Precious Metals Pullback To Uptrend Provides Buying Opportunities in New Bull Market

This is turning out to be one of the most powerful rebounds in gold and silver's recent history. For a long time I have advocated patience and fortitude with respect to wealth in the earth assets and continued to find the top performers in the junior gold mining sector. Those that have stuck with me are positioned now for this great run as I believe that this is the beginning of a major new bull market. I have warned you for weeks now that new investors in juniors should wait for pullbacks to rising moving averages rather than chase. The miners were beaten so low in this bear market that like a compressed spring bounced so hard so fast that a healthy pullback to upward sloping 50 and 200 day moving averages like we are seeing now is quite healthy and restorative. Here are three top junior gold miners to watch.

Near Term Gold Producer K92 $KNT.V $KNTNF Breaksout into New Highs on Increased Investor Interest

Ian has around four decades of mine development expertise successfully starting eight major mines. Ian became famous in the summer of 2007 when he sold his company UraMin to Areva for $2.5 Billion executing a great exit for shareholders at the top of the uranium bull market. Could K92 be Ian's next big win in the mining sector as the project comes back into production?"I think the Kainantu project is one of the most prospective in Papua New Guinea. The strength of the structures and veins are most impressive. And they contain significant high grade gold!" – ALEX DAVIDSON, K92 Mining Advisor & Former Executive Vice President Barrick Gold Corporation

2 Advanced Near Term Gold Producers in BC Canada

I highlighted a couple of gold stocks in British Columbia to my premium subscribers which I believed was on the verge of taking off after the Osisko investment in Barkerville Gold Mines in February and the success of Bob Quartermain's Pretium (PVG) Brucejack Discovery. Remember British Columbia is known for some of the highest grade gold and silver deposits in the world.

Could This Be the Start of an Early Bull Market in Precious Metals and Commodities?

This could be a major turning point and transition from a historic bear market in the junior miners to what could be the beginning of a breathtaking move in precious metals, commodities and the junior miners. Looking at the returns year to date, silver is in first place followed by gold, platinum and oil. Smart contrarian investors have been accumulation precious metals and commodities at once in a generation price levels. The worse things got in 2015, the better they became in 2016.

Junior Gold Miners Breakout As Fed Does “One and Done” on Rate Hikes

The junior gold miner ETF (GDXJ) broke out of a handle that was formed near its one year high around $27 after the Fed stayed put on interest rates and stated there may only be two hikes instead of four this year. This should continue to be bullish for precious metals, commodities and the junior miners. I believe we are in a new bull market for junior miners that has followed a five year historic rout in junior resource stocks. The early stages of a new uptrend are when some of the greatest gains can be made.

Precious Metals and US Treasuries Seen as Safe Haven as Oil and Stocks Crash in 2016

It is important to study the beginning of trading in January as major pools of capital tend to re-position around this time for the new year 2016. So far this year it has been ugly, one of the worst starts in history. Oil is crashing below $30 down over 20% year to date. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 are already down more than 10% year to date. Mostly all markets are in the red except precious metals and treasuries.

Is Junior Gold Miner Relative Strength Forecasting Powerful Relief Rally in January?

Looking at the chart above notice that even though gold (GLD) has hit new lows, the junior gold miners (GDXJ) are finding support and the Momentum indicators are positive. That may indicate a rebound or at least a relief rally may soon be underway in the junior miners possible following tax loss selling. December tax loss selling is always challenging in the junior markets during good times, how much more so in these historically tough times. The good news is that January is usually rally time for the junior miners as investors reposition for 2016 in beaten down names. I expect that the first three months of 2016 could be exciting for some of the highest quality names with top assets, treasury and management.

US Dollar Double Top? Could US See Recession in 2016?

I predicted back in 2011 that Europe would follow the US by printing and that further bailouts of weak Euro nations would cause a decline in the Euro. As I expected back in 2011 capital flowed to the oversold US dollar. Commodities and precious metals did not rally with the dollar as a safe haven and caused a major commodity de-leveraging weakening major mining financial institutions such as US Global Investors, Sprott, Pinetree, Dundee and many others. In 2011, many funds began to raise cash and reduced their exposure to mining related equities. This has been going on now for more than four years, turning into one of the worst bear mining markets in history.

Once in a Lifetime Buying Opportunity in Junior Miners Might Not Last For Too Much Longer

As the summer comes to an end, investors return to their offices and trading volumes tend to pick up after Labor Day. I expect that many are realizing the markets have considerably changed since May. Global equity markets are all off led by the price decline in the S&P500 which has broken its four year uptrend forming a technically bearish death cross. The name of the game right now is capital preservation and plunge protection. Look for rallies in equities to be short lived. The Fed is expected to raise interest rates for the first time in many years on September 17th. However, there is growing uncertainty that will not occur especially due to the recent equity market volatility. Many other major economies such as China are announcing stimulus plans to prevent a recession. As the global stock markets rolls over on fear of a US Rate increase, it could boost the value in the beaten down precious metals and commodities as they may be seen as a safe haven to protect against a plunge and preserve capital. Here are ten reasons why I believe precious metals, commodities and especially junior miners may be the best place to be over the next 3-5 years. The bottoming process for the juniors after a seven year decline may be ending in the next few months as they once again come back into favor for the following ten reasons.

Post Stock Market Crash, Will Investors Look To Junior Gold Miners as a Hedge?

Despite equity markets hitting new highs many of the sectors were already in decline. This historic crash over the past week has been fueled by one of the most overbought markets that I can remember since the dot com bust. After the dot com bust investors sought out value in the deeply discounted commodity sector and junior miners. I expect history may not repeat but it should mimic. After the dot com bust junior mining was the place to be.
