The rising market in the first quarter was built on technology and consumer stocks, not the safe, income-producing shares that led it higher at the start of 2011.
There are plenty of reasons why Gold is the wrong place to invest at this particular moment in investment history. For starters, the largest holder of gold, the metal, is not the various countries in their formidable reserves. Instead, Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) are the largest owners of gold. This means that countries were able to offload this precious metal at an equally precious profit because retail investors were happy to pay the premiums they wanted. In return, large gold-holding countries like China were able to reinvest their new wealth in US Treasuries at rates that make even the most uninvolved taxpayer nervous.
Aside from the fact that retail investors, through exchange traded funds, hold so much gold, there is a point in the overall equity market where investors see the premium charged and limited upside potential in gold and realize that even after some form of recovery, equities are still cheaper. This has slowly been making itself apparent as gold as edged a little lower from its all-time highs and more money has started flowing into the equity markets – which are a lot more liquid and cheaper.
However, there are some options for people who want to play the gold game. Unfortunately, however, those options involve taking a longer-term, bearish stance on gold. Just as oil hit its high of nearly $150 in 2007 and remains more than 40% below that high today, it seems evident that when gold starts to pull back, it too might take some time to return to the recent highs (in fact, in the 1990’s, it seemed gold would never tough the $400 level again, yet here we are).
One way to capitalize on the long-term negative returns that gold is expected to deliver in the future, investors can invest in inverse exchange traded funds. By investing in inverse exchange traded funds, investors are essentially playing the odds that gold will depreciate in value. Understanding of course that gold will not drop overnight, some investors might become anxious with the little movement that such funds deliver, but just as surely as gold reached beyond $1,100 per ounce, it will also dip below that same $1,000 level again in the future. The question, of course, is when.
With the right amount of patience and a long-term strategy, investors could incorporate a bearish gold investment with other securities that are currently poised to rebound in the long-term, such as some equities that are currently out of favor. After all, contrarian investing has a history of making certain investors very rich.

Commodities and stocks have been on fire the past two weeks and I think it just may be time for things to take a breather. While I continue to stay long, taking some money off the table to lock in profits is a safe play. Just from a quick glance at the charts we can tell the odds are pointing to some type of pause or pullback in the coming days. I figure any day now we could see some profit taking.
Gold ETF Trading – GLD
The Gold ETF is one of my favorite trading vehicles. Using simple trend lines and looking at the recent price action you can see that the price of gold is looking ready for a pullback. Buying at this level is chasing and that generally means you buy at the high and panic out at the low.
Silver ETF Trading – SLV
The Silver ETF looks to be in the same boat as gold. I expect to see some sideways price action or a pullback.
Natural Gas ETF Trading – UNG
The Natural Gas ETF sure has given everyone a wild ride in the past 6 months. The bear market is still in place which can be seen on the daily chart. So far this week the price has broken down and trading at the $11 support level. This fund could generate a buy or sell signal with my trading model in the coming days so I am waiting for a clear entry and exit point before jumping on the gas wagon.
Crude Oil ETF Trading – USO
The Crude Oil ETF has broken above its resistance trend line this week but still struggling to move above the August high. Volume is declining while the price rises which is a bearish indicator. USO looks ready for some type of a pullback as it digests this breakout before moving higher.
Mid-Week GLD, SLV, UNG, USO ETF Trading Report
What does the general public hear and think about the stock market?
From recent emails, local financial news shows, family, friends etc… all I am hearing is how strong the market is. Indexes are making new yearly highs and company earnings are better than expected this quarter. Sounds like all we need to do is buy and life will be great!
Well in my opinion the market is the perfect tool for misguiding and frustrating the general public. All my indicators are telling me we need more of a correction before rallying much higher. The market (smart money) generally anticipates good and bad news several weeks if not a month in advance. So the question is:
Are company earnings already priced into the market? Is all this positive market coverage getting the general public to buy up here at this possible market top?
The answer is, only time will tell. No one knows for sure what the market is going to do but short term moves can be predicted with relatively high accuracy. Don’t get me wrong, I am still bullish on the market but with all this good news becoming public information you have to wonder what is next. I am still long the market but trimming my positions to lock in profits and still stay in the game.
