Are You Ready for The 2nd Leg Higher in the TSX Venture in 2018?

Looking at the TSX Venture Chart above it appears the Venture peaked in 2011 and bottomed in 2016. Since the summer of 2016 the Venture has consolidated that first move for over 18 months. It appears that we could be starting the next leg higher with this break of 850. We are also moving into a very favorable time period where rallies occur between January and March. If you want to take advantage of a new year tax loss bounce you should buy a handful of really quality juniors which are still cheap.

Is Chile’s Mining Industry About To Boom After Election?

For many months now I have related to my subscribers that the pro capitalist movement in Chile was growing stronger and that a rally could begin in the Chilean junior miners as the country turns more pro-busines. I highlighted for close to a year now that maybe Argentina was getting a bit overpriced and we should look at Chile for the critical lithium supplies. Over the weekend the runoff election was announced and my forecast of Chile turning pro business was spot on. Conservative candidate Pinera won by a huge margin pledging to rebuild the economy and open up the country to foreign investment. He won more votes than any other president indicating the people of Chile want the economy to rebound.

Year End is the Most Wonderful Time of the Year to Buy Junior Miners

Long term experienced junior mining investors knows that the Holiday Tax Loss Selling Season is usually the best time to pick up bargains. Even in down bear market years January and February are usually favorable, however, we may be on the verge of some of the best years in mining ever! Notice the significant rallies off these lows the past 3 years.

Silver Stocks May Be Cheapest Opportunity In Decade

Gold miners have kept in line with gold bullion and stocks so far this year. Copper, zinc and palladium have outperformed both stocks and gold. However, silver and silver stocks have lagged behind but I believe they could not only play catch up but they could far surpass the gains of these other metals as their is a record short that may soon have to cover if the US dollar finally breaks down. Silver may be the cheapest and best opportunity in the market right now from a value perspective. If you notice the silver to gold ratio has not reached this high since 2008 and 2002.

In Colombia’s Antioquia Province Gold Mines Can Be Permitted in Under 2 Years

Most investors were completely unaware when I started talking about Colombia in 2014 that the country is one of the strongest with regards to mining law and political stability. Many did not believe that mines could be permitted under two years. Now the majors realize this is not only a great district to find high grade gold but permitting could be one of the most efficient in South America.

#Gold Breaks Above #200DayMovingAverage For First Time Since Beginning of 2016

Please see one of my premium updates from last week. Gold is breaking above the 200 DMA which is very positive for the junior mining sector as huge capitals of inflow occur usually from generalist investors on this technical move. The last time gold broke above the 200 DMA to the upside was in early 2016 and led to a powerful five month upward leg higher.

Three #InterestRateHikes Then “Stumble” into #Gold #Silver #JuniorMiningStocks

Now that the Fed has met and increased interest rates for the third time, I expect more capital to rotate from overvalued stocks to the junior miners similar to what we saw after the dot com crash. This bubble in stocks could be on the verge of a precipitous fall which could abruptly wipe out the capital chasing stocks higher into nosebleed levels. Bitcoin and paper currencies are losing favor while gold and silver may come back later this year and certainly in 2018 when many of the major producers are set for a supply shortfall. As stocks correct and treasury yields rise with rising inflation more investors will flock to our illiquid junior mining sector seeking tangible assets for protection and a hedge against hyperinflation.

Stroke Detection Device Breaks Out on Huge Volume As They Advance Through FDA Process

For months now I have been telling my readers about a relatively unknown medical device company that could be on the verge of earning a fortune with a device that could prevent strokes with a cheap test that could be installed in Primary Care Offices. The stroke epidemic especially here where I live in South Florida is out of control. In the US there are around 800k strokes annually costing the healthcare system billions. There has got to be a better and easier way to prevent and screen for strokes.Technically the chart is forming a cup and handle. Look for a breakout on large volume. The handle has been forming for six weeks and I expect a bounce off the 50 DMA

Zinc Hits 5 Year Highs: Is This Canada’s Next Zinc Producer?

An exciting metal breaking into 5 year highs is zinc at $1.30 per pound. Its still way below its pre credit crisis highs at $2 but it looks like it could be headed there later this year. Smart investors are scrambling around for the top zinc assets which can get into production in mining friendly stable jurisdictions. At the end of December I saw some of the smartest mining investors the Lundin and McEwen Family putting seven figures into this new zinc company whose Chairman built Blue Pearl, Thompson Creek, Wheaton River... in the last commodity cycle. He has over 35 years of experience. These stocks he built went from pennies to ten+ dollars per share with a billion market cap. I believe this could be one of the top zinc assets in North America. This asset has 4+ billion pounds of zinc at a time when producers were shutting down.
