HUI Put In A Slightly Higher Very Short Term Wave 5 Cycle High Today
HUI put in a slightly higher very short term Wave 5 double top cycle high today (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==), while NEM and the XAU appear to have failed to put in very short term Wave 5 cycle highs today, which is a bearish sign.
HUI's Wave 1 peaked early on Thursday, Wave 2 bottomed late on Thursday, followed by Wave 3 peaking late on Friday, Wave 4 bottoming early yesterday, and, a very short term Wave 5 double top cycle high appears to have occurred early today. Note that the very short term Wave 5 upcycle since early yesterday has an Elliott Wave 12345 up down up down up pattern.
The anemic Wave B of Wave A short term upcycle for HUI/XAU (major downcycle since 12-5-06), and, the anemic Wave B of NEM's minor intermediate term downcycle since 12-8-06 is obviously a bearish sign.
I'm looking for the NEM and WMT Lead Indicators to turn bearish (looking to short and buy XAU puts) as HUI/NEM/XAU should soon experience a nasty short term Wave C decline (a few days, so one must be nimble) in which Wave A of HUI/XAU's major downcycle (Wave C of Wave C of the Cyclical Bear Market since 5-11-06) since 12-5-06 (see charts 2 and 3 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html), and, Wave C of NEM's minor intermediate term downcycle since 12-8-06 (see chart 1 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html) should bottom.
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. Reliable lead indicator NEM should be in a 5 year+ Wave 3 Cyclical Bull Market since 10-4-06's cycle low at 39.84. HUI/XAU are in a Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market since 5-11-06 (have yet to reach their primary trendlines as discussed in subsequent paragraphs).
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.
HUI/XAU's Wave 2 Cyclical Bear Market began 5-11-06, see charts 7 and 9 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 8 at http://www.joefrocks.com/GoldStockCharts.html. ....... http://www.JoeFRocks.com/ .
