Gold: So much effort to show how it is Weak.

Next week will be very important. Will Gold perform Bullish Head and Shoulder Reversal pattern with LS at 777.70, Head at 739.8 and RS above 750? If the market will rally further into election after painted not without PPT help a Double Bottom reversal and public will listen to Mr Buffet, Treasuries will continue their bleeding and US Dollar will go down from its recent high. Gold is still holding the best in a recent financial melt down and at least part of the money will be allocated to its real safe Heaven status.

On another hand even Major Producers are beaten into the ground with General Equities as their is no tomorrow. They are screaming Buy if the Gold will hold at its Reversal.

If you Buy this theory GDX will be the best choice without stock picking efforts, othervise biggest in the sector Barrick Gold ABX and Newmont NEM will get attention first, Yamana Gold AUY is highly leveraged to copper recovery on Inflation Play in Americas.

Market will be surprised in this scenario by earnings Power of Gold producers now: Gold is holding well and all other cost base commodities with the most important OIL went down. Companies should show great margins from this last Q of operations.

Once it will show some life greed will come back into sector and the the only supply of Reserves will come into play - Juniors which are given for free right now like TNR Gold TNR.v and Bravo Venture BVG.v.

Silver: Nobody wants any more?SLW, SSRI, SST.v, MGN

If you think that Dow is too volatile these days welcome to Silver market. It is another victim of "Used to Be Smart" guys selling their positions. Believe it or not but we are back on a long term trend support. Should Depression becomes Recession and Inflation after FEDs medicine, Silver ride will be very impressive. It is very important to see when the US Dollar will give up to pretend to be "just fine" and Gold will take off, next will be Silver. Juniors were so much sold off now that you can buy them at levels of almost Beginning of this Bull Market in Silver. Do not forget that the market is so tiny, that any money inflows will move it exponentially.

First money will come to the big names like Silver Wheaton SLW and Silver Standard SSRI, then to the Juniors like Silverstone Resources SST.v a small brother of SLW.

Buy when the Blood on the streets, now in this sector is a tsunami of blood, once it will be substituted by all these printed trillions, silver will shine again.

Zinc: Is Mr Buffet wrong this time? CZX.v

When Mr Buffet buys stocks it means that he can see value in five-ten years time. Zinc price at current level is showing that there is end of the world. Please pay attention to the price level of around 0.5 USD in 2003 when inventories were almost five times higher than now. Zinc has become a Call Option without time decay on Reflation Recovery.

Justification and reasonal explanation now to these level of prices all across commodities are that it is deleveraging and it is certanly true. But once speculators are out Industry is buying and what is more important is securing supply of Raw Materials at this distressed levels. It is interesting how much discount is needed to spur wave of buying again.

Canada Zinc Metals CZX.v with high grade deposit in Canada is trading now at 0.25CAD down from 1.0CAD few months ago and down from closed financing of 7 million dollars at 0.9CAD just two weeks ago.

Should the world continue to spin and economy will show signs of life in China, Brazil and India this distressed level of price will be a memory.

US Debt is 10,331,139,000,845.92 dollars.

Only last week US has sold Treasuries for One Trillion dollars according to Jim Paplava.

Treasury Bubble is collapsing now, flight to Treasuries was in Fear that banking system will collapse and by owing Treasuries you are reducing the bank risk to mere Custodian function, when you will get your Treasuries even if the bank will fail., financial system was saved and there is no incentive to own Treasuries at a Yield below of Inflation rate any more. Game is over.

This is the most important for Us Dollar, Gold, Silver and Commodities:

"U.S. 10-Year Notes Fall on Concern About Supply, Bank Program

"Oct. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Ten-year Treasury notes dropped for a second week as investors focused on the prospect of greater U.S. borrowing and the impact of the Bush administration's plan for the U.S. to invest in banks.
Yields on the notes rose as the government said it posted a record $455 billion budget deficit for the year ended Sept. 30. Morgan Stanley has predicted the shortfall may almost quadruple as the Treasury uses $700 billion to rescue the financial system from the credit crisis. Stocks gained for the week, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rising the most in eight months.
``People are still trying to get a handle on the supply, when it's going to come,'' said James Collins, an interest-rate strategist at Citigroup Global Markets Inc. in Chicago, one of the 17 primary dealers that trade with the Federal Reserve. ``It's obvious it's going to be enormous.''
The yield on the 10-year note rose 6 basis points for the week, or 0.06 percentage point, to 3.93 percent, according to BGCantor Market Data. It touched a 2 1/2-month high of 4.10 percent on Oct. 15. The 4 percent security maturing in August 2018 fell 15/32, or $4.69 per $1,000 face amount, to 100 17/32.
Two-year note yields declined 3 basis points to 1.62 percent.
Treasury 10-year notes underperformed two-year notes amid speculation the government will conduct a second set of special auctions to relieve shortages in the market for borrowing and lending Treasuries. The U.S. on Oct. 8 and 9 sold $40 billion in debt over two days in special sales it announced on Oct. 8.
Awaiting an Announcement
``On a daily basis, people have been looking for the Treasury to come in and make another announcement,'' said Tom Tucci, head of U.S. government bond trading in New York at RBC Capital Markets, the investment-banking arm of Canada's biggest lender. Treasuries with five-, seven- and 10-year maturities ``had been hit really hard'' as traders anticipated new auctions.
The government last week also said it would continue increasing sizes of regular debt sales and consider selling new maturities, and would make any changes to its auction calendar at its Nov. 5 refunding announcement.
``I don't think you buy Treasuries,'' said Bill Gross, who is co-chief investment officer of Pacific Investment Management Co. and runs the $129.6 billion Total Return Fund. He spoke in an interview on Bloomberg Radio from Newport Beach, California, where Pimco is based. ``They're obvious flight-to-quality vehicles.''
Confidence to Revive
The efforts of governments and central banks worldwide may restore investor confidence in ``weeks,'' Gross said. The U.S. and other nations have agreed to spend almost $3 trillion to rescue banks imperiled by the credit crisis. The Treasury on Oct. 14 said it plans to buy $250 billion of shares in U.S. banks and offer guarantees on new debt.
Rates on three-month Treasury bills, viewed as a haven because of their short maturities, rose 61 basis points for the week to 0.79 percent, the highest level since Oct. 7.
The S&P 500 Index climbed 4.6 percent, the most since February, capping a volatile week for equities. Investor Warren Buffett said he's buying stocks. Writing in the New York Times, he said ``a simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. And most certainly, fear is now widespread.''
Traders added to bets the Fed will cut borrowing costs for a second time this month at its Oct. 29 meeting to bolster the economy. Futures on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday showed traders saw a 38 percent chance the Fed will cut its target rate for overnight bank loans by a half-percentage point to 1 percent at its Oct. 29 meeting. The odds were 28 percent a week earlier. The rest of the bets were for a quarter-point reduction.
Signs of Thawing
Reports showed the economy slowing. Construction of single- family homes plunged to the lowest level in 26 years, the Commerce Department said yesterday. Industrial production fell last month by the most in almost 34 years, the Fed said Oct. 16, and retail sales declined in September for a third month, the longest in at least 16 years, Commerce said Oct. 15.
Even so, money markets exhibited signs of thawing. The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for borrowing in dollars overnight fell for a sixth day yesterday, slipping 27 basis points, to 1.67 percent. That's the lowest level since September 2004.
The difference between what banks and the Treasury pay to borrow money for three months, the so-called TED spread, fell 1 percentage point last week to 3.63 percentage points. It was 4.64 percentage points on Oct. 10.

US Dollar: Depression Fear is watered down by trillions of money printing presses.

US Dollar is hesitating at retesting resent High. Black cross is an indecision by the market players. Everything is ready for gravity to make its work. Fundamental reason for recent US Dollar rally is a Depression Fear, Buying of Treasuries as a safe heaven during banking crises. Now it will be substutute overnight by inflation Fear, dollar will go down, Treasuries will sell off. Gold, Silver and Commodities will come back. I must say that I am very impressed with Mr Secretary of Treasury. Using technical means of manipulation in the currency markets, trashing Gold and Silver by PPT allowed to crash commodities and to bring market so fast to the important bottom that now we can speak about the value in General market companies oversold by Fear. Well done. Know your "enemy", not everybody will make it through all these manipulations.

You can not manipulate markets forever, something has to give. This time it will be Treasuries US Dollar.

First Fear is coming Down: banks are safely nationalised by FIAT printing presses. Second Greed come back after Panic: Public is getting on the buying mode in Equities. Third money will start to flow in the economy and the wise money will look for a value in a coming inflation tsunami. We need just 1% of global equity market into Gold, Silver and Junior mining to launch our rocket to the new highs.

Double Bottom Must be confirmed by Fear Index - VIX is staging a reversal.

Yesterday was formed strong Bearish Hammer. Today is the day to paint the chart for Programme trades to start buying. Once PPO will make a cross over VIX will drop like a stone and Greed will take place from Fear. I was right to take profit on Google GOOG puts and is open to market rally now. I will revisit fundamentals on Google later.

Buffet is Buying Equities, Dow has retested Low and is forming Double Bottom Reversal.

Coming election is a too big stake not to use all available resources: people's memory is very short - couple of weeks maintained rally and they will be happy again. Is it right? I do not know, but they will give it a try. Buy value, real assets. Equities buying will pop up the Treasury Bubble, "safe heaven" currency US Dollar will go down, all hard assets will be up.

Now I am in a good company:

" Warren Buffett Says Now Is the Right Time to Buy U.S. Equities

Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Warren Buffett said he's buying U.S. stocks and, if prices stay attractive, his personal investments, as distinct from his stake in Berkshire Hathaway Inc., will soon be wholly in American equities.
Writing in the New York Times, he said he's following the principle: be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.
Exaggerated concern about the long-term prosperity of the many sound U.S. companies is foolish, and most will probably be setting profit records in years to come, Buffett said.
While short-term stock-market movements can't be foretold, the likelihood is that the market will recover before the economy or general investor sentiment do so, and ``if you wait for the robins, spring will be over,'' he said.
Referring to the 1930s depression, Buffett pointed out that the Dow reached its nadir on July 8, 1932; economic conditions continued to deteriorate until Franklin Roosevelt became president in March, 1933, but by that time the market had climbed 30 percent.
Bad news, Buffett concluded, is an investor's best friend, for it enables you to buy ``a slice of America's future at a marked-down price.''

China still going strong

"For the moment at least, China's exporters have defied slumping US and European economies as the annual Christmas supply period ramps up.
Figures released Monday night in Beijing reveal that to the surprise of commentators, September was an all time record for exports.
China's trade surplus hit a record $US29.3 billion last month as exporters defied all the forecasts of falling international demand.
Exports rose 21.5% year-on-year last month compared with 21.1% in August.
In dollar terms, exports in September totalled $US136.4 billion, while imports grew 21.3% to $US107.1 billion, even though the price of oil and many metals has fallen with the slump in global commodity prices."

Highest budget deficit ever.

Do you hear that sinking sound, it is Safe Heaven currency giving up...

"Red ink hits $454.8 billion in 2008, more than double that of 2007; economists say bailout to weigh on next year.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The federal budget deficit soared to $454.8 billion in 2008 as a housing collapse and efforts to combat the economic slowdown pushed the tide of government red ink to the highest level in history.
The Bush administration said Tuesday the deficit for the budget year that ended Sept. 30 was more than double the $161.5 billion recorded in 2007.
It surpassed the previous record of $413 billion set in 2004. Economists predicted a far worse number next year as the costs of the government's rescue of the financial system and the economic hard times hit the government's balance sheet."

China September copper imports up 20 pct on better margins. AUY, MAI.v, TNR.v

"HONG KONG, Oct 14 (Reuters) - China's imports of unwrought copper and semi-finished copper products rose 20 percent in September on the month, as merchants increased spot imports on attractive margins. Prices of spot refined copper in China were higher than costs of imported material for much of the month, a turnaround from previous months, as low imports previously had reduced supply and supported prices. 'This should give the market a boost. The market was expecting a rise, given the arbitrage. This signals that there is still interest in copper in China,' said Mark Pervan, senior commodities analyst at ANZ. 'We still need another month or two of data to confirm a trend, as this might just be a bounce after the Olympics.' The world's top copper consumer imported 213,782 tonnes of unwrought copper in September, including anode, refined and alloy, and semi-finished copper products, versus 178,047 tonnes in August. 'The increase was due to improved price ratios last month,' Wang Danping, an analyst at Jinrui Futures, said. 'Of the imports, we believe refined copper imports should be around 100,000 tonnes,' she said. Wang's estimated refined copper imports would be about 15 percent higher than August's."

Zinc CZX.v: Oversupply dream is out of the picture.

No Supply expansion, no inventory, once financial system shows signs of life Zinc will be ready for second parabolic ride.

Major zinc mine cutbacks and closures

"Oct 14 (Reuters) - Rising costs and falling prices have forced a growing number of zinc miners to announce cost-cutting measures, cutbacks or even closures at high-cost operations.
Other producers have delayed projects or said the future of their operations is under review.
Below are details of the major announcements which have been made in recent months.
Oct 9 - Strategic Resources Acquisition (SRA) said it would be initiating a temporary care and maintenance programme at its wholly-owned Mid-Tennessee zinc mining complex (MTZ). The company said that since production began at the Gordonsville mine in April 2008, cash costs per pound of payable zinc had been well above prevailing commodity prices.
Sept 26 - The Galmoy zinc-lead mine in Ireland, owned by Lundin Mining will begin a three-year phased shutdown in December, a union spokesman said. The mine produces about 70,000 tonnes of zinc metal.
September 18 - Australian miner OZ Minerals Ltd OZL.AX , 1.375, +0.195, +16.530%) said it plans to cut zinc production at its Golden Grove mine in Australia by 35-40 percent in 2009 as prices tumble, instead upping output of copper. The company said it plans to cut zinc output by 50,000 tonnes in 2009.
September 8 - Intec Ltd INL.AX , 0.020, +0.003, +17.650%) said it had suspended operations with immediate effect at its Hellyer Zinc Concentrate Project, citing several reasons including low zinc prices and rising production costs.
August 29 - Angus & Ross Plc said it has delayed further construction at its Black Angel mine in Greenland until next year, due to delays in securing project financing.
August 25 - Blue Note Mining said it is deep into the process of cutting costs at its Caribou lead-zinc mines in Canada. The company will reduce its workforce from 370 during the first half of 2008 to 300 in the second half of the year. Costs will also be cut through other measures such as optimisation of production activities.
August 21 - HudBay Minerals Inc said it is closing the Balmat, New York zinc mine and concentrator on Aug 22 because of low prices for the metal. The mine, which restarted in January 2007, was earlier expected to produce at around full capacity of 60,000 tonnes per year (tpy) of contained zinc in 2008.
August 21 - Australia's Perilya Ltd PEM.AX , 0.245, +0.020, +8.890%) said it will cut its zinc production by almost half in the face of low metals prices and will wait for a rebound in the commodities cycle before resuming full operations. Mining of ore this year from the firm's Broken Hill deposit will almost halve to 950,000 tonnes, a level forecast to yield 55,000 tonnes of contained zinc compared with 91,000 tonnes a year earlier.
August 14 - Strategic Resources Acquisition Corporation said in its third quarter results that, as at June 30, 2008, its mining operations were not profitable near term on a sustainable basis. This assessment was based on results of mining operations, including costs of mining and recoveries and prevailing zinc and zinc concentrate prices. The company said it needed to raise additional financing and/or refinance its short-term debt to enable it to remain in operation beyond October 2008. SRA revised its production forecast for calendar 2008 to about 25 million lbs of payable zinc versus previous estimates of about 100 million lbs, citing delays and lower than expected productivity and mill recovery during production ramp-up.
August 7 - Lundin Mining announced in its second quarter results a $152.7 million impairment charge on its Aljustrel zinc mine in Portugal. The company said it was reviewing its options for the mine and said there could be further impairment charges. It expects to make a decision on the mine's future before the end of the third quarter. Options include a possible early extraction of known copper resources at the site. Aljustrel is in start-up mode and produced less zinc than expected in the quarter.
July 17 - Australia's Aim Resources AIM.AX , 0.015, +0, +0%) said plans to dig the Perkoa zinc mine in Burkina Faso have been scrapped due to funding problems linked to depressed zinc prices. At full capacity the mine would have produced around 82,000 tpy of zinc in concentrate.
July 14 - Teck Cominco Ltd said it would close the Lennard Shelf lead-zinc mine in western Australia in August. The company said rising costs, lower prices and a stronger Australian dollar had made it uneconomical. The mine, which was brought out of care and maintenance in early 2007, had been scheduled to remain in operation until 2011. Mine had been expected to produce around 70,000 to 80,000 tpy of contained zinc.

Cost of Bailout: The 2009 budget deficit could be close to $2 trillion, US Dollar will collapse.

"Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The global financial crisis is turning into a bigger drain on the U.S. federal budget than experts estimated two weeks ago, ballooning the deficit toward $2 trillion.
Bailouts of American International Group, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac likely will be more expensive than expected. States are turning to Washington for fiscal help. The Federal Reserve said this week it will begin buying commercial paper, the short- term loans companies used to conduct day-to-day business, further increasing costs. And analysts now say the $700 billion bank- rescue plan passed by Congress last week may have to be significantly larger.
``I always assumed they would be asking for more money along the way if it was necessary, and it looks like it's going to be necessary,'' said Stan Collender, a former analyst for the House and Senate budget committees, now at Qorvis Communications in Washington. ``At the moment, there's nothing happening here that's positive for the budget. Nothing.''
The 2009 budget deficit could be close to $2 trillion, or 12.5 percent of gross domestic product, more than twice the record of 6 percent set in 1983, according to David Greenlaw, Morgan Stanley's chief economist. Two weeks ago, budget analysts said the measures might push deficit to as much as $1.5 trillion.
Yields to Rise
That means a lot more borrowing by Treasury, which will push up interest rates, said Greenlaw. ``The Treasury's going to be ramping up supply dramatically over the course of coming months to meet this enormous federal budget obligation,'' Greenlaw told Bloomberg this week. ``The supply will trigger some elevation in yields.''
Treasuries have fallen the past four days even as stocks sank, a sign investors are preparing for bigger U.S. government borrowing. Benchmark 10-year note yields rose to 3.82 percent at 7:49 a.m. in New York, from a close of 3.45 percent Oct. 6. "

China approves rural reforms to boost economy. FXI

BEIJING, Oct 12 (Reuters) - China's Communist Party on Sunday approved rural reforms aiming to unleash the economic power of hundreds of millions of farmers, as it looks to home markets as a bulwark against the global financial crisis.
The country's leaders huddled together with experts and farmer representatives during a four day conclave, with results delivered only after it closed and President Hu Jintao made a report.
'The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on Sunday approved a decision on major issues concerning rural reform and development,' the official Xinhua agency said, in a report that gave no further details.
But a torrent of recent speeches and reports have already made clear the leadership is intent on lifting the income and productivity of China's 740 million-plus farming population in a bid to boost domestic growth and ease social unrest.
'The global credit crisis freezing up the world's finances may be a blessing in disguise for China as it aims to modify its economic structure after three decades of breakneck growth,' Xinhua said in a commentary on Sunday.
'The government turned to the vast rural market, which has 55 percent of the nation's consumers,' the report added, before mentioning the leadership meeting and the reforms it passed.

Amex Gold Bugs Index HUI and Dow relations during Last Dot.com Bubble. Gold shares are still in a Bull Market.

Few interesting observations: HUI is still up from its Low 36.01 (!!!) in late 2000 more then 589% at 248.12 at this Friday close. Emotions will let you think that everything was collapsing in the same irrational fashion moved by Fear with its indicator VIX as high as 76.94 on Friday afternoon. But from chart above you can see that Gold miners HUI are still in a Bull market, testing strong support at 200-250 area and performed a Double Bottom on a daily chart. So far Goldies HUI has given up from its high 514.89 (total increase of 1330%!!! from its Low in 2000) 52% of its incredible gains. With General Equities represented by Dow the situation is very much different: recent sell off has wiped out almost all gains from its last Low at H&S bottom formation around 8000 after Dot.com Bubble burst in late 2002. Now you can see why it was so important for PPT (Plunge Protection Team) to defend 8000 level and they smashed shorts into covering in late Friday afternoon. (That piece was written in middle of the day on Friday, they must be reading my Blog now, I do not mind: Guys please stop messing around and let the US Dollar go, leave a message and even I will tell you how to bring Gold into the Honest money again. Question is who would like or can afford to be Honest these days?) It is the last chance to keep Dow Paper Bull running in Equities with painting Double Bottom on multi year chart with Lows around 8000 mark. The question is that the real value is slipping away with US Dollar losing its ground. Gold value of Dow in 2002 and in 2008 at the same 8000 level are too very different things.

I am very cynical and biased here, I went long last week at my maximum and cut all my Put protections from downside. I am 100% Long for the first time in last five years. So I am eating my own bread as usual. Even my fellow Google GOOG deserve a break now from my accusation on overvaluation. Possibility of a powerful rally even in General Equities is too high to be greedy on picking the last 10-20% from the downside. You can not manipulate markets forever and charts above are the best confirmation. Bull is a Bull in Goldies HUI and painted Paper Bull in Dow is at the life support.

Next drama will be unfolded in The Treasury Bubble: all lemmings (this time professionals) are there sitting at the cliff. Once patient (world financial system) will be pronounced more alive then dead and Risk will come back into play, "Risk Heaven" of Treasuries "backed" by more then 10 trillion debt and coming Paper for financing all these bailouts will collapse. Tripple AAA rating of USA Treasuries is backed no more then Trust and it will never come back. Last Friday action was really astonishing with Equities collapsing, Treasuries were sold as well, Gold and Silver were trashed to give more legs to Dead Cat bounce in US Dollar.

On the charts above picture is telling more then thousand words. Goldies HUI were panished by Fear during initial sell off after Dot.com collapse, but bottomed in late of 2000 and never looked back. Dow on the other hand was making low lows until late 2002. Incoming flood of liquidity will bring Gold shares value back in line with underlining commodity and then they will finally decouple from misery of over leveraged financial economy build on borrowed time. This time is over.

Some initial ideas how to play this coming collapse of Treasury Bubble for your study.

P.S. I have one follower now! Who is it? Is it Ben or Hank? Guys I have a nice landing spot in my garden, send me couple of choppers, please. I will give you discount from my gold mines when you will come back to Gold Standard.

DIA, SPY, QQQQ, HUI, XAU, CDNX, SLW, SSRI, AUY, RGLD, ABX, NEM, GG, SST.v, TNR.v, CZX.v, SAX.to, OK.v, FVI.v.

Time is to Buy Equities: 30 Year Treasury Yield TYX hit the Double Bottom? Treasury Bubble Collapse is in the making.

We have here very interesting and important formation. TYX 30 Year Treasury Yield has hit double bottom at 3.895% and 3.897 respectively. I already have mentioned what kind of joke is it to buy 30 Year Treasury Paper of USA with 10 trillion debt and counting for the interest below 4%? Mr Market seems to agree for now and with recent panic during last week 30 Years Treasury actually fall in prices, they suppose to rise when investors are shifting out from Equities into "Safe" Treasuries. For me it is another indication that market is ready to turn up. Only professionals are investing in 30 Year Treasuries to match their maturity on obligations. So there is a sign that they were selling treasuries during retail panic and Fear collapsing the prices in equities. When all these guys will run for an exit we will have a fireworks in Gold and Silver and waterfall in Treasuries and US Dollar. Supply and Demand will rule in normal economics here. It is a very big market and can not be so easily manipulated like in Equities, Gold and Silver which particularly could be turned on a dime.

What kind of Equities to buy? Simple and solid. Hard assets. Why touch financials if you can not figure out what kind of value is there and what kind of strings in the form of "Swaps made by Play Station kids" are attached. Most of them are insolvent anyway. They will not collapse now as a system guaranteed by printing presses of all developed world, credit could start flow again with Interbank Guarantee from the same FIAT money supply. But what kind of value you are getting there? Earnings will be diluted with all capital increase necessary for solvency, financial models will change to simplified ones and suppression of margins will make these guys a bleak investment story for another 5-10 years. I will go as usual for the Hard assets needed by those who have cash, which is the King now. Story should be simple, on one page and understandable in five minutes. All those CDS, CDO and CTNs "Close To Nothing" with AAA rating are finished for another 10 years until new suckers will be born into the market place. The secret for the wealth building will be same old as during centuries: Buy at the rock bottom prices things that are necessary for growing population and developing world, sit on them and develop value during coming Boom times when Greed will be in play again. Retail panic and redemption from Hedge Funds (I still can not get what they were hedging all this years - their Villas from Bagholders?), Mutual Funds (managers are having fun all they way and you are Mutually sharing losses during the hard times) has brought unbelievable value to Resource sector. Do not get me wrong, Supply and Demand all the way and if Raul Castro will be elected in USA in Depression and Congress will be rationing Soap my theory will not work.

In all other circumstances Buy when "the blood on the street" we are here and Fear is so strong that babies are thrown away even without bath water.

Majors will appreciate first ones credit will be flowing again: Yamana Gold AUY growing producer with assets in Americas and low cash cost, Silver Wheaton SLW highly leveraged to Silver recovery with fixed cost for Silver streams at 4.0 USD, Silver Standard SSRI upcoming producer with huge resources in the ground.

General public will hit back on all names ones will be assured that the End of the World is postponed: NEM, ABX, GG, FCX, BHP, RTP.

Fortunes will be made in Juniors if you can manage to stay solvent before you get rich. Good homework is a must here. Margin is all but a swearing in the Church in this sector: you will have enough adrenaline without it, you can trust me on this one.

Silver Stone SST.v small brother of Silver Wheaton SLW - can I dream selling it at over 3.0 CAD that stock will be missing me so much that will make all way back to 0.7CAD? Hardly, I am not even close to be so clever here. But it is here dating me again and I have checked all background and apart from dumping by funds who bought it at 2.9 CAD latest PP could not find any Evil.

TNR Gold TNR.v back to 0.15CAD from 0.12 CAD during sell off, but try to buy something for 500k you will drive it all the way back to 0.25-0.3CAD before collapse in the Canadian Venture.

Interesting view on mining Argentina is here.

And here is a very important observation for Junior markets. Stocks are at the level of 2003 when Juniors took off and performed 5-10 times rally into 2005. All these years they have spent billions on exploration, found deposits, defined resources and even start building mines. Literally value were build in the ground and they are back to the level when they were dreaming about The Bull Market.

Canada Zinc Metals CZX.v we have a very special relationship here. It is a recovery story and contrarian play on Zinc. Just tell me when when the housing will recover (we will not talk about China for a while) - 2, 3, 5 years. I am even OK with 5 years here - you will not put a mine even if you start looking for Zinc now. Once the dust will settle Zinc will recover from 0.6 USD - it is the level of closing mines, 0.75 is a cut off for Chinese smelters. All these calculated Oversupply will never come at this level and half of the big deposits are in Afganistan, Iran, Russia and Africa. Thank you very much, I do like Canada and 10% Zinc grade and 50 million t deposit next to Akie surrounded by CZX.v land.

Amex Gold Bugs Index HUI previous Low Holds during waterfall.

We have a good chance to make a double bottom if previous Low at 234.35 will hold. Friday was just a waterfall dumping of all positions. PPT tried hard to bring markets into positive close last Friday as I have wrote in the middle of the session. DOW 8000 is the line in the sand and 0.82 is a crucial for US Dollar. Gold and Silver were trashed to make the Us Dollar rally more legs. Something coming on over the weekend. Rate Cut and more money pumping as Interbank Guarantee comes to mind. ABX, NEM, RGLD, AUY, SSRI, SLW

Last Silver Bullet. Fed rate cut. Interbank guarantee. Where is the PPT?

Where the hell is PPT (Plunge Protection Team)? On vacation or busy trashing Gold and Euro in order to keep US Dollar alive after over the weekend Cut? Plan could be: to defend 8000 on the Dow and close into the positive tonight, Cut over the weekend and issue the blanket guarantee for interbank market. Market will fly next week. If the plan does not work: in the cards will be closing the markets and announcing banking holiday. Price is too big to fail. Today's valuations for stocks not exposed to financial WMD are totally irrational and based on Fear. If their plan works fortunes will be made. Public as always late to Sell. You will see PPT at work when DOW and S&P will move straight up. They let shorts to short yesterday and short covering will bring fire into the play. Gold is like a fishing rod today again, best buy.
