Junior Miners (GDXJ) Are Outperforming Gold Bullion (GLD)

Since the expiration of QE2, gold outperformed silver, the large producers and the small miners. However, that trend appears to be reversing as the cash strapped junior miners are getting more interest from the cash rich majors and royalty companies who need to look for resource growth. Notice the major royalty deals that Silver Wheaton just recently signed for the first time since 2007.

This Gold and Silver Miner May Be The Next Takeout Target

This miner appears to be breaking out of downtrend and a base of over 18 months. Now it has made an 8 month cup and now in September is forming the handle near 2012 highs. The 50 and 20 day has crossed above the 200 day. This is called a golden cross and may predict a positive move similar to late 2010 when the company rallied from $1.25 to $4.25. We believe if you look at the comparables of previous acquisitions such as Minefinders, Fronteer and AuEx that a much higher price is justified.

Major Capital Accumulating This Fast Growing Uranium Miner In Colombia

One company that we recommended in July has seen a huge increase of institutional interest and analyst coverage has been initiated.

Why Cash Flow Is Crucial To Gold and Silver Mining Investors

We highlighted one company that should be bought before it begins producing as it may be rerated by the market shortly as it begins to generate positive cash flow. This company operates in Nevada which is one of the top places to mine precious metals from a permitting and cost basis. The company is on the verge of production and generating cash flow which will attract attention from large institutions. It should be noted that some noteworthy funds hold and just acquired large positions this mining company such as Gabelli Funds and U.S. Global Investors as they anticipate revenues starting by the end of this month. The company has recently broken out of a 18+ month consolidation on record volume from increased interest from institutions. We expect this trend continues as it produces cash flow and earnings. It has recently made a 10 week bullish consolidation handle which is now finding support at the rising 50 day moving average. The company may be ready to make its next move to challenge all time highs and break through $3.20. The 200 day and 50 day moving average is positive and the chart appears to be extremely bullish.

Gold and Silver Miners Breakout As Open Ended QE3 Announced

It must be noted that the spinmeisters know that when the general equity markets rally to new highs, then the probability favors the incumbents who usually win by a landslide. The S&P500 and Dow Jones is breaking into new two year highs which may make the voters feel that the economic storm has passed and good times are here again. These accommodative moves will be quite painful to investors who are sitting on a record level of cash and U.S. debt and have been shaken out of their gold and silver holdings.

Uranium Miners Breakout: Competition May Arise For Near-Term U.S. Producers

Finally, the fine hand of Iran is adding to the possibility that the price of oil may be used as a counter stratagem to destabilize the entire Middle East cauldron, as the Arab Spring morphs into the Islamist Winter. We note the recent attacks on our U.S. embassies in Cairo and Benghazi, on the anniversary of 9/11, which resulted in the death of Americans, a U.S. Ambassador and the tearing down of the U.S. flags which were replaced with Al Qaeda emblems. Should this continue to occur across the Middle East then there may well be a spike in all forms of energy, especially uranium which is selling at a fraction from its peak in 2007. If Iran mounts a Middle East counter-offensive and possibly chokes off the Straits of Hormuz, perdition may break loose as all commodities may spike putting urgent strains on an already weak Western economy. This may be the reason why Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are going full speed ahead in constructing nuclear reactors to counteract the inaction of the world which is allowing Iran to move full speed ahead.

Investors Preparing For QE3 As Gold and Silver Skyrocket

The Fed may follow China and other countries around the globe in making accommodative moves. This summer China began cutting interest rates for the first time in years. Do not forget two years ago at the end of August, Bernanke announced QE2, flooding the markets with $600 billion. Silver soared from $18 to $50. It seems that investors have already prepared for such a move as gold and silver stage technical breakouts, while the miners are just beginning to play catch up. In this article we highlight a potential takeout target which has shown incredible resource growth.

Precious Metals Breakout: Royalty Companies Outperforming Major Miners

For several weeks, we have been attracted to silver due to rising demand as a monetary metal and declining supply due to the lack of new discoveries. Silver (SLV) is beginning to outperform gold (GLD). We are beginning to see major breakouts throughout the mining sector (GDX). The precious metal royalty companies are outperforming led by Royal Gold (RGLD) and Franco Nevada (FNV), some are making new 52 week highs.
