I thought it was also important to share Bill Fleckenstein’s note about the COT report today:
“…there was some good news today in the CFTC data, which showed one of the biggest one-week position changes I have ever seen (last week was good-sized as well). I often ignore this data because usually there is little actionable in it, but this is a pretty good indication that the decline in metals is close to running its course. Year-end crosscurrents make the next couple weeks sort of tricky, but this was a positive development nonetheless.”
Stay Disciplined
The sentiment is also extremely negative right now and that is very bullish from a contrarian perspective. If you are accumulating physical gold and silver, just continue to purchase at the normal times each month if you are dollar cost averaging. Don’t be distracted by the manias that are unfolding. Instead, stay disciplined and don’t try to outsmart the market as you continue to accumulate. For those of you who are accumulating your favorite high-quality mining shares, continue to dollar cost average in December.
Speaking of gold…
In The Footsteps Of Giants
One of the top questions KWN receives from investors about the mining industry is always: “How do you know out of the thousands of companies there are to choose from which will take-off and which ones will falter?” The answer for smart money investors is always to look for proven leaders with previous success as a good indicator of future success. One individual that fits this description is pictured below with multi-billionaire Robert Friedland.
Multi-billionaire Robert Friedland chose this man to lead his expoloration team and it turned out to be a brilliant move because he was responsible for two of the largest and most important discoveries the world has ever seen while leading the team at Ivanhoe Mines. Investors across the globe are now following this man into his latest venture where he will help lead an exploration team where the CEO believes the team will deliver drill results that will send the stock price soaring more than 1,000 percent! Also, a legend in the business just made a 7-figure investment into this relatively unknown company. To get in on the ground floor and learn more about this remarkable company simply CLICK HERE.
