul 17, 2021 17:27 AM

    Gary Savage just said $50 silver is a piece of cake, if not this year than in 2022 for sure.
    And then he thinks it will go to 200 or much higher. $400 silver would not surprise me.

      Jul 17, 2021 17:19 AM

      It was supposed to be $50 in 2 months—-looks like that’s not going to happen. Forget about this year for the PMs—-if the conventional market is about to head for a downturn the PM market won’t buck the trend. The next few weeks could be a tear jerker.

        Jul 17, 2021 17:54 AM

        The world believes conventional are going down and the longer the world thinks that the longer it will take before that correction comes. If you look at a monthly chart of the dow Jones it tends to rally for 2 years plus before a top and then downward path. If you take a look at the current setup we are about 1.75 years on a rally of the most recent March 2020 bottom. I think this rally as I mentioned over two months ago can proceed Into 2022spring before correcting or even longer. I’m more in the camp of US dollar down gold/miners up eventually and equities up as well. If we are to get a big sustained move down in equities I would think gold would correct from much higher ground not here.

        I think an important monthly low in the miners more specifically is very close but can drag until end of August/September then we will have our day. This cycle is not over it has been manipulated and speaks of fraud across the sector with short selling while gold is up. Hang in!

        Jul 17, 2021 17:23 AM

        Agree, but also wonder if we should lower expectations and maybe expect things to work out in our favor and 2023, not 2022?
        Doc, if we’re gonna be having a downturn here over the next three months or so, is that the time to buy-based metals and energy if you don’t have exposure yet? Could there be a mini recession in mid 2022?

          Jul 17, 2021 17:14 AM

          Nawanda, I believe it is. On Monday, I’ll be selling a gas company that I have a 100% gain in since some commodities are taking a drubbing and I feel the energy sector will probably follow. I think the $CRB will probably have a short term to intermediate pull back. Once the effects of the stimulus wear off (and with money supply and liquidity dropping), this economy shouldn’t be able to stand on its’ own—the conventional market may be currently sensing that. If we get a slow down you can bet the FED won’t be talking tapering any longer and the money faucet in some shape and form will again take front and center stage. Glen may be correct it’ll take a little longer. A lot of the monthly charts of the PM charts still look awful and it’ll take a few weeks for this sector to bottom.

            Jul 17, 2021 17:52 PM

            DOC,
            I owned HAL, CLR and OXY since December of last year and sold this week. I wonder if commodity complex topped out in June of this year. I still think Trump is going to be proven right that under Biden administration stocks are going to crash. It is taking longer that’s all. When that happens, Fed would be again powerless just like during the Covid crash. Everyone thinks mining stocks would take a hit but I don’t think they would correct much due to less exposure with mainstream investing. I say this because miners didn’t correct much during Dec 2018 crash. I could be wrong though.

        I’ve cashed out of most of my jr. gold/silver stocks, especially those that I have big gains on. Nothing worse than watching 100/200/300 percent gains evaporate like they’ve been doing now.
        If Gary Savage is calling for 50 dollar silver in the next 18 months, I say “good luck” on that call.
        Reminds me of like 8 years ago when John Doody said he thought gold was going to 2k in the near future. Took a lot longer than that. No wonder why you don’t hear from him anymore.

    Investment or imperialism? One of the world’s largest gold mines could’ve transformed Kyrgyzstan. Instead, it enriched Canadians

    Kumtor Mine, operated by Toronto-based Centerra Gold

    For authorities in the capital Bishkek, the allure of repatriating one of the mountainous nation’s few natural resources seems to be a win-win situation

    An important area of support for the HUI next week is 253 to 246.

    Stocks are now clearly at least short term bearish. Those who look at charts but can’t see that should throw their charts away.

      The chart above proves that the majority of people think stocks are going higher. Stocks don’t make one new all-time high after another without a confident, euphoric public.

    Gold managed to finish above its important daily “P” pivot for three days in a row and its oscillating indicators remain bullish:

      hi..
      thnks for the updates,
      has gold got to go up one year from today not before… ??
      these weakness are looking Like more sellers r in gold right now?

        Jul 18, 2021 18:02 PM

        Hi Danny, gold will go up way before one year from today no matter what happens in the short term.

      Jul 17, 2021 17:15 PM

      More importantly, it managed to take back its weekly P pivot after spending 5 weeks below it.

      If these developments stick, our miners could turn up before most expect.

    Jul 17, 2021 17:31 PM

    The May/June failed breakout of XAU vs Gold easily explains the ferocity of the decline since. It is now down 17% and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends at down 20%.

    The conventional markets have probably seen their top for a long time. It’s finally time for the big tech monopolies to get the axe.
    The weekly gold chart is showing a big move coming. It’s rare to see the momentum indicators so flat. When they get flat, they build price pressure. Even the stochastic has been flat for a few weeks. The likelihood of the big move being downward is high. The monthly charts tells that story. Good luck to those holding PM related stuff.
    If you like shorting markets, the coming weeks are going to be fun. The markets go up on the escalator and come down on the elevator.

    Jul 17, 2021 17:50 PM

    Gold ran into MA and Bollinger band resistance which could easily account for Friday’s pullback (or at least aided the pullback if it was “helped” by certain price managers). Either way, the picture is not bearish.
    https://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=%24GOLD&p=D&yr=0&mn=5&dy=0&id=p41355425092

    Jul 17, 2021 17:07 PM

    In the gold space, only gold avoided issuing a new weekly MACD sell signal. The weekly RSI-14 is also back above 50 and 3 year uptrend price support is currently about 1745…

    Is gold really an inflation hedge?

    Political violence’ or a recession, what’s more likely? Gold’s strongest drivers – Jeff Christian

    Gold really didnt do much for 20 years, thats a bit of a wait.

      Jul 18, 2021 18:01 PM

      If you bought gold 20 years ago, you’re still up almost 100% versus the S&P 500 (after being up almost 700% vs the S&P 500 at the 2011 top).
      Gold tends to lead inflation by pricing-in a lot of it suddenly which then causes the appearance of it lagging inflation later. In the long term, it is clearly the best inflation hedge there is. That is, it is the most consistent and accurate at accounting for inflation of the currency/gold substitute in question. No, it does not provide the leverage that we all like but leverage always comes with increased risk that can cause us to massively underperform inflation. Gold carries virtually zero risk in that regard, long term.

      As of last summer’s high, gold went up 100 fold since the U.S. adopted a Marxist central bank and the reason is inflation and only inflation. Tyrants hate gold for its unstoppable natural accounting of their (always unsound) policies. Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler and FDR all banned their people from owning it and that speaks volumes. Why are they so threatened by an inert metal? Now you know.

    Buying in 1980 you dont get anywhere until about 2007.
    Thats a long wait, especially when other investments were paying.

    From 07-12 it was obviously good if you sold in 2012 and bought again 6 years later in 2018, where we go next remains to be seen.

    I expect my grandkids will get what I have, then its their problem 😉

      Jul 18, 2021 18:58 PM

      b. In 1980 I had a roommate in New York who had just finished five years in the navy on air craft carrier duty. Six months at sea followed by six months at port for maintenance. When in port he lived on board rent free.

      He had saved forty thousand dollars and put it all in gold bars purchased between $500-$800 in 79/80 when gold was at its hottest. I remember teasing him, a Texan, that a real cowboys fan would have bet the lot against the 49ers. That was the year of the Montana-Dwight Clark catch.

      We kept in touch for many years and i would always ask him if he still had his gold. “Yup…I’m never selling…its real money…essential with these politicians and central bankers degrading our currency.”

      He died too young a few years ago. An awfully good guy. Your comment about gold ‘Buying in 1980 you don’t get anywhere until about 2007’ reminded me of John.

      There’s a bad time to buy almost any asset.

      Jul 18, 2021 18:30 PM

      There’s no hope for people who buy MASSIVE price spikes (blow-offs) in ANY sector, so that’s here nor there.

      What a nasty correction this is and and continues to be! Facts gold above $1800 second quarter earnings should be great and this fraud of naked shorting the miners to oblivion is incredible. Never thought I’d say this but maybe we go Into negative pricing with the miners like rates lol.. For example if it goes to a penny then they will short it to -1 incredible.

        CNBC trying hard to avoid the F word and blame the down markets on Covid. They can’t say The Fed.

      Jul 19, 2021 19:15 AM

      Looks to me like the attack today is a disguised attack on miners. My account down 9% while Dow worst at -2.3%. Bond yields down. Gold only down .3% at the moment. Yeah…hit on miners looks bogus. Glad to see people making some quality buys. I have one I want to but it is up today. Figures. If it doesn’t get hit I will probably add more Emerita as it is getting trashed again which only means somebody wants cheaper shares than Retail Buyers.

    Jul 19, 2021 19:14 AM

    It’s been awhile since I bought so much IPT, just got filled at .51 and also bought KTN at .21 and some BBB as well.

    Jul 19, 2021 19:35 AM

    UUUU gapped down and then bounced to fill most of the gap but is still stuck at the 200 day MA. It is oversold but the weekly chart implies much more weakness ahead so and show of strength looks like a selling opportunity to me. The proceeds should go into the gold/silver shares in my opinion (not advice).
