Responding to a reader’s e-mail

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

I have received an email from a reader which made me upset, he was basically saying that I just make calls and I don’t really trade anything, especially Gold. So, Jonathan, here’s a snapshot of one my broker statements and some trades on Goldcorp,. There’s an expression in Brazilian Portuguese which says “mate a cobra e mostre o pau”.

Disclaimer: Jonathan, these are short term trades and trading is a very risky business.

Buying more gold, XGD.TO (IShares S&P – Gold ETF)

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

I’m splitting my gold position between Goldcorp (G.TO) and XGD.TO which is the Canadian Gold ETF.

The first chart is the Daily CandleVolume for XGD. Note the volume on the breakout.

In order to gain more perspective, I’m adding the weekly chart (regular candles) where you can also see the increased volume on the breakout.

Also important to notice on the chart above the two previous attempts.

Finally, let’s get an update on the Gold contract (below). Looks ready to attack the previous highs.
