Blue Chip Bulldog: The Decoupling of Gold?

  • Doji Girl · 1 month ago
    Question: If gold is on it's own and decoupling, then what happens to the miners if gold goes up but stocks tank?

    The fact that the miners are lagging and not confirming higher gold prices
    suggests to me that they will fall with the market, but perhaps not as
    badly.

    Thanks Doji

    Someone like NEM, who has a gazillion parking lots full of the stuff--starts to skyrocket!

    fwiw ... John Murphy over at Stockcharts did an analysis last night of gold compared to several world currencies (and it is leading every single currency) ... after India's big buy disclosure yesterday the whole world is on board with gold it seems (and everyone is hedging with it) ...

    Hi Bear,

    Thanks for your post here. I greatly appreciate them.

    When you look at the Miners vs the actual metal over the last few weeks/months you see that miners are not confirming the higher metal prices and that is of great concern to me right now.

    When anticipated action does not take place as expected, then that is certainly information in itself not to be ignored.

    To me it says that the rally in gold will be ending soon, perhaps at 1110 as the video suggests or much sooner if not already for the miners OR this is the harbinger perhaps for a sharp equity market correction in our midst, that will not spare any miner of any metal.

    The drama never ends.

    My post which slipped in as you were posting asks this same question. 'Cept you worded it better.

    I agree with that observation about miners ... and your experience in this particular sector is very very helpful to folks here (and to me) ...

    I wonder how much of this lagging reflects problems with miners' poor hedging programs, e.g., Barrick.

    Not sure if you watch Dave's breadth charts, but cumulative breadth is not glowing in the miners.

    The same guy in the video predicted a big sell off in gold that should have happened in this October that just finished. It never happened. That video is probably only 4-6 weeks old and somewhere still on the net.

    Seasonally this is the period where gold prices fall as demand from India abates. This year there was no demand for India; the demand for Gold is from investors. Those seasonal patterns are all off.

    No demand from india...apart from the 400 metric tons they just agreed to buy.
  • jayinasia · 1 month ago
    That is the Central Bank of India. The public of India is selling. Aviat is right. In fact India became a NET exporter for the first half of this year.

    I was just kidding, in part at least.

    I'm not paying any attention to the public's appetite for retail gold,
    though. I can't think of any particularly good reason that one should expect
    the public to be busy buying gold jewelry in the middle of the largest
    downturn of the last half-century.

    Roubini is right. This year has been hard on Jim's credibility... especially since all the new oil discoveries.

    I watched the Gold video, I'd be too afraid to try and short gold at his $1110 top--I'll wait for $1144

    here's my next winning trade,
    It’s already a winning trade,
    100%, ( chart) I can get out of STT $43-$44,, just have to get the correct entry. I think I have that figured out too! $38.7
