Dear Friends,
You might recall about a week ago when I commented that if you trade gold you use more balls than TA. You may have also noticed gold ceased its decline within pennies of $887.50. I trust you have seen or printed out the Angels and known that Angel was there. This site is read by powerful traders on all sides so you need to understand my reluctance to report prices I have already given you. The specifics of last week were a test and it certainly worked. It told me there is no question what I told you above is absolutely correct about our readership.
Is there any question concerning the fact that Angels exist and are the magnets of this market? $1050 will come, as will $1650. If I am wrong in any way it is not that $1650 will not occur but that this Angel is much too conservative. I have told you already exactly, carefully, and often where gold goes next before crossing $1000. I have already wagered that I am correct. I do not lack self confidence. When you gain self confidence then you will be the master of your self, needing no one. Self confidence is not confidence of the ego, it is confidence in the self within you
Mark my word, gold shares will outperform gold - in the final analysis. The hedge funds have been long the Barrick-types, overpricing them for this time and short the others, significantly underpricing them but not yet making cover. Remember a short can feel pain. The shorts by their clever power play have created what is akin to a stretched rubber band about to snap back in their face. When the short bombs a share as they did yesterday then today runs into a 1,000,000 plus buyer, even the dumbest has to start to get the message. Rest assured the shorts in secondary precious metals shares will scramble for cover as yesterday they spit big time directly into the wind. I bought this week.
ex.... another old Gold Mine Story: I been in since Rob wanted to make a wildcat hole - from the bottom -
a short snibbet from it -
At the end of 1994, the Red Lake Mine - in Northwestern Ontario was a marginal operation.
Whilst it had operated since 1948, it had been starved of capital and its performance had always been over-shadowed by its “wealthy neighbor” to the west – the Placer Dome Campbell Mine.
Conventional wisdom said the Red Lake Mine - was finished an shut it down for it was out-mined they said -
Robert challenged this belief and at the beginning of 1995, a $7 million exploration program was initiated - that lead to the discovery of Goldcorp’s high-grade zone of gold mineralization.
This was announced in March 1995 and the grades were incredible – nine holes - averaging 9.08 ounces of gold per ton across 7.5 feet!
The mineralization was discovered at a depth and location previously thought to have no potential -
In 1996, the Red Lake Mine produced at an annualized rate of 53,000 ounces of gold at a cash cost of $360 per ounce.
At the same time the neighboring Campbell Mine - was one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world.
In 1996, it produced 320,000 ounces of gold, which was six times Goldcorp’s production.
Campbell Mine’s cash cost was $136 per ounce or only 38% of Goldcorp’s cost, and its gold reserves were almost three times larger than Goldcorp and the grade 68% higher.
Goldcorp’s high-grade gold discovery has grown to more than 4.4 million ounces of reserves.
It is forecast to produce 555,000 ounces of gold for the twelve months ended December 31st, 2005 at a cash cost of less than $100 per ounce.
Btw. to find gold - you start to look at - were it was found before - never degrade the old timers - they had to make a living - often with chisel and a sledge hammer - didn't stay to long if the pay was no good -
