Then – Sept 14, 2012 – and now charts, as usual.

See also the previous blog on this stock. We called for a high of, say, $31, so it got to $32, but in the meantime you have saved yourself  more than 60% of your money by exiting the position. Silver itself, is down from just under $50 to just above $18, a little over 62%. If a new low in the stock occurs it looks to be a buy for a bounce to at least $16. For non perfectionists you can buy it right away. Platinum PPLT also did exactly as predicted, see same blog.

CDE, Coeur d’Alene Mines

cde sept 2012cde b sept 2012

Coeur d’Alene is an interesting high Beta precious metal (silver) stock. Had you bought this as a hedge against the financial market falling apart you would not be a happy camper given that you are left with about 1/3 of your money. As far as the future is concerned this stock might give a hint as to what is in store. From the big chart it is clear that this stock has made three A-B-Cs in succession leaving us guessing what the next move might be. The shorter term chart shows the last A-B-C in more detail. Superficially it looks like an A, triangle B and then a C equal in size to the A. There is a problem with the triangle, the e leg goes too high but lets ignore that. Looking at the RSI (Relative Strength Index) the stock is more overbought than any time in the past 3 years. It is doubtful that the stock will trade above , say , $31 where it is already up by about 100% from a month and a half ago.

A similar message can be drawn from the platinum ETF PPLT;

It is by no means clear that this one should go up much further, in fact it looks like it is about to reverse. The light is still amber in our opinion.
