Tax Loss Selling Season

Here we go again with another season of Tax Loss Selling coming into play. Are you in or out? Scenarios unfolding are multiple, but the short story is that selling is taking place now so as to be able to buy back in the required 31 day period which puts it near the end of selling.

Good strategy because there may be few bids around as we get closer to the deadline. To make matters worse we have a breakdown in GOLD as well as OIL and the juniors are falling on their own accord from lack of interest to indifference and are not the flavour of the month any more. Timing in any trading situation is crucial to success and this time of year can generate a quick bounce in the small caps. BTW sell into a bounce and take a profit,

Historically the junior sector is at an all time low in many areas and there are some excellent companies to look at.You now have a new sector that is not micro cap but pico cap and it is here that lie the treasures. You have to work hard now to make money so do your due and be prudent. When they want to give them away, it is time to be a buyer.This is a buyer’s market so be patient and selective in your choices.

Good luck and Happy Hunting and please take profits

Cheers to all and thanks for the tremendous support you have shown,it is much appreciated

Tongue In Cheek

With tongue in cheek, I sit here writing about the past week in trading.

Is this market upswing in juniors old enough to be potty trained? It is getting a bit more difficult to WEED out the the best deals, as the picture is very SMOKE-filled with all the new arrivals. The growing BUZZ is coming from the medicinal Marijuana entries. Gold stocks will now be harvested and not drilled, as the players look for JOINT venture partners in this new field. Agricultural specialists are joining miners in their quest to bring stocks to a HIGHer level. As with any new market event, the GRASS cutters will be out to undermine the attention taken from their stories. 7/11’s and depanneurs are stocking their shelves where rumoured production plants are to be built. Companies canvassing College campuses for technical advisors, no degrees necessary. In different times people would be STONED for acting strangely in public.

Ok enough, now I will tell you how to make money from this. Who is going to provide fertilizer and nutrients to these specialized growers. Security systems and companies offering guards will be in demand. Take a look at the companies who provide equipment and lighting. There will be a lot of companies involved in this new adventure.
Profits are made from disasters to historic events, and all in between. It doesn’t matter if you are not in favour of this industry, you are in the market to make money. Hurricanes and floods make builders and wood companies profits. Shooting sprees and horrific deaths make money for gun and ammo companies as people flock to buy before regulations are implemented. This industry is going to be HUGE and it is Government backed. 2 US states sell to the public and 20 states sell medicinal. The move is afoot and you have a choice: moral standards or profits. In a short time you will own these companies in your RRSP’S and not know as over 90 % of investors don’t know what they have now. As always Do Your Due and be careful as there will be many pretenders in this sector.

Market Awareness & Introductions

Do your Due

Is this a turnaround in the junior market. Individual stocks were perking up and volume was looking a bit better. Phone calls are being answered and there is a definite buzz taking place. Don’ t jump ahead. Stay focused on the short term. Historically the market rallies from January to March in the juniors. Gold is moving higher and everyone is waiting for the huge gap to take place and all stocks will surge. THIS is not the case as each rebound has attachments to them. A large number of small to mid caps have NO money and will not survive. There has to be attrition and merger activity and it should start to build in the coming few weeks. I blindly went through about 75 charts a couple of days ago and was extremely surprised to see many have upturned and broken out and quite a few have bounced nicely. About 9 months ago you were walking down a flight of stairs when looking at charts.
So is this a turnaround or a new up market? It needs more time but the smart money has been picking away for the last few months. Trade stocks, don’ t hold on for ever. Take profits and keep core positions. You have been there before and lessons hopefully have been learned. Juniors are the next gold mines,and the next technical process or drug treatment and much more .There are many, many hard working, entrepreneurial men and women in the small to mid cap sector. Do your Diligenge and find them. That is how you can make money. Have a great PDAC

Bullish sentiment in Junior sector is growing

Everyone knows how or why to be bearish, but who knows how to be bullish. What are the signs that jump out and say it’s time to buy? Volume is one factor, and over the last 18 months a lot of stock has traded at or near record lows on a huge number of small caps. Mid caps have become small caps. News releases became liquidity events, and companies traded heavily and went nowhere, even down ticked on good press.

I see stocks starting to edge up on news. Not a lot,but at least flat or plus at end of day. Sell sides of many stocks are thinning out. Companies that are solid and have been throughout this depression are starting to raise money. Osisko vs Goldcorp has sparked some bottom searching and finally the word on the street is turning positive.
We shall see. The next two months will be very telling. Look for a flurry of mergers and acquisitions to take place and let’s see how bullish PDAC will be.

Do your due and trade cautiously.
