Gold’s Flirting With Its 200-day Moving Average: Now’s the Right Time to Buy Some – or More

While I know many of you are concerned about the recent sell offs in gold and silver – especially gold and silver stocks – I must strongly caution you not to join in the crowd of sellers. Instead, if you’ve been waiting for a time to add to, or to initiate, a precious metals position, this is exactly what you’ve been waiting for. [Let me explain why that is the case.] Words: 311; Charts: 1

McElroy goes on to say, in part:

The current selloff has everything to do with the rising dollar which is largely a function of a falling Euro so, if you’re asking yourself if you should also be selling, you should think about the people who are selling right now. It is European investors and institutions who are dumping everything – even including gold and silver stocks - in order to raise cash to keep their heads above the rising flood of debt and insolvency. With Europeans selling out of fear and pain, you should be buying.

I know it feels risky and a little scary to be a buyer now but the right time to buy never feels right. It always feels uncomfortable and strange so if you’re not convinced take a look at the five year gold chart below with a simple 200 day moving average. [Gold closed on December 18th at $1,672.10 only marginally above its 200 day moving average of $1,663.41 and well below its 50 day moving average of $1,721.28 and its 100 day moving average of $1,708.17.]

Waiting for gold to move below its 200 day moving average (DMA) has been one of the most profitable ways to average in to gold and [we are almost there]…so, if you’re like me, and you’re a commodity bull, you should be licking your chops over this price action.

In order to obtain the overseas diversification, I [recommend BullionVault  because, while their 43,000 customers have already done business with them at some of the lowest costs available, they have just reduced their initial commission fee by 37.5% - from 0.8% to just 0.5%!
