Gold Makes Bullish Breakout as Investors Fear Higher Interest Rates $GDXJ

Its been a great week for the beaten up gold investors as capital sought safety as a market panic started. In reality, the stock market was way overbought and needed at least a shakeout which it has done pulling back to the rising 200 DMA. For months I have been early seeing declining momentum and insider selling in the Large Caps. Despite that the share price of large cap equities continued into nosebleed territory. I was taught years ago that the smart investors sell into rising markets and buy into declining markets. That's how the intelligent investors get in early. You can witness this phenomenon possibly through the divergence between momentum and price as we see in chart below. The trend is a friend until its broken on huge volume. During this week's market selloff gold remained the true safe haven not crypto as was promoted by the young 20 year old know nothings.

Trump Signs New Law Boosting US Critical Metal Projects

For many years, I have asked my readers to learn more about our national security being totally reliant on foreign imports of our must crucial minerals and metals needed for our newest technologies. At times I even suggested to contact your local elected officials and make them aware of dire importance of a domestic secure supply of these most critical elements. I have been warning for close to a decade about a coming crisis among modern industrial nations posed by China's draconian and monopolistic maneuvers in the implementation of a rare earth quota system. See the full article on Seeking Alpha written more than seven years ago entitled, "The Fast Growing Rare Earth Crisis In The United States". Fast forward eight years after little support from Obama, the rare earth industry (REMX) as well as other critical battery and clean energy metals such as lithium, cobalt, graphite ...etc could receive an important boost. Late last year under the new Trump Administration an executive order was signed ordering federal agencies to end this monopoly of critical metals by China. Lithium Ion Battery materials was identified as crucial for America's economic future to have a secure domestic supply.

Gold could be about to breakout into new 10 year highs when looking at in Canadian dollars and top gold explorers in the best mining jurisdictions will come back into favor as the producers can not replace their reserves.

3 Junior Miners in USA Making Big News at PDAC in 2018

Here we go again as this time of year brings a lot of hype to the mining industry as tens of thousands of people from all over the world come to Toronto to present their goods and services at the PDAC convention. Its not uncommon to pay $300+ for a hotel room to hang around the Toronto Convention Center and go to a bunch of parties. However, the more experienced junior mining investors are aware of what has been termed by many the "PDAC curse". The PDAC Curse is becoming more widely known when there has been more selling coming out of the conference than buying. However, things may have changed these past couple of years and we are seeing some bullish reversals coming out of PDAC.

Notice the pricing in lithium and cobalt is surging. Gold is on verge of huge breakout at $1400. Remember the days struggling companies would change there names to dot coms? Now they are adding blockchain to their names to dupe investors into the latest fad. Well I'm not falling for it and either should you! Stick to the metals and commodities just beginning to breakout into multi year highs. Look to early stage explorers and developers known as junior miners with top tier assets and management teams with track records and are debt free.

Multi-Year Breakout in Gold at $1400 Could Boost Junior Miners

“We see a breakout at $1,400 in gold, which could mean new multiyear highs,” said Jeb Handwerger, editor of GoldStockTrades.com, which offers a newsletter focusing on mining exploration companies. Gold futures haven’t topped $1,400 since 2013. A decline in the value of the U.S. dollar has recently helped boost dollar-denominated prices of gold, but Handwerger pointed out that “many investors have been diverted away from mining into much more speculative areas like blockchain and cannabis.” “Even investment conferences and newsletter writers who were once gold bugs are now cryptocurrency gurus,” and this is very similar to 1999 when gold bulls became dot-com gurus,” he said. “Eventually, we will have another gold rush possibly even bigger than the late 70s but possibly more like the 30s.”

Is Trump Sparking a Revival in US Lithium Sector?

Many investors are ignoring the recent move in the nation's capital by President Trump to reduce our reliance on imported lithium which more than half comes from South America. A US domestic lithium supply is becoming a top interest for lawmakers and energy companies. I believe we should continue to witness increasing agreements between end user battery makes and junior lithium companies especially in the USA. Notice the chart below the US is nowhere to be found for lithium production despite having significant resources. That could change under Trump.

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.
