Silver just reached our stop-loss level, but since it was the only part of the precious metals market that moved sizably higher and miners reversed in a profound way, it seems that it was the final confirmation of the top. Consequently, we think that re-opening the positions with a slightly higher ($15.63) stop-loss level for silver is currently justified from the risk to reward point of view.
As always, we will keep you - our subscribers - informed.
To summarize:
Trading capital (supplementary part of the portfolio; our opinion): Full short positions (250% of the full position) in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective with the following stop-loss orders and exit profit-take price levels:
Gold: profit-take exit price: $1,062; stop-loss: $1,303; initial target price for the DGLD ETN: $82.96; stop-loss for the DGLD ETN $45.87
Silver: profit-take exit price: $12.32; stop-loss: $15.63; initial target price for the DSLV ETN: $47.67; stop-loss for the DSLV ETN $27.78
Mining stocks (price levels for the GDX ETF): profit-take exit price: $13.12; stop-loss: $21.82; initial target price for the DUST ETF: $80.97; stop-loss for the DUST ETF $21.97
Note: the above is a specific preparation for a possible sudden price drop, it does not reflect the most likely outcome. You will find a more detailed explanation in our August 1 Alert. In case one wants to bet on junior mining stocks’ prices (we do not suggest doing so – we think senior mining stocks are more predictable in the case of short-term trades – if one wants to do it anyway, we provide the details), here are the stop-loss details and target prices:
GDXJ ETF: profit-take exit price: $17.52; stop-loss: $31.23
JDST ETF: initial target price: $154.97 stop-loss: $51.78
Long-term capital (core part of the portfolio; our opinion): No positions (in other words: cash)
Insurance capital (core part of the portfolio; our opinion): Full position
Thank you.
