Portfolios (Gold and Silver) Stocks and ETFs

Recommended Posts

Before I talk about my portfolios, I will talk about my goals.

 

My first goal is to try to respond as best as possible to what the market is doing and act appropriately. I am talking about trend-following discipline.

I determine my market posture through a careful analysis of the charts. I observe the market direction - up, down or sideways – with the Gold & Silver index – Philadelphia (XAU), Gold index, Silver index or other leader index where the stock acts. Acting in concert with the market direction, I increase my odds of success.

 

I pick stocks to buy based on a careful analysis of the historical charts. I also consider other factors, such as net cash from operating activities, volume and beta.

 

When I expect the market will go up, my market posture is bullish. That means, I’m buying stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). My market posture remains bullish until my "stop" is reached.

 

When i expect the market will go down, my market posture is bearish. That means, I’m buying inverse Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). My market posture remains bearish until my "stop" is reached.

 

When I don't expect anything, my market posture is neutral. That means, I’m not buying.

 

My second goal is to explain in simple terms the reasons for my decisions.

I´m going to have 7 independent portfolios, of which the first 6 are long/short trend-following with ETFs of different leverage, and the 7 is a long trend-following with Gold and Silver stocks.

I have separate emergency stop for each ETF/stock, which is influenced by portfolio volatility/leverage and my perception of trend strength and risk.

The ETFs of different leverage allow investors to position themselves, according to their risk profile and return.

 

Two additional tips to review before investing in a leveraged ETF

1. Decide first on the amount of leverage that is appropriate from 1x to 3x.

2. Before placing a trade, confirm the ticker. As this products have similar ticker between long and short version, double checking will prevent errors.

Emergency stop

The emergency stop that I use is activated if the price moves downwards too far.

Because of the high volatility of the stocks and 300% leveraged ETFs, the stop is placed farther away from the current price, implies that the portfolios that use these assets have higher risk.

When my uncertainty is higher or plan to sell, the stop is closer to the current price.

This means, that all trades can be done in real account.

As all entries will be the opening price, it is possible to buy at a lower price, on many occasions, than I can get in the portfolios.

The emergency stop, I'll inform before too.

 

All entries and exists, I'll inform before they happen in the portfolios.

Why I decided to have multiple portfolios and not one or two?

 

(this response also explains the other portfolios).

 

 

Basically, it's because I prefer not to mix different leveraged ETFs.

 

If I chose, I´d buy only 2x or 3x leveraged ETFs, but I decided to have different types of leverage separately because my risk profile is not equal to all investors.

 

I understand that can be a little confusing, many portfolios, but despite giving me more work, I think it is more complete and then later, it will be possible to do readings that I find interesting. I can compare the difference of return between the various types of leverage, and also between ETFs and stocks, these are also some of my goals.

The PHLX Gold/Silver Index (XAU) is up since the end of July.

After rising considerably, a fall can happen in the short term.

Because of this, I'm waiting for something that makes me decide to buy.

I would prefer, since I'm out, a decline in the market, but Mr. Market says: "Prefer whatever you like. I don't care."

I was expecting a decline, but maybe it will not happen yet.

 

So…

 

I will buy:

 

SPDR Gold Shares (GLD)

PowerShares DB Gold Double Long ETN (DGP)

Direxion Daily Gold Miners Bull 3X Shrs (NUGT)

iShares Silver Trust (SLV)

ProShares Ultra Silver (AGQ)

VelocityShares 3x Long Silver ETN (USLV)

 

 

GREAT PANTHER SILVER LTD (GPL)

NEVSUN RESOURCES LTD (NSU)

FORTUNA SILVER MINES INC (FSM)

 

I picked 3 stocks, which are in concert with the market direction.

All of the stocks mentioned above increased their net cash provided by operating activities from 2010 to 2011.

I still feel that the PHLX Gold/Silver Index (XAU), after rising considerably, may have a correction soon, but as long as the trend remains up it is possible to go higher.

I will expect that Gold/Silver market continues to go up, as long as the XAU continues to close above the previous low 185,85 and key support. If close daily below 185,85 I consider the possibility of exit.

I have wanted to try trade without any stop loss because I take a long time to put the stop loss in all assets but the market fell and I took time to act.

In rare situations I'll consider the possibility to buy and sell partial positions and I will not use the amount that I have determined at the start. (4000 USD)

This would have been one of these situations.

I'll spend more money on commissions, but I'll protect the portfolio.

 

I wrote before about how these stocks and leveraged ETFs have a high risk, in particular the NUGT and the DUST are extremely volatile. There are two alternatives, DGLD and UGLD, which tend to be less volatile but do have low volume.

The GLD (Gold) has run into resistance and has begun to fall, the SLV (Silver) shows the possibility of a double top.

I should've trusted in my feeling.

Now, I'm going to wait the confirmation that the rising support trend line in XAU is broken.

The rising support trend line on the XAU daily chart has been broken, but I also see a possible descending wedge.

After a downward breakout, price sometimes stops below the wedge and soars upward.

The confirmation happens after an upward breakout of the descending resistance line.

Yesterday the XAU declined during the day but ended up positive. So, the rising support line continues to support despite yesterday's Gold and Silver correction.

Gold Silver Stock Portfolio.

New Positions.

 

I´ll buy:

 

Thompson Creek Metals Co. Inc. (TC)

SILVERCORP METALS, INC (SVM)

 

Thompson Creek Metals had broken the ma50 moving average resistance. I think that will continue to rise.

 

I think the correction of the last few weeks is a buying opportunity.

SILVERCORP METALS, INC is in concert with the market direction. When the silver/gold starts to rise, the stock will go up too.

 

All 2 stocks mentioned above increased their net cash provided by operating activities from 2010 to 2011.

The silver and gold chart has formed a pennant/flag pattern and the breakout has occurred.

This trend is likely to continue.

It seems to me a good time and opportunity to invest.

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.
