We hope you are doing great!

With Gold at new all-time highs and Silver breaking out of its recent consolidation since the May collapse, both precious metals have been all over the news headlines again and many traders are now asking… Is now an ‘okay’ time to buy?

The fundamental story behind why Gold & Silver are rising remains firmly in place. While short-term gyrations (and manipulations) will continue to occur, we’ve put together a short six-minute video outlining some potential bullish trades that can profit regardless of whether Gold & Silver move higher short-term. It is most definitely worth your while to check out these two bullish precious metal selections made by our own Market Timer Algorithm!

Have a wonderful weekend ahead!!

Watch for the indexes to test support 5-6% below the recent high.

We are currently at a key resistance level in the Compq and we are testing the closing high from October 2007 at 2834. We are also about 29 points away from the trading high at 2862 in that index. The levels that we need to take note of on the DOW, the SPX and the Compq are the 20 simple moving average and the prominent trend line that has been in place since September. If those key areas are breached, that could be significant and the beginning of a possible short term pullback. Stay nimble and it wouldn’t be a bad thing to consider a hedge

I feel that we will continue to push higher and 2011 will be a very bullish year. We are overdue for a correction but it shouldn’t be a massive sell off but rather more of a “cleansing” and then a resumption higher

Today’s action was especially bearish with Egypt’s civil unrest. We were overdue for a pullback and it is healthy for the market to do so. I don’t believe the pullback will be massive but only a “cleansing” and then resumption of the longer term bullish move

Market internals such as the advance/decline numbers support a lessening of bullish sentiment. We currently have a bearish divergence with the MACD and Stochastics is indicating a bearish move. The Nasdaq looks to be leading the way down and has broken and closed below a very credible trend line and the 20 simple moving average. The key is whether the investment community interprets this move to be significant and hops on the Bearish train south with follow through.

We are now in earnings season and it will be interesting to note whether we get confirmation on the bullish outlook from the collective forward guidance. January is looking quite strong and is consistent with historic seasonal tendancies for the 3rd year of a Presidential term. From a technical perspective, until the indexes break the recent trend line and the 20 simple moving average and does so on volume, I see no reason to change my bullish stance. It is always a good thing to be hedged with a contingency exit plan in place.

From a contrarian point of view, excessive optimism and speculation produces excessive, dangerous valuations. If you were to measure the valuation of current market based upon price/earnings (P/E) ratios, dividend yields, and the ratio of the stock market to GDP. All three point to excessive valuation of the overwhelming majority of stocks.

The U.S. stock market is trading at around 18 times earnings. That means the average U.S. stock portfolio bought today might double your money in 18 years. Stocks are yielding about 1.85%. Dividends on a basket of U.S. stocks bought today will pay back your initial investment in 54 years.

He also uses on of Warren Buffett’s favorite indicators. The U.S.’s GDP is about $14.75 trillion. The Wilshire 5000 index contains about 98% of U.S. stocks by market cap. If you add the missing 2% to the Wilshire, the U.S. market is worth about $14.9 trillion.

So the U.S. stock market is now priced higher than the entire output of the U.S. economy. That’s like saying the entire U.S. economy consists of nothing but a few thousand publicly traded companies. Stocks aren’t truly undervalued until the market is around 80%-85% of GDP. At 100%-plus, they’re absurdly expensive.

There sure is a lot of bullishness out there for a market that has been essentially sideways for 2010. Are we at the tail end of the biggest dead cat bounce in decades or is the new normal of massive deficit spending, criminal government policies, and bankrupt state and local government the way to prosperity?

Well, the market has been on a tear since late 2009. More than a few have been against the recovery and lost. Those with a buy and hold/hope strategy has worked just fine….. provided you didn’t make that investment between the late 90’s and the end of 2008.

How long will this recovery continue? Does the relentless decline in the dollar point to a continuing increase in stock prices and your best strategy is to buy on the dips?

The most hard fought lesson that traders learn is to “trade what you see”. If the market is moving up….buy it, but have a plan for selling. If the market is moving down…short it, but have a plan for buying. It’s a trader’s market.

We are in the Bermuda Triangle economy. Good news is bad news and bad news is good. Your broker, Cramer, CNBC, and your government all have an agenda. It’s not necessarily for you to prosper.

Trade what you see…..and have a plan for the reversal.
