From Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst, Casey Research:
For the past eighteen months, gold stocks have been pummeled.
They showed some life from mid-May to mid-June – GDX, the gold miner’s index, was up 21%, while gold rose 5.5%. That bounce was exciting, but they’ve still got a lot of lost ground to make up. Since January 1, 2011, GDX is down 28%, while gold is up 10%.

Like my whiny children, who after 30 minutes into a 6 hour car drive, investors are asking themselves, “Are we there yet?” After all, the SP500 is down a little over 8% from their highs in the past 3 weeks, and investors want to know if the selling is done and if this is a time to buy.

Luckily, SocGen’s James Nixon has released a note helping us make some sense of Trichet’s message. In addition, SocGen has [...]

Kasper Kierkegaard, an analyst at Danske Bank, reports from the futures markets that the speculative net bullish positions on many [...]
I’ve got people such as my barber and my neighbor who never talked finances before giving me stock tips. I turn, politely smile and say I don’t invest in the stock market knowing full well that when barbers and shoeshine boys start handing out stock tips, the market has lost it’s sense of objectivity.
