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. [Note: This link will change to present fresh material every other week.]
Rick's Free Picks
$GCQ26 – August Gold (Last:4239.90)
Gold caught a favorable breeze on Friday for a change, but if you’re a long-term investor, I’d suggest enjoying the countertrend while it lasts. The initial breach of the 4372 midpoint Hidden Pivot support was sufficiently clear to imply that the 3800.60 target will be reached. It could turn out
$GDXJ – Junior Gold Miner ETF (Last:104.24)
Sellers struggled harder in GDXJ to break down the midpoint support (p=110.36) than in either Silver or Gold futures. That makes its chart more bullish, but not much. We should therefore infer that the bear market will resume, and that GDXJ will eventually fall to D=84.17 once this bounce is
TNX.X – Ten-Year Note Rate (Last:4.48%)
Yields on the Ten-Year Note have fallen sharply since getting within pitching wedge distance of the 4.75% target shown. It’s too early to say with confidence whether this is the beginning of a significant downtrend or just a correction that will eventually give way to a new upward surge. My
CLQ26 – August Crude (Last:82.74)
I’ve flagged Hidden Pivot targets as low as 51.60, which would become no worse than an even bet following two consecutive monthly closes below 85.54 (basis the NYMEX August contract). This picture shows how an interim low near 75 hardly seems far-fetched, even for someone not adept at reading charts.
