Big newsletter writers still out of the trade- an example
OK tenters, here is what I have been talking about. Masses and masses on the sidelines either short or lurking from the sidelines. Larry Edelson is one of the big writers out there along with Jack Chan and they are totally flat footed. I am linking an article below but here are some highlights dated July 13th:
I know a lot of my followers are chasing gold and silver and mining shares now. And I can tell you with near certainty, that if you are, you’re going to end up losing a lot of money.
I would not want to be heavily long precious metals or miners looking at this chart. It’s showing the potential for a steep slide into October.
What to do if you’re heavily long gold, silver or miners? If it were me, I’d take my profits. If you’re reluctant to do so, for whatever reason, at least hedge your holdings with inverse ETFs such as DUST for mining shares … GLL for gold and ZSL for silver.

Yea, hedge with DUST….that’s the ticket, we have seen how well that works right.
and from Jack Chan’s latest public update of July 18th:
Gold sector cycle – is now down.
Investors should consider accumulating gold stocks/ETFs at the next cycle bottom.
This is fuel for the upside my friends
Those “experts” actually charge folks for that advice?
The tone of that update is just so arrogant.
Looks like he has his own Socrates / HAL 9000:
“Simply look at my latest Artificial-Intelligence Neural Net (AI) forecast of the gold data and cycles, based on thousands of data points and combined in billions of ways to come up with the most accurate forecast.”
We all know how that ends!!
Here’s Larry on March 16, 2016

” There is more carnage coming in the precious metals — and it’s already causing the next crash in the mining sector.
Yes, you heard that right. With very rare exceptions, most miners are about to be toppled over again. They’re likely to give up as much as 100% of their recent gains, if not more.”
Larry did call the bottom correctly but has been out or short since early March:
“Because that is how bull markets are built. They climb higher, then selloff, then climb higher yet again. Rarely, if ever, do real bull markets go straight up (or real bear markets go straight down).
It’s just one of those things that most investors never understand, mentally or emotionally. “
Candidly I do not focus on other people being wrong….Only on me being right!
Hopefully the other people being wrong will be the ones buying our shares near the top of phase 1… 😉
