It's Finally Time to Buy Gold Stocks

A safe-haven asset that has been left for dead in recent years is about to soar: gold.
 
One more Stansberry Research analyst just turned bullish on the precious metal...
 
 In the January 12 Digest, we explained why Stansberry Resource Report editor Matt Badiali is now bullish on junior mining stocks. He wrote...
 
We have a tremendous opportunity in junior miners today. As my colleague Dr. Steve Sjuggerud likes to say, they have the three hallmarks of a great contrarian trade... They're cheap, hated, and in an uptrend.

 Longtime readers know when junior miners rally, they soar... making investors five or 10 times their money.
 
 Then, in the January 15 Digest, we shared Stansberry Short Report editor Jeff Clark's research explaining gold's technical strength...
 
Gold stocks kicked off 2015 the same way they started 2014 – by breaking above resistance of both the nine-day exponential moving average (EMA) and the 50-day moving average (DMA).
 
Take a look at this chart of the Market Vectors Gold Miners Fund (GDX)...
 
 
The chart also shows a "bullish cross" of the nine-day EMA over the 50-DMA.

This is how strong gold-stock rallies begin.  (more)

1-year chart of Boardwalk (NYSE: BWP)
After a steady 5-month rally BWP dropped into October and has been trading sideways ever since. During the sideways move the stock has formed a common pattern known as a rectangle. A minimum of (2) successful tests of the support and (2) successful tests of the resistance will give you the pattern.
BWP’s rectangle pattern has formed an $18 resistance (red) and a $15 support (blue). At some point the stock will have to break one of the two levels.

The Tale of the Tape: BWP is trading within a rectangle pattern. The possible long positions on the stock would be either on a pullback to $15 or on a breakout above $18. The ideal short opportunities would be on either a break below $15 or on a rally back up to $18.
