Mar 8: The Alphas are forecasting a HUGE percentage move for gold between 2 pm tomorrow (Tuesday) and Thursday noon.
Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) is zoning in on a couple of small uranium stocks about to ROCKET- and until Sunday night you can subscribe for just $69 - a $100 per year savings!
This year Hedgehog NUKE! was a steal for just $69, with gains of 76%, 56%, 56%, 50%, 43.4%, 36%, and 27% and just a couple of weeks ago, we capped things off with a 100% gainer! And with all that done, we still have a 100% gain open!
In fact, we bought our elite uranium stocks last February and March when pessimism was at its greatest - and what's interesting is that a similar situation is developing at this very moment.
Don't wait - our next smouldering ALERT goes nuclear very soon! Sign up here right away!
Mar 3: Subsequent to my blog posting (& Twitter Tweet on Feb 25th) and our new HHT Issue which highlighted our ELITE gold and silver stocks, gold rocketed to $1140! Gold now sits at resistance @ $1137.
Mar 1: Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out a new issue!
Feb 25: Gold - Screaming Higher Like A Bat Out of Hell!
Hedgehog Trader has returned. Our Signals suggest a MAJOR move higher for gold and the HUI over the next couple of days. Visit our twitter page for more updates at www.twitter.com/hedgehogtrader
This weekend we'll have more updates for subscribers.
Feb 17:
New Gold Research Report coming soon! We´re putting the finishing touches on a brand new gold report called Belle Gold - covering an undervalued $4 US-listed gold stock that Alpha I, II and III all suggest will SURGE over the next 4-5 weeks! Email us with ´Belle Gold´ in the subject line to be notified, when it is available!
Greetings from Quito, Ecuador!
We´re seeing metal prices continue to rise strongly today which is very constructive. I look forward being back in my office next week where I can be a lot more productive. (For instance, can anyone find that darned ´at´ key on a spanish keyboard??)
On a more serious note, I just wanted to add a few thoughts on smaller cap resource stocks and generally stocks under $1. Even though gold and silver have jumped up, many of these are still flat or modestly higher. This is normal. The next leg of the gold and silver rise will push these juniors up very strongly. They tend to lag the bigger caps and producers initially and then greatly outperform their big brothers (and sisters!). Actually, High Roller! (HHHR) our microcap advisory, saw one of its silver juniors ABSOLUTELY EXPLODE today and it´s just the start of an amazing run higher! It has BONANZA grade exploration and is a near term production story. And an easy double from here!
I also hope some people were able to read that billionaire George Soros was buying gold recently. So, where are all the half-wits now who were spewing forth about Elliot Wave patterns and gold falling to $800? They are quite clueless and are YET AGAIN left to explain to why their ´science´ was so wrong. I don´t mind so much that they are wrong so frequently, but I don´t like anyone who tries to instill fear in investors in order to sell a product. And sadly, there are lots of Doctor Dooms out there who claim to be independent but in fact are no wiser than the sheep on CNBC.
On a bullish note: we called the huge oil rally in our Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) publication and saw two of our top plays rise strongly. HSO is also home to one of the best performing gold stocks this year - it has made a massive $1 per share run in just a few days since its bottom and has generated huge gains for us this year! Hint: it´s not located in Canada, the US or Mexico but rather Asia!
Feb 16: I am writing from a small town in the coast of Ecuador, where I have learned landslides have blocked our return back to Quito today - quite an adventure! But I´m glad that our alerts to HHT, HSO and HHHR subscribers went out just in time - yesterday, as gold and silver are surging along with our metal and energy stocks!
Feb 12: Gold staged a big rally yesterday, and has strengthened in the last week or so. This recent action is very constructive for a rebound in the metals sector. But this is not likely to be a quick two day recovery, as metal stocks and prices will likely rise and fall in order to find their equilibrium over the coming weeks. But that said, hold current positions. In our next HHT Newsletter (HHT) update (either this weekend or next week) we will reiterate the period we suggested metals stocks would perform very well in. Nothing has changed on that front.
We are currently examining some bargain priced resource stocks ...
Feb 9: Today we finally saw gold break free from its chains and metal stocks moved up nicely. But following our outlook, we are likely to see a deep correction tomorrow. We will be sending out updates to subscribers within the next few days.
Feb 8: 2 pm ... Gold is so far not showing follow-through from its open, and ´if´ we see continued weakness until tomorrow afternoon, then we could see the rise we anticipated early this week shift to mid-week and if that occurs it would be a major rise, followed by a dip at week´s end.
Dear readers, I´m still in Quito, where I´ll be for a couple more weeks. But I think we´re going to see a rise for gold and metal stocks early this week, big correction midweek, and then a rise at the end of this week - and I think the Dow will follow the same path. Nevsun Mining US: NSU is a mining stock that I think is going to make some hay. I hope to put out some alerts later this week. And remember, as bad a correction as we´ve seen in gold and energy - that only creates more opportunities for investors. For once the bottom is put in, and shares rise again, a lot of sideline money will pile in. As they say, buy low ... sell high.
Feb 5: I´ve been in beautiful mountain-covered Quito, Ecuador for 48 hours and I see things have played out amazingly accurately in the gold and broad markets. Gold and the Dow zoomed higher early this week and then got a smackdown midweek just as we mentioned would happen. Gold staged a strong rebound late today and that is positive for our gold stocks - we are now much closer to a bottom in this correction.
This weekend, we´re going to complete some forecasts on both gold, and energy prices (energy stocks have been falling alongside gold stocks and Dow components - as the price of oil has also taken a dip).
This broad sell-off is going to create some bargain values for us, and remember metal stocks will stop falling before the price of metal and will actually start rising before the price of gold does.
As mentioned in a recent HHT update, which featured a seasonal chart of gold, February is a seasonally low time for gold and metal stocks (gold tends to reach a bottom), but it will allow new money to enter at some great prices! Energy prices and energy stocks are also likely to bottom within the next few weeks and that´s something we´re watching for our HSO subscribers (where we exited a number of energy stocks a few weeks ago in anticipation of this dip).
Feb 2: Alpha Flight?
I'll be beginning an international flight tomorrow morning and arriving late in the evening, so I'll likely take a couple of days to process any new orders or return emails. Also over the next few days, our Alpha Signals will be sizing up some interesting opportunities. Stay tuned!
Gold and metal stocks have definitely had a nice run - and I think they'll soon start to pull back strongly over the next day or two. So short-term traders may want to cash in profits and wait for the next buying opportunity. Long-term investors should remain in our positions.
I'm looking at some great energy set-ups for our Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers and I'm honing in on a couple of microcap gems for our High Roller! (HHHR) subscribers.
Feb 1: Gold is rallying strongly today on news of Obama's 2011 budget of $3.83 Trillion, including a $1.56 Trillion deficit! Hmmm ... I wonder where all those dollars are going to come from? Maybe the printing press?
At any rate, I think we'll see a pattern of a strong rise the first part of this week, a dip midweek and then a rise at the end of this week. I'll be on holiday beginning Wednesday for a couple of weeks, but I'll be checking in on our blog.
Jan 30: American Government - Putting Out The Fire with Gasoline!
A combination of government scandal involving AIG, Goldman and others, a weak Euro (temporarily pushing up the US dollar) has indeed knocked gold down a peg, as clueless fund managers liquidate everything at their disposal. But just remember how far gold has risen from its $700 lows in 2008.
America's increasingly fascist government pursuing US dollar destruction, creating debt to pay its foreign debtors, Bush and Obama's criminal bailouts, political back-room deals, a continued assault on civil liberties will all result in torching the flimsy US dollar once and for all- sending the US on an incredible inflationary rocket! Remember, all fiat currencies fail eventually due to government greed (temptation to print as much as possible!) and mismanagement. Gold - you simply can't print more. Gold is pure. Government is everything but. (Ha!)
We're doing some important Alpha forecasts this weekend. Stay tuned!
Jan 29:
Updated 3 pm ...
We're now seeing the Bullish Percent Gold Mining Index at a very extreme low reading - at 25. And for that reason we should be very close to at least a tradeable bounce if not a bottom. Investor pessimism is also very high (if like me, you'd rather look at a pin-up of Margaret Thatcher than check the prices in your portfolio) and there's also also a very good possibility that the professional shorts who;ve knocked down the price of gold will look to cover their profitable positions very soon. The dollar also looks like it's reached a resistance point. With all of that, we need a final capitulation day and we may be seeing that now. One other interesting observation is that the Canadian Venture Exchange is rising today, not falling.
Is a bottom close at hand? I would see the final clear-out day is either today or Monday. *IF* the capitulation bottom is in today, then we could see gold and metal stocks jump at the beginning and end of next week with a sharp dip in the middle. Investors are at or near the point of disgust and throw in the towel - and that's generally when we see a bottom arrive.
Jan 27: 10:18 am ... We're seeing gold pull back to test its 200 day moving average at 391.56. There's likely to be a lot of trading within a few % of this mark over the next few weeks as gold continues to consolidate.
With gold dipping this morning, it looks like we'll have to push back gold's rebound a day or so. If there's something positive to look forward to, it's that metal stocks bottom before gold, and that the next major bottom should arrive in February. And it should be a very profitable one to buy on. So keep some powder dry.
Jan 26: HSO sent out an an Alert.
Jan 25: Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) closed a 100% gainer this afternoon.
Noon ... Unfortunately, so far we're seeing a continuation of last week's pullback to deeply oversold levels for both gold, silver and metal stocks. If the correction continues the rest of today, then we could see the pressure build until there is a big huge mid-week spike on the 27th.
Jan 22.
Noon: Gold and metals could rebound next week, as there are now a large boatload of people that think they're headed down. Psychologically speaking, that leaves a potential for a surprise government invervention or some other event that moves gold higher even if only temporarily. If gold is up on Monday, that would be the most bullish scenario as we'd then expect to see a strong rise until about Tuesday, a dip mid-week, and then another rise at the end of the week. If gold dips to start the week, then we'd expect a dip, rise and dip scenario.
Some of the stocks we mentioned on Twitter yesterday are doing well, such as NSU, VGZ, IVN, and TGB.
Last night's HHT Newsletter Alert looked at the implications of gold falling under $1090, as well as two specific months gold investors should be well-positioned in our top resource stocks! In the next few days, I also wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of government intervention to help curb the broad stock market skid that might also help the gold market. It's something they've done before.
Jan 21. A Market Update was sent to HHT Newsletter (HHT) subscribers at 8:52 pm EST.
HHT Newsletter will be sending a gold market update later tonight. We'll post here when it's sent. The Market Update was sent 8:52 pm EST.
3:43 pm ...
It looks like gold snowballed after it hit some stop-losses early this morning. Gold and metal shares are now deeply oversold and are likely to snap back once the sellers have been exhausted. And that looks very near, if it's not happened already. The one thing we're watching is the price of gold - as it needs to hold above $1090 support. I made a few postings on Twitter today - and our Twitter page is one you should check out from time to time at: www.twitter.com/hedgehogtrader
2:18 pm ... Watch tomorrow, if metal shares are moving higher by about 12 noon or 1 pm, we should have a confirmation of a rise into the end of the week.
8:50 am ... Amazing, the Dow continues to float higher and gold pulls back more. Inflation will push gold a lot higher before this bull move is over - but it's looking like we'll have to wait a couple of months to see new highs.
It would be bullish if gold stocks began to rise today in the face of today's drop in gold - but if not, then we'll have to wait for the end of the week to see a recovery. Once again, 1137 acted as a major resistance for the price of gold and it turned lower after touching that point.
Jan 19: 12:30 pm ... The HUI/Gold Ratio is now at support and with a little push from metal stocks, we could see the delayed rally materialize in the middle of the week.
Gold is trading very choppy and its hard to follow its path right now. The Alphas indicate that gold's next move, between 2 pm today and Thursday morning is going to be a big one, so it's something to watch.
Jan 18: I hope all our American readers enjoyed today's holiday!
Today, with Canadian markets open - gold took some baby steps higher - and Canadian metal stocks rose. And it's now looking like fortune will indeed smile on gold and silver - and that precious metals will indeed shoot up tomorrow, as forecast last week!
This morning Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) launched a tiny nuke recommendation with lots of insider buying!
Jan 15: Interesting that metals are lying low today - we may get a bounce and then a dip later today. But I think that might finally exhaust the sellers and I would give gold an 85-90% chance of rising strongly early next week.
Alphas do indicate Mon-Tuesday will bring a large percentage move for the HUI. And I think sentiment is finally rotten/fearful enough that that next move will be a move higher. Let's see. If it is a big move higher early next week, then we expect a drop midweek and a strong rise end of week.
Jan 14: 11 am ... As negative a day as it is, I think the scenario we're seeing right now (which looks like a re-test of yesterday's lows) might produce a strong up day tomorrow for gold and metals.
Despite this morning's dip, what's interesting is that the Venture Exchange stocks are not down but instead, remain in positive territory. Something to keep an eye on.
I'm going to be watching gold's trend after about noon to see if gold is going to dip one last time or rise higher.
Those Seriously Injured in Haiti's Earthquake Need Help (and our Prayers)
Jan 13: 12:27 pm .... Yahoooooo! =) Gold is in launch mode.
It looks like the HUI has bounced off major support at 440. Let's see if metals move up faster than the price of gold - if so, we should see a strong rally.
Apologies for the earlier technical difficulties on our blog.
Jan 12: The metals have been snoozy of late. I think they could pick up either late today or tomorrow, and if we get the strong rise I think we'll see, then after that - we are likely see a correction at the end of the week.
Jan 8: Sorry the blog was down for a couple of hours and I couldn't post. But I did post on Twitter.
At any rate, Gold did open higher, faked down and is rising strongly. I think gold is seeing resistance at $1137 and might see some downtime next week.
Jan 7: 2 pm ... I was initially thinking the end of the week might see a pullback, but I'm not sure. But one thing is for sure - the Alphas are picking up an absolutely huge move between now at 2 pm and end of Friday. If metals are up in the AM, expect them to smoke it higher.
I'm not saying too much on the blog - things are playing out pretty much as we forecast in (HHT) Hedgehog Trader Newsletter! One thing I must note is that the microcaps in all our advisories are flying with brilliant colours. They were originally sold off when the market crashed last fall, and even though gold has now rebounded and is now higher before the crash, we are able to buy many of the best miners far below their valuation. Buy low, sell high! Buy on fear, sell on greed!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) is seeing a silver takeover play charge higher this week!
Our microcap advisory, (HHHR) Hedgehog High Roller! is the biggest beneficiary of undervalued resource stocks that are now heading sharply higher toward fair valuations. A week or so ago in High Roller (our microcap-focused advisory), I wrote about a tiny, shiny undervalued silver stock worth $1.50, and only trading for 15 cents - that company has now moved to 21 cents but still has tremendous blue sky ahead of it! This week we saw one of our (unusual metal) explorers rocket from 16 cents to 27 cents! And we have a gold explorer in Mexico that I am looking to double in the next month or two, as buyouts continue all around it. So, for investors who want to turn some small change into a fortune, we have a select group of mining stocks just as ready to make doubles and triples (and likely much more) in the months ahead.
Jan 5: Updated ... 3:45 pm ... Gold and silver's huge surge today is another great New Year's gift for the true gold bugs and a great big slap in the face for the 'gold will soon be at $600' scaremongers. At any rate, the Alphas suggest gold's next move over the next couple of days is going to be a big one - and right now, I'm leaning toward a correction, before another major rise. But if it's a rise, it will be a rocket and will follow with a big correction at week's end.
Jan 4: 2:50 pm ... Gold powering higher, that's a nice way to open the year! I'm seeing some things I really like about this move. And I'm taking note of some particular stocks. One stock I just mentioned on Twitter as having enormous upside is Capital Gold US: CGLD, CA: CGC.TO. I think it's a double waiting to happen, and a buyout candidate - and if you recall, Capital Gold had a buyout offer that sent shares rocketing last year! But they lived to tell the tale and are that much better this year.
Jan 3: 5:47 pm ... As mentioned - gold, which is under correction, is trying to carve out a bottom and we're likely to see that occur in the next 10 days or so. Now next week, if we see metal stocks dip early next week, then we'd expect a rise mid-week. Though, the more bullish January scenario would be if we see a rise early this week, followed by a mid-week correction.
Jan 1: Happy New Year, Everyone!
Dec 31: 6 pm ... You know, after today's annoying fake-out, gold bulls might have become pessimistic enough that we could finally see gold break higher on the first trading day of the year.
Our team at Hedgehog Trader wishes you a Happy New Year!
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out an important gold update this morning.
6:40 am ... It looks like we'll be ending the year with a blast. Gold is up $14 early this morning! And by the way, is it my imagination or did we ask the Beatles for help on our blog last night? Because I think there might be a correlation to our request and gold's sudden ascension.
In all seriousness, if gold's gains hold until market open (and according to our forecast they should), then we should have a HUGE relief rally today for metal stocks!
Have a safe and happy celebration tonight, and we'll see you next year!
(Markets are open a full day today, are closed Friday and re-open Monday.)
Dec 30: The Beatles say it best ... but help is on the way for Gold Bugs!
1:23 pm... Investor sentiment is very negative, and I think gold stocks are very close to a bottom. I'll be watching the HUI to gold ratio for signs the decline is over.
Gold wasn't able to put in a rally overnight, but we should keep an eye on it as investors have become very bearish (this is a good thing for bulls) and gold is very oversold on the charts. Its next major support is about $1077.
Dec 29: With the continued consolidation in gold and metal shares, we're thinking we're going to see a strong rise in metals and metal shares starting either late this afternoon or early tomorrow.
Dec 28:
1 pm ... Gold threatened to dip early this am, but has stood firm at $1100 and is mounting a strong rise. The Alphas indicate gold's next move will be quite strong.

Dec 24: HSO, HHT, and HHHR (profiling a tiny silver stock that could be a 10 bagger!) has sent out alerts!
Dec 23: BAT OUT OF HELL!
Alpha I is correct as the HUI has taken off like a Bat Out of Hell this morning!
Meanwhile, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) just sent out an alert on a forgotten gold explorer with 11 million ounces of gold and a resource hedge fund ... that I think will both explode to the upside today!
Dec 22: 1 pm ... The HUI has reversed its losses and is in the green. Our signals indicate the next move (whichever way it goes) over the next 2 days should be a big one.
My forecast suggests that the current dollar rise will likely end in the next week or two and that it will correct next month. So if we're correct about that, it should give gold a boost.
Metal stocks were starting to strongly outperform gold this morning, but it looks like gold's pull back below the $1100 mark has made buyers hesitant, as some are waiting to buy gold and metal stocks if gold pulls back to $1050 a major support. Low volume holiday trading hasn't helped either. Long term the gold bull remains intact, even if gold should pull back to $950. As always, the psychology of fear and greed rules - metals tend to overshoot both on the upside and also on the downside. And the major correction we're in has the benefit of creating buying opportunities in the market.
One other point to consider is that the majors may well use any price weakness to target for buyouts some of our smaller producers and exploration prospects.
Dec 18: 10 pm ... Based on some massively oversold indicators I think we're due for a major rebound in metals next week!
Here's is an old Rolling Stones performance (Mick looks slick!), somewhat echoing the feelings of some gold investors having their own Nervous Breakdown.
All kidding aside, this decline is all a matter of perspective. If you're a frequent trader then you should take profits after a big run-up (or use a trailing stop), but you risk the market running away from you before you can jump back in. Our core metal positions are pretty much nicely in the green and so, a 10-15% correction won't matter much in a year. Long term investors or investors are winning the race this year! What's more important is that several of our core metal stocks did not suffer nearly as badly as the entire HUI over the last couple of weeks. Interesting ...
11:16 am ... Once again we see the Canadian Venture Exchange (CDNX) stocks stronger than the large caps. The CDNX is actually rising while the HUI is flat to down today.
We got a spike near market open but that seems to have subsided. However, I think if metals stay mellow today, the more likelihood we'll see a strong up-move next week.
Dec 17: A TEN BAGGER in SILVER?
A few months ago, I mentioned on our blog that I think I've found a silver 10-bagger, and folks, it's looking very promising. The company has a very valuable defined resource already (no further exploration is required - only there is tremendous exploration potential) headed by an ex-Barrick Gold executive, and shares trade close to 10 cents per share. And if all goes well, it's coming to Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) our microcap advisory. Now, if our preliminary forecasts are correct, shares should see an incredible rise by the end of June! Alpha I indicates one of our biggest price movement indicators for that month. Before I give it the thumbs up, I just want to complete a final forecast with Alpha III.
It's funny how the 'future' unfolds. Often a major event will occur right when gold or silver is at a major support or resistance point. Perhaps, based on rumours surrounding uncertain leadership in Pakistan, gold looks like it's rising and has bounced off $1100 (I expect China to be a buyer on many of the dips we'll see) - if gold is green at market open, we could see one seriously explosive rise for gold, silver and metal stocks!
6:53 pm There are rumours of political unrest in Pakistan - it will be interesting to see if gold finds a bid under that uncertainty. Also interesting to note that the junior gold stocks in the Canadian Venture Exchange seemed to perform better than the big caps today.
3:07 pm ... After today's morning decline, where gold importantly held its support at $1100, I think gold will rise tomorrow.
The dollar has broken up for a mini-rally in recent days and Canadian investors holding US metal stocks have a nice built-in currency hedge. Such that while metal stocks have declined, the dollar is up, so they gain on the exchange rate.
Following a volatile end to yesterday's Fed decision, Gold has retreated to its 1100 support area which launched the last rise. Bah humbug (goldbug?). As mentioned, let's watch to see if metals come off their lows by this afternoon.
Dec 16: 6:22 pm ... I'm eager to watch the trend for gold after about noon EST tomorrow, maybe by late afternoon. If we see a pullback, we could see a sharp pullback the rest of the week. Otherwise we could see a strong finish to the week.
3 pm: It's looking like one of those volatile Fed days. Earlier today, the Fed decided to keep rates unchanged ...
1:39 pm ... It looks like our last HHT Newsletter update proved to be correct in that we'd forecast a rise on the 16th or 17th following a good-sized dip. And our blog from Dec 12th was also correct that we had seen the low for gold.
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out another energy alert before market open! We closed a quick 10% gain on Nat Gas recently.
Dec 14: Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) has been watching our energy explorers and producers rise strongly over the past two days.
Dec 12: 1:10 pm ... Metal stocks are bottoming - and we should see a bottom put in within the next 3 trading days, if it's not in already. Also, later this week we'll be sending some additional intel to those who ordered our Gypsy Road Gold Report.
Some important and very bullish data has now arrived from Alpha III - "Gypsy Road" is the code name for a little, undiscovered gold producer, not unlike Capital Gold US: CGLD and over the past 12-18 months Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) has made a killing on little Cappy Gold, buying as cheap as 34 cents, predicting the failure of the Gammon takeover which saw it first hit 70 cents and a drop to 50 cents, where we re-bought it - and now. seeing it soar to over a dollar!
In "Gypsy Road" we have a brand new 40-50 cent Mexican gold producer, fully unhedged - and THIS company offers similar $1.25 plus upside as detailed in our report, released on Friday! And there is based solely on production, and without considering its fantastic exploration potential where they struck high-grade 50 g/t gold and then had to halt drilling when the market collapse hit in the Fall. Drilling is now resuming there and near a number of big-time gold and silver producers - and with "Gypsy Road" you get that upside, along with low cost $250-$350 unhedged gold production!
Dec 11: GYPSY ROAD, TAKE ME HOME!
3:30 pm ... Gold is now very close to its support line and what's more, metals and metal stocks are deeply oversold. The Venture Exchange is moving higher and outperforming the HUI ... and I continue to think we're going to move higher early next week. The company we profile in our new Gypsy Road Gold Report is a stock to watch - as the Alphas are picking up a large percentage move for it Monday-Tuesday. If gold does break its downtrend and rise, then we expect Gypsy Road will move pretty strongly to the upside.
11:51 am ... Interesting to note that the undervalued Venture Exchange (with all the small metal explorers) is down just 0.50% vs the HUI at -2.5%.
11:05 am ... Gold had an interesting overnight session rising another $8 from yesterday's close but then dipping $11 at the open. What's interesting is that the HUI:GLD ratio is actually slightly favouring metal stocks this morning, so there is some underlying strength in the metal shares (including Taseko Mines which we noted on Twitter yesterday). And should the HUI strengthen further, it could portend a turnaround. After all, gold bugs who held great conviction two weeks ago, now think the world is coming to an end. If gold remains weak all through today, our indication is that it should make the turn upward early next week.
4 am ... Our brand new 10-page Gypsy Road Gold Report has been sent to those who ordered it!
Dec 10: 2:30 pm ... Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) made a perfectly timed entry into a Chinese silver stock that I think is a buyout candidate. I think we're now going to see a HUGE rise for the HUI into the end of the week. One to watch for a major rise, according to Alpha I, is Taseko Mines US: TGB!
Follow Hedgehog Trader on Twitter and get more heads ups on the market! http://www.twitter.com/hedeghogtrader
Dec 9: 9:40 pm ... the Alphas are picking up a major move for metals stocks after about noon tomorrow. We'll have to watch to see if metals and metal stocks break higher (if so, expect a further blistering move) that continues the today's rally or whether it will heavily correct recent gains.
Yesterday afternoon, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) closed a 3-day 10% gain in natural gas!
1:50 pm ... You can pull up a HUI:GLD chart for yourself, just cut and paste:
http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$HUI:GLD&p=1&yr=0&mn=0&dy=1&id=p22968221682
1:06 pm If the HUI:GLD ratio declines sharply and shows zero gains this afternoon, then short-term traders may want to exit positions. But currently gold stocks are outperforming metal stocks by +1.78% - so things look promising.
12:48 pm ... While gold has given up all its morning gains, I'm watching the HUI which is outperforming the price of gold right now by 1.54% - because metal stocks usually lead the metals both higher and lower.
HSO sent out an alert! Gold and metal stocks should be rocketing big-time today!
Dec 8: 11:40 am ... the next move on the HUI is going to be huge, likely between 2 pm today and Thursday noon. If it's a rise, I'll expect a big correction at the end of the week. If this next move is more of a correction then I'll expect a major rebound at week's end.
Note: We're waiting for some final data before we issue our Gypsy Road Gold Report this week. Once it's sent, we'll post on our blog.
Dec 7: Lots of News:
12:56 pm ... It took 3 and a half hours longer than we'd thought but gold, which was trading in the $1140s has now rocketed $20 and is now close to break-even.
HSO's newest natural gas play is exploding to the upside, some +7% from our entry last week, even as gold has corrected! Another of HSO's gas stocks was just named energy producer of the year! And lastly, ne of our Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) metal stocks, International Royalty Corp (U: ROY) just received a takeover offer at a massive +50% premium! What's amazing is HSO bought cheap and took 70% profits on ROY earlier this year and then re-entered. After this takeover offer, HSO subscribers are now sitting on an even fatter 89% gain the second time around for a total of 179% on two trades. Fantastic! Continue to hold your ROY shares, they may have more jump left! On the royalty, front HSO also has another smaller undervalued $2 royalty company that is takeover bait and should rocket in the new year! We'll have some updates later this week for HSO subscribers.
With gold remaining weak today (and if it remains through the morning), then gold's rebound should be delayed until midweek.
HHT Newsletter (HHT) will be sending out a gold outlook for the next few months, plus a date we think gold will jump this week - later tonight!
Dec 4: 1:54 pm ... Our latest Alpha forecast is 99% tilted toward a big gold rebound early next week! We'll be completing some forecasts this weekend that to confirm this and we'll be sending our updates to our paying subscribers at Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT).
Also, we'll hopefully be issuing our brand new Gypsy Road Gold report (see above) either this weekend or Monday night! As always, we'll post on our blog when we send it or any other information.
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert on a Mexican gold takeover opportunity.
Dec 3: Hedgehog High Roller! sent out a major update on our HOT microcaps!
Short-term traders need to keep aware for a possible healthy pullback at week's end. Long-term holders, simply sit tight - all is well!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out 2 alerts.
Dec 2: In the most ideal scenario, we'd like to see gold and gold stocks correct toward the end of this week, because that would set next week up for some great upside.
A bit of fun here (or hair) ... is that, as a precursor to our upcoming Gypsy Road Gold Report, '80s Heavy Metal band, Cinderella, has a lively take on Mexico's "Gypsy Road."
Caution: men with overly long hair and guitars among Mayan ruins await ...
If gold's surprising strength persists, we actually may see another strong rise until Thursday morning. Let's see how it plays out.
Dec 1: Our next full issue of Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) will be delayed a day or two as we need to finish a few forecasts.
Our Gypsy Road Gold Report (see above) will be out later this week! Stay tuned to our blog.
Hedgehog Trader's Updated Alpha Forecast:
Wow, another all-time high for Gold! Our elite recommendations are gunning ahead!
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter has eclipsed 1200% gains over the last year! What's next for gold and gold stocks this week? Well, our Alphas suggest we're going to see a sharp pullback likely between late this afternoon (likely after 2 pm) and Thursday morning. And if that's correct, that we should see a strong rebound the rest of the week!
Nov 30: BIG PROFITS FROM LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD!
Gold is trading at nearly $1200 an ounce and silver is knocking on $19 and $20 an ounce. But does anyone think there's money to be made in microcaps? You know small mining companies valued at $5 to $20 million with $5 million in the till, that are literally sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars of gold, silver and copper? And joint-ventured with mining companies like Goldcorp, Newmont and Barrick Gold? We've just seen Canplats Resources bought out by Goldcorp for its proximity to its Penasquito mine, handing HHT Newsletter (HHT) subscribers 80% gains just like that!
This is indeed the time when FORTUNES are made. We have unearthed multiple hundred percent gainers. One Mexican miner we bought for 11 cents is now a buck, another Canadian explorer we bought for 26 cents and hit $1.80!
In fact, months ago High Roller! (HHHR) bought a tiny mining company (a micro-cap in other words) near Canplats' property and Goldcorp's Penasquito mine - and when news of the Canplays buyout hit our little explorer jumped 70% in 2 days - with a lot further to go!
This sector is so ripe for profit that we have a number of fantastic recommendations on several undervalued stars in the making - and remember, they're only cheap because the credit crunch forced investors to sell everything last fall - and these same investors overlooked these companies now that gold has almost DOUBLED from its $725 lows and as silver has MORE THAN DOUBLED from its $7 lows in 2008! What's more very few mining companies have any research analysts following them - only a smattering. And of these very few companies in the exploration stage are being researched at all. That's where we come in with our war chest of investing ideas and future-probing Alpha Signals!
And believe me, over the past few weeks I've been busy adding to my master list, a select group of outstanding resource companies. With the help of our proprietary Alpha Signals that have helped Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) generate well over 1,200 percent gains over the last year!
In 1980, when gold went parabolic, 20 cent gold stocks hit $5! $1 gold stocks hit $10! And an even more amazing fact was that mining stocks rose for a full 6 months AFTER gold's price had peaked! To paraphrase Fred Flinstone, "Yabba Dabba Doo!" Now, that is what I call A GOLD BULL MARKET!
More importantly, luke-warm sentiment among metal investors makes me happy - for the best time to buy is before the storm, not after. There are a few more takeover candidates I'm about to highlight. With that in mind, subscribe to our microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) today! Our next full issue will be out this week, don't MISS IT!
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) just sent out an alert on a mid-sized gold company with great leverage to gold. Soon to be bought out methinks!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) is about to send out an alert on an amazing opportunity in the gold sector. The company's CEO and another officer recently bought over 500,000 shares. The smartest resource hedgefund bought nearly 4 million shares and 500,000 warrants for the right to purchase shares at double today's price! The company LITERALLY backs on to a producing 9 million ounce gold mine owned by one of the biggest gold producers in the world.
Got gold?
Nov 29: Our next full issue of Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) will be out Tuesday night with a particular date we think gold will JUMP this month! We will also be sending out a must-have full issue of our microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) this week.
We also may issue alerts in a few of our advisories this week. Stay tuned!
Nov 27: This correction is bringing us some great opportunities. Stay tuned!
Gold came crashing down today, following our forecast of a big correction after a big rise earlier this week.
What's next? Early next week, the most likely scenario is for metals and metal stocks to rebound strongly. If that happens, we will then expect a major correction mid-week. But if for whatever reason, metals continue to correct early next week, then we'll expect a big rise mid-week. But for now I think the first scenario is most likely.
Nov 26: To our American friends, have a Very Happy Thanksgiving today!
(US markets are closed today and close at 1 pm tomorrow. Canadian markets are unaffected.)
Nov 24: Gold hit a new high yesterday, but metal stocks came off their highs late in the day. Two scenarios to look at - one is for a dip between Tuesday noon and Thursday afternoon, followed by a major re-rise for the rest of the week. Or a continued rally through Thursday, followed by a big dip end of this week. One thing is clear the size of the move from Tues afternoon until Thursday afternoon will be a major one for gold and gold stocks.
Nov 19: 2 pm In our next microcap High Roller! update in the next few days, we'll have some interesting comments on our penny plays sitting on billions in gold, silver and copper! Stay tuned. :)
10 am ... We got that big nasty dip in the HUI we were looking for - and now we are looking for a strong rebound.
Nov 18: We are working on another exciting new gold research report on a tiny undiscovered gold producer that is about to produce gold for $300 per ounce - and whose US-listed shares cost less than 50 cents! What's more an updated 43-101 gold resource estimate on this million gold ounce company could send shares much higher in the weeks ahead ... in fact, I think it could easily follow stocks profiled in The Golden Opportunity Report and The World Class Gold Report as another triple or quadruple. The company is too small to recommend on our advisories (prices would be pushed up too fast), so it's being put out as a new research report (and the quantity will be capped). Details to follow soon!
1:12 pm ... as for weakness among gold stocks, perhaps the HUI wants to correct a bit. If we do get more of a dip between now and tomorrow afternoon, it should set up a strong rebound at the end of the week.
Noon: Gold is very strong, but the metal stocks are acting a bit weak - aside from some select producers - our core positions in (HHT) Hedgehog Trader Newsletter are surging! Many metal stocks are underperforming and at current prices undervalued, as they are trading at levels last seen when gold was at $900.
Nov 17: High Roller! (HHHR) has another double on its hand, having entered an interesting gold explorer at 15 cents in September for their Mexican prospects. Shares of this little explorer are now way up on news of Goldcorp's buyout of Canplats Resources (Canplats was a HHT Newsletter recommendation) located in the same region!
10:47 am ... Must-Read: Thoughts on Precious Metals Portfolio Allocation:
We are picking up some volatility in the days ahead. If we start to see a correction in the HUI over the next day - then it will likely be a strong one, followed by a rebound at week's end. So by the end of late today and Thursday morning, we should see a very strong move. However, if this move in the HUI between late today and Thursday afternoon is a rise, it will be a pretty strong one and then we'd expect a correction at week's end. Now, we are seeing overbought conditions in the HUI so we can expect see some corrective action soon. Keep some powder dry.
Portfolio Guidance for investors: I know there are some anxious investors out there - and I think it might help some psychologically to slowly add to their positions over time, or simply adding on dips, rather than buying everything in one shot. Also, as mentioned yesterday, diversify and hold a number of positions - the larger the portfolio the more positions. I would also suggest that you begin by building a central ore of elite producing gold and silver stocks as we provide in our HHT Newsletter (HHT), many of which are now up 50-100% this year (if you're not invested in these, I'd wait for a good-sized pullback when everyone thinks gold is hell, as opposed to now when everyone is peachy keen)- and then round out your portfolio with some smaller metal and energy exploration companies as we feature in our HHHR, HSO and Nuke! advisories. And occasionally, we provide added stocks of interest in our special for-purchase stock research reports, 2 of which have seen triples! Please also read our diversification thoughts from Nov 16.
Nov 16: HHT Newsletter (HHT) holding Canplats is bought out at a 39% premium by mighty Goldcorp! And here is what we had to say in the last issue of HHT Newsletter:
"Canplats is holding steady, as their property is close to Goldcorp’s now-producing Penasquito Mine and there is likely a lot of gold to discover in the region. Long-term, I think this is easily a buyout candidate for Goldcorp."
Less than 6 weeks later - bingo! Now, there's another junior in the same area as Canplats in our High Roller! (HHHR) advisory. I wonder how long the next buyout will take?
In the mining stock universe: some juniors are lagging the producers, but will eventually pick up and overtake them - juniors (ie typically under 10 bucks per share) definitely don't all move at the same time and often the smaller companies move according to news (like today's Canplats buyout) and not the price of metals. That means valuations are often mispriced the juniors and it's the brave and patient buyer who wins the biggest. If a stock lags unusually long without reason, you can simply prune it and let your winners grow. Another suggestion is not to use up your whole wad of bills during your first buy - leave some room to add more later; for resource stocks are volatile.
So, own a selection of juniors and you'll sleep well and profit! On the other hand, people who put their whole 20 grand portfolio into one or two stocks are those who squeal the loudest when their stock takes a turn for the worse (and that can be as simple as antsy investors or a fund being forced to liquidate a position due to redemptions or other reasons). That's why diversification is key. And our elite Alpha research team provides plenty of excellent buy candidates, so there are no excuses for being the one-stock guy! This particularly applies if you're doing it with a 5 figure portfolio.
A New High for Gold! Gold and silver are making a powerful move higher and our
shares are rising strongly.

Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert.
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out 3 alerts.
Nov 15: We've completed a lot of research over the last 10 days and we may have some new buys. Stay tuned!
Nov 13: 11:25 am ... Sweet, here's the end of week gold stock rally we were looking for!
Nov 12: Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) now has another 100% gainer to report! A South American gold miner that many 'mining experts' counted out long, long ago. What can I say? Our Alpha Signals picked up some very positive energy on their front. We'll have more on them in our next alert.
12:30 pm ... Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) sent out an alert.
With gold's lack of follow-through overnight, we may now be setting up for a big rise for the HUI at the end of the week. Let's see if gold and the HUI starts to show some strength late this afternoon.
Nov 11: Late this afternoon, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out 2 elite resource stock recommendations!
Remembrance Day - today, we remember all those who sacrificed for us, so we could live in freedom and allowed the pursuit of happiness.
10 am ... With today's surprise rise in gold, we should see gold stocks strong over the next day or so and then correct later this week.
Nov 10: Based on our latest Alpha Forecasts, one likely scenario is that we might see a gold dip mid-week possibly starting today, and then a strong rebound at the end of the week.
Nov 9: New Gold High!
Later this week we'll be sending an update on energy stocks to Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers.
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out an alert!
Hedgehog High Roller (HHHR) sent out an alert!
9:30 am ... Our Alphas are picking up some major moves today, as mentioned on Saturday on the blog. Gold has rocketed to $1107 and silver has hit nearly $18 an ounce! We are starting to see some hurricane activity in the Gulf of Mexico and we are doing some forecasts on energy prices.
I apologize for the delay on High Roller! (HHHR), but we are waiting for some final data.
But I can tell subscribers of all our advisories that I have uncovered 6-8 great new resource stocks that I will be recommending over the next few weeks.
HHT Newsletter (HHT) subscribers should see some great gains in our Best Buy rated stocks today!
Nov 7: Our Alpha Signals suggest some huge percentage moves are coming for gold and silver stocks next week! More details to follow tomorrow night.
Nov 6: Well, after a little dip yesterday, gold and silver are rocketing today! And the tiny 20 cent uranium junior we profiled in Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) yesterday is rocking again on news of another discovery. I called it a triple threat because of the 3 commodities it has discovered - but after yet more news, I'd have to call it a quadruple threat! Best of all, it's joint venture partners lessen its risk and exploration expense. To get the name of this little dynamo, join our uranium advisory, Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN)!
Nov 5: Our HHHR alert will be out this weekend - as we are still finishing some forecasts.
Over the next few days, I'll be looking at a few metal takeover candidates and energy stocks for our special situations advisory, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO).
Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) just sent out an alert including some thoughts on a small gold and uranium explorer poised to rock and roll! And a uranium junior under a buck that has just seen insiders snap up about 500,000 shares!
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) has recorded yet another microcap 50% gainer with a small gold explorer drilling in Ontario, details to follow for HHHR subscribers tonight.
I don't think gold's rise is over - we might see some more consolidation and then bam! another move higher.
Nov 4: Just one thing to keep your eye on - for very short-term traders. If the HUI goes back to flat, the correction could start. I am looking for a gold stock correction starting either today or tomorrow. Long-term investors, you're laughing. Stay in our profitable core gold and silver positions!
With gold continuing to rise, we could see gold's rally continue until tomorrow. The stock profiled in our TGO Report (which has tripled!) could see another nice big rise!
Nov 3: Gold hit a new all-time high today on news India was buying a huge whack of gold from the IMF! 200 tonnes to be exact. And for further intrigue, tomorrow the Fed meets - I think we might see a 'sell on the news' after today's big rise, but we'll see. And let's all keep 'Dave in Colorado' in our thoughts, as he told me he went short silver at day's end. While I do think we could see a correction of this big rise, I actually want to see it underway before I would do anything as daring. Remember, days when the Fed meets are full of wild price swings. If gold fails to correct tomorrow, then its drop will be delayed until the end of the week.
2 pm ... Despite today's powerful rally (which we forecast), metal stocks and gold are still on a technical sell signal as noted in a recent HHT alert. But we'll look for some set-ups in the weeks ahead.
Our two silver plays from the blog are up 7% today!
Tomorrow the Fed meets on interest rates - and the Alphas suggest a big drop for gold tomorrow. So before the end of today, traders should put stops on their longs, metals or otherwise.
10:40 am ... Now here's the rally we were looking for. Our free blog trades on SLW and EXK are rockin' some good news from EXK this morning as well.
Nov 2: 1 pm Markets are trading choppy once again. In the black, then red, then black ... Gold again has slipped under 400 support on the HUI - and I'd recommend using a tight stop for any new positions bought today. If the HUI can rise above 400 again and hold this time, metals would react very strongly.
11:26 am ... Gold's rebound today improves the picture for precious metals, more details to HHT Newsletter subscribers in our next alert.
9:40 am: Gold and the HUI are having a strong bounce back from oversold conditions - a couple of stocks that could do well early this week are silver stocks EXK and SLW.
In our special situations advisory Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO), an oil sands play we bought under a dollar a month ago might make an explosive rise very soon - according to our latest forecasts.
Nov 1: I hope you all had a nice Halloween! From my point of view, there were hardly any kids out last night - resulting in wayyy too much candy left over. Whereas last year, there were huge mobs of kids! And it makes me wonder if H1-N1 fears curbed our trick or treaters? And that also makes me wonder in a larger picture, if the virus makes a big comeback this winter and makes headlines, if it will hit retail spending ie if people avoid the malls before Christmas. That's not to say it will happen. But I am looking at some flu-related stocks with our Alpha Signals.
Note: I think we'll need an extra day or two, to complete some final forecasts for our next HHT alert on our best buy points for November and December. We'll post here when that alert has been sent.
Oct 30: Have a Safe and Happy Halloween Weekend! This week has been a thrill a moment ...
An oldie and a goodie from the 80s ...
RIP Michael Jackson and VIncent Price! Although, no one creates a mass panic near as well as Greenspan, Bernanke, and heck, let's face it - The Fed, too.
4 pm: Russia Considering Gold Sale:
Click here to read article.
This news item might have spooked metal traders today.
Updated 3:36 pm: I've finished a forecast with Alpha I - and this weekend in a Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) alert, I'll be sharing what I think will be the most profitable periods for gold and energy stocks over the next two months! They seems to match up well with the individual stock forecast I've been looking at over the past few weeks - very interesting stuff.
3:25 pm ... Another cause for gold's fall - major commercial traders are heavily betting short against gold and those manipulators usually get their way in the short-term. Just as they whacked gold and silver prices in August-September 2008. Of course, we can see commodities rebounded strongly. When prices have dipped enough, they'll get long - very long and gold will rocket higher!
I've just had a great question about why gold is down only a little and metal shares are being taken to the woodshed for a buzzing.
Usually, metal stocks tend to lead metals both on an upmove and on a correction. So the HUI will start to drop first and faster than the price of gold on a decline - and likewise, the HUI will also start to rise before and faster than gold on a rally. As I mentioned, how gold reacts next week will be important. Given the decline today, it's within the realm of possibility metals and metal stocks could snap back. If not - and they may not if we believe that metal stocks are leading gold down, that might indicate a bit deeper % correction - but it should still fall within the same timeframe we provided to our HHT Newsletter (HHT) readers in our last update. And I would expect metal shares to bottom before the price of gold or silver.
And as far as the correction in metal shares is concerned - don't forget, the HUI and the Dow have for the most part traded in tandem - and the Dow is now getting hit, so metal shares will get hit, too as fund managers and investors move to preserve capital.
Investors wonder what to do. And it depends. For there are different types of investors out there - 1) those who are long-term (and I try to embrace that philosophy, with some swing trades thrown in) and 2) those who want to watch every rally and decline like a hawk, probably because they have too heavily concentrated positions in individual stocks (easily remedied by lowering exposure to 5% or less per position).
If you fall into the latter camp (#2), you need to have stops on your positions or trim them on your own. Either way, just take a deep breath and realize that the resource bull bucks many investors off, as do many good resource stocks, during their long upward rise. But know that the gold bull will not end without providing a major gold mania that sends our metal shares up many hundred percent. Charts of gold and the HUI will look like parabolas when that happens (that's how all bull markets end) - and that will be our cue that the end is nigh! :)
Despite the steep correction across the board, energy and gold prices aren't going to drop forever and ever. The Fed and the US government will ensure everyone has a nice inflated 'everything' over the next couple of years thanks to bailouts, a near-bankruptcy for the government and a manic printing press. Step back and realize that gold was trading at $740 in not so long ago and made a 40-50% charge higher since - while silver doubled! We'll happily take advantage of the swings from one extreme to the other.
11:40 am ... Watch Silver Wheaton (SLW) over the next few weeks and expect to see some major volatility in shares. Alpha I indicates Monday-Tuesday will see a huge move for SLW - if metals are down early next week then that will likely be a MAJOR loss for SLW - if metals can rebound early next week, then SLW will rebound INCREDIBLY. Based on the size of the move Alpha I is picking up, it will likely be 10-15% in size. SLW is one to watch both short and long-term.
10:30 am ... I thought we might see a brief pop on the open, but it turns out most traders were happy to sell. As mentioned in our recent HHT alert, the HUI would make an attempt to hit 400 and as it turns out that was a good spot to exit positions as the HUI did not hold today. Going short the market with stops 3% below current prices looks good here, such as: DOG, SDS.
HHT Newsletter (HHT) subscribers know when where we expect to add or buy our next positions.
Once we see how gold opens next week, we'll be able to determine whether the correction will be minor and if will end early or whether it will be of the larger variety and will end later this month. Remember all corrections are healthy, for any move in a stock index or commodity that goes straight up is unsustainable. Corrections are needed to create a base for future rises.
Metals have been so strong that when they rebound, it will be an extremely strong reaction - so raise some cash and/or keep some reserves on hand for buying.
As investors panic and sell everything, some great resource companies are beginning to be put on sale - and by this I mean some of the companies that did not rise greatly during the last rally but which reported some great exploration news!
Oct 29:
I think we might see the stocks in our Hell City Metals and Omega Gold reports finish the week very strongly!
Metal stocks are on fire now following our scenario number two of a huge rise after the big mid-week drop!
Oct 28: Hedgehog Trader (HHT) Newsletter sent out an alert and took a 45% gain on a gold producing dynamo! We also gave subscribers our outlook short and long-term on metals and metal stocks and the US Dollar. During corrections such as the one we're in, the golden babies are always thrown out with the bath water as investors panic - so thank you very much, we'll be waiting in cash to buy outstanding companies at a discount. Even if gold falls to $950 and silver hits $14-15, metal stocks are trading at major discounts. A surprise awaits Gold Bears in the New Year!
Updated! Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out an alert that included closing a monstrous 187% gain!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert, cashing in 115% gains on three plays.
We're seeing the correction from yesterday continue - and in following the scenario, we should see further weakness until tomorrow or so, when we should see a rebound. The US dollar's rebound from oversold territory is knocking gold down. But whether the the dollar can muster much of a rebound beyond the next couple of weeks remains to be seen. In our next HHT Newsletter (HHT) alert likely tomorrow or Friday, we'll suggest when our signals pick up the dollar's next big move and the implications for gold.
Hold all positions you have comfortably in the black and raise some cash to wait for our next cheapie buying opportunity (driven by investor fear).
Oct 27: Are we seeing the Start of a Correction? or Continuing to Climb a Wall of Worry?
Over the next month, I think any new purchases will have to be selective. And in all of our advisories, we'll be looking at cutting any laggard positions as well as taking profits where it makes sense.
1:23 pm ... We could also see a retest of this morning's lows or the key 400 support level. If we bounce from there, that could ignite some buying. Let's wait and see what mood everyone's in.
1 pm ... We're seeing the decline halt and the HUI grind upward - the HUI is starting to slowly outperform the price of gold right now. If that continues we could see that post 2 pm rally begin for metal stocks.
10 am ...Keep an eye on the HUI after 2 pm - the Alphas indicate we should see a huge move in metal stocks from that time until Thursday afternoon.
If this big midweek move is a rise (I'm leaning in that direction - particularly if we see weakness continue until this afternoon), we should see a correction at the end of the week. And if the next big move is a correction, we should see a rise at the end of the week.
Oct 23: 4 pm ... After the spark at the open, today was another weird 'nothing happening' trading day. Part of me thinks that so many people are expecting a correction that we won't see it - at least not when we're expecting it. On the bear side, there are some negative divergences developing on the charts of the major indices and gold. This weekend, we'll be doing some new forecasts looking at the next two weeks.
11:24 am ... Gold spiked big at the open and has pulled back, as has the HUI and the Dow. Supports we're watching are 9900 on the Dow and 430 on the HUI. This could be a whipsaw before a big rise and as long as we remain above those levels we should be in good shape. What's interesting, is that we're still seeing very low bullishness (52%) from gold investors, according to Mark Hulbert who tracks the bullishness of Gold newsletter writers. That doesn't mean gold has to go up - but it suggests there is plenty of room for gold to move higher, since not all gold investors who can invest are fully invested. And of course, you never want to be in a situation where everyone is bullish - after all, who will you sell to?
Having everyone bullish and in agreement is the exact scenario at a major market top, right before a major correction. If you were invested in 1999-2001 you remember when people were complaining that their tech stocks only rose 15% in one day. Heady times! And we know how that bout of extreme bullishness turned out ...
Oct 22: 9 pm ... Pardon the vernacular if you will, but our flagship publication, The Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) is kicking some serious (butt). One of our South American gold explorers recently exploded for a 40% one-day gain! In all, Hedgehog Trader (HHT) has racked up a staggering figure of well over 1,200% gains over the last year - and for a measly $79 annual price, that's truly mind-boggling! That makes us the best deal in the physical (or metaphysical) universe!
And it's all the more impressive when you consider that many lesser gold and silver publications elsewhere charge that amount - per month! Thanks for your support - we couldn't work our magic without you, our subscribers! If you like our work, spread the word.
1:40 pm ... I've noticed over the last few weeks that the Dow and the HUI are no longer mirroring each other. Today, is another one of those days. Now, our forecasts have the Dow rising strongly into the end of this week. But it will be interesting to see whether the HUI lags a day behind and then makes a big move tomorrow, or whether it trades down and separates from the Dow once again.
This weekend I'm going to open up a few spaces in High Roller! with a special discount. Email us if you're interested. We'll also be putting out a full update on our High Roller! microcap positions and provide a watch-list of some great new buys we're looking to make.
11 am ... Hedgehog Special Ops' Oil Sands play is now up 70% in less than 6 weeks!
10:42 am ... As a wild October begins to wind down, our Alphas indicate the next move between noon and the end of Friday will be huge for the HUI and gold. I'm leaning toward a major rebound - but we may get a tip-off if metals and metal stocks start rising this afternoon. If they plunge, all bets are off. But I think we'll see a strong rise.
The stock profiled in our Hell City Metal report is very strong on a down day for metals.
In the next 10 days, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers will be getting a recommendation on a great low-priced silver takeover candidate!
Oct 21: 4 pm... Another weird, trendless and choppy week of trading. With the sharp dip in the HUI very late in the day today - we could be about to see a big rise at week's end. In fact, I'll be looking to see if the HUI is in rally mode by noon. That could indicate a big rise is on the way.
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers are seeing our oil sands play rocket 60% in just over a month. Yowee!
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out an alert.
Oct 20: 12:20 pm ... if the HUI can reverse and move higher late into today, we could negate the previous scenario and get the big pop we were hoping for.
11:24 am ... The Rise in the HUI has been muted today, as the index rose at open and then flopped. We'll be watching for further weakness late this afternoon as that would follow our original forecast of an early week rise (which we got), and then a dip midweek - before another rise at week's end.
11 am... HHT #29 has been sent!
9:30 am ... Our Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) update will be out in an hour or so, sorry for the delay. We are incorporating some new data from our Alpha Signals. We'll post on our blog when it's been sent!
Oct 19:
It looks like our big move on the HUI is on its way ...
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out a microcap alert.
Despite the early-morning pullback in the HUI, one of HSO's gold producers (takeover candidates) reported record production (crushed estimates, pardon the pun!) and has rocketed ahead over 18%!
Oct 17: Forecast! The Alphas indicate a big move for gold on Monday and a contrary move mid-week.
So, if we see gold open strongly Monday it should rise strongly through the day and at least part of Tuesday, and should correct strongly mid-week - however, if gold is in the red at market open Monday, then we should see the exact opposite scenario play out.
I'll be completing some additional forecasts this weekend to determine how the next couple of weeks looks.
Oct 16:
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) is zoning in on a super US-listed silver stock with great leverage to the price of the bright metal! What's neat is that the Alphas have been forecasting a major move for this company from November on ... and that means, it's time is near! Now, as for its special opportunities merits are concerned, well, let's just say it's a slam-dunk takeover target for not one, but two Silver majors! To join, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) and get both our electrifying energy stocks as well as our metal takeover candidates, please visit http://www.hedgehogtrader.com/products.html

Let Logic, Not Emotion Rule!
With numerous resource stocks in your portfolio having shot WAY up - for those who need it, this is just a helpful reminder not to 'fall in love' with any single investment or stock, and not to concentrate a large portfolio in any one or two stocks. Now, I realize that some of you *might* suddenly want to name your unborn children after stocks that have made you thousands or tens of thousands - but keep a cool head about your investments, and make decisions based on logic, not emotion.
It's just money! It can come and it can go. :)
Our High Roller! (HHHR) lithium play is now up nearly 40% in just 3 days on huge volume! And a BC gold explorer we bought also just days ago is already up 37% and about to charge even higher! We are always on the lookout for great values in the microcap sector - and we'll soon be issuing some new buys!
One of the companies we're taking a close look at recommending is a 18 cent gold junior exploring in BC and the Yukon (a very interesting property) - with the added bonus that a long-time shareholder is none other than metal giant, Barrick Gold!
Oct 15: 3:35 pm ... Despite a crummy market, a Lithium microcap we recommended two days ago has BLASTED higher for our High Roller! (HHHR) subscribers. What's cool is that several months ago, the Alphas indicated October would be this stock's month (and we told subscribers this would be the case!) and so far, so good!
1:15 pm ... I may have spoken too soon, as the market wants to continue its sharp moves up and down. Keep a tight stop on any newly entered long positions. Hopefully, we'll see a clear trend emerge for the DOW and metals by late this afternoon.
12:20 ... My scare tactic worked! :) The Dow is climbing and we could see a big rise for metal stocks into the end of the week. Freebie: If the HUI does rebound and turn higher, one silver stock I think should perform very well into the end of the week is Alexco Resources US: AXU. If metals find a way to dip, it will dip strongly, too. But I'm leaning toward the scenario of a strong rebound this week.
If the Dow doesn't regain 10,000 in the next couple of hours I think we could see a big sell-off for the Dow into the end of the week.
As we continue to rack up doubles and triples in our stellar microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) has its sights set on a number of excellent new gold and silver microcap buys likely to be executed in the next 5 days ... and there's one tiny 20 cent Mexican silver stock with a major silver discovery, that all our signals suggest is going to blast off around May or June. Fun! Details to follow for HHHR investors.
If you're noticing a correlation between the market recovery and exploration stocks being incredibly strong you're right. Gold and silver explorers can now access market capital, whereas it was hard or impossible to obtain during the worst days of the market crash. In addition, people are willing to look at really undervalued opportunities - some of them with near-term production potential on top of great exploration projects! I think we're only in the second inning of this metals explosion. Fasten seat-belts beloved gold-bugs, silver serfs and metal-heads- we may need to dodge a pothole or two, but we'll lead you to the really big POT OF GOLD soon enough! :)
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) will send out an update on our fast-climbing metal stocks on Sunday or Monday night.
Oct 14: JUNIORS: The Joy of Treasure Hunting!
(Plus: See Update 12:30 pm below)
How undervalued are gold microcap gold and silver companies? In our microcap advisory, we had one gold explorer triple in the last month (up a whopping 232%!) and another favourite gold explorer of mine has just ROCKETED 37% in 2 days, with much more to go! And the latter was preceded by 2.1 million shares of insider buying. Now, a Canadian gold explorer sitting on 5 million ounces of gold gave us 70% in just a few months - right after the CEO and other officers bought. And a Nevada gold explorer we scoped out at 19 cents has soared 128% in less than two months!
A few months ago, we bought a very interesting gold explorer at 11 cents (below cash value!) and shares hit 70 cents, mere months later! This is what happens you buy elite junior exploration companies in an environment of nearly $1100 gold! Right now, these junior companies are simply catching up to their fair valuation, which was lost when the market crashed and novice investors sold. And heck, we haven't even seen the juniors enter the mania phase when all hell breaks loose and dime stocks hit $1 and $2!
Why is all this happening? Gold demand is strong, while gold production is stagnant, and that is pushing gold higher and higher (along with hyperinflation of the dollar thanks to Uncle Ben's overactive printing press!).
Plus, the majors have cashed up in the last few months (including the giant North American gold producers, Newmont and Barrick Gold) and with their production profiles waning, they are on the lookout for acquisitions!
To join Hedgehog High Roller! before that happens, go to http://www.hedgehogtrader.com/hhhr.html
12:30 pm update ... THE JUNIOR BUYOUTS BEGIN!
Update: This morning Pan American Silver bought Aquiline Resources - Aquiline shares surged 33%!
Oct 13: Our microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! sent out 2 separate alerts!
Oct 12: The Dollar's Golden Hangover!
In case you weren't quite sure if Hedgehog Trader's call to remain in gold (and silver) was the RIGHT call before, during and after the stock market apocalypse. :)
(Over 1000% gains on HHT's metal recommendations over the past year or so, also doesn't hurt our case!)
A Chart of the US dollar vs a Basket of Major World Currencies:
1:50 pm Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) just sent out an alert.
Overlooked in the huge metal stock rise is the turn-around in energy stocks. Our Energy and Special Situations advisory has seen some scorching gains in the last month, including an kick-ass energy trust that pays out a monthly dividend equal to 12% per year, on top of the 33% gains we've nailed in the last 6 weeks! In addition, a US-listed oil exploration company has subscribers up 50% inside of a month and in this case, all we did is follow one of the smartest fund managers in Canada (with a little help from the Alpha Signals) to our pot of black gold!
Oct 11: To Canadian visitors to our blog, Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
Canadian Markets are Closed Monday, But US markets are open.
Oct 8: 3:30 pm Metals and metal stocks look like they're set for a run into tomorrow and 'Omega Gold' is shining bright - with possibly another big move on Friday!
Oct 7: Today the markets were pretty trendless - up and down. And that makes it a bit harder to pick up where things are going. Of note, our Alpha Indicators suggest the stock profiled in our Omega Gold Report could be making a big move over the next couple of days. Something to watch.
12:15 pm If we see much more weakness creep into the HUI and the Dow both could see a sharp correction as recent buyers exit. I think Jim Cramer's Street.com was recently telling his mindless minions to buy gold - only about 7 years late. I'll never forget his comments on Mad Money around 2003: "What inflation?" "Gold is a bad investment." Then of course, he and the cheerleaders at CNBC pounded their chest on the broad markets, which led their lemmings and all the stock brokers who watch that show for 'great ideas' off a sheer cliff.
Of course, when he did recommend a gold stock it was a sure winner like Crystallex (US: KRY, and an apt stock symbol!) a company which Venezuela has pretty much nationalized, leaving investors with 99% losses. Hopefully, Jim isn't getting too bullish on gold. That would be bad news.
11:30 am ... The HUI is remaining strong at its highs and as a result, we may have to push back our expectation of a correction a day. Gold stocks outperform gold in the latter stages of a big move, so even if gold doesn't move higher - metal stocks could power ahead on their own. In fact, it's usually the smaller microcap stocks that make big moves once gold begins to slow.
But we'll keep an eye out. Things are in good shape for today as long as the HUI holds above its lows of today at 435.
Oct 7: Goodness Gracious, $1040 Per Ounce - THE PRICE OF GOLD HITS ALL-TIME HIGH!
-->> 2:27 pm Short-term Traders, BOOK some profits! We're expecting a big dip in metals within the next day or two and if we get it you'll be able to make some great buys - but if we don't get the dip (I think there's only about a 10% chance of that) you'll still have your core position<<--
Plus, you'll have some cash to stash - and our advisories are looking at issuing a number of explosive new recommendations over the next few weeks!
(New! Read Dollar Dump article below)
Wowee! Our producers are rocking, our explorers are rolling, our microcaps are screaming! Folks, all of our elite metal stocks are going crazy!
And by the way, if you've been reading this blog for more than a day - you're not surprised at today's events. The Alpha Signals have been amazingly accurate!
And thanks to our subscribers, who make this work and our publications possible! If you're impressed with our work, pay it forward - tell a friend!
I'll need to find some appropriate musical accompaniment for today's HUGE RISE. Any suggestions? Subscriber David writes in to suggest "Celebration" by Madonna , though he suggests something more upbeat - like "Into The Groove."
How about this Classic from The Killer himself?
As for Traders: later this week, as mentioned yesterday, watch out for the big metals and market dip (nothing goes straight up!) and in fact, if we get it as I think we will - buy it for a rebound into the end of this week.
Oct 6: 12:07 am Once this big rise is over (perhaps by the end of tomorrow), Alpha I suggests it will be followed by a big huge dip for the HUI and the Dow mid-week ie Wed-Thursday. And then, when all seems dim once again - we should see another big rise into the end of the week. Let's see if we're right, again!
Oct 5: Our Alpha Signals had a major hit as we forecast a major 3%+ move on the HUI and it's likely to move much higher today. But is all as it seems? Tune in to our blog tonight for what we think might happen next!
Oct 3: Jim Rogers on Hyperinflation:
"There's no question the US is vulnerable to hyperinflation down the road or certainly the inflation we saw in the 1970s, I would expect that to come back in the foreseeable future, certainly in the next few years,"
"The true inflation rate in America? It's certainly at least 6 or 7 percent, the US government lies about it, as you know, everybody who shops knows that prices are up, everybody except the US government, and I wish we knew where they shopped so we can shop there too and get good prices."
Oct 2: Well, that was a bit hairy, but we did get gold and the HUI bouncing back as we forecast. As for the next move, I can't be 100% clear on direction but Alpha I indicates a huge percentage move for the HUI early next week, at least 4 or 5% in size.
[Some Light Entertainment - Hell, it's Friday!]
Does the US Economy have a Soundtrack? Joahannes Kreidler Thinks So
Oct 1: 6 pm .... Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) will soon be recommending a fantastic US-listed silver exploration takeover candidate!
Well, that was a fun car wash (a heavy rinse with plenty of suds, that is!). I think we'll see metals and broad markets turn higher sometime around 2 pm. By the way, our free blog trade on Dejour was well-timed as we got not one but two analysts recommending it after our call - shares were up as much as 20%. It's certainly great having our Alpha Signals get us to the party early - incidentally, we'll be following and providing forecasts for the stock exclusively in our energy and special situations advisory, Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) in the weeks to come. We have a number of excellent energy stocks in HSO, including a few small elite energy exploration companies, a fantastic oil and gas producer (which we've made 80% on in just three trades) and a super energy trust that pays out monthly dividends, and has an annual dividend of 13%! And of course, an all-star cast of alternative energy stocks!
Sep 29: My Alpha III signal has confirmed the strength of some undervalued and power new microcap stocks that we'll soon be recommending to Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) subscribers.
Natural gas prices are rising strongly since this morning. So, we have our first free blog trade idea in a while: Dejour Enterprises US: DEJ. A major industry insider has been buying heavily into this nat gas and uranium explorer. We'll look to take profits late tomorrow if it pops up like I think it might. Current: 0.46.
If we don't see a rebound for metal stocks by about noon or so, we might see the rise delayed until late today or tomorrow. Let's see what happens.
Sep 28:
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) just sent out an energy update with our top buys.
Wow! Another one of our microcaps we recently added in Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) is suddenly blasting through the terrasphere today (a 15 cent gold explorer is now plowing into the 20 cent range on high volume) - and this is exactly why small gold and silver juniors are excellent to hold and shouldn't be traded like their larger cap counterparts - they remain really undervalued and fund managers are only now discovering them! We are going to be adding a few more dynamite High Roller! microcap recommendations over the next week, so if you're on the fence - hop on board the world's most undervalued and explosive resource market! What's satisfying is we totally nailed the bottom on this one. :)
Okay, I've been busy looking at some forecasts and this is one scenario I think we might see this week. First - and at present the start of a big return for metal stocks through today and part of tomorrow, then a big dip mid-week and then another big rise at the end of this week - and if that's the case, I think we might get another dip early next week. Let's see how it plays out!
I think some resource stocks look like they may take another dip once they make another move higher perhaps at week's end. Traders should take some profits on strength and sell some laggards so as to keep some powder dry for October. While long-term investors should just wait out the volatility. However, all investors should keep and hold a core position that remains untouched, as the metal bull remains strong!
Sep 26: One of the Most Important Interviews Investors will Read this Century:
Read about metal ETFs, gold, silver and the prospects for metal shares.
Sprott's Embry warns investors to make sure ETFs backed by precious metals
(Spokane Washington) Author: Author: Dorothy Kosich
As precious metals investment demand "is exploding on a worldwide basis," Sprott Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Embry urged investors to make sure "your exposure to gold and silver is what it is represented to be..."
"Very simply there are far too many proxies for the real thing," he warned retail and institutional investors at the Silver Summit in Spokane Thursday. "Thus I would confine my exposure to actual physical or only those paper products where a regular audit is conducted to irrefutably support the precious metals backing."
Nevertheless, Embry feels "gold and silver have presented remarkable refugees" during the current global economic crisis.
"The gold price to date represents just the tip of the iceberg," he stressed. "What is truly important at this moment is to have a good position in gold and silver and their respective shares."
"I'll stick to a target of $1,500 in the next six months but I am comfortable with the notion of it trading at several multiples of the current price before the bull market runs its course."
Meanwhile, Embry asserted, "I cannot over emphasize the magnitude of the impact that is going to be felt in the gold market when central banks can no longer supply the gold needed to meet burgeoning demand." The decision of central banks to accumulate 14 tonnes of gold during the second quarter of this year is evidence of the possibility, he added.
"Most observers do not realize how much central banks...fill the huge and growing gap between true demand and mine and scrap supply," he noted. Embry estimated the size of demand-supply gap exceeds 1,000 tonnes of gold per annum, which represents 25% of the physical gold supply.
The gap "virtually guarantees that the western central banks are getting dangerously short of available reserves...to continue dumping gold on the market," he suggested. In the meantime, a number of eastern central banks-who are awash in U.S. dollars-"are accumulating and will continue to accumulate gold as one avenue to diversify their resources away from the U.S. dollar."
Meanwhile, Embry forecasts that the gold-silver ratio, which is currently just under 60, to decline precipitously as the bull market in precious metals gathers steam."
Sep 25: The Alphas indicate a big move early next week for metals. I'm leaning toward the move being a rise but for now I'm giving that scenario a 60-40 chance.
Noon: I think we could see a bit more weakness for metals until 1:30 or 2 pm. And then I think we'll see a strong climb into the close. We'll have to wait and see.
10:10 am ... The HUI has rebounded strongly and is trading above support.
Now, that's what I'm talking 'bout!
9:45 Gold is pulling back further and the HUI is under pressure as it's fallen under its support, but I'm still looking for a rise at least starting mid-day.
Sep 24:
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert and cashed in 35.5% profits (we picked the bottom on this quick one month trade!) and 57% profits on an iron explorer this morning!
Well, after like 4 or 5 retests, the HUI held the 400 major support level (it had one brief dip below and then like a weasel ... it popped up, again! So, we may yet have the end of week rebound we were looking for - tomorrow, particularly late in the day we may see a big rise. Note to gold stock followers: I don't often talk about individual stocks on my blog but here's a negative forecast that I am confident to share: I think Pediment Gold is about to smacked over the next month or few - so if you haven't cashed in on this recent rise (HHT Newsletter subscribers took a small 8 or 9% gain this time round - in addition to a 70% gain on Pediment earlier this year), then please do so. Alpha I, II and III all suggest it's going to take a hit - and the stock is probably not worth looking at for a number of months - it's taken forever to climb, and has been a major laggard and once it gets smacked - gold stock investors will probably be an unhappy bunch. I mention this because I understand certain stock gurus have that stock listed #1 on their recommendation list, but it's only going to be #1 for pain. Hey, I could be wrong. It's just my opinion, of course. ;)
11:30 am ... gold's decline has ceased and 400 held on the HUI. Looks like we could indeed make a run higher. And the elite stocks profiled in 'Omega Gold' and 'Hell City Metal' (both research reports available from Hedgehog Trader) will likely perform well if the HUI does rebound.
With gold's sharp pullback this morning, we're looking out for a rebound this afternoon.
Alpha I has confirmed several excellent microcaps ready to blast off in Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) next month, we'll give subscribers a brief heads-up this weekend. Don't miss out!
Sep 23: 4pm: Good lord! Even during today's ugly Fed sell-off, another of our ELITE High Roller! gold microcaps has erupted - this time, with a 30% rise in the last 6.5 hours alone! And that makes it yet another double for our microcap advisory!
Gold is moving higher after the Fed meeting. And down now. Now that we're seeing a strong downtrend, we will look to see if there's a rebound in the works for the HUI around noon or 1 pm tomorrow.
One of our recent South American exploration plays in HHT Newsletter (HHT) shot up like a flash this afternoon, reaching 40% gains at one point!
The wee stock profiled in our Omega Gold Report is tearing a hole through the terrasphere - it's on fire!
The Fed meeting is causing volatility as expected. Should be an interesting day.
With the help of our Alpha Signals, we were able to achieve doubles in two of our High Roller! (HHHR) microcaps in the last week! Fun. One 9 cent lithium explorer we'd bought just hit 18 cents this morning, and a 26 cent BC gold explorer, which has the backing of Goldcorp, is now trading over 60 cents!
Valuations are turning higher, much higher in the junior sector! And I'll be tracking down many more explosive resource opportunities with Alpha I, II and III. So hop on board!

Sep 22 2009: Updated:
Incredible. One of our High Roller! (HHHR) microcaps, which we're playing as a buyout target, is seeing volume 156 times average volume today - with 27 million sharesin total!
3:45 .. The HUI is climbing back higher again, so maybe we'll see a run up until the Fed announcement tomorrow for metals.
1:15 pm ... Alpha I indicates a pretty strong one-sided move over the next day for metal stocks. And unless the HUI heads above its day's highs, it's looking like it might be a correction.
However, a few metal stocks as always, will buck the trend.
Noon: We've just seen a nice spike for gold and metal stocks, as we suggested last night.
Our small cap resource stocks (mostly what we invest in) have done EXTREMELY well the last few months - and we're now seeing our microcap stocks jump out of their skin. A deeply undervalued 9-cent lithium stock we bought a week ago in Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) is now up to 15 cents for a 67 percent gain! A 26 cent gold explorer we bought a couple of months ago, just hit 50 cents this morning - and thanks to our Alpha Signals, we gave our readers a *second heads-up* when shares were still trading at 29 cents a week ago! The best news is I completed some very fruitful research with Alpha III on some valuable but overlooked small cap and microcap stocks, and we'll have a few more gems to share with subscribers very soon.
Sep 21, 2009: Midnight: Apologies. We're having some technical difficulties, but our HSO update will hopefully be out tomorrow night. And we'll post here when it's been sent.
On the business end, the Fed is meeting this week - and there is always lots of volatility when that happens. If we see a price dip before the meeting on Wednesday - and that dip continues into Thursday morning (one scenario I'm looking at), we will likely see a strong rise at week's end. I think we'll see a continued recovery for metals tomorrow. We'll see.
10:30 am... Things are looking better for the HUI as it is snapping back pretty strongly. 400 looks safe for the time being. Let's see if the index can stabilize and move higher, now that gold is moving toward $1,000 once again.
With gold pulling back this morning, it looks like the HUI is threatening to retrace to 400 in the next day or two. If gold stocks dip further today, I think they will rebound strongly midweek.
Our Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) Update will be delayed until Monday night.
Sep 18 2009: What A Week - Let's Exhale and Grab Me A Cold One!
Orders placed this afternoon will be processed TOMORROW. Gotta catch our breath - what a week!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) will be sending out a full update on our positions this weekend, including our favourite energy stocks for the months ahead!
ALSO: MIDNIGHT TONIGHT is the last night to take advantage of our HSO 40% OFF Discount Offer!
Sep 17 2009:
Evening Update: I'll be taking a close look at some interesting energy stocks over the next 12 hours.
If we're going to see a gold correction with the nice run-up we've seen, we could see one beginning this afternoon or tomorrow. If you're a short-term trader, keep tight stops or take some profits on metal stocks. Otherwise, simply hold your positions and wait for weakness to deploy funds into our favoured metal stocks. One sign of a temporary peak, incidentally, is that a number of mining companies are selling stock and that is happening today.
But I'm not a big fan of selling the value penny stocks, as I'm referring more to the US-listed stocks with larger capitalization that have had a good run the past few weeks.
Sep 16 2009: WOW!
An Evening Request, New Site, Watch Blog
Have you SUPER-ACHIEVED during this bull market gold mega-rally and realized success beyond your imagination? If so, then I'm very pleased - for after the stomach-churning beating the markets endured last summer and the ridiculous bailouts of the banks on the heels of real people losing their jobs ... YOU deserve this success!
As you can tell, Hedgehog Trader has been relentless this year to bring 'the best of the best' to our subscribers, and now, we'd love to hear your tales of happiness! We've already heard some great stories. If you haven't dropped us a line and want to, please send us some feedback at wintonresearch @ yahoo.com
Also, be sure to keep your eyes on our blog in the next day or so, for more gold commentary. I know our new website is behind schedule, but I put it on the back burner to ensure I gave full attention to our research, forecasts and recommendations. Hopefully, our new-look site will be running in the next month!
Afternoon commentary:
Based on results, subscribers would like to have Meatloaf on our blog every day.
For indeed, gold gapped up today and hit a high of $1020 per ounce! Another successful hit for the Alpha Signal!
One thing I'd like to note is that the smaller exploration stocks have MUCH, MUCH more to RISE, as their biggest moves come late in MAJOR gold and silver RALLIES. It's been so long that many have FORGOTTEN what happens to microcaps at the end of an explosive metal rise - don't worry, we haven't.
We have a roster of elite all-star microcap exploration companies, mostly priced $0.25 cents and under at Hedgehog High Roller! So, if you want your best shot at quick 3 and 4-baggers, join us now! In fact, one stock we recommended at 11 cents is now trading at 70 cents 4 months later! We sold it and it's only reinforced our decision to focus on cheap, ULTRA-VALUABLE resource stocks in a big way! Most microcaps aren't followed by any analysts, so market inefficiencies which allow shares to remain cheap - are our best friend. :)
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out an alert on an interesting gold play this morning.
Sep 15 2009: 1 pm ... The HUI: Like a Bat Out of Hell!
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out an alert on an under 10 cent gem!
12:01 am ... FUN! HSO's new gas and oil buys are starting to take flight right on time with our energy forecast - and all of this is occurring in spite of the weak market! Only 3 days left before our HSO discount offer expires. We'll be recommending two low-priced and US-listed energy stocks in the next few trading days. One provides the punch of traditional oil and gas along with the nuclear energy - its valuation was crushed and is going to make a major comeback as energy prices scream higher. The Alphas suggest the second company is also a juicy BUY, especially as a billionaire saw fit to SNAP UP more than 1/3 of its shares several months ago!
We're waiting for some final data from Alpha III and we'll be sending out a full HSO update. We'll post on our blog when we send it.
You can see the Natural Gas to Gold ratio (above) is showing Natural Gas is even more undervalued than gold right now. We'll soon see Natural Gas continue to close the gap, having been hammered to 8 year lows. Buy low (on fear), sell high (on greed)!
Get energized! Hedgehog Nuke (HHN) just sent out an alert on an elite uranium energy stock!
Sep 14 2009: JUST 4 Days Left 'Til our Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) Offer is HISTORY! (... or Makes It!)
3 pm: Okay, well judging from the HUI correction underway, it looks like metal stocks could continue correct as a group until about tomorrow afternoon. If that occurs, then I expect them to rise - a la KABOOM between Wed and Thursday. So let's see how this plays out!
Sep 13 2009: Evening Update: Our full HSO Update will be out either today or tomorrow - I'm waiting for some final data from Alpha III on a couple of companies. We'll post here when it's been sent! Also, the Alphas suggest a big move early this week for the HUI and gold. How gold opens should help us in our outlook over the full week. Later this week, we'll be updating all our High Roller! microcap positions!
Based on some Alpha Research completed with Alpha I this weekend, I think we'll soon have two dynamite new low-priced ($3 and under) energy stocks to launch from our Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher ... Forget big caps like Exxon, the small caps that have been beaten down have the most catching up to do and the most upside. We'll see this most definitely - and soon!
Sep 11 2009: Only ... One Week Left!
I'm glad you are reporting to me that the blog is loading much faster since the recent purge of old blog entries.
Apparently, in going from bog back to blog, a hedgehog colonic was just the tonic! :)
Sep 10 2009: Hedgehog-a-Mania!
10:30 pm ... The tremendous gains we've made over the last 12 months are just the tip of the iceberg, folks. I know there are all kinds of mediocre newsletters recycling their claims that you will make some 4 digit percentage gain (6,500%!). Most of them buy stocks we're already in and then power our stocks much higher!
But see, by then we are ready to take profits if we foresee a bump in the road or when it's simply wise to raise cash or we'd simply like to pay ourselves for taking a risk in the capital markets. And yet these blloated, heavily-marketed publications ride their late-arrived picks up and down year-in, year-out with no particular purpose (one wonders - are they waiting for bad news to sell a profitable position? One hopes not! ). This wastes the time of their readers. But here, we are bold, brash and daring. And proud of it. Who dares, wins! And we have a loyal base of subscribers who've come to appreciate what we offer that others don't.
We forecast - and give you the power and the confidence to invest. We're not always going to be right (hubris is bad!), but once again, we are excellent at readjusting when we've made a miscalculation. What's more, our track record of gains is second to none over the last year, including the market crash. For that's where from the ashes, we bought metal shares in the tank and sold them for a mint. Good grief, while most brokers are deciding on how much commission to charge you for buying Microsoft shares 'because they're safe ... probably' gold is the farthest thing from his mind, meantime we're diligently picking up sparkly little gold nuggets that may yet reveal themselves to be the tip of giant gold boulders once a few layers of earth are scooped away!
And that brings me to something interesting - I think I might have found a precious metals stock ripe for a 5 to 10-bagger early next year. As we get closer to the date, I'll have much more confidence on whether this is most likely going to occur. There's a particular event the company is waiting for and if that should occur as gold and silver go ballistic then yes, I believe this 10 cent Canadian-listed stock could be worth a dollar or 2 dollars within months. I'm going to closely guard its identity and won't say anything further, until I am more sure of this prediction (quality control is important!). This should occur in about 3-4 months.
On a very related note, I know the majority of my blog readers and subscribers are US investors and I haven't touched on this very important topic for some time. To not cheat yourself of the coming greed and mania phase of the metal bull market, you NEED to have an account where you can buy even a few Canadian stocks. I say this because all good Canadian stocks eventually get a US-listing. But that's only once their shares and market caps are much higher and qualify for listing on the Amex, Nasdaq, NYSE, etc. Gaining access to Canadian stocks is vital in being able to use some speculative capital to make bets that can pay off 50-80% in a short period of time, and even as much as 5 to 10 times your initial outlay!
And unless you think I'm joking or exaggerating like some hair-twirling CNBC news anchor, you ought to consider the reality that in every bull market in the past, a major MANIA ultimately gripped the populace and sent those commodities on a parabola path to unimaginable heights! From tulips, to grains, orange juice, natural gas and oil it's happened time and again. If the markets are hard to predict, it's clear people aren't! Higher prices make people buy, not sell!
What's even more interesting is that in the last gold bull market, metal shares continued to rise for 4-6 months, even as gold started to decline. Crazy, no? That is what's meant by MANIA! I'll tell you when to sell. But not to worry. You'll know as well. Because you'll have taxi drivers and valets and waiters telling you to buy Goldcorp at $300 or some extraordinary number or one of our 50 cent penny stocks at $5 or more - and then for god's sake sell it all, man (or woman, as I have a lot of savvy lady readers!). A second reliable indicator that the end is nigh for the gold bull market will occur when I am inundated with queries from American investors on how to buy Canadian stocks. For that will mean gold speculation will have hit the mainstream! By my barometer, I've truly only had a handful of queries from savvy US investors on that subject over the past 6 months - so I can conclude a top for gold is nowhere in sight!
As you go about your daily routine, pause a moment and thank your lucky stars that there's still a long, long way to go before gold and silver prices reach a speeding bullet's blur and scream out valuations that will seem truly staggering from here. So with that in mind, prepare yourself with every tool you can. Don't wait.
It's now 11:44 pm and I see the price of gold has hit $1,000 once again. Hedgehog Out.
Note: Some US brokerages that deal in Canadian shares include Scottrade, Etrade, Canaccord. Call and ask questions before opening an account - report back with your findings. If you have any other brokerage suggestions or even your opinion on any of these, by all means, email me and I'll post them on our blog. After all, we were put here on this beautiful green Earth to help one another! Or so this writer thinks.
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO)
sent out an alert with perhaps the best energy junior we've ever recommended! Three bagger? Takeover target? Time will tell! HSO will be sending a full update on our positions this weekend.
Our Hell City Metals! report has been sent to clients who ordered it.
Updated! Yes, we've now positioned our subscribers in elite metal stocks that if all continues on plan, are going to SIMPLY ROCKET through the end of this week!
Just remember to tell a friend that at you heard it here first on Hedgehog Trader! =)
HHT, HSO and HHHR sent out alerts!
PLUS: OMEGA GOLD looks like it might see a big rise over the next two days, ditto for the stock in our TGO Stock Report!
High Roller! is eyeing a gold stock the Alphas suggested would be a late bloomer during this rally - and you know, it was. So we may pounce today!
Incidentally, the Alphas are forecasting some huge percentage moves for metal stocks at week's end. Should be an interesting end to the week!
Sep 9 2009: DON'T MISS THESE EPIC ENERGY PLAYS!
3:30 pm ... THE IRON, MAN! COMETH ... Breaking News: Our top iron takeover play in HSO just saw its CEO purchase another 100,000 shares on the open market! We bought our shares when people couldn't decide whether or not they should buy a great company that had more cash than the company's own market value! (Uh, yeah!) Shares have since risen, of course, but the CEO continues to back up the truck, adding hundreds of thousands of shares on the open market - as billions of dollars in red hot iron wait to be plucked up by a hungry predator!
1:30 PM ... Email us at wintonresearch @ yahoo .com (remove spaces) for a SUPER Offer: 40% off Hedgehog Special Ops!
Include the code GOENERGY! (or you could at least tell me a good knock-knock joke!) and you'll land yourself great deal - this offer is valid only until September 18th!
We have several epic energy plays in our arsenal that we've only just launched! Don't miss the fantastic ride that's coming! Not to mention, HSO just recommended a great rare metals play that's lucky enough to have opened under our buy price.
4 am ... HHT #28 has been sent.
Sep 8 2009: Gold hits $1000 an ounce!
Evening Update: Our next HHT Issue will be out later tonight or early this morning. We'll post here on our blog when it's been sent.
This evening Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert on 3 dynamite US-listed energy stocks, including one that pays an 18% dividend!
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) launched a missile of an oil exploration stock late last week and the results, which are already paying off, promise to be positively HUGE in the weeks ahead! I am adding shares of this one dollar US-listed explorer to my Hedgehog Fund today.
This week has been a bit tricky to forecast due to its shortened nature - but we might see a strong trend kick in this afternoon that will guide us. It's either going to be an extreme rise or dip over the next couple of days. So we'll sit back and see what happens. Note: We removed some of our older blog entries as we think that loading months of entries on each visit has been the cause of some loading problems on our blog.
Sep 7 2009: I first want to see how gold acts on Tuesday - and so we'll be putting out our next issue of HHT on Tuesday night. Our new Hell City Metals Report will be out later this week.
Note: If you're having trouble with the blog loading, empty your browser's cache and you should experience better results.
Sep 4 2009: Too Bull or Not Too Bull, That is The Question!
3 pm ... US and Canadian markets are closed for Labour Day on Monday. So the golden ray of excitement will be on pause for a short while. It's been fun. Have a great long weekend, all! :)
Noon note: It looks like the dip we got today was pretty limited. The HUI pulled back under 400 but it looks like it was a slingshot move that will carry metals and metal stocks higher this afternoon.
What I've found extremely interesting during the recent climb of gold, silver and precious metal stocks is the low level of bullishness I'm seeing from investors. This seems to be confirmed by writer Mark Hulbert who measures the bullishness of investor publications focusing on gold. Recently, when gold was trading at $950, we mentioned how he'd noted very few gold analysts were actually bullish on gold (they were obviously waiting for some huge gold crash before telling their subscribers to buy) and we noted how that was likely to be a benefit to us: we buy now, they buy later in a panic at much higher prices!
Anyway, you'd expect the gold writers to be skinning their knees to get their subscribers back into metals with gold nearing $1,000 an ounce and the HUI up 15-20% in mere days, right? Not so, says Mark Hulbert. Apparently, only 25% of gold analysts are bullish. However, even if you've been caught flat-footed and find yourself low in metal exposure, this minimal level of analyst bullishness provides gold and silver investors with tremendous upside in the weeks and months ahead! Simply hold your core positions as we have, and from time to time cash in profits on your trading shares. In fact, Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) will be out with a new issue this weekend, recapping the current Best Buys in our portfolio of ELITE metal stocks! So now, is a great time to join us! Unlike the 75% of snoozing analysts, we've been hard at work all year long and our metal stocks are racking up incredible gains!
Sands of TimeHedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) has sent an Alpha team to explore hostile territory for most investors - energy stocks. Reconnaisance suggests some excellent opportunities to snatch major profits. Some interesting activity at a very undervalued oil sands stock caught my eye and led me to recommend it. A savvy resource investor has sextupled his stake in the company from 2 million to 12 million shares, one of the largest increases in his fund (which normally focuses exclusively on gold)! The Alphas all suggest this is going higher. Days later, we learned China is buying 60% of another oil sands company not far away. Tides are changing on the sands.
Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) which focuses on metal takeovers and energy stocks (both Alternative and Conventional), our microcap metal exploration advisory Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) and our uranium advisory Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) will also be getting a full update on our surging positions over the next week!
Sep 3 2009: Gold UP ANOTHER $17!
1:30 pm ... It looks like we'll rally to the end of today, as gold looks like it will make an earnest run at $1000! And silver has just hit $16.
In the next week, I'm looking at launch a soon to sizzle US-listed silver stock (low priced, to boot!) that's a takeover candidate for Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) subscribers!
12:20 pm ... The HUI looks like it might want to test 400. That is the most logical place for a pause in this rally. If 400 breaks and holds we may have to re-evaluate our week's end dip. And that big dip would likely move to Monday-Tuesday.
Well, we got the follow-through we wanted this morning - but we expect to see a correction beginning a bit later today and through tomorrow!
Updated midnight: Sep 2 2009: GOLD UP $21 DOLLARS AN OUNCE!
4 pm... This truly was an Epic day for metal stocks! The HUI Gold Bugs Average rose over 9%! And all of this seemingly out of nowhere - except, that we called this big rally on our blog only a few days ago! And what's more, this fiery rise for gold and the HUI may well continue tomorrow - at least until noon!
My marketocracy.com Hedgehog Fund was up a screaming +8% today and that's with a hugely diversified portfolio where most positions can only be 10% in size! In fact, this is probably our fund's best one day rise EVER! I'm also glad some clients did as we suggested, and loaded up on the stock profiled in our TGO Report before today's massive rise - and were in time to collect the nearly 15% gains we saw today alone. The stock is up well over 70% since our TGO Report debuted!
Not to be outdone, the ELITE metal recommendations in our Hedgehog advisories soared today - with two Nevada miners in our flagship HHT Newsletter catapulting 23% and 30% higher a Mexican folg explorer rising 19% and two excellent silver stocks rising 10% - quite incredible! Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) saw an electrifying Wyoming gold prospector explode for 15% gains, a geothermal stock up over 12% and numerous metal takeover targets rising 5 to 6%! High Roller! (HHHR) saw a Nevada mining microcap jump 20% today and will soon see a flying Yukon gold explorer hit full stride! An Ontario gold explorer with heavy insider buying roared 11% higher, and a terrific BC silver explorer surging over 11%! We're expecting a wave of huge gains from some microcaps that have been doing things on the sly ...
Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) has a very promising gold/uranium explorer that we recommended at 7 cents and we expect a huge month ahead for the company, which has seen massive insider buying by the CEO! And another gold-uranium explorer that struck gold in Canada's first gold mine! As you can see, there's plenty of excitement still to come across all of our advisories! Thanks for all of your kind feedback! It's weeks like this that help investors (and particularly, new subscribers) heal from the trauma of last year's market crash which we avoided. With that said, however, we must never be complacent. And we won't be!
11 am ... Well, the metal gods have smiled on our Alpha forecasts once again! I expect this huge day for gold and silver to continue. But the Alphas indicate we're in for a big correction on Friday, perhaps even beginning sometime Thursday. That's your end of the week surprise!
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out 3 epic buys this morning!
PS. As mentioned, our TGO Report stock is taking off like a bat out of hell this morning! Fun!
Sep 1 2009: 4 pm ... Well, the HUI held the 350 line, even though it only closed less than a point above the 350 support - while gold close up more strongly at day's end. So tomorrow metal stocks are in position to rise. We'll just have to see what the metal gods have in store for us ... I'm going to seem director Peter Jackson's new sci-fi film District 9 tonight, so if I'm not back tomorrow, you can be sure that the Aliens got me!
2:20 pm ... Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) is also where we look at energy stocks and we'll very soon have some dynamite energy trades, including a pure play recommendation on that pesky natural gas commodity that went up crazy a couple of years ago and now seems ready to go to 10 cents. 'Uncle' time is not here, but it's quite near!
2 pm ... HUI and gold are rising, right on time! So long as they hang in there til close we should be good with our forecast. Also, I think the stock profiled in our TGO Gold Report (The Golden Opportunity) might have a big move in the next day or so. For more info visit http://www.hedgehogtrader.com/TGO.html
And the stock profiled in our World Class Gold Report (WCG) continues to power higher as powerful portfolio managers snap up a cheap stock drilling next to an 18 million ounce gold discovery by an acquisition hungry predator! A top metal portfolio manager just made one of this stock one of the biggest increases in his gold fund, adding 30% more of this company's shares! For more info visit http://www.hedgehogtrader.com/WCG.html
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) sent out an update on the broad markets with some hedges to protect us on the short side. And we outlined what we think will happen to gold and metal stocks this month.
9:45 am Gold and the HUI did make a big dive early this week -though they waited until today for their biggest tumble. And so the dance continues at the support line of HUI 350. I'll be watching to see if the HUI starts a rise after 2 pm, for if so, we could see a big rebound over the next day or so. Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert this morning: HSO recommended two awesome resource stocks - the first is a deeply undervalued gold royalty company and the second is a deeply undervalued energy explorer in which one of the world's greatest resource investors recently increased his fund's stake from 2 million to 12 million shares. This same investor owns 5% of this new royalty company. Undervalued assets + savvy buyers + Alpha insight = big profits.

Aug 31: Okay, we were right to take some profits Friday, as gold dipped today. One amazing thing is that on a down day, one of our High Roller! (HHHR) microcaps rose over 80% today!
Aug 30: I've been looking at some fresh forecasts from Alpha I on the HUI. One thing that's nagging at me is that the HUI spike on Friday wasn't as big as I was expecting (it opened high and settled up a percent or so) - though a number of metal stocks I'm tracking really zoomed higher as the week ended! So part of me wonders if we'll see a delayed continuation of that rally on Monday. Whatever happens, I really think we'll get a decent pullback at week's end. But the next period of weakness we see will gear us up for some great entries. If gold does dip early this week, we'll see a rebound mid-week. And it it rises, we'll see a partial dip mid-week. We'll get a better idea of which scenario is most likely once gold opens in the morning.
Note: HSO and HHT sent out profit alerts on Friday afternoon.
Aug 28:
Also see Noon Update below: HELL CITY SPECIAL OFFER!
If you pre-order our Hell City Metals Report! now, you'll also receive a FREE BONUS report!
Act now, as our Alpha Signals (Alpha I, II and III) suggest a huge move for this low-priced US-listed stock between September 10th and the end of October!
Noon Commentary, Aug 28th: Hurrah! Gold is rocketing higher! It's great to see our forecasts played out so accurately. We can't always be right, but we've had some tremendous success lately. It takes a lot of work to do what we do, so thank you for all your support and good wishes - it makes it all worthwhile!
And so, we hope you'll be rewarded by tuning in to our blog again today: so as mentioned metals should have a really excellent rest of the day, but we think early next week is going to show a decent correction, and if that holds we should see an equally strong mid week rise, and then what I think, at this point, is going to be a doozy of a dip at the end of next week!
It's true, we at Hedgehog Trader provide investors with some truly amazing and unique analysis - absolutely no one else does what we do, where we predict where individual stocks will head and when - or how gold or the HUI will rise or fall on a day to day basis. Help us grow - tell a friend/colleague/boss! That would be your greatest gift to us. And if you're following our blog but haven't subscribed, go ahead and take the plunge at last!
Thanks sincerely for your support and have a great weekend!
Blessings, The Hedgehog Trader.
PS. Next month in our microcap advisory, Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) we'll profile a tiny LITHIUM stock under 20 cents that will make us a LOTTA moolah!
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) now has the best roster of microcaps we've ever assembled - so, join us TODAY!
The coming period of hyperinflation (jacked up by the idiots in Washington over the last decade until this day!) will make Goldcorp shareholders a pretty penny (of that there is no doubt!), but it will make our micrcocap investors an ab$olute fortune! Exploration companies whose shares were thrashed by the stock market crash are still trading at PENNIES on the dollar (though some are now starting their ascent!) - and when Main Street wakes up, they'll be trading at a premium, not a discount to that dollar! So don't wait. Our all-star Alpha Team is absolutely relentless in our search for profits and will provide YOU with numerous ways to turn a few hundred dollars or as much as tens of thousand dollars into 3, 4, 5 times your investment stake! Commodities (including gold and silver) are in raging a bull market and as you know, every BULL ends in a MANIA! It's clear that GLORY DAYS, not gloomy days, are ahead of us!
Aug 27: 4 pm ... Tomorrow should be a scorcher for gold and metal stocks!
Amazing! Did you see how GOLD and METAL STOCKS turned turned up at noon, right on time? Fun!
Some thoughts for new resource stock investors who may have recently joined us: we recommend having a diversified portfolio of at least 10-15 mining stocks, and since we generate so many great ideas, our advisories make this easy to do!
Having a portfolio of metal stocks helps an investor be more patient, as not all metal stocks rise at the same rate. Some of the more speculative or smaller resource stocks move big but do most of their upside damage on company specific-news. If you want something that tracks the major gold stocks buy the gold stock ETF, symbol: GDX which tracks unhedged metal producers. The trade-off is it has less upside than our smaller-capitalized, higher leverage recommendations. Of course, one solution is to build a portfolio with the GDX as a core component (or instead, physical gold) and then add select resource shares to round it out. That way you have all your bases covered, with gold equities big and small!
12:01 pm ... As promised, here IT COMES! :^)
(That would be the HUI rally!)
Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) just sent out an alert on a miner with perhaps the single biggest resource base in the junior universe (not to mention high grade, too!), for under 20 cents. What's more, 5 insiders (including some high profile folks) have been buying shares like crazy over the last few months!
Aug 26: With the middle of the week finally showing a more defined trend (and that helps us forecast) - weak, I have confidence that we'll see metals and metal stocks rise at the end of this week. Perhaps starting on Thursday noon or a bit later.
Aug 25: The Market is Heating Up! Hell, Yes!
Updated @ 1:30 PM: We are starting to see the nice rise we were suggesting - I think though that we might see metals drop tomorrow. Also, we were right on in our forecast of the stock profiled in our TGO Report rising big-time today!
One interesting note for gold investors is that Mark Hulbert who tracks the newsletters of gold writers, is finding them to be excessively bearish.
Hulbert notes that they tend to be bearish when they should be bullish (they trade on emotion), this is a good thing for us who've remained long gold!
Some things we're working on ... In our flagship Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT) we're going to be cashing in some monster metal gainers from the last few months, riding some of our newer buys which have already jumped (we bought when, according to Hulbert, most everyone else expected metals to drop!), and we'll be looking to add a few strategic metal stocks in a few weeks.
In Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) I'm looking to recommend a dynamite $2 US-listed gold company that I guarantee you very few know about. It is setting up for a nice run in September. Its special income-generating nature reduces risk to investors and provides great upside. In fact, one of Canada's top gold investors took a 5% bite out of the company. I've been tracking it for 6 months and have been waiting to pounce ...
That's Right, All Hell's About to Break Loose!
As I continue my relentless search for gains with the accompaniment of the amazing Alpha signals, I've uncovered an idea to be profiled in what is likely Hedgehog Trader's last for-purchase gold research report of the year. As usual, the returns generated should be terrific! The factors behind this are numerous:
Some very influential resource investors have now become involved in turning a ridiculous amount of valuable metal (and we're talking OVER $26+ billion in metal and rising!), into a rich buyout for shareholders of this dirt cheap US-listed metal stock. The stock is a real beast, a veritable HULK! In fact, the company is developing a low-cost mine for the ages and already has two MAJOR high-profile, international metal producers betting on their success. Its gold, silver and copper resources are valued at 130 times its current market cap!
Not surprisingly, insiders own nearly 20% of the company and are adding more monthly! I'll soon be making some big buys of this scorching US-based metal stock in my Hedgehog Fund for its HUGE RUN in October ... and beyond.
To be alerted once this last research report of the year becomes available (soon!), please email us at wintonresearch @ yahoo.com
And put HELL CITY METAL! in the subject line. You won't want to miss it!
Aug 24: There's a good chance we'll see a bounce back for gold stocks tomorrow - especially as the HUI remains above major support at 350.
The stock profiled in our TGO Research Report looks like it's turning up over the next couple of weeks.
Gold is weak, but metals are strong. So will metal stocks pull up the price of gold? Something to watch!
Hedgehog Nuke! (HHN) sent out an alert this morning. Hedgehog Special Ops! (HSO) sent out an alert as well.
Aug 21: President Obama to date looks like he's interested in preserving his party's foothold rather than making real changes and shaking things up. As we mentioned many months ago, he received a lot of campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs and other banks during the election - and that was a big red flag.
Oddly, both Obama and Bush and both parties have little regard for civil liberties (and word of internment camps being built in the US during Bush's office has not stopped since Obama took power). Beyond creepy.
Obama has the corrupt financial sector in his ear, and is looking to spend his way out of trouble and that will continue to build on Bush and Cheney's savaging of the financial system (woefully spending trillions of US tax dollars on wars falsely created to enrich his buddies, even as Americans lost jobs, suffer without proper healthcare and poor schools).
Obama's continuation of Little Bush's policy of spending of money that America doesn't have should bring the US into a huge period of hyperinflation. So, the silver lining is that all of this bad, destructive policy will be great for gold, silver and energy stocks! And that doesn't include the fact that if and when China divests more of its US treasuries, gold will sail much, much higher. In this scenario, the Dow could hit 20,000 or 30,000 - of course the US dollar could also but cut in half ... or worse. So any gains on that front, would be superficial in nature.
UPDATED 3:40 pm ... Aug 21: 50% Gains in a Month and Rolling!
Our microcap advisory Hedgehog High Roller! (HHHR) sent out an alert this morning and incidentally, the advisory now holds the top performing silver junior, up 50% this month! With more to come for this near-term producer! Hedgehog High Roller! is close to pulling the trigger on another under 30 cent silver stock with lots of pop - stay tuned!
Gold has gapped up on news China is dumping US treasuries (and buying gold perhaps?), I'm looking for a strong day for leveraged metal stocks, including the the company profiled in our new Omega Gold report! Hedgehog Special Ops! HSO is locking on to a highly leveraged, fundamentally attractive small gas exploration company that the Alphas also suggest has huge blue sky potential through October/November- expect a recommendation in the next 2 weeks! Plus, HSO subscribers will also be getting a preview on an international gold stock that will generate us big gains later this year - our amazing forecast soon to follow!
Hedgehog Trader Newsletter (HHT)
is seeing a lot its buys jump this week! this year metal stocks bucked the trend from the last few years when metal stocks got hammered in mid-August. HHT Newsletter subscribers already know when we think the next dips and big rises are going to come ... our Alpha Signals are all on board for this one, so I think we'll be 100% right - and in case, you need a refresh, we'll repeat our forecast in the next update!
