An Update on Gold
Gold is confounding some investors at the moment. In this piece we mention that following two charts is helpful for Gold in US$. That is, we should follow Gold priced in foreign currencies as well as Gold against the S&P 500. Those two charts could help signal when Gold's next advance will begin.
Tiho Brkan: Gold Priced in Global Currencies
Great charts from Tiho on Gold priced in various currencies. Like my Gold/UDN chart in the editorial, these charts suggest Gold will move lower before a sustained recovery begins.

Premium: Global Market Charts
The Russell 2000 and Nasdaq may be topping out.
First is a chart of the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index. We plot the 5-year rate of change on top. Dating back to the creation of this index is 1984, this is the best 5-year performance ever. That is a sell signal, not a buy signal. Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that the PE ratio is 49x, which is higher than the 39x in the year 2000, a historic market top. The PE ratio must be at an all-time high.
Next is the Nasdaq. On top we plot, with a 10-day smoothing mechanism, the % of stocks above their 200-dma and we plot the amount of new highs. These are breadth indicators which function as warning indicators. They usually signal danger before the market itself declines. The Nasdaq has continued to rise while breadth has deterioriated as evidenced by the decline in new highs and the slow decline in the percent of stocks above the 200-dma.
So sell the Russell 2000 and Nasdaq and buy what?
Emerging Markets are going to outperform over the next 2-3 and 5 years. Valuations are very low (as we detail in the chart) and sentiment is quite negative. Emerging Markets are trading at 10-11x trailing earnings while the S&P is trading at more than 17x trailing earnings. Meanwhile, the Merrill Lynch Fund Managers survey showed that fund managers were at their lowest position (in emerging markets) since the survey began in
2001!
Technically, EEM's base is starting to strengthen. It ultimately could have a bit breakout past $47. If EEM breaks above the first resistance then we have to think that the lows are in and the 2011-2014 consolidation will resolve to the upside.
Premium: Gold Charts
With respect to Gold, another thing to keep an eye on is open interest.
Here is a chart of Gold's open interest which has been declining for 3+ years and hit a 5-year low! Gold's next low will surely occur before open interest breaks its downtrend. Yet, breaking that line will confirm that Gold's bear market has ended. This is just one of a handful of charts we provided in our premium update, TDG #354, focusing on Gold's COT and bottoming patterns in comparable bear markets.
Next is a chart of our top 15 index. This is an equal weighted index of 15 of our favorite Gold & Silver stocks. The median market cap of the 15 is about $300M. Of the 15, 8 are producers, 4 are development companies and 3 are exploration companies.
We noted in TDG #354 sent out Tuesday that the top 15 index had 5-6% upside until the first resistance. We also noted that there is good support at 195-200 which is about 11%-13% downside from here.
One thing we are working on is a projection of the value of our favorite companies at various prices. We've used $1500 before but it will be interesting to line up our favorite companies and see what they could be worth at $1500, in the next year. Obviously its easier to project for some companies and difficult for others. We've begun updating company reports and finished three in the past week. When all are done, we will in a
single update, line up the companies and compare and contrast which have the strongest near-term potential and which have the strongest long-term potential. We don't just pick random numbers and targets. We study sector valuations and recent company valuations to provide reasonable target values at various Gold and Silver prices. This next few months will be very important to get positioned in the
appropriate companies with the best risk/reward. I've probably said that before but I believe it to be true again.
