I have been watching the iGold Advisor analysis videos for the last little while, it seems he is a rather moderate voice in terms of precious metals, and looking at the charts and the market movements. I am especially enjoying his recent videos with the 'asset class' comparisons since the FOMC rate rise last month, and how different classes reacted to the news. The channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjG_4Kg7ZWWs8o7EnfnDc9Q Last week: A very good explaination early in it about why he is producing these... [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huXKh9VJVbU[/youtube] Today: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oQNbZpowvQ[/youtube] Are there any of my fellow SilverStackers watching these before now, and have any comments? I'd certainly like to discuss some of the points he makes as I don't think all are valid in isolation, however he seems to put them all together and come to very reasonable conclusions in general. One thing I really like opposed to all the 'Pumper Perma-Bulls' is that Christopher seems to only be market-data driven and he doesn't sell PM's. On the down side he can send me to sleep watching these when I get into bed as he is a fairly relaxed and calm guy which is a good thing. On another note, his next video due later in the week will have some analysis in the Gold and Silver charts in AUD as he starts to look at the markets in various currencies. Euros and CAD already done recently. Could be very much worthwhile for us Aussies to watch.
Okay, so the latest one is up and we have the AUD currency review, followed by Gold in Silver priced in AUD. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6lACPTs__E[/youtube] Some interesting charts and comments on the AUD pricing, and also against the Loonie. I don't agree with his gold strength in AUD terms, it is purely the loss of exchange rate which is holding up the price of gold. I do not see our currency being debased but rather it falling back to historical levels. It is great for our gold miners though - plenty of profit when the exchange rate is low and their production costs are near or at below USD pricing. Certainly happy to hear peoples thoughts on his analysis - what you see as the strengths and weaknesses of the information provided?
Well, for those of you that want to learn more technical charting, Chris is looking to start a new 'deeper dive' channel including investment strategies.... looking forward to it. While I know some charting theory, I am by no means an oracle and I like to absorb information and skills wherever I can. This channel has helped me expand my knowledge on some ratios, picking early signals etc. Unfortunately, he is also going down the premium subscription path as the top level also, but more in terms of timing buys & sells and some deeper strategies. While I do not begrudge a man looking to recoup some cash for the time and effort spent making content, I just hope it does not affect what he is doing now on the free levels. There is a free 35-page report he has put up, so you can all take a look at the kind of research his is doing. I won't link it directly as I do not want to be tagged as a shill, but it's in the video description if you want it. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAkOE8ALLTA[/youtube]
The free research report is up at http://igoldadvisor.com/free-reports/ and contains some of the research that Christopher has come up with over many years, and points to what he will be putting up in his iGold Power videos. The actual stock picks will be for paid subscribers only, which is fair enough depending on price. Some interesting details in today's video, along with the breakout comparisons in the various currencies. Great to see the charts in USD, EUR, GBP, CAD & AUD all at the same point: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrJ1Xc7i1QY[/youtube]
Silver broken out of an inverse head and shoulders pattern. Target 18.50 [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VefNKjZgIHE[/youtube]
5 year breakdown of the gold to silver ratio [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MD0FyoZAmO4[/youtube]
this is several days old now, he was looking for a retracement. he seems quite a sensible chartist. he should be due for an update. skip to about 8 minutes. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIt3bp_L3N8?t=550[/youtube]
looking for support around 1300. personally I think 1300 might be weak support but we'll see. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYk88bqZWq8[/youtube]
He got a little too bullish for me but if you're interested in gold equities he has an interesting post. I think if gold moves above 1260 they will be bullish again. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GLdYJeI6oE[/youtube]
Cautionary video on the divergence between gold and miners with some examples from the bull market from 2003 on.
Another interesting review of the performance of gold mining stocks at different times when stocks crash. He does do a bit of homework and puts some thought into it.
Another good video out today. Volume high with a historical comparison in the second half of the video.
He got a little too bullish for me a one stage, now he is getting a little too bearish I suspect but worth keeping in mind for the short term.
