COMMENTARY for Tuesday

Gold and Silver Gathering Strength

by Rick Ackerman on May 5, 2009 12:01 am GMT · 3 comments

The sharp rally in gold and silver was over in less than ten minutes yesterday, giving way to a “flag” correction that was lazily continuing to unfurl almost half a day later.  This is a modestly encouraging sign, since we’d gotten used to seeing bullion’s rallies evaporate like gushers of steam from a geyser. The Comex June Gold contract exceeded every minor benchmark we’d set for it, so our bias will be bullish for a change as Monday’s night session evolves.

TODAY'S ACTION for Tuesday

Goldman Shares Are Still Our Telltale

by Rick Ackerman on May 5, 2009 4:33 am GMT

Using Goldman has kept us on the right side of the market for some time, so I’ve taken pains in today’s touts to show why the stock — and therefore the broad averages — is almost certainly headed higher. There are three targets in the $140s, and if the highest of them is reached it would imply a rally of about 11 percent from yesterday’s settlement price of 134.16.

by Rick Ackerman on May 5, 2009 4:02 am GMT

The _____ target kept us properly bullish through thick and thin, but our focus should now shift higher, to a minimum _____, now that the first number has been turned into suet. This target is a fresh one and unadvertised, so by all means short it with a stop-loss as tight as three ticks if it's hit today. The target is shown in the accompanying chart, and ...

GS – Goldman Sachs (Last:134.16)

by Rick Ackerman on May 5, 2009 4:28 am GMT

There are three rally targets worth considering right now, all of them between ___ and ___. The lowermost, _____, should be used as minimum objective for now; however, if it's surpassed we should infer that the second, a Hidden Pivot at ____ broached here earlier, is likely to be achieved. And if that number ...

June Crude (last: 54.05)

by Rick Ackerman on May 5, 2009 4:40 am GMT

June Crude's easy move above a midpoint resistance at 51.80 suggests _____ is likely over the near term. Bulls can get there any way that suits them, but a "dynamic" trailing stop is suggested as the futures approach...
