1. JUNE MARKETS                       
2. UP STARS/DOWN STARS
3. GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES                        
4. QUOTES

6. LETTERS

 

RED MARKET ALERT 5/22-5/26 = Stocks close higher but Dow logs longest weekly losing streak since 2011

 

1.    Next week will be watching if XI imposes June 1 tariffs (Down) or postpones until June meeting with Trump (Up)

2.    YOU BET YOUR LIFE (SAVINGS)  EPISODE THREE: HOW LOW IS LOW?

OUR RECOMMENDATION HAS BEEN TO RAISE CASH LEVELS, SELL INTO STRENGTH & LOCK IN PROFITS!

Specifically, we recommended selling at 2954 May 1 [Tops 2954.13] and, if covered, reselling 2945 SPX Friday May 3.

• P1 2869 ACHIEVED
• P2 2812 ACHIEVED
• P3 2750?  Perhaps we will see this upcoming test next week??

 

WHY MAY? In addition to astro indicators, five more potential EARTHLY reasons beyond the FOMC May meeting & subpar UBER IPO:

• Future disappointing corporate earnings & forecasts (within a bifurcated stock market)
• US/China Trade Negotiations may not come soon, and that would mean more market volatility
• A classic “Sell in May and Go Away” (unlike last year)
• Assorted geopolitical swan events e.g. China, [Iran, UK, Turkey, N Korea, etc.]
• THE BIGGEST REASON IS THAT GIVEN MARKETS WERE AT RECORD LEVELS.

WE HAVE YET TO SEE ANY STRONG EARTHLY (OR HEAVENLY) REASON FOR MARKETS TO MOVE MUCH HIGHER AT THIS POINT IN TIME!

Proper Valuations:

DJIA > 25000

SP > 2750

US$ ~ 98

UBER < 42

TSLA < 200

OIL 54-60

 

IMHO “Improper” Valuations

US 10 Year Bond  <2.50

TIPS  > 113

COPPER < 3.20 

BITCOIN > 6000

GOLD < 1370

SILVER < 18

THINK TRADITIONAL SWISS AND PRESERVE CAPITAL: HEDGE AND PROTECT AGAINST DOWNSIDE RISK.

 

What-happens-when-you-buy-assets-journalists-warn-are-in-a-bubble

Stock selection is once again important. Like many others will be looking buying stocks sporting strong cash flows, sound balance sheets and growing dividends.

Actively managed portfolios are deservedly outperforming index funds in the current bifurcated markets.

 

3. We are forecasting June gold to be above $1300 and gold bugs to be happier this coming August!

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!

With seasonal weakness waning and unfavorable astro gone in June, we advise patient precious metal investors to pay attention to stock selection and be prepared to add this 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+.

 

4. “It is not difficult to envision a scenario where this Twitter tantrum turns into a fully-fledged bear market…. Valuations will need to be dropped. Skeletons may come out of the closet of many a once-highly valued tech unicorn.”

incent Deluard, macro strategist, INTL FCStone

HW: You betcha!

 

“Investors are still coming to grips with the idea that we’re going to be living with some kind of tariffs, and they definitely aren’t pricing in 25% tariffs on all Chinese goods. So it’s one step forward, two steps back because the market is still trying to figure out the impact of all this.”

Carlos Dominguez, chief investment officer, Element Pointe Advisors

HW: I love to dance Tango!

 

“Continued weak global economic data and the lack of a specific date for the resumption of U.S.-China trade talks are clouding earnings visibility and weighing on risk appetite. Markets are pricing in the harsh reality that trade tension is more likely to linger than quickly be resolved, as had been the consensus expectation anchoring sentiment until late April.”

Alec Young, managing director, FTSE Russell global markets research

HW: What me worry?

 

5. ‘Godfather’ of chart analysis says Wall Street shouldn’t bet on stock-market records anytime soon

Tesla’s demise could bring down the whole ‘house of cards,’ warns strategist

 

6. READER: You’re giving excellent predictions. Other than weekly letter do you have any other services you provide like daily letter something like that?

HW: Yes, it is mostly commodity focused but some stocks trades.  Currently the price is $10K annually but we plan to raise the price this Summer.

 

READER: I have SLV call options due in January 2021. The strike price is 15. SLV is 13.53. 

I am still holding them at a loss of 41%. Not very smart to not have sold them, but I do expect that they will not be down soon or certainly may be positive and in the money at some point. Wishful thinking?? Or! Not??

HW: Given of our views of gold in June, August and the Fall I would HOLD!

 

READER: How low do we go? I think we go lower.

HW:  While the bottom could be in and SPX 2800 a short term floor, it is a 50-50% we can see 2750 (or lower) ahead.
