Leveraging Up on Precious Metals Ahead of Fed Meeting
i believe we will see precious metals rebound in the next month, but the shorts are still holding the market back (as ted butler suggests). too bad the SEC doesn't outlaw naked shorting of all stocks (including miners) instead of just their investment bank buddies. crooks.
slw is buy at these levels, although we might see a quick dip below $10 in the coming days. it is the hardest thing to do, but investors would be wise to buy into the current correction. this is truly a fire sale and the precious metals market will prove, as it always does, to be resilient enough to bounce back strongly from these sell-offs.

Renesola: Burning Hot Solar Stock
i am always cautious of "head fakes" in technical charts. i like to see 2-3 strong days of closes above resistance before jumping in.
solar expert,
i like ldk as well, but have not researched them as extensively. i doubt they will outperform sol over the next 6 months, but i could be wrong. calling renesola garbage is a bit extreme. their management team is very impressive and their financial performance backs up my confidence in the company. i think the entire sector will do well as a result high oil prices and increased government subsidies. the u.s. recession could dampen the outlook though, so i am cautious at this moment and balance my portfolio with ultrashort etfs and precious metals stocks. best of luck to all.
Gold and Silver: Is the Correction Over?
The miners typically offer leverage to any increase the metal realizes. This hasn't happened in the past few years, but historically speaking, returns are 2-4X greater if you own the miners vs. owning the metal.
You can get additional leverage by picking up warrants on SLW (TSX:SLW.WT.A)

Gold and Silver: Is the Correction Over?
But to respond... yes CDE is an obvious choice for a silver miner moron. They are the world's largest primary silver producer. What isn't obvious about that? I was including some silver stocks to give new investors a place to start researching.
And the 10 predictions were running contrary to what most in the investment world believed at the time they were released. So I appreciate your prediction that the sun will rise, but that really isn't comparable.
I suggest setting tight stops on solar because I am not convinced that they have bottomed or will be able to rally in the face of a recession. So while the solar sector is explosive and looks to have bottomed, setting stops will protect from a deeper plunge in prices. Matt Callow - I think their bubble has already burst, as many companies have lost over 50% of their market cap in the past 3 months. Solar stocks could always continue lower, but I think the "bursting" has already happened to a large degree.
Peace & prosperity to everyone during these increasingly chaotic times.
How Bad Is the Dollar's Fall?
Gold is certainly an inflation hedge and while some people will continue bashing the "barbaric relic," it has beat just about any other investment that you could have made over the past 6 years. My money says it will continue to do so and the dollar will continue to lose value. The fundamentals have not changed. The Fed can still lower rates to 0%, as it did during a very similar economic situation in the 70's. Stay long gold and short the markets.
My 10 Predictions for 2008
Please Georealist. My views are contrarian, not pedestrian. I appreciate the vocabulary lesson, but you are plain wrong about these views being "ordinary." And if you don't want to read other people's views on the markets, what are you doing on Seeking Alpha?
And Al from CT - 0 for 10, eh? I am already 9 for 10 and it is only March.
You guys are a bunch of armchair quarterbacks, tossing around insults without putting your own views on the line. Maybe you are just bitter because you keep making the wrong picks and losing money. I can help. Subscribe to view my portfolio and you will start to turn things around. Much love to the haters.
I appreciate the positive comments, but where these posters disagreed, they were wrong. The dollar has continued down sharply and global markets have been dragged down with the U.S., as predicted in my original piece.
Doubling Down on Continued Weakness in Real Estate, Financials
For those who blasted me and said it was "too late" to short the housing and financial sectors in early November, I am happy to report that SRS is up about 30% and SKF is up about 35% since I recommended them 4 months ago!
Anyways, thanks for the spirited discussion. If you would like to view my portfolio and track my stock picks, go to login.goldstockbull.co...
Gold Pulls Back - Is There a Deeper Correction Ahead?
Not sure if you noticed, but gold is up 50% in the past 6 months. I am invested largely in Canadian stocks, which also reap the benefit of currency appreciation. But even if you were in dollar-denominated gold stocks and lost 10% to inflation, that is still way better than you could have done with just about any other investment over the past year. Are you suggesting the Dow or Nasdaq would have been a better place to invest? Sorry, but your analysis just doesn't add up and yes, all of the fundamental reasons to hold gold are still in place.
Gold Pulls Back - Is There a Deeper Correction Ahead?
Best of luck to everyone in these markets. Buy and hold is certainly a viable strategy. Buy GDX, SLV, GLD and take possession of some physical metal, then go about your life and check back in a few years.
