  1. Are You Prepared For May Markets?

My trip to Hong Kong is now past.  It has somewhat changed my style of forecasting.

For example, in the past I would say “There is a 90% chance that Markets will drop 3-10/12% May/June.”  Now I say: “There is an 88%+ chance!”

Henry Weingarten is the Managing Director of the Astrologers Fund. His investment philosophy combines a healthy dose of fundamental and technical analysis along with a look at the stars. He believes we’re in for a near term 3-13% correction in US Stock Markets, but they’ll finish 2019 higher. He’s also calling for gold to finish higher in 2019 and 2020. Oil will come down to the $52-58 per barrel range from its current mid 60’s perch. USD is looking good but gold is looking better. Interesting times.

Bottom Line:

Ideally after a US/China Victory rally but no matter what, over the next 1-3 weeks, protect profits by placing trailing profit stops, raising cash, writing calls, buying puts etc.  or

sweat out late Spring but relax year end!

Proper Valuations:

DJIA > 25000+

SP > 2800

IMHO “Improper” Valuations

US 10 Year Bond  <3.00

TIPS  > 112 OB

OIL > 60

COPPER < 3.20 

BITCOIN > 4000

GOLD < 1370

SILVER < 18

  1. Business & Banquets

Lots of good companies to watch and BE PREPARED TO BUY LATE MAY/JUNE ON!

  1. 3. We continue to recommend Maximum Allocation or fresh precious and base metal investments for the  intermediate and long term, given that the precious metal sector and copper are obviously very undervalued!

Happily, there will be less competition from MMJ & Bitcoin “investors” as time goes on.

With seasonal weakness upon us and with unfavorable astro still in force, we advise patient precious metal investors to pay attention to stock selection and be prepared to buy upon SERIOUS WEEKNESS (TEST OF 1255-58?) OR TIMEWISE JUNE/SUMMER 2019.

  • Gold remains cheap geopolitical crisis insurance.
  • For investors who cannot or will not buy the $US currency as well as investors who wish to safely and cheaply hedge their US$ exposure, ONLY GOLD IS AS GOOD AS GOLD!

Gold FV $1370 = Commodity FV: 1332 + Currency FV: 1380 + Inflation Metal FV:1368 + Crisis FV: 1400.

Gold/Silver ratio à 78  Silver FV $18.

INVESTORS: We plan to stay LONG into H2 2019 (recommending a precious metal sector hold rating and only occasional hedging, selling or profit taking).

We remain disinclined to short or sell until gold is overvalued e.g. $1400-1450. For silver our first selling numbers remain $20+.
