It Could Be “Watch Out Below” for Gold Bugs Index (HUI)? Here’s Why (+2K Views)

Support is support until it collapses but if the 10-year support line for the HUI Index is breached it is a loooong way down!!!

So writes Chris Kimble (blog.kimblechartingsolutions.com) in edited excerpts from his original post* entitled Gold Bugs Index on 10-year support…A must hold!!!

CLICK ON CHART TO ENLARGE

Its been a rough couple of years for the Gold Bugs index (HUI), as its lost almost two-thirds of its value. The large decline has driven the HUI down to dual long-term support lines, on a monthly basis, as seen in the chart above.

Support is support until broken but if this support fails to hold for the Gold Bugs index, the next support line is a long way down there!

While the waterfall decline in gold stocks is painful for those of us already invested, the reality is that this is a setup we get a shot at only a few times in our investing life. It’s a cruel irony that those who are fully invested are now faced with the buying opportunity of a lifetime; however, it would be a shame for anyone to miss this blood-in-the-streets opportunity.

8. 2013 Will Go Down In History As THE Best Buying Opportunity for Gold & Silver Metals and Stocks – Ever!

The precious metals complex is arguably at its most bearish sentiment since the start of the bull market 12 years ago. Either the bull market is over or this will prove to be a tremendous buying opportunity. It’s clear that anyone who doesn’t believe in Gold for the long-term has sold and judging from the sentiment indicators, Gold is now in much stronger hands than when it was trading at these prices at the 2012 and 2011 lows. Despite all of the bearish sentiment, the panic and bad-mouthing, Gold (and Silver) has maintained its consolidation. Thus, if Gold is able to hold this support and turn higher, it should approach $1750 to $1800 faster than one would think. This year will go down in history as one of the best buying opportunities for both the metals and the stocks. Words: 675; Charts: 3

9. Gold Miners Have Hit Rock Bottom! Now’s the Ultimate Buying Opportunity

Looking at the recent Gold Miners price action and crash-like conditions, I cannot hide my excitement. As we judge the recent cyclical bear market within the longer term secular uptrend, we can see that Gold Miners are becoming very attractive. Whether it is the technically oversold levels that only occur a handful of times over a generation, the rock bottom valuations on nominal or relative basis, or the extreme sentiment that the overall sector is going through, all of these indicators point to one conclusion: we are fast approaching a major buying opportunity.
