CGE, Corex Gold Corp.

Currently at $0.17, it's just two cents away from possibly breaking a decade-plus down trend.

Here's the 2-year chart:

That's our plan, as we currently have shares at an average price of $0.145 bought last month.

CID, Cicada Ventures

 
Cicada Ventures trades under ticker CID in Canada.

There's no website we can find, or operations, however that doesn't bother us because much more importantly it hit $0.02 today, for only the 2nd time in the past 5 years, on unusually high volume:



The $0.02 print today isn't shown on the chart above, however it has happened as of this writing.

What can be seen on the chart is that volume spikes occur every once in a long while but don't typically lead to anything more significant. 

Possibly this time it's different.  We don't know, or offer any such opinion.  We can state that it's not a bad idea to accumulate such stocks then wait and see what happens. 

An example is Balto Resources (BAL.H), which is another Canadian penny stock that seems to have nothing going for it other than a chart.  And an almost 4000% price gain over the past year, when it had the type of flat-lined left-for-dead chart that CID sports now:


We're not stating or even suggesting that CID is the next Balto.  Some of these type of trades work exceptionally well while some disappear and become nothing more than a write-off, so it's important to never buy too much and to spread the risk around.

We bought CID for $0.015 and BAL.H for $0.05 in October, neither diarized herein. 

These stocks and charts are presented only as examples, and because CID may be the type of accumulation play some of our readers look for. 

If you're aware of similar charts, please send them to us.  Contact info is in the fine print below each post.

TBT Long-Term Down Trend Broken, Adding 3rd Position

 
TBT is the ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Treasury ETF.

In the charts below we see a very long-term trend of support and resistance being broken in bullish fashion:




We'll add a third position of TBT when it trades above $35.70 which is the November high. 

When stock markets drop it's common for cash from some of that selling to flow into treasuries purchases in which case TBT would go down, so it could take quite some time yet before treasuries plunge in earnest which would be commensurate with rising interest rates.  However we're comfortable adding positions as we go along if the situation warrants it, as it does now. 

We will set a sell stop to close only this 3rd TBT position at $32.95 which is just below its low of 2017, and we'd keep the existing two positions open in that case. 

For background on our TBT positions, please see:

SJB Update

 
Our last update, nearly two months ago, on SJB can be read by clicking here.

SJB is the Short Junk Bonds ETF

Here's its chart (click to expand it):


Monthly momentum (not shown) has turned positive for the first time since mid-2014. 

Quarterly momentum is set to turn positive for the first time in SJB's history, and it likely will after the first quarter of 2018.

While SJB usually trades inversely to the overall stock market, we like that it has remained relatively flat during the past few months while equities rallied virtually daily.  We believe this shows comparative strength and reveals a bottom may be in evidence. 

Certainly it'll turn much higher when stocks drop, and that's very long overdue. 

Major trend changes often occur in conjunction with the changing of the calendar year.  Further, markets have being going ever higher supposedly in ongoing anticipation of tax reform being enacted in the U.S.

The utterly over-hyped "tax reform" is in fact little more than a cynical farce changing almost nothing while pandering as always to special interest groups (and at the risk of upsetting many dear readers we're compelled to point out parents and homedebtors are major special interest groups - think about it), and will prove to have nothing of the promised economically stimulative effect. 

It may, along with the end of 2017, ironically mark the end of an epic bull run fuelled on nothing more than debt and misplaced hope.  And who knows what'll happen during or after the inevitable crypto-crash.  How many will have been bitconned [sic] out of their life's savings?

We'll see. 

In the meantime we already know that despite the "booming economy" and historically low interest rates somehow 2017 offered a new high in retail bankruptcies

2018 should shatter that high in turn, and that too would boost SJB.

We'll add an unprecedented fourth SJB position when it trades above $23.40 

Above that level the 20-month down trend shown in blue in the above chart will be broken, and thereafter it shouldn't be too long before the 6-year down trend in red is broken.

Everyone All In?

 
This chart of ETF inflows, as of the end of October, suggests everyone is "all in" on equities:

Any price below the psychologically significant level of $1.00 would be a red flag at this point, and we've set our stop at $0.95 which is just below its recent low.
