GDX as an out of money call on gold Graphic_rating_buy GDX

 +72.48%

I expect the GDX ETF to perform very well in 2009, as it behaves almost as a call option on the price of gold. I believe the debasement of the US dollar will lead to higher price of gold, as well as the decline in gold production. Currently many gold producers are traded extrmely low. The gold spot per GDX ratio is around 23 right now. I believe it will drop significantly. Within 2009, I believe the ETF will trade above 120$, unless the Obama administration will turn to gold confiscation or something whacky like that (ok, it's not that whacky considering it happened in 1934).

in GLD is 9, i think that the gold sellers are running ahead of themselves
i have to keep some gold to hedge against weak USD and inflation, so i do not have much options here, but DGP can be interesting to consider.

also IWM - too many open call positions considering that IWM is about the same level it was last three months

The GDX Vectors Gold Miners renko 60-minure chart signaled a buy, this time not via the CCI but by the parabolic SAR moving back under the pattern. This did not get you out of the short with the maximum gain but still worked well for an automatic system.

John Paulson Set to Launch Gold (GLD) Hedge Fund
Tradermark
34%
I keep looking for something that marks at least an intermediate term top in gold, i.e. a "magazine cover" indicator aka when everyone is on the same side of the trade and even your barber starts talking up gold stocks.   This doesn't mean the thesis is not correct in the long run, but let's keep an eye out.


<>The latest bit of "piling on" in the gold trade is infamous hedge fund manager John Paulson - who already holds enormous amounts of gold in his main fund (over 8% of the entire SPRD Gold Shares (GLD) ETF!) - opening a gold specific hedge fund, partially just to find a place to protect...

"The commodities bull market has further to run," says Martin Hutchinson. In Money Morning, he looks to four ETFs to play gold, silver, and base metals as well as coal.

"As long as the world's central banks continue to interest rates at these very low levels, speculative interest in commodities will be strong. And since only minor central banks yet show signs of moving rates, the commodities bull market has further to run.

"There are three reasons why commodity prices have been rising, and they’re all still true:
