Early "Strength" Is Likely Tomorrow For HUI/NEM/XAU/SPX
Early "strength" is likely tomorrow (could come after a plunge at the open) for HUI/NEM/XAU/SPX, since the NEM Lead Indicator was a slightly bearish -0.17% versus the XAU today and became more bullish toward session's end, and, the WMT (Walmart) Lead Indicator was a very bullish +0.61% versus the S & P 500 (SPX) today.
However, HUI/XAU appear to be in a very short term Wave C OR they'll try to do a very short term Wave 5 upcycle in rollover mode early tomorrow that could end up still being Wave B if they fail to put in higher cycle highs than those on Friday, see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=%5EHUI&t=5d&l=off&z=l&q=c&p=&a=m26-12-9,p12,fs,w14&c==.
Cyclewise, NEM did a very muted short term upcycle from last Wednesday until mid session on Friday, with Waves 3 (cycle high early on Friday only slightly above Wave 1's early on Thursday) and 5 becoming increasingly muted, which is a very bearish sign, see 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==. NEM had a severe very short term Wave A that bottomed early today, and, a muted Wave B was in effect at session's end today, which is another bearish sign.
Given NEM's bearish action recently that resulted in bearish NEM Lead Indicator (at -2.31% versus the XAU) last week and a slightly bearish -0.17% versus the XAU today, I'll be looking for bearish NEM and WMT Lead Indicators tomorrow as I look to short/buy XAU puts. NEM's cycle low from 10-4-06 at 39.84 should hold, because NEM hit it's primary Secular Bull Market trendline since October 2000, and, hit a major 5% follow through buy signal, see chart 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html.
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. 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 7 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 7, 8, and 9 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 7 and 9 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 two and three 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 8 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 $470ish right now, so, gold would be a great buy in the $470-500 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.

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 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/ .
