the COT report is incomprehensible. mike ballanger is
right- silver, gold, and the HUI are going down
the commercials added an incredible 31,000 gold shorts
and are now 163,000 net short. this is historical.
they added 4,000 silver shorts and are now 74,000
net short. also historical.
the HUI is holding up beautifully, but will probably,
correct just like the metals.
i got out of my 10 silver contracts. why fight
the Big Banks when they act like this?
best,
roger
COT Report is ugly again, today was ugly. Just wish that one time the commercials aka banksters would get punched in the mouth. I’m convinced the only reason they hold ANY long positions is to dump them on the market when the price goes up. Silver was down right depressing today. Dumped my EGO this am, fortunately for a profit, but no doubt I’ll get crushed on USLV. Nothing like pm’s in any market.
Why Brent Cook and Joe Mazumdar are doubling down on the exploration and the insights
TGR: Last summer when we talked, Brent, you compared the mining market to a wasteland. As we approach the other side of the junior mining equity valuation desert, how will we know if it is an oasis or a mirage?
BC: I envision the past four years as a tribe of the unwanted crawling across a foreboding abyss comparable to the Great Salt Lake desert in the middle of summer. It’s just been brutal. As we made our way across the salt flats people just lost the will, went broke and in general fell to the wayside one by one until there was only a small group of us left. But I think we’ve finally stumbled onto a bit of water. It does not appear to be alkaline. I think this is for real, but we have to remember that Donner Pass lies up ahead. You know how that turned out for the unprepared.
Yeah, some not very good results from GG, so we can probably expect the standard 20% hit on that one today. Unfortunately it’s in the indexes and funds so it’s dragging them down a bit, but not all that much.
Surprised the metals are up a little this am with oil and SM futures higher although the USD is a little lower.
