In response to this very nice CHART from PD, i made the post shown below

 

And now the moment you've all been waiting for;

 

 

That's the turn I've been looking for, and therefore time to strongly consider buying gold stocks, it's taken nearly a month longer than I originally thought but it is clearly here NOW. I've got a bonus coming through at month end so hopefully Gold Stocks don't rise too much between now and then.

 

Buy some calls ! (using less money)

 

I suggest NUGT, the 3X etf on Gold shares:

My Jan.$7 calls are up from $3.50 about two weeks ago to yesterday's close of $5.80-6.00,

as NUGT closed at $11.45, after hitting $12.42 earlier this week.

== ==

 

This compare NUGT with GDX over the past 10 days ... update : w/Mvg.Ave.

.

.

Note that the peak Gain in NUGT was up +30% in a few days,

while the peak gain in GDX was only +10%.

Gold Stock Comments

• NEM - Newmont Mining: My best value play and weighted accordingly. Price/book is a mere 1.19 and I have no reason to believe book value is overstated. Trailing PE is 10.04 and the dividend yield is 4.10%. What's not to like?
  
• GG - Goldcorp: A major Canadian gold miner with a respectable PE and dividend. Goldcorp trades right at book value (.99 to be precise).
  
• ABX - Barrick Gold Corporation: Another major Canadian gold miner with a respectable dividend. Earnings were negative last quarter due to writedowns. Dividend appears solid. Price/per book is a mere .88 (less than book value).
  
• GDX - Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF. Rather than pick too many additional stocks and following them all, I put 10% of my basket into a gold miners ETF basket.
  
• GLDX - Global X Gold Explorers ETF. This is a speculative play on gold explorers. Some of the companies in the ETF are likely to go bust. Hopefully some will strike it big. I weighted this according to risk, with only 5% of my basket.
  
• HMY: Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited: This is a South African mining company that stands to appreciate from its gold mining operations and also from a falling Rand.
  
• SBGL - Sibanye Gold Limited: This is another South African miner and arguably my most speculative play. It is weighted accordingly at 2% of the basket.
  

Silver Stock Comments

• SLW - Silver Wheaton Corp: SLW has a respectable PE and pays a reasonable dividend. It is a play on the price of silver which I expect to recover at some point.
  
• PAAS - Pan American Silver Corp: PAAS is a major silver producer with a nice dividend yield of 4.10%. Pan American is trading at 68% of book value.
