The Daily JDV Market Timer – December 14, 2011

12/14/11 (Commentary for Wednesday) The markets appear to be setting up for a waterfall decline that could bottom the week after X-mas. The market declined into the 12/14-12/15 turn window so a bounce into 12/19 or so is possible before the ES resumes its decline – rally attempts should be shorted. Looking for a decline below the 10/4 low by year end as liquidity concerns from Europe ravage global markets and major cycle lows are set to bottom around year end. The DX breakout above the 10/4 high elevates the bear case here and argues for another leg down in the market into year end. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should last into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – We broke many lines of support on gold implying at a test of $1415 by year end as major cycles look set to bottom. The 12-wk cycle low is due by 12/26 or so.

   

• Stocks – The ES may get a bounce into 12/15 but the market is setting up for a waterfall decline. Taking out ES=1213 should allow for more of a corrective bounce that could run into the Monday after expiration.
• Gold – Gold broke down Monday – a price target of $1415 is now in play as liquidity concerns intensify – the 12-wk cycle low is due to bottom around 12/26.
• Sllver – Silver is declining in 5-waves on the 5-min chart – may get a bounce into 12/15 – taking out $26 by the end of the year is possible. Major cycle lows are due in late December or early January
• Bonds – Like the DX, the bonds should take out their 10/4 high as capital is driven into the risk off trade.
• Crude oil – Oil sold off hard on liquidity concerns as most commodities took a hit. Iranian tensions and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX breakout above the 10/4 high reflects the liquidity crisis gripping Europe and argues for a global stock washout going into year end. The DX has rallied in 5-waves and is declining in 3-waves on the 5 min chart – looking for more rally tomorrow. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.

     

TURNING POINT DAY:     

The turn window on 12/14-12/15 should dominate trading this week – looking for a trading low by 12/15.

 

Depression Beater Portfolio: (This portfolio this week is just a sample of my own portfolio - no recommendation to others is implied or intended) DELAY NEW PURCHASES UNTIL LATE-DECEMBER – TIME TARGET FOR MAJOR CYCLE LOWS

 

• Evolving Gold (EVG.TO, C$0.295 -.035) – The stock price fell back to the level of the recent private placement – drill results coming out soon could confirm a world-class find in the Carlin trend – this stock is a buy here. But a world-class deposit in Wyoming (Rattlesnake) and a potentially huge find on the Carlin Trend in NV argue that this stock will be a big winner. Goldcorp took a 15% interest and that says it all.  
  • Uranium Energy (UEC, $2.96 -.04) – The uranium supply/demand story still has legs despite the Japanese disaster. Favoring the near-term producers here like UEC - the fundamentals are much more dramatic that the typical emerging gold producer. Adding on weakness.
  • Strathmore Mining (STM.TO, C$.37 -.01)– Very undervalued uranium stock with huge reserves (+100 M lbs of relatively high grade), lots of cash and production prospects by 2013. 
  • Prophecy Coal (PRPCF, $0.3935 -.0250)  The spinoff of the Prophecy Platinum Company (PNIKF) has galvanized this stock – look to buy at key chart support as the broad market corrects into September/October. John Lee is determined to drive this emerging coal producer in Mongolia into an international mining powerhouse. Started production last fall with a favorable off-take agreement. Very aggressive business plan in place to make it a billion dollar company. Following the path that Robert Friedland took with South Gobi. This stock has obvious 10-20 bagger potential.
  • Gryphon Gold (GYPH, $.256 -.019) - Got plan from management to begin phased production by early 2011 - financing details have yet to be announced.  Has >1M oz AU proven, mining permits and a highly prospective land package. Needs a cash infusion and maybe a partner. Good leverage to gold.

JUNIOR MINING FAVORITES:

(These companies are speculative - best to keep them to 10% of a portfolio with 50% stops based on purchase price. Buy a basket to diversify risk)

   

RULES FOR JUNIOR MINING INVESTING:



1) Keep to 10% of a portfolio.



2) Due your own Due Diligence.



3) Maintain a price stop of 30% of purchase price or whatever your Technical Analysis suggests is prudent.



4) Sell half of position on a double.

   

5) In this speculative environment with many junior miners coming to life, put a TIME stop on your junior investment. If your position is DEAD MONEY, consider rotating it to a stock that has more favorable technicals - juniors should have a PERFECT STORM behind their back between now and April 2011 - it's a time to MAKE HAY.

Depression Beater Portfolio: - see below for new updates on Junior Miner Favorites - (This portfolio is just a sample of my own portfolio - no recommendation to others is implied or intended)

   

12/13/11 (Commentary for Tuesday) In contrast to our expectations, the Fed failed to bring any holiday cheer to Wall Street and the ES fell below 1220 before rebounding late. The ES gave us an EW 5-wave decline on the 5 min chart and we got a Large Divergent Rally on the Option Premium Ratio which implies a bounce into the 12/14-12/15 turn window before a turn down into major cycle lows the week after X-mas. The DX breakout above the 10/4 high elevates the bear case here and argues strongly for another leg down in the market into year end. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should last into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – We broke $1690 on Monday – this implies at least a test of $1650 by 12/15 before a bounce. The 12-wk cycle low is due by 12/26.

   

• Stocks – The DX taking out the 10/4 high argues for a market washout into major cycle lows at year end. A bounce into the 12/14-12/15 turn window should be shorted for another leg down the week after X-mas.
• Gold – Gold tested $1620 on Tuesday in a 5-wave decline – after a corrective bounce into 12/15, we should see a final leg down into year end.
• Sllver – Silver is declining in 5-waves on the 5-min chart – should bounce into 12/15 before a final leg down into year end. Major cycle lows are due in late December or early January
• Bonds – The bonds should take out last week's high by 12/15 before a reversal down on the 5 min chart.
• Crude oil – Crude oil should give us a low by 12/15 before another leg up – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX decisively took out the 10/4 high at 80.23 – this implies that we are in the next leg down for global equity markets. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.

     

TURNING POINT DAY:     

The turn window on 12/14-12/15 should dominate trading this week – looking for a bounce into 12/15 for risk markets before a reversal down by year end.

Depression Beater Portfolio: - see below for new updates on Junior Miner Favorites - (This portfolio is just a sample of my own portfolio - no recommendation to others is implied or intended)

   

12/12/11 (Commentary for Monday) A lot of bullish technicals are being neglected by the majority of investors here. This week has an FOMC meeting on Tuesday – we expect some kind of backdoor QE announcement to help bail out the ECB. We feel that the market has the potential to stage a sharp rally into 12/16 and perhaps beyond - that means that we could be seeing a 4^th wave decline into the 12/14-12/15 turning point window – this count would allow a fierce 5^th wave rally into 12/19 or so after which another leg of the bear market will arrive. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. Crude oil declined in 5-waves on the 5-min chart and may be headed for a low this week in the 12/14-12/15 turn window. The DX is threatening to take out the 10/4 high at 80.23 which implies another leg down in global equity markets.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should last into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – We broke $1690 on Monday – this implies at least a test of $1650 by 12/15 before a bounce. The 12-wk cycle low is due by 12/26 or so.

   

• Stocks – The ES may bottom in the 12/14-12/15 turn window. Taking out ES=1220 on heavy volume will be a sign the next impulse wave down has arrived. Be defensive but allow for the possibility of another bear market rally before 12/19.
• Gold – Gold broke down Monday – testing $1650 by 12/15 may give us an oversold bounce – the 12-wk cycle low is due to bottom around 12/26 – a rally is due this week but it should be contained by $1800.
• Sllver – Silver is declining in 5-waves on the 5-min chart – looking for a short-term low below $30 by 12/15 which should give us a bounce. Major cycle lows are due in late December or early January
• Bonds – The bonds should take out last week's high by 12/15 before a reversal down on the 5 min chart.
• Crude oil – Crude oil should give us a low by 12/15 before another bounce – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.

12/11/11 (Commentary for Sunday) A lot of bullish technicals are being neglected by the majority of investors here. This week has an FOMC meeting on Tuesday – we expect some kind of backdoor QE announcement to help bailout the ECB. We feel that the market has the potential to stage a sharp rally into 12/16 and perhaps beyond - that means that we could be seeing a 4^th wave decline into the 12/7-12/8 turning point window – this count would allow a fierce 5^th wave rally into 12/16 or so after which another leg of the bear market will arrive. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. Crude oil declined in 5-waves on the 5-min chart and may be headed for a low this week in the 12/7-12/8 turn window. The DX and US long bond both look primed for a C-wave down on their daily charts into mid-December.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – This year is comparing well with 2006 – a parabolic blow off in the spring and then a stiff >20% decline into October. A rally started in the PM sector on the 11/25 New Moon/solar eclipse – this should run into 12/21 or so before cycle lows pull prices down into year end.

   

• Stocks – The ES is pulling back Sunday night. Looking for the ES to peak around 12/15 for this week.
• Gold – Gold is declining to $1690 Sunday night – the 12-wk cycle low is due to bottom around 12/26 – a rally is due this week but it should be contained by $1800.
• Sllver – Silver is declining in 5-waves on the 5-min chart – looking for a large bounce this week before cycles bottom into year end.
• Bonds – The bonds made a B-Wave test of the 10/4 highs on the daily chart – looking for a 5^th of Wave C down to make lower lows by mid-December on the hourly chart.
• Crude oil – Crude oil gave us a 5-wave decline on the 5-min chart into 12/8 turn window– looking for a bounce this week – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX is making a C-wave down on the daily chart into the X-mas time frame. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.

12/8/11 (Commentary for Thursday) A lot of bullish technicals are being neglected by the majority of investors here – Dow Theory buy signals, extreme bearish sentiment, etc. We feel that the market has the potential to stage a sharp rally into 12/27 or so - that means that we could be seeing a 4^th wave decline into the 12/7-12/8 turning point window – this count would allow a fierce 5^th wave rally into 12/27 or so after which another leg of the bear market will arrive. A Large Divergent Rally on the Option Premium Ratio and a closing TRIN > 5 argue for a rally Friday. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. Crude oil declined in 5-waves on the 5-min chart and may be headed for a low this week in the 12/7-12/8 turn window. The DX and US long bond both look primed for a C-wave down on their daily charts into mid-December.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

A rally started in the PM sector on the 11/25 New Moon/solar eclipse – this should run into 12/21 or so before cycle lows pull prices down into year end.

   

• Stocks – The ES turned down late and suggests the possibility of making a 4^th wave low in the 12/7-12/8 turning point window. Looking for a strong reversal up to test the 10/28 highs. A Large Divergent Rally in the Option Premium Ratio and a losing TRIN > 5 argue for a rally on Friday.
• Gold – Gold continued its slide into the turn window today – looking for a rally above the 10/28 high into mid-December.
• Sllver – Silver also reversed up – looking for a rally above the 10/28 high by mid-December.
• Bonds – The bonds made a B-Wave test of the 10/4 highs on the daily chart – looking for lower lows by mid-December on the hourly chart.
• Crude oil – Crude oil continued to slide – looking to make a low in the 12/7-12/8 turn window – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX appears to be making a C-wave down on the daily chart into the X-mas time frame. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.

Depression Beater Portfolio: - see below for new updates on Junior Miner Favorites - (This portfolio is just a sample of my own portfolio - no recommendation to others is implied or intended)

   

12/7/11 (Commentary for Wednesday) A lot of bullish technicals are being neglected by the majority of investors here. We feel that the market has the potential to stage a sharp rally into 12/27 or so - that means that we could be seeing a 4^th wave decline into the 12/7-12/8 turning point window – this count would allow a fierce 5^th wave rally into 12/27 or so after which another leg of the bear market will arrive. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. Crude oil declined in 5-waves on the 5-min chart and may be headed for a low this week in the 12/7-12/8 turn window. The DX and US long bond both look primed for a C-wave down on their daily charts into mid-December.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – This year is comparing well with 2006 – a parabolic blow off in the spring and then a stiff >20% decline into October. A rally started in the PM sector on the 11/25 New Moon/solar eclipse – this should run into 12/21 or so before cycle lows pull prices down into year end.

   

• Stocks – The ES turned down late and suggests the possibility of making a 4^th wave low in the 12/7-12/8 turning point window. Looking for a strong reversal up to test the 10/28 highs.
• Gold – Gold may have bottomed early into the turn window today – looking for a rally above the 10/28 high by mid-December.
• Sllver – Silver also reversed up – looking for a rally above the 10/28 high by mid-December.
• Bonds – The bonds made a B-Wave test of the 10/4 highs on the daily chart – looking for a 5^th of Wave C down to make lower lows by mid-December on the hourly chart.
• Crude oil – Crude oil gave us a 5-wave decline on the 5-min chart – looking to make a low in the 12/7-12/8 turn window – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX is making a C-wave down on the daily chart into the X-mas time frame. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.

     

TURNING POINT DAY:     

The turn window on 12/7-12/8 should dominate trading this week – looking for a high and then a retrace into the lunar eclipse on 12/9-12/10.

 

Depression Beater Portfolio: (This portfolio this week is just a sample of my own portfolio - no recommendation to others is implied or intended) DELAY NEW PURCHASES UNTIL LATE-OCTOBER – TIME TARGET FOR MARKET CORRECTION LOWS

 

• Evolving Gold (EVG.TO, C$0.35 -.015) – The stock price fell back to the level of the recent private placement – drill results coming out soon could confirm a world-class find in the Carlin trend – this stock is a buy here. But a world-class deposit in Wyoming (Rattlesnake) and a potentially huge find on the Carlin Trend in NV argue that this stock will be a big winner. Goldcorp took a 15% interest and that says it all.  
  • Uranium Energy (UEC, $3.14 +.08) – The uranium supply/demand story still has legs despite the Japanese disaster. Favoring the near-term producers here like UEC - the fundamentals are much more dramatic that the typical emerging gold producer. Adding on weakness.
  • Strathmore Mining (STM.TO, C$.42 -.01) – Very undervalued uranium stock with huge reserves (+100 M lbs of relatively high grade), lots of cash and production prospects by 2013. 
  • Prophecy Coal (PRPCF, $0.4451 -.0199)  The spinoff of the Prophecy Platinum Company (PNIKF) has galvanized this stock – look to buy at key chart support as the broad market corrects into September/October. John Lee is determined to drive this emerging coal producer in Mongolia into an international mining powerhouse. Started production last fall with a favorable off-take agreement. Very aggressive business plan in place to make it a billion dollar company. Following the path that Robert Friedland took with South Gobi. This stock has obvious 10-20 bagger potential.
  • Gryphon Gold (GYPH, $.28 -.0-) - Got plan from management to begin phased production by early 2011 - financing details have yet to be announced.  Has >1M oz AU proven, mining permits and a highly prospective land package. Needs a cash infusion and maybe a partner. Good leverage to gold.

JUNIOR MINING FAVORITES:

(These companies are speculative - best to keep them to 10% of a portfolio with 50% stops based on purchase price. Buy a basket to diversify risk)

   

RULES FOR JUNIOR MINING INVESTING:



1) Keep to 10% of a portfolio.



2) Due your own Due Diligence.



3) Maintain a price stop of 30% of purchase price or whatever your Technical Analysis suggests is prudent.



4) Sell half of position on a double.

   

5) In this speculative environment with many junior miners coming to life, put a TIME stop on your junior investment. If your position is DEAD MONEY, consider rotating it to a stock that has more favorable technicals - juniors should have a PERFECT STORM behind their back between now and April 2011 - it's a time to MAKE HAY.

12/6/11 (Commentary for Tuesday) On the daily charts the rally from 11/25 does not appear to be a completed 5-wave pattern – that means that we could be seeing a 4^th wave decline into the 12/7-12/8 turning point window – this would allow a 5^th wave rally into mid- December after which another leg of the bear market . A Large Divergent Decline in the Option Premium Ratio, a spike in the ISEE call/put ratio (160), and a euphoric all-exchange put/call ratio (.34) argue for a decline on Wednesday. After this decline, a final rally leg should carry us into mid-December or so. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. Crude oil declined in 5-waves on the 5-min chart and may be headed for a low this week in the 12/7-12/8 turn window. The DX and US long bond both look primed for a C-wave down on their daily charts into mid-December.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year.

12/4/11 (Commentary for Sunday) We're looking for the corrective rally that started on 10/4 to peak by mid-December at levels higher than the 10/28 highs in most global stock indices. After this rally another leg of the bear market should commence. Europe, China and probably the US are in a recession and this reality should be obvious by the end of Q1 2012. For this week stocks should rally into the 12/7-12/8 turn window before pulling back into the 12/9-12/10 lunar eclipse time frame. The DX and US long bond both look primed for a C-wave down on their daily charts into mid-December.

Big Picture on Stocks (Updated) – We bottomed the first phase of a global bear market on 10/4 and we are in a large corrective rally that should run late into the year. We bottomed on the 11/25 New moon/solar eclipse and started a strong C-wave advance that should into mid-December before the start of the next Bear Market Phase.

Big Picture on PMs (Updated) – This year is comparing well with 2006 – a parabolic blow off in the spring and then a stiff >20% decline into October. A rally started in the PM sector on the 11/25 New Moon/solar eclipse – this should run into 12/21 or so before cycle lows pull prices down into year end.

   

• Stocks – The ES should bounce and make highs for the week in the 12/7-12/8 turn window before pulling back into the lunar eclipse on 12/9-12/10.
• Gold – Gold should rally into the 12/7-12/8 turn window.
• Sllver – Silver should bounce into the 12/7-12/8 turn window.
• Bonds – The bonds made a B-Wave test of the 10/4 highs on the daily chart – looking for a C-Wave pull back into X-mas.
• Crude oil – Crude oil has been outperforming the SPX – tensions in the Middle East and a rolling supply shock from the 2008-2009 washout should give us another price spike above $100 going into the first half of 2012.
• Dollar index – The DX is making a C-wave down on the daily chart into the X-mas time frame. Our target of .90 appears to be farther off in time – perhaps in early 2012 as the next stage of the European debt crisis rears its head.
