The NEM Lead Indicator Was A Very Bearish -1.35% Versus The XAU Today
The NEM Lead Indicator was a very bearish -1.35% versus the XAU today, which, combined with a very bearish WMT (Walmart) Lead Indicator at
-0.59% versus the S & P 500 (SPX) today (since WMT/SPX are much less volatile than HUI/NEM/XAU -0.59% is very bearish as opposed to bearish), points to potentially severe weakness tomorrow for HUI/NEM/XAU, and, points to significant weakness in SPX.
Yesterday's very bullish WMT (Walmart) Lead Indicator at +0.81% versus the S & P 500 (SPX) correctly portended significant SPX strength today, which propped up HUI/NEM/XAU due to index fund program buying. The WMT (Walmart) Lead Indicator will probably help to finetune the NEM Lead Indicator for very short term timing, along with Elliott Wave of course.
Reliable lead indicator NEM did an Elliott Wave 12345 upcycle from Friday until early yesterday, then did a sharp Wave A down followed by a modest Wave B up that peaked early today, and, was in Wave C down at session's end (see 5 day NEM chart at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=nem&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=m26-12-9%2Cp12%2Cfs%2Cw14&c==), which points to weakness in HUI/NEM/XAU early tomorrow, which jives with the very bearish NEM and WMT Lead Indicators.

Massive Fed Credit since 12-14 (see http://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/omo/dmm/temp.cfm?SHOWMORE=TRUE) has been keeping SPX's downtrend since 12-18 reasonable thanks to index fund program trading, and, so far has prevented HUI/NEM/XAU from experiencing any vicious 3-5%+ declines in a single session.
NEM has a bearish double top at 47.80 on 12-8 and 47.77 on 12-15, with 47.80 on 12-8 being a minor intermediate term cycle high for the cycle that began on 10-4-06. The next few sessions may bring brutal declines. For anyone to suggest that you shouldn't seriously consider taking profits now means they don't understand what's going on.HUI could fall all the way to 200ish in the next few weeks (it's Secular Bull Market PRIMARY trendline, see chart 6 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html), with much of that decline probably due to program selling related to SPX (S & P 500) weakness, notice how HUI has been following SPX the past 5 sessions, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?t=5d&s=%5EHUI&l=off&z=l&q=c&a=m26-12-9&a=p12&a=fs&a=w14&c=&c=%5EGSPC.
Many gold/silver stocks are likely to decline 30-40-50%+ FROM HERE in the next few weeks. You need to determine where the Secular Bull Market PRIMARY trendline is for your gold/silver stocks, see charts 6, 7, and 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html for examples. I haven't seen a single gold/silver writer who understands that a Cyclical Bear Market is in effect right now.
HUI/XAU are in Wave C of Wave C of the Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market since 5-11-06. In the next 3-6 weeks HUI/XAU should do exactly what reliable lead indicator NEM has already done, which is to decline to their primary multi-year Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendlines, currently at 200-220ish (could turn up which is why there's a wide range) for HUI and at 85-90ish for the XAU, see charts 6 and 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. NEM did a Wave A down, a Wave B up, then it's Wave C did an ABC down up down pattern, which is exactly what HUI/XAU appear to be doing, with Wave C of Wave C probably having begun Tuesday 12-5, when minor intermediate term cycle highs occurred, see charts one and two at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html.
As a long term multi-year investor in any stock, commodity, etc. you want to buy near the primary multi-year Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendline, for example NEM's is at 40ish right now, see chart 7 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. Therefore, NEM right now would be a great buy in the 40-42 range. Gold's primary multi-year Secular Bull Market/very long term upcycle trendline is at $525ish right now, so, gold would be a great buy in the $525-550 range. When the vast majority of gold writers say it's a great time to buy or are bullish, as they almost always are, it's rarely a good time for long term investors to buy. The vast majority of gold writers couldn't time their way out of a paper bag. They tend to be terrible.
HUI/XAU's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market began 5-11-06, see charts 6 and 8 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 7 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/ .
