| The most disgusting form of socialism is of course…socialism for the rich.
 
The “playground for the rich” US stock market chart.
There’s an enormous broadening formation in play, and that suggests a market that is out of control.
Stock market welfare has been in existence for hundreds of years, but the 2008 financial crisis was when it became truly enormous and permanent.
With the Dow down 400 points yesterday, US politicians raced forward to promise (again) that more borrowed and printed money to save the stock market welfare bums was imminent.
Having said that, investors should remember that the Zimbabwe stock market soared when Dictator Robert Mugabe ruled the nation.
Under Mugabe, the real economy suffered a massive depression while the fake economy (the stock market) soared relentlessly higher.
That’s because he was one of the biggest money printers in the history of the world.
It’s unlikely that money printing in America makes US stock market welfare bums as rich as it did in Zimbabwe, but since the lows of 2008 I’ve been adamant that investors could put some money in US stocks.
That’s based on the premise of money printing to infinity not just in the coming years, but in the coming decades.
Based on traditional forward-looking P/E (price to earnings) ratios, the US stock market can be considered overvalued.
Based on my forward-looking price to money printing ratios, the stock market is a roaring buy!
What about gold? The short-term gold chart.
A key third fan line breakout is in play, but the market is treading water as investors wait for the next tranche of borrowed money that the creep state calls “economic
stimulus for the mightiest economy of all time”. The weekly gold chart.
Unfortunately, there’s now a sell signal on the 5,15 moving average series and the 14,5,5 Stochastics oscillator is making a beeline lower.
The bottom line is that investors need to be prepared to see gold trade a bit lower and potentially approach my $1788 buy zone.
At first glance, this GDX chart doesn’t look very exciting, but investors can create their own excitement with good tactics!
It’s unknown whether gold actually reaches $1788 or not. Investors who are nervous about missing out can buy GDX now, based on the emerging pattern of higher minor trend lows and higher highs.
Stoploss enthusiasts can use $38 and/or $37 to buy now and protect themselves against a deeper reaction.
If there is no US election mayhem or fresh money printing, gold stock investors may need to wait until Chinese New Year physical market buying begins in December to launch the next big rally.
The GOAU chart.
Some mining stock ETF investors like GDX and others prefer GOAU. I like both! GOAU trades at about half the price of GDX and it can outperform GDX during major gold bullion rallies.
Stoploss fans can take note of the lows around $21.50 and $21 that I’ve highlighted on the chart. Investors who want to be a part of what could potentially become the most violent US election in history may want to cast a vote for gold, and place buy orders for some quality mining stocks right now!
