However, when the over-all trend begins to decline, we will shrinking this list and will add to the companies we consider “core” positions. This strategy is not for the weak of heart or stomach. It has produced big gains over multiple market cycles for our accounts. This strategy is part of our risk management policy. Weed out the weak and rally around (buy) the fundamentally strong when the price is weak.

Silver Miners Break Out of Their Consolidation Pattern

What to Do?

Prime Junior Silver Miners ETF

Long Time readers Know we have been bullish on Silver and gold since June of 2015. That is when the miners were valued at the lowest price Vs the physical metals ever. “Too Cheap”, is what we said at the time. Since then we have had some amazing rallies and some breathtaking corrections, but always working in an upward direction. It is not ending any time soon. The 2020 chart above is easy to read. A 50% decline in less than four weeks in March a really nice rally to August 1 and a correction until now. What to do? Continue reading

Ten Under $10: Hunting for Doubles – Update October 31, 2020

Market took a big correction this week. Our positions came down like everyone’s.

We have a position or two we will sell on a rally.

A possible candidate is FLY. Further research into the Airline industry suggest that lease rates were being negotiated lower even before Corona-19 Virus. Probably more so since the Communist  China Corona Virus arrived. It is beginning to look like too much swimming against the current with no visible catalyst to resolve the issue. We do not suggest buying or adding to this position. Continue reading

The Hunt for Doubles Runs Through Commodities and Crypto

  • Obvious we are in a stock market correction.
  • We’re not sure who our leadership will be coming out of the Election.
  • We’re not even sure we’ll know after the election who will be the leader unless it is a landslide, one way or the other.

There are some things we can place in the “high probability” camp as investors.

Fiat Money will continue to be printed in an effort to stave off depression – Inflation is easier to deal with and it allows the government to pay back “our” debt with cheaper dollars. What that means for you and me, is a loss of purchasing power. Continue reading

LOTM: Hunting for Doubles: Nat Gas Stocks

LOTM’s Top Picks in Natural Gas Industry

LOTM: we started following Leaders in the Nat Gas industry in July and August of this year. EQT is the largest Nat Gas producer is the USA. COG and AR are in the two to five positions depending on the revenue flows. Multiple analysts are predicting rising energy prices in 2021 and 2022 due to shut-ins, bankruptcies, and cutbacks in Cap-X spending.

What Happened Aug 1?

An Out-of-Favor Sector of the Market – Went BOOM!

This chart above is not unusual. Who is DAC? DAC (Danaos) is a container shipping company. After tripling in price, the P/E is still only 1.4 on a ttm and 1.2 on a forward basis. Value? Yes. Too cheap. Not exciting stuff – except, perhaps “the market” thinks the global economy is coming back. Don’t know. Just following the market. What I do know, is it is unusual for a shift in asset class, fund flows to end in just three weeks. Eight or nine months – OK. A two-year move? More normal. Continue reading

NEW NAME: Karora Resources (KRRGF)* $2.71
Today we are adding a less than known name but one we have owned off and on for about a year. Karora Resources is a Canadian based gold and nickel miner. This company is generating about $5 million a month in free cash flow. We KRRGF like longer-term as our belief is that we are shifting to a commodity based, investment theme globally. This trend could run from five to ten years. Therefore, we believe we have years of life in the miners with a price climax far into the future. Continue reading
