Is anyone answering the phones at Bear Stearns? Hmmm.] The Hedgehog Trader Poll - A New Feature! Traders Wanted - Play $250,000 Fantasy Stock Market Game Sep 3: Takeover Fever! Hedgehog Trader does it again! Another one of our companies is taken over by Goldcorp! HHT Newsletter recommendation Andean Resources, which we recommended at $1 and change in 2008 (and have noted as a takeover candidate frequently) is now trading for over $7 as Goldcorp has made an offer at a 60% premium! Wow - a seven bagger! Forget the heavily marketed fluff from financial publications that spam your inbox every day. Powered by our Alpha Signals, Hedgehog Trader has racked up the most profitable gains for precious metal investors - thousands of percent in profit! I can't wait for our next recommendations. It looks like the next rise for gold and silver will be delayed til early next week. This is actually a more bullish development than if gold rose today ... Sep 2: Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert. Aug 31: Gold and Silver: TNT and Dynamite? Gold and silver are rocketing! We'll likely issue some new buys if we get a midweek dip ... Noon ... Our ETF and special opportunities advisory just sent out an alert. 9 am ... Our microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out an alert. Aug 30: Once the next few trading days are over we'll have a better idea of what to expect next from surging metal stocks the rest of the month, and we'll send a market update to our Hedgehog Trader Newsletter subscribers (HHT). Incidentally, I had a bit of a scare this weekend when I went to the Emergency Room with a kidney stone. Quite painful. But fortunately all is well. I did see a lot of very sick people in the ER, hooked up to IVs and waiting in beds, and it made me reflect on how lucky most of us are to have their health - and how fortunate it is not to have to think about health and hospitals on a daily basis. I wish you all good health! :) Aug 25: 2 pm HUI at 470 will provide guidance. If the HUI can't break past that we'll likely see a big dip. If we break above it, we'll see another major rise. Noon... as corrected on our Twitter feed, look for gold to continue higher as the HUI hadn't made enough of a move higher for a breather. 10:25 am ... Gold and metal stocks are moving up strongly. Alpha I suggests a rise until about 11:50 am, then a dip until 1:50 pm, and then a strong rise to end the day. Watch HHT Newsletter holding Golden Star Resources US: GSS, especially in the last 2 hours of trading! 9 am .... If metal stocks remain green into the open, the next two days could see another big rise for gold, silver and metal shares. If we get this rise, we expect a dip mid-Thurs through Friday. Aug 19: When gold turned around yesterday, we posted on Twitter (read widget above) that it could make a major rise and it has - more importantly metal stocks in our advisories are rocketing higher!! Aug 11: The Broad market got rocked and energy prices dipped, but gold and silver have held up nicely - gold surged higher this morning. Note that the smallest resource stocks have the best 4-5 months of the year ahead of them! Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers are seeing a special ETF recommendation rising strongly this week. Monday promises to be very interesting for this ETF! Watch our Twitter widget above for additional comments on the market! I'm doing a lot of research for all of our advisories, looking for newer and better opportunities and we may be making some changes in our portfolios in the near future. Stay tuned! Aug 6: Like a Bat Out of Hell! Gold is making a big rise late this week and those who have been following our Twitter comments above have profited from the rise of free blog pick NewGold Corp US: NGD, up 10% from its lows! Aug 5: Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) recommended a splendid but very tiny gold junior in our microcap advisory! Hedgehog Nuke (HHN) our uranium advisory, highlighted an excellent uranium junior ready to double! Aug 4: When Small is Big! Many of the small companies in Hedgehog Trader's advisories have begun to outperform their larger peers! And since most of our holdings are under $10 per share, that's one reason we haven't looked to sell positions for some time. In fact, one stock in our microcap Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) advisory shot up a massive 60% in one trading day this week! We are looking at a number of prospects and are likely to issue a few updates in the next week or so. July 30: 10:37 am ... August is usually a tough month for gold and commodities, so short-term traders may want to lighten positions near the end of the day. Have a nice weekend all! July 28: Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert yesterday afternoon. July 27: This morning Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert capturing a quick, one-week 8.5% gain on an energy stock! And our microcap advisory High Roller! (HHHR) closed a monster 76% gain on a small exploration company! July 25: Monday is going to be a very important day for gold, as I expect a really big move! Interestingly, tensions between North Korea and the US are increasing this weekend over some naval exercises. July 24: We haven't been very musical for a while. But as there's a Full Moon coming up Monday ... here's some classic Stevie Wonder to carry you through the weekend. July 23: Setting the Table If we see one more up-move for the broad markets tomorrow, then a lot of over eager shorts could be smoked and crushed! The Alphas are measuring a large move in the broad markets tomorrow. Also, please note that the Canadian Venture Exchange continues to rise this week as we forecast! Also, tomorrow (Friday!) will be very interesting for gold and should set the table for next week. If gold and silver rise strongly during the day tomorrow, then I think early next week could show a big correction. But if we get a correction tomorrow, then next week should see metal shares move up strongly. Action has been quite choppy because of Uncle Ben's market-swaying commentary on the economy this week. July 20: Alpha I suggests that the next big move for the Canadian Venture Exchange is going to be BIG - and that is going to be good for the gold and silver juniors and in particular our Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) advisory's holdings! Gold looks like its ready to do some interesting things, after reversing higher from $1175 yesterday. Our latest issue of Hedgehog Trader sets out the most likely scenario for gold and gold stocks. Note: Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert this afternoon. July 19: Our newsletter (HHT) should be out late tonight. We'll post here when it's been sent. HHT #30 was sent. For gold to reverse its skid, one sign we need to see is metal stocks to outperform on a down day for gold. Gold is dipping pre-market, so we should keep an eye on what the metal stocks do, since they tend to lead the price of gold.
