This Middle East is exploding…

And Gold has gone lower?

That is a MAJOR red flag for the bullish case.

SHORT GOLD NOW

 

Ok…Last Friday’s SURPRISE BOMBING in the Middle East DID rally Gold about $50, but here we are three days into the  next week, with the WAR escalating daily, and Gold is now back down almost $100 an ounce from that Friday high.…To which I’ll say, “Is that all there is??!!” I mean, really, if this WAR getting started in the world’s hottest hot spot did not take Gold roaring into new highs, WHAT WILL?

 

What I’d suggest, and have been suggesting, is EVERYBODY WHO WOULD BUY GOLD HAS ALREADY DONE SO…that we now have a planet full of investors fully long this market to their personal limits, with all of them sitting there waiting for the profits to start rolling in as the next “leg” higher takes place…And if some degree of WAR BREAKING OUT didn’t do anything more than we’ve seen, MY GUESS IS THAT THE NEXT PHASE IN GOLD IS GOING TO BE LIQUIDATION.

 

MORE SO THAN EVER, I THINK THIS MARKET IS A BIG SHORT…AND WILL REMIND YOU THAT WHEN THIS TOTALLY EMOTION DRIVEN MARKET GOES DOWN, IT TYPICALLY BREAKS DOWN 20-30% AND IT USUALLY DOES SO QUITE RAPIDLY.

 

MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO BE SHORT GOLD NOW…WITH AN INITIAL TARGET IN THE $2800 AREA…AS WELL AS SILVER, WHICH I CAN EASILY SEEN $4-$5 LOWER IN NO TIME AT ALL (that’s how it trades). YOU EITHER SHORT FUTURES HERE OR BUY PUTS…AND IF THE MARKET DOES MAKE A NEW HIGH, EXIT WITH A LOSS.

 

There is an old quote from Amos Hostetter, one of the world’s first legendary futures traders: "When a market doesn’t do what it should, it will often do a lot more of what it shouldn’t." And let’s face it…Both Gold and Silver SHOULD have truly exploded during the past 4-5  days…but instead, it had a one day blip up, and it’s now BELOW where it was when the first rockets were launched? I THINK BOTH MARKETS ARE FULLY, FULLY OWNED BY THE INVESTING WORLD…AND THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT DO WHAT THEY “SHOULDN’T,” WHICH IS, GET TRULY CLOCKED ON THE DOWNSIDE.

 

 

Contact me if you agree and want to do something with this…or in Silver. I would add that both markets have manageable Micro Futures contracts in which your risks can be defined by stops.

 

Thanks,

Bill
