THE MORNING LINE
Still Fishin’…
I’m taking an extended break from the daunting challenge of predicting the stock market’s behavior each week as though it were correlated rationally and logically with events in the real world. My weekly commentaries will resume when I am feeling better up to the task. In the meantime, if you need a regular dose of Rick’s Picks, don’t pass up a free opportunity to use and enjoy all of the site’s amenities, including the Trading Room, the heart and soul of my service. Its purpose is to help investors make money, a goal it achieves so consistently that gifted traders from around the world like to hang out there. The photo above shows Venezuela’s Angel Falls, the world’s highest waterfall and a good metaphor for my outlook on the stock market. Finally, here’s a link to my latest rant at This Week in Money on July 2. [Note: This link will change to present fresh material every other week.]

$GDXJ – Junior Gold Miner ETF (Last:117.62)
I gave GDXJ the benefit of the doubt when last week ended, but all it did was add to the disappointment we’ve felt waiting and waiting…and waiting for gold to show a pulse. I set a low bar, and GDXJ didn’t have to do much to turn the intraday charts

TNX.X – Ten-Year Note Rate (Last:4.68%)
We’ve been using 4.82% as a minimum upside projection, but it’s time to shift the target to the 5.09% Hidden Pivot shown in the chart (see inset). The erratic ascent of long-term rates has been making headlines lately, but Rick’s Picks subscribers have been expecting them to hit 5% for
