Yeah, I couldn't believe the rally in oil and gold lasted for so long. I actually sold my HGU yesterday at a small loss from when I bought it. But now I'm way ahead of where I would have been.

I also decided to buy HOD yesterday.

So hopefully the market will go in to the shitter here for a while. :poosie:

I expect gold bleeding to stop around the low 960s and expect it will rally a bit back upwards. but while everyone believe its a great buying opportunity, the trend may have changed as the US dollar index looks like it has broken its sharp down trend line and will eventually work its way back to 80 and a re-entry above 80 will signal further strength this of course will send oil and gold lower.

My thoughts on HOD/HOU

The EIA numbers were just released and they were not constructive. With respect to the marquee numbers, crude built by 2.9 million bbls versus the expectation of a modest fall, gasoline stocks had a small draw but less than expectations, and distillate stocks built by over 1 million bbls, again more than expectations. On the face of it these numbers were bearish, but it gets worse:



- West Coast crude inventories drew by 1.7 million bbls - West Coast movements are typically ignored by the market, and the crude build excluding the West Coast ratchets up to 4.6 million bbls

- crude imports were up 868,000 b/d or almost 10% from the previous week – first sign of offloading of floating storage into onshore inventories

- gasoline demand plummeted by over 500,000 b/d from 9.54 million to 9.02 million b/d over the past week

- across the barrel, total product demand fell below 18 million b/d to 17.7 million b/d, a drop of 900,000 b/d week over week and based on our records it appears to be the first time this decade (or century for that matter) that total product demand in the US has fallen below 18 million b/d. The weekly total product demand number now lies 2.5 million b/d below the original demand number posted by the EIA for this week a year ago.



The market has not responded well, off about $1.00 since the release of the numbers, but still trading above $67.00. If the market manages to rebound and end the day higher after these inventory numbers, it will be further confirmation that market sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. But if the near-term fundamentals take hold we could be looking to revisit the 200-day moving average down at $61.00.

i expect DOW to rebound around 8600 as this was the previous double top, 1st test will no doubt rally off here. there fore the run could either continue or until we break below 8600 to confirm we are entering a selling trend.

I believe gold, silver and oil should slowly creep up to a certain point, then another wave sell off begins.

Bears are always right.

When the market goes up bears are right because the fundamentals make sense.

When the market goes down bears are right because it is finally coming to it's senses.

Calling this a bear market rally would imply that we have to at least get down to ~660 and more likely break below that to confirm a downward trend.

At what point will the bears finally roll over and say this is a bull market even if a correction is imminent.

Think about this. 3 times in history has the market reverted back 12 years or prices. Each time was the bottom.

We are trading above the 200dma. Even if this doesn't hold up, which could be possible consider that the 20EMA which has proven to be a buy signal is rapidly approaching and sits at 905. The 50DMA is 875 and climbing. We are up 40% percent for crying out loud and still this is a bear market rally.

Economic indicators are improving not regressing. Banks are lending to each other and the consumer. Home sales are coming back, people will buy cars again, and the world is not over.

Throw that P/E metric out the window. Even Graham who brought up this point originally stating overbought and oversold markets used 10 year averages. This was also based in a time when people had other alternatives in investing. Right now my 1% bank account, or 4% government bonds do not offer competition to 4.5% TransCanada dividend yield. Especially in inflation scenarios.

Remember how bad things were in March and think if this market is truly capable of replicating those lows.

So is it all up from here? Of course not. We just went up 4 days straight so of course today is going to go down. I am also not overly rosy on the economy and feel that we will go through another recession scenario 5 years or so down the road. But in the meantime just accept that you aren't seeing 666 on the SP again. This market has rallied through so much and everyone HOPES it goes back down to get another shot at ridiculous deals.

If you still read up till this point I would be very interested in knowing the arguments for a scenario that we could get that low to keep saying this is still a bear market.

we will know soon enough if this market is a bear rally trap or simply overbought waiting for a good pull back before taking higher.

the only question is, is this recession an inflationary one or a true deflationary enviornment. If it mirriors 1930 deflation, then we will soon see the DOW will eventually sell off to a new low somewhere between 3-5000. And this recent rally has the making of the same record rally back into 30s only to sell of to new lows.

But if this was inflationary one. like the 70s. then I would imagine all we will get is a healty retracement pulling DOW back down somewhere in the mid 7000, if that is the case it would set up a pretty nice reverse head and shoulder pattern that would take DOW back above 10k, asuming 8800 high to low of 6500 that is about 2300 so add 2300 onto 8800 and you get 11100. I read goldrunner's analysis and he calls that we are very much similar to the 70s as an inflationary enviorment.

and I surely hope so because I hate to see 20 dollar oil and 600 dollar gold. If we get this right, it will set up gold nicely to break 1000 and beyond. oil will find a bottom maybe 55? then it will be one last time of buying of the century.

I can't see the comparisons to the 30s. 1970s seems like the most obvious comparison.

I think the real question that has not been asked is if the world would have gone through more great depression scenarios in the 50s if not for WWII stimulus, in the 70s if not for monetary stimulus, and finally right now if not for monetary stimulus.

All recessions are deflationary by definition and maybe the reason why we are taking the exact same approach that was taken in the 70s which will probably doom us to the same result of 1982, is because the alternative is going through a deflationary spiral like the 30s.

It seems like rule number 1 is to inject capital and cause inflation at all costs. Since the 30s the US government has never treated a recession by letting the market work itself out.

well, for all we know we could have both, meaning we will have inflation follow by deflation. because the amount of debt that is eroding our credit away is still massive and if you think about it, would a few trillion be enough to save the 60 trillion or was it 600 trillion of bad debt world wide.

This would (if you follow H.S dent theory) when the trillions of dollar injection start hitting the streets, we could have a temporary hyperinflation, but this will bring on a hyperinflationary recession as the gov raises interest rates to double digits to combat it before the economy fully recovers.

The only difference between this inflationary recession and the 80s is that the world hasnt been in such massive debt before so it could bring on another unthinkingabove deleveraging and deflation as even more credit disappear.

So what would happen if we saw double digit interest rate? Inflation out of control? Isn't there a way to control it? :dunno:

Assuming I have no debt, paid off cars and house when that hits, I can just go and buy a GIC and lock in at 10% at 5 years? lol That would be useless as purchasing power is erroded due to the inflation? :dunno:

How would the stock market react to that type of economic condition? Crash it? or 20,000 TSX? Just running a few scenarios through my mind.

KleanCord
06-03-2009, 02:15 PM
^That is not entirely out the question.

The thing is it is probably not likely until a few years down the road. Once people get comfortable again and the recession is in the rear view mirror they will start spending again.

It is not like it hasn't happened before as we saw in the 80s double digit inflation and 22% mortgage rates.

Another big reason to be in stocks. Bond values are the same as debt and in inflationary environments both favor the person issuing the bonds and in debt.

Although inflation has not been great for stocks your alternatives fair worse. In fact probably you best investment would be TIPS and hard asset securities.

You asked "isn't there a way to control it?" In fact it is one of the easiest things to control. The problem is you can cripple the economy while doing it. All it takes is to raise the interest rate until people stop spending, save more, and are forced to pay higher interest charges on mortgages and loans. People aren't chasing as many houses, cars, or consumer products and the economy cools off which puts the brakes on inflation.

I'll look at buying up commodities if inflationary pressures go up. Theory being that commodities will appreciate at the rate of inflation since they're assets.

Cash is one of if not the worst thing to have during an inflationary period IMO. Debt is likely one of the best things to have...imagine having a loan at 4% and being able to lock into a GIC at 10%? Easy money!

Right now I'm trying to decide what the best course of action is. Say if the TSX does meltdown to 8000 again (close to triple bottom), take $100-$200K out of the HELOC and buy XIU? 2% interest loan vs potentially 10/20/30/40/50--->100% gains? LOL

Am I out to lunch here? Remember, XIU is the S&PTSX60, not 2X leverage or high risk stuff but there is still some risk obviously.

interesting, a good indicator, which confirms, if we are in a deflationary depression like the 30s, then we will see new lows and the water fall decline continues, but if this a inflationary decline we should see a healthy correction back into the 7000s then reverse with a H&S pattern out to a new high then its time to load up :) and go long.

06-04-2009, 06:33 AM
ok well no surprise on all the charts thus far, gold broke down and oil broke down as expected. is it no wonder DOW suddenly surges in the last 15 min and close way above 8600? which is a very important support.

it all comes down to us dollar

and looking at the chart its right at or near the down trend line, this trend channel has been in a decline for quite some time, so either its going to hold and force everything back up as it drops again, or it will break and suggest a new trend. while I expect the US dollar would make a strong rally soon if not now but looking at a similar pattern when it first got to 83, it could look like its another failed pattern that will lead it back to the down side.

if so then we would see oil get back up, gold bounce off 960 which it did this morning.

Im taken considration that someone on another forum posted that gold's cycle low is at around 3rd and 4th of June. And so far its playing out. I would suggest getting long on gold at low 960s with stops below 960. we wont see 940 until 960 is broken to the down side, until then lets assume the weakness of US dollar remains and if gold as more upside then getting long on 960 should provide us with a solid base.

I bought it cheap when it dropped and making a couple hundred bucks in 20 minutes seemed like an OK thing to do. Only problem was I could have made a couple hundred more bucks in the next 5 minutes! :poosie:

Oil is definitely ripping it today! We'll see if it breaks $70 or if there is any resistance there. I haven't decided whether to grab more HOD or wait for a sure sign of resistance yet.

As far as HND / HNU goes, I'm not going to touch either until gas is < $3.20 or > $4.20. It's hovering somewhere in the middle of that range (likely where it should be) right now so until I feel it's oversold or overbought I'm staying away. Inventory is still moving up and with all the shale gas potential I can't see it breaking out too far on the upside.

I'm thinking 11.78 is a good entry point for HOD.

Missed the dip on HNU to 5.50. Will also pick some up if it hits ~5.75

Got stopped out of HOU at $9.90 and trying to get back in at $9.70 lol

As for HEB, wow, crazy.

Can someone explain GAS to me? Natural gas is up slightly but GAS etf is down 3%. :confused:

HNU has rebounded nicely.

HNU has rebounded nicely.

The GAS ETF is based on the NGX Natural Gas Index which is based on the natural gas traded on and cleared through the Natural Gas Exchange (here in Calgary as a matter of fact).

It is VERY heavily weighted on Alberta (AECO) gas and not so much in terms of NYMEX futures. So you won't be gaining much when the USD drops since a good portion of the exchange is traded in CAD/GJ.

Here is a good link if you want to see how the NGX Natural Gas Index is calculated.

reading some of the boards on google.ca/finance on HEB and sure seems interesting. A few speculators are saying anything from $10-$40/share if approved.

Not sure if its worth chucking some money at ... i guess invest what you can afford to lose cause this thing could drop just as fast as it has risen leaving you with a 60% loss.

Any of you watching Magna International? I was totally oblivious about them till some guys at work were talking about them. Apperently they have been buying up pieces for sometime to construct a electric car, and for a while been looking to aquire a car company. Plus they've presented a converted focus to ford which landed them a contract.

Their stock is trading still pretty high, but that potential is pretty tempting. I don't have the confidence to invest in them right now but when the economy bounces back and can afford luxury items again could be a big player in the industry. Anybody else have thoughts on them?

Those google discussions are a complete waste of time haha, only good for a laugh or two. I'm still in on HEB, but at this point its all gravy already took my profits just playing with house money now.

I am debating getting in on UUU, not sure if I should hold out I was thinking of getting in at the 1.50 point, but the lowest i think i saw it was 1.58~ and then it had a nice 12% gain up to 1.87 i believe. What do you guys think, hold off until the news settles down and then get in?

I'm not big time enough to get into the ETF game haha

ok its friday, how are we going to do on 1st week of June. No new chart updates other than the US dollar index simply because most chart continues to trade in their respective channels. so all eyes on US dollar looking at it you can see it just bounced off its down trend line again. now it will be interesting as you have an uptrend forming and down trending soon meeting together. so it has to make a move either up or down. I cant rule out volality since most investor will continue to believe in sell the rallies for the US dollar hence if we are going to see higher US dollar it aint moving without a fight.

that said, we can say oil and gold is either near a top or beginning of another leg higher it will all depend on the performence of the US dollar.

while the US dollar still has some room to go until it meets its most important support at 77.77, I just get the feeling it may have bottomed out at 78.3 few days ago. why? because looking at other charts such as the CAD and JPY they've all broken their uptrend.

also with the overbought confidition showing up on the PM, silver has now looks to be forming a massive head and shoulder pattern on the 1 hour chart. So gut feels tells me we should see a breakout of the US dollar and it will begin a slow grind upwards. Unless gold can make a new high above 991 I think its best to wait and see what the trend says then buy the dips on a up move or sell the rallies on a swoon.

one thing oil right now is right up against its high around 69.5, top side of the channel suggest upper target now stands at 70.50-71 scary. What is lifting oil higher? everyone says its the US dollar yes, but yesterday when the US dollar raised sharply , oil didnt really drop instead it actually went higher while everyone else tanked against the greenback. we should have saw oil touched its bottom half of a the trend channel to around 64 for a best entry divergence but it didnt do that. its quite bullish imo, so perhaps it wants to raise first before dropping? if so 70 area may offer a good shorting opportunity for a short term play.

good luck

update: and so I forgot to take in account the big news today, lower than expected job loss but higher unemployment. to me I think this is a initial strength follow by weakness since the unemployment continues to trend higher, and now the talk is the GM chapter 11 will add to the loss down the road. gold is collasping after trying to break out the down trend line at around 980 and now at 969. watch below if 960 does not hold.

what are your thoughts on NG ?

SilverRex
06-05-2009, 06:51 AM
^

well its too bad I ran out of patient when NG first dip below 6, but it was merely a short play, for longer term i'm still holding my gut feel that I want to see 3 or below NG before getting in

edit: another technical importance, euro/usd finally broken down below 1.4100 while it rally off here yesterday, it has truely broken down. and this is a massive H&S break down of the neckline that will lead it to 3900 easily. That means the US dollar index should get back to 80 or even above, that means silver = collasp = gold is sell on rallies and oil should drop. already put in a 1 hour reversal hammer on the 1 hour chart. Welcome to the new trend boys

pick your coin flip... HEB will either go up w/ FDA approval or fall flat again.

I have a 75% feeling in favor of rejection by FDA... just my 2 cents. but if you really think long.... then all the best :) cause we're betting against each other

Yikes, hope you covered your short position.

Depends how comfortable you are with HNU, I think you have more opportunity to trade it in the shortterm even taking commissions into effect. $1 swing in prices in the last 24 hours that I've been watching, just waiting for it to drop again so I can get back in.
