Christopher Aaron: Golds False Breakdown Means a Strong Bull Market Ahead
Tom welcomes back to the show, Christopher Aaron. He discusses his new analysis that he recently discussed at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference.
He discusses the history of gold and miners over the past few years. We’ve seen a period of consolidation of the last couple of years, but that is shifting. In September, we didn’t see a wash-out in the metals after a breakdown. Instead, we went above the 1650 level. Buyers started to move into the market, which was different behavior than what we have seen. The big picture is we have seen a false breakdown that doesn’t carry through. Numerous shorts had to cover following that event. The key takeaway is a false breakdown is a signal for a move in the opposite direction.
The big picture is this market should now be biased to the upside. He expects a good end to the year for gold. He believes the next rally towards the 2000 level will be successful. The first sign will be that the monthly close will prelude a breakout to new all-time highs. He provides some targets for where gold should reach.
Chris discusses what is realistic for silver markets in the coming couple of years. Eventually, when we reach the $45 dollar level, investors may want to take some profits. It probably won’t blast through it right away. He discusses some of the industrial demand factors for silver.
He believes that inflation will plateau around the 4.5% range, and later it may rise higher. This is not what markets are expecting.
Valuations for miners are quite low, and the price for reserves in the ground is quite low. We’re looking at 5x to 10x lower valuations than ten years ago. He notes that sentiment remains quite low in the miners and metals. Only very prudent investors are moving into metals.
He notes there are those who like to keep the population in a state of fear and concern. They like the state of perpetual war, and fiat currency is what permits this behavior. They want to keep people on the taxation and inflation treadmill. We need a system that prevents government from spending beyond its means.
What is important to keep in mind is that society in many ways is progressing. Despite the bad things, there is a lot of potential, and it’s important to keep space for possibility and optimism.
