The Chart du Jour

Hi Ho, Hi Ho,
It's Higher Gold Should Go

April 30, 2001

By, Barclay T. Leib

In perusing the charts for the coming week, the most compelling daily chart pattern we could find appears to be gold. Gold's firm close on Friday within the $260-$267 range presages on a charting basis alone the emergence of a more steady and impressive upmove in the next few days.

On a weekly chart basis, is $350 possible? Leonardo Fibonacci, if alive and looking at the chart below, would say yes.

Moreover, we had occasion last week to speak with a few old cohorts still in the metals business. Never have we heard a body of people so depressed, even as gold is slowly turning higher. It's almost as if they all know the metal is tight to borrow, and lease rates have started to trade more actively, but because of their long involvement in this market, their brains are stultified from seeing or believing in the new bullish trend.

But for us it's not that hard to see or accept. The Fed eases in an attempt to throw the tech world a life line, and another unintended consequence results: a late cycle precious metals move. It's like pushing a balloon into a multi-sided open box: push too hard on one side, and something unforseen pops out another side. The recent drubbing of the 10-year and 30-year bonds are sending us a similar message.

We're buyers of gold with a trading stop set just under $259.


Non-subscribers are invited to sign up for a quarterly subscription below. Sand Spring's latest subscriber-only article "Four Themes for 2001 and Beyond," as well as our prior February 20th article "Measuring Financial Time: The Magic of Pi," will both be accessible on the final page of the order process. A user-id and password for web access to all past and future articles will then follow by e-mail.

It may also be of interest to some that because so much time (and thus timeliness) has now transpired, we recently released three of our 2000 subscriber-only articles. These now appear under the public Earlier Articles section of the website. Perusing through them may give one a sense of the added premium level of analysis we provide to subscribers.
