Gold‘s 1900+ Track Looks to Be in Santa’s Sack
Gold: A
year ago in this paragraph we penned: “…priced per this writing at
$1,482, our valuation measure by debasement alone of the U.S. money
supply (M2) is Gold $2,991. No, price shant rocket up that far in
2020…”To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.
With
Gold today priced at $1,890, our debasement value of Gold is $3,600:
and given all the additionally COVID-induced debasement, Gold ought have
a super 2021, perhaps not reaching all the way to $3,600. But should
history yet again repeat, Gold eventually shall catch up to debasement
value: thus price remains terrifically undervalued and shall move up
into uncharted territory above the recent all-time high of $2,089 as
2021 unfolds.
The S&P 500: A year ago in this paragraph we
penned of : “…the President being re-elected…but the Trade of the Year
is to sell the S&P going into Election Day…”
Wrong we were. And
yet the S&P is now even more excessively expensive as we‘ve ever
seen it: upon Tesla (TSLA) being added to the Index, our “live” P/E
stands to exceed 60x! Pardon the drama, but that is stock market
suicide. Especially as at this writing, the yield on the “riskless” Bond
is 1.676% vs. that on the “risk unlimited” S&P only being 1.532%
Uh-ohhh… And should the S&P halve itself, ’twould still by lack of
substantive earnings be expensive.
So there ‘tis. Plus, as herein
penned and graphically depicted (per last week’s missive) of Gold‘s rise
into year-end over recent years, ’tis thus far again playing out.
Moreover, just in time for Santa‘s sleigh ride ’round the world. For as
we go to Gold‘s weekly bars from a year ago-to-date, in settling out
yesterday (Friday) at 1887, price is now well within range to take out
the overhead descending red dots of parabolic Short trend so as to flip
’em Long in the ensuing week. (That of course barring a bunch of Short
Scrooges hitting underlying bids to make it all go wrong).
But the
point is: with Gold at 1887, the flip price as depicted at 1925, and our
“expected weekly trading range” now at 77 points, the 38-point run up
to eclipse the red dots is well within range. “Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer!
And the balance of you bunch! Lets DO this!” (A little poetic license,
there):
As for you dot counters scoring at home, the duration of
the above red dots is now 17 weeks, ranking it fifth amongst the 42
parabolic Short trends millennium-to-date. For the other prior four of
more Short duration, once they flipped to Long, the additional upside
Gold points gained were +126 (after 20 Jan ‘12), +181 (after 17 Aug
’12), +35 (after 31 May ‘13) and +148 (after 07 Sep ’18). So from the
“Fun With Numbers Dept.” were the current parabolic Short trend flip to
Long at the noted 1925 price and the average points gain following those
four other occurrences ensure, the rise would be +122 points to 2047 …
sufficiently near the All-Time High of 2089 that 2100+ would be just
fine. Whats in your hearth stocking?
Speaking of stock, the market
of such obliviously keeps rising, the S&P 500 recording its own
all-time high on Friday at 3727. That‘s carrying an obscenely high
“live” price/earnings ratio of 45.8x. Oh but wait there so much more!
The big four-wheel battery company Tesla (TSLA) goes into the S&P
500 on Monday, so we can update that … now hang on, let’s see … the
stock is $695/share of which outstanding are 947.9 million and the
trailing 12-months EPS is 57¢ which puts its P/E at 1,227.5x and by
capitalization weighting twill rank fifth amongst all 505 S&P
constituents with a 2.021% share of the Index … and WOW: that puts the
P/E of the entire S&P up to 69.7x! Cue the late, great sportscaster
Bullet Bill King: “Holy Toledo!” (Stock market suicide, indeed).
Further,
taking stock of the Economic Barometer finds it in full plunge of late,
And let‘s face it, ’tis hard to maintain the torrid pace of the Baro‘s
recovery in climbing out from COVID. ’Course the stock market per the
red line of the S&P 500 could care less about the economy, just as
it does not about earnings. (But let‘s not through cold water upon
Santa’s annual rally, lest his sleigh rudders freeze). Nonetheless,
incoming Baro metrics this past week found lower levels for December in
each of the New York Empire State, Philly Fed and National Association
of Home Builders readings, as well as slowing in both November‘s
Industrial Production and Leading Indicators, and outright shrinkage for
the month’s Retail Sales. Thus the Baro as it currently fails:
