What I wanted to share with you today is that I love when multiple analyses all point to the same outcome — natural gas prices rising.

Bitcoin Battle: Why Weiss Gives It a C+ Rating

Sell Five Positions to Prepare for the New Year
Like many retailers, Michael Kors Holdings (KORS) is closing stores. Unlike most, the stock is surging. There is good reason. The British company is finally getting back to its roots. After several years trying to appeal to the mass market, it is returning to the fat margin world of upscale brands. I added the stock to the […]
The last time miners were this cheap, they soared 1,371%! And history is about to repeat!
Gold continues to drift lower, just as our cycle forecast projected, with the most active December futures settling at $1,246.70 per troy ounce yesterday at the close of pit trading. And slumping further this morning to a low of $1,241.30. Likewise, silver is trading lower at $15.67 a troy ounce this morning. Still, gold has […]

With this service, we target S&P 1500 Composite Index (S&P 500, S&P 400 & S&P 600) additions. Your goal is to get “in” as quickly as you can after the announcement is made … then get “out” after huge index funds (mutual funds and ETFs) have made their purchases. As a reminder, you should only […]
Trade Alert: Nice Swing! Let’s Grab Gains on Gold …
Well, after a big down day, the price of gold has validated my bet I recommended to you with SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) December $120 Put options. Those puts swung from a deep loss last week and are showing a roughly 38% open gain today. Yeehaw! I think gold will continue moving lower next week. So, we could see […]
2018 Commodity Forecast: Time to Love the Hated?
Investors have strategies for making decisions. A common strategy for good investors — or at least those who love to tout their goodness — is to buy what’s hated. Sir John Templeton, a guy Money magazine named as the greatest stock-picker of the 20th century, characterized the opportunity to buy what’s hated as the “point of maximum […]
Here’s Why this Year’s Worst Performing Metal Could be First in 2018!
In 2018, the cycles forecast a major move to the upside for the entire precious metals complex, but naturally, some metals will perform better than others. Case in point, earlier this year I pointed out the big disparity between the performance of palladium vs. platinum prices. Historically, precious platinum had almost always traded at a premium to […]
An Update on Third Point Reinsurance
Third Point Reinsurance (TPRE) was added to the Pivotal Point portfolio in the middle of last month, and has struggled a bit since. No worries. The Bermuda company is the public investment vehicle of Dan Loeb, the billionaire activist hedge fund manager. The business prospects, and share price are nearing an inflection point. Reinsurance might not be […]
Historic Month for Gold. Plus, Get Ready to Grab Aluminum Gains
We have two trades with open gains and two with an open loss. Fortunately, the gains outweigh the losses. And I expect more upside ahead for each. Three of the four trades expire in January, so we have some time with those. However, one of the positions that is down expires at the end of […]
The Biggest Gold Discount in a Half-Century Signals the Next Big Buying Opportunity Coming Soon!
The S&P 500 has not pulled back more than 3% in price for nearly 400 days now. That’s the longest winning streak EVER in the history of the index without a correction. And last week was more of the same as both the Dow and S&P notched fresh record highs. But conspicuously absent from the […]
Nasdaq Reverses Direction, Sell QQQ Calls Now
Talk about a reversal of fortune…and not in a good way. Yesterday, the PowerShares QQQ ETF (QQQ) blasted out of the opening gate with a 97-point, or 0.6%, gain. But it lost all those gains and then some before closing with a 17-point loss. However, the rest of the stock market fared much better. The Dow Jones […]
China’s World Reserve Currency in a World of Its Own
Perhaps you caught it? About five weeks ago, in The Edelson Wave, I wrote Keeping the Faith in the US Dollar. I made the case the Chinese yuan has a difficult road ahead – STILL – if it is to unseat the U.S. dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency. I did, however, make a minor concession: […]
