I must play defense until the debt deal is done. I will take my signals, but lighter, and will hold some hedges like last week holding UVXY calls. Then I believe, gold, silver, energy, and XIV will move higher, much higher. The Fed's are now monetizing nearly 100% of the deficit, and the good news is that since the Federal government receives those interest payments from the Fed, this debt is phony, so no new strain to the budget. The bad news is that the monetary base is rising in my estimate over 12%, and if velocity increases, inflation pressures will start to become intolerable.
If my scenario holds, we will get a large lift in all risk assets, then equities will fall away, with volatility rising, as energy squirts ahead, and people see the pricing at the pump, then gold, silver, and the miners will be the last man standing, before they rollover. My view is we don't clear this initial mess until the end of February, then we zoom for six months.
Let's see how it plays out.
In 2012, I launched a paid service based on my signals. We posted over 260 trades and the signals produced an average annualized gain of approx 70%. The buy signals worked great, the sell signals depended on me to manually post the exits. Administratively was too much, so I now have completed the automation of both the buy and sell signal. It takes away my bias on the trade, we don't miss any trades in the watchlist, and if we reverse back up, will get us right back in the trade. I expect even better results in 2013. I also decided to pare my watch-list down to 10-12 stocks/ETF's. They are spread across gold, silver, energy, nat gas and technology sectors. For the 1st quarter they are:
- FNV
- SLW
- SIL
- AG
- CDE
- GASL
- ADBE
- DDD
- XIV
- VXX
- HAL

I also am going to start sharing my SPY buy/sell on my public Twitter site @Bobloveshawaii. Just click on the link to the right. You also will receive nightly commentary, most nights during the week. The SPY signal will be free for now, so you can see that it works.
Thanks for reading, and have a safe new year.
Thanks Bob.......I agree that we will see more upside before the wheels come off the bus.
ReplyDeletePrepare yourselves for another manufactured rip to new highs. The controlled capital markets con carries on.
TPTB will only be forced to let go of this manipulated stock exchange, when economic conditions actually deteriorate to such a point, where they can no longer continue to brazenly deceive the trusting masses who blindly accept the illusion that all is fine. I'm afraid that is not yet the case, still way too many believers in American exceptionalism smoking the Hawaiian pakalolo.
