Two weeks ago NUGT was in the $170's, now $106 and dropping like a dress at a Rose of Tralee pageant.

Seems like there's anticipation of a hawkish Yellin' come Friday. I've been in and out of this, fortunately I was out before this recent Niagara event. Opportunity(?)

    JNUG also. Was $316 six days ago. Now $191. I got the fever and almost pulled the trigger on both last Wednesday. I avoided, and boy am I glad. I'm usually not a gambler as I typically prefer a buy and hold dividend stocks strategy, but dodged this bullet. Had I got in and still in at this point I probably would've just rode this out.

    Is now the time to buy? Edited to add I bought 10 shares of NUGT and 10 of JNUG as a flyer.

    NUGT never boring, Dropped another 10%, down 43% in the last month, but still up almost 300% for the year.

    Still outperforming GDX on a relative basis for the year, 286% to 88%. Of course, for a longer perspective, the 5 yr return is -99.5%, which isn't that good.

    NUGT is not for the faint of heart. Obviously, timing is everything with this and I think timing is a stroke of luck. As for me, I'll stick with my boring index funds. image

    One of the quirky things about NUGT and JNUG is that they just split 10-1 and it's just a matter of time until they do the opposite and reverse split again.
    Go figure.

    Jobs report out Friday 8:30 a.m.

    Positive report (is there any other kind image) will increase chance of rate hike.

    Last rate hike fueled gold.

    Will it be different this time? Most likely not.

    Conclusion: Positive jobs report Friday will have immediate, positive impact on gold. The jobs report "leaks" should start showing up on kitco price chart before the report.

    So, as an impartial bystander I note that NUGT went up 11% today.

    Gold up $27 helps.

    GS predicts $1425/oz early next year, Spring (predictions, hehe). Can one imagine holding NUGT until Spring? That would be an insane ride. I don't have the stomach for that....

    Then buy the dips, sell at the peaks, then buy the inverse DUST, sell at the peaks, then buy the NUGT, sell at the peaks. . .

    All that is required to make extraordinary profit is nominal volatility (the norm for gold) and lots of good timing. image

    FWIW, my current NUGT exit plan is at $30 GDX. . . unless things change. GDX is a good watchdog, more schmedictable. NUGT responds in step with GDX (with 3X the gains) and is less schmedictable on its own. And, of course, gold spot helps drive GDX.

    correctly choose the movement of the dollar and you can correctly choose the movement of gold. This will help to correctly choose the movement of the miners as well as the price of silver.

    Understanding how things affect the dollar is currently a better tool than understanding how things affect gold.

    Edited to add: Stopped out at $24.50.

    I hate to pile on our good comrade jmski, but, remember a few years ago when I asked the good comrade to let us know when he intends to buy stock (actions to be used as a contrarian indicator)?

    I'd help you if I could but I haven't played with leverage for a couple decades and I'm fine with buying the real stuff. My tongue-in-cheek teaser was to let you know that I do think that playing with leverage is fun but hazardous.

    Here's where I may not be helpful as a contrarian indicator - I've got me some dry powder and I plan to use it before too long. image

    I don't care about the market timing. I feel the need to rescue some more dollars!image

    Again, I stress that buying the real stuff doesn't really count as a contrarian indicator for paper. I do think "it's about time". There's certainly enough stuff going on to justify a few more oz's.

    Well, we haven't had a good heel clicking for about 5 years. Maybe the time is ripe!

    Gold is pretty unique in that it's a monetary play. Silver and Platinum are economic plays, but silver has a history in the monetary arena as well.

    Pick your poison, I'll take some of each.

    If you're really good at timing and/or analysis, go with paper but don't say I didn't warn ya.

    One of the reasons NUGT (and gold) are having a good year

    "Both (central) banks are being reported to have printed close to $1 billion dollars of fiat money as of recently. This should come as no shock to anyone, as this is all Central Banks know how to do - print money.

    What is more stunning, however, is where they immediately moved these funds. You guessed it right - into precious metals.

    They know that the physical precious metals market is limited, tight, and scarce. They also know that if they simply printed $1 billion worth of fiat money out of thin air and moved it into physical, then they would risk blowing the market apart, sending prices potentially catapulting higher.

    Since they are not yet willing to face the wrath of the other Central Bankers around the world, they did the next best thing. They bought shares in the gold mines themselves."


    Look for it to continue. image

    Just think how much of the public debt can be paid off if 'they' nationalized our 401k's? But do 'they' really want the debt to be paid off? Methinks no. Could be the subject of D'sousa's next conspiracy movie though..."Hillary 2020 - Armadebtgeddon."

    They changed the banking rules such that your bank account is technically "a loan to the bank" and not an asset owned by yourself. What's that say about the status of your 401K?

    It's become Bizzarro World, and it's critical to understand just where we all stand in the scheme of things. Laws only apply to the select group of wage earners known as "taxpayers".

    Debt is currency. Seems odd to me. Assets are liabilities to be taxed. Seems odd to me. Productivity is penalized. Seems odd to me.

    I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    Today's headline under NUGT..."Fed Stays Put on Rate Hike but is Wary; Investors Should Be Cautious, Consider Gold." In the days before the rate decision it was virtually "gold is dead" and this just yesterday..."Gold Loses Lustre as Rate Hike Looms."

    Classic.
