Current USERX price = 9.03, Down 45 cents (4.7%) since the last report 6 weeks ago.
Introduction (repeated from prior Reports):
I have been using my unique SKI indices
to predict price changes in the precious metals' market for more
than two decades. And my indices continue to mark the critical
points. I have initiated a subscription website since 1/13/06
(yes, Friday the 13th) after having posted free updates for years
at www.321gold.com. SKI is a timing service; although
almost everyone seems to believe that market timing is impossible,
that IS what the SKI indices have done for 36 years.
The SKI indices contain short-term (16-20
trading days), intermediate-term (35-39 trading days), and long-term
(92-96 trading days) indices. A more comprehensive description
of these mathematical indices and their history is found here.
Basically, the indices compare today's price to prices from a
specified prior time period. The name of the index specifies the
time period (e.g., 92-96 index = compare today's price to prices
from 96, 95, 94, 93, and 92 trading days earlier). Although I
use the oldest gold mutual fund, USERX, for analyses, the predictions
are applicable to the broad precious metals' market. I do not
recommend or analyze specific stocks, but my subscribers from
around the world regularly discuss individual issues on our Forum.
In addition to the truly unique SKI indices, I also use "run
patterns" to guesstimate turning points in the precious metals'
market. A "run" refers to a pattern of daily up and
down market closing prices. If the market has 3 consecutive days
of higher closing prices, the run is "3 up". If prices
then decline for 2 consecutive days, the run becomes "3 up
and 2 down". If prices then close higher the next day, the
run changes to "2 down and 1 up". Some people have referred
to run patterns as "worms". A run pattern is only completed
after the direction of closing prices has changed. I have compiled
a listing of every run pattern that has ever occurred and generated
probabilities that the end of the run marks a high or a low, moderated
by the indices themselves. New Material
My last public presentation was on January 29, 2024 and was delayed due to a sudden hip replacement. I needed to devote my limited time to subscribers.
That presentation has indicated a long position on 1/25/24 at USERX 9.48. I could take that long position (after having sold in December) because we had a 218-222 buy signal that provided a quick sell-stop. I provided some indication of the rising sell stop and noted that the rising sell-stop would sell in 6 trading days if USERX didn’t rise to 9.78.
The quick sell signal was generated in 6 trading days as USERX declined on 2/02/24. Therefore, we had no indication of bullishness even as gold declined and began to rise on 2/14/24. The gold stocks were suggesting that the only index that was left on a buy was to be tested on the downside. That’s the very important 92-96 index.
Last week, the 92-96 index began to be tested! On Tuesday (2/27/24), USERX declined to 8.68 and fell below 1 of the index’s 5 back prices. On Wednesday (at 8.59)
the index fell again to test the index.
That continued on Thursday at 8.70.
Is that an intermediate low in the gold stocks? If there’s an actual 92-96 index sell signal, we’d have the opportunity to get an important new 92-96 buy signal.
Best wishes, Jeff
If you are interested in following and learning more about the SKI indices, I'll write another Report in three weeks or you can shell out the big bucks for a SKI subscription. Weekly Updates are available by subscribing for a month (or longer if you're wise and cheap enough to want to save money) at my website www.skigoldstocks.com for the princely sum of $30 (for a one month subscription) or more ($240 for an annual subscription). I also provide more frequent intra-week daily messages/alerts at a slightly higher price along with access to our informative Forum. ###  SKI archives
