MUX Surfs Up Lets Ride So Grab.....

your surfboard , Put on your Wettiewarmer and lets analyze some serious wave action Ok dudes & Babes. If you believe in Elliot Waves which many investors do. Then you will notice MUX has had a radical wave man. I am totally stoked with this gnarly stock so I am putting on my nannobenders and sausage sling and will try to explain this.

Grab a sandbank and analyze this wigged out wave with me and maybe we can grab some bagaroos.

Since that low zaboob at 2.99 the wave has risen to 5.00 and we have not biffed yet. Can you dig brah dude man.
Just don't let them crabs pinch your feet and don't jump off or you will be on the bourbons and that could be a real kook move.
I don't think they are going to do a whoopsdangit.

There are some people who swear by Elliott Wave analysis, (and I belong to that tribe!). Briefly, Elliott Wave theory states that an impulse wave in a uptrend will be made up of five sub waves. Waves 1, 3 and 5 are all movements in the direction of the trend, with the third wave being the most powerful. Waves 2 and 4 are counter-trend movements as they serve to correct the immediately preceding wave.The importance of this formation is when we get a fourth wave later on, (once the 3rd wave is completed and before the 5th wave starts), that correction will likely be a simple formation. Elliott Wave principle states that corrections tend to alternate between simple and complex patterns. As a trader, this is an important clue, because you can add to your longs when you get the fourth wave dip.

When you spot a third wave rally unfolding, and you know the trend is strong, You will anticipate the ending point for the 3rd wave by doing some simple calculations. You will measure the distance traveled by the 1st wave, and compute what 161.8% of this will be. Next, you will add that number to the starting point of the 3rd wave.!

So my fellow surfers we are still in wave #1 I assume but may wrong if you want to count the blip a couple days ago

Good Morning


This post inspired this morning after watching Warren Buffetts song " IM a working on the railroad"
If he can wig out and laugh and sing well so can I.

MUX McEwen Mining Retracement Rally Underway

The real test will be if it can rise above it's 200 day moving average of 5.64 and if that happens the all time high of 9.87 will be in jeopardy of being shattered.

This stock is currently experiencing their biggest breakout since January 2009.

Due to there latest merger with Minera Andes which took place last Friday January 19

I'm going out on a limb here and predicting a listing price of over 8.00 The real listing price should be announced this week IMO

They have one giant helper driving them which is gold itself which is currently in it's retracement rally on it's way to breaking the 200 day moving average.

Now That's Great Radio Cifikea 5 Stars in my Book

Very realistic and their hosts really have a market Marconi Award Winning stock radio show in the making here.

Of course the main highlight and the most insightful stock mentioned was UXG.

I will be listening to this stock radio broadcast for years to come.

J D 400

Hey penny 2 rules of thumb
1. Always choose a gold stock that the CEO has heavily invested in himself and with his own money Like MUX, Mr. McEwen has over 110 million of his own money in it.

2. Stick with the Americas. For instance Africa announced just last week that they could not supply electricity for all gold mining firms there. Russia not good either. They will only bring them down.

I would move over here. You will recoup your losses quickly as I did here a couple of years ago. when it went from 3 to 9.

Now I have that and the kitchen sink in this just like our CEO.

This MUX no brainier has 50 dollars a share written all over it. see gold corps history Rob built that.

UXG/MUX Investor Sentiment At Extreme lets look at

some of the drivers we can observe now and in the near term.

All IMO Not Investment Advice

First thing is that this stock is yellow metal driven.
And gold is not losing it's luster with all the turmoil the world is going through now. I think it is safe to say that it will reach 2,000 by the end of the year.
That this month is setting the tone for the rise of gold in the next 11 months. Gold is still at it's 11 year bullish up trend.

Silver who's risk reward is better than gold benefits from any type of market shifts. Markets are shifting this month to at least seem stronger and improving which will increase it's huge flight to safety as it did last year. I think it's safe to say silver will remain getting stronger in the next 11 months to the 40 plus range

Copper, the demand metal I call it, It needs home building but has remained fairly strong with institution building and the early signs this year is home builders are experiencing a better volume now than they have seen in the last couple of years. So it's getting more bullish everyday just at a snails pace.

Mux as it is in it's infancy now is experiencing a 800 million market cap which opens up a significant growth possibility and with El Gallo coming on line mid 2012 revenue growth and near term M & A combined will keep MUX bullish pattern strong as it did gold corps back in the day. So I can not put a number on any resistance levels because it could be 8 next month but could be 12 the next even in the 20's by the end of the year. Nobody can call this. Safe not to sell. Just Be

Shorts took it in the shorts last week bad by selling the old UXG train and in order for them to ride the new MUX golden luxury liner will have to spend their profits to play again and pay taxes on their impatients.too boot. They will be much less willing to sell their short line railroad next time..

This is just name a few that comes to my mind.

My bottom line today is that their is tremendous support of growth for this company because of their CEO which makes this a one of a kind stock of a lifetime
I think this is the best investment one could ever make. Patients is the key with this one. The train does not even leave the depot till January 24. Until then they will continue selling tickets for the ride of a lifetime. We are only in the first inning of the first game and still a long season ahead.

The trouble now is most of us need money bad now. That the so called non-recession is really still in recession just getting better at a snails pace. So what I have done is put as much as I could in when it was at the 3.50 to 4.00 range. I buried it in a hole in the back yard and try to forget about it. Not that I don't dig it up to check on it every hour . Some say I am taking a big chance that this is just a spec play until it proves better and they may be right, However by that time alot of profits get lost watching it. But if their ever was a one this is the one for me.So far so good I'm loving watching my portfolio skyrocket which is one of the reasons I,m so exuberant on this. It pays to diversify and I have done that too. Just in case I'm wrong. Each to his own.

Have a great weekend

Minera Andes Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2011 San Jose Mine Production

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 18, 2012) - Minera Andes (TSX:MAI)(OTCBB:MNEAF) is pleased to announce production results for the year and quarter ending December 31, 2011 from its 49% owned San José Mine in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Highlights for the respective periods are listed below. Production costs will be announced with year-end and fourth quarter financial results, expected to be released in late March 2012.

HIGHLIGHTS

Silver production (100% basis) for the fourth quarter and year-end totaled 1,453,580 and 5,869,517 ounces silver.

Gold production (100% basis) for the fourth quarter and year-end totaled 20,934 and 80,952 ounces gold.

The average grade of ore processed during 2011 was 444.0 gpt silver and 5.86 gpt gold.

A total of 93,320 meters of exploration and infill/reserve drilling is planned at the San José Mine in 2012. This is the largest drill program in the history of the mine.

In addition, a 20,000 meter exploration drill program is underway at Minera Andes 100% owned properties adjacent to the San José Mine and Goldcorp's Cerro Negro Project.

Drilling at the Los Azules Copper Project is expected to resume by the end of January. A total of 8,000 meters has been planned in order to test the potential to increase the size of the resource.

"The San José Mine's silver and gold production for 2011 successfully met expectations and we are forecasting similar levels for 2012. This stable performance is expected to help finance the growth of the McEwen Mining (A proposed merger between Minera Andes and US Gold, where shareholders are scheduled to vote on January 19th, 2012). I am also pleased to announce that our partners at San José (Hochschild Mining - 51% owner and operator) are preparing to double the size of the exploration program for 2012," stated Rob McEwen, Chairman and CEO.

OPERATING RESULTS

Year ended Dec. 31, 2011

Production for the San José Mine during 2011 was 5,869,517 ounces silver and 80,952 ounces gold (100% basis), compared with 5,324,842 ounces silver and 84,303 ounces gold in 2010. Silver production increased during 2011, despite downtime related to a 2.5 week strike in the first half of the year and a scheduled 2 week maintenance program in the Fourth Quarter. The increased silver production was due to a 12% improvement in the silver head grade. The slight decrease in gold production was due to a 5% reduction in gold head grade and the downtime mentioned above. The average grade of ore processed at San José was 444.0 gpt silver and 5.86 gpt gold. This compared with 397.0 gpt silver and 6.14 gpt gold during 2010. The average silver and gold grade variation represents normal fluctuations within the veins being mined and also different areas being sourced for production.

The average mill recovery in 2011 for silver was 85.6% and 88.7% for gold. This is compared to 83.9% for silver and 86.9% for gold in 2010.

OPERATING RESULTS

4th Quarter ended Dec. 31, 2011

San José production during the Fourth Quarter was 1,453,580 ounces silver and 20,934 ounces gold (100% basis), compared with 1,871,440 ounces silver and 26,141 ounces gold during the Fourth Quarter, 2010. The decrease in silver and gold production during the Fourth Quarter was due to two factors: 1) operations at the San José Mine were closed during the last two weeks of 2011 in order to perform scheduled maintenance, which reduced throughput during the quarter and, 2) a decrease in silver and gold grades, which represents normal fluctuations within the mining sequence.

Minera said the fall in silver and gold grades that affected fourth-quarter production "represented normal fluctuations within the mining sequence."

UXGs Midnight Special Only Requisite "Just Be"

Just a ticket is all you need to board and enjoy this as lines deepen at the depot.

UXG gained .20 cents 4.45% to $4.69 today another great day in a string of many.

Investor sediment continues to strengthen rapidly as UXG inches towards Friday's merger and the much anticipated emergence of "McEwen Mining" is born. The "MUX" Midnight Special will be unveiled as Americas newest golden luxury liner . However it is not about the train. It is all about the conductor Rob McEwen gold corps former CEO who built that company .

So why is this any different from other gold miners. Because most of if not all of the major gold mining corporations are not sharing the wealth with there shareholders as the price of gold has increased dramatically in past years but their stock price does not rise with it accordingly.
Mr.McEwen believes if the price of gold rises that shareholder prices should rise right along with it with good company fundamentals in place.
That the majors have been filling up there treasures and their shareholders are left in the cold.

The next time you see the price of gold rise in the middle of the night you can bet your bottom dollar MUX will rise right along with it as many have predicted the price of gold to reach 2,000 by then end of 2012 and up to 5,000 in five years.
