Thoughts About HUI/XAU and Reliable Lead Indicator NEM

The fact that both HUI/XAU appear to have broken their Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (began 5-11-06) downtrend lines, but haven't followed through by 5%+ (would be a major buy signal), isn't surprising. Since reliable lead indicator NEM's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (1-31-06 until 10-4-06) ended at 39.84 on 10-4-06 (see chart 4 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html), the largest component of HUI and the XAU is now probably going counter to HUI/XAU cyclewise, since HUI/XAU are still in a Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (began 5-11-06). This made the likelihood of HUI/XAU significantly breaking their Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market downtrend lines/doing a fakeout much greater, so, the fact that nearly all gold/silver bugs are bullish now is understandable, but probably tragic, because of the likely impending 3-6 weekish vicious 30-40%+ decline.

Also, HUI/XAU don't correlate 100% with the gold/silver stock market, but they're good representatives. Thanks to reliable lead indicator NEM they tend to lead most gold/silver stocks.

HUI/NEM/XAU should be about to fall off a cliff the next few sessions, which will be Wave A down of the likely 3-6 weekish vicious decline for HUI/XAU. Since 10-4-06 HUI/XAU have rallied toward their Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (began 5-11-06) downtrend lines, and, may have entered Wave C of Wave C (Wave C is probably doing an Elliot Wave ABC down up down pattern), in which HUI/XAU may experience a vicious 3-6 weekish 30-40% decline that should mark the end of their Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market (began 5-11-06). They should decline to or at least approach their Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendlines at 200ish for HUI (the trendline could turn up to 220ish since HUI is more parabolic/volatile than the XAU) and at 90ish for the XAU, see charts 3 and 5 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html.

HUI/XAU's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market began 5-11-06, see charts 3 and 5 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. NEM's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market that began on 1-31-06 ended on 10-4-06 at 39.84, so, reliable lead indicator NEM is probably in a 5 yearish Wave 3 Cyclical Bull Market since 10-4-06, see chart 4 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/ .
