Uranium Is Going to Double or Triple... But There's One Problem

Markets work...

That was the lesson we heard from CEO of Sprott U.S. Holdings, Rick Rule. Rick is a master resource investor. He has made many millions for himself and his clients. And last month, he gave one of the best presentations at the Stansberry Society Natural Resources Conference.

My publisher Porter Stansberry – who hosted the event – had challenged him to talk about the world's most-hated commodity. As Rick noted, that's a "target-rich environment."

Many commodities have been in multiyear bear markets. Very few are popular these days.

Leave No Rock Unturned to Find Natural Resource Stocks with Game-Changing Catalysts

by Jason Mallin
The Gold Report


Renowned investor Peter Lynch once said, “The person who turns over the most rocks wins the game.” All resource investors should be turning over rocks, but who has time to track hundreds of companies, to visit projects, to meet with management? The Gold Report has asked Sprott’s Rick Rule, Canaccord Genuity’s Joe Mazumdar and Oil & Gas Investments Bulletin’s Keith Schaefer to identify a select group of natural resource companies they feel are poised to make a move before the end of the year. We will be tracking these precious metals and oil & gas companies with game-changing catalysts on the newly launched Natural Resources Watchlist.
The Gold Report: A catalyst is identifying a future event that will materially impact a share price for better or for worse: A maiden NI 43-101. Funding from a strategic partner. Permitting and feasibility studies. Before we talk about specific companies, would you tell us what types of companies you follow and why you are following them?

Please take a look at the 1-year chart of CTCT (Constant Contact, Inc.) below with my added notations:
CTCT
After declining from January until the beginning of April, CTCT slowly worked its way higher. During the last 3 months the stock created at clear resistance level at $30, while also forming an up-trending level of support as well. At some point the stock had to break one of those levels, and yesterday the stock broke support.
CTCT broke its up-trending support level. A short trade could be made on a rally up to that level with a stop placed above the entry. However, if the stock were to break above the $30 resistance traders might want to look to get long on the stock instead.

The Tale of the Tape: VIPS had a level of resistance at $160 and the stock broke that resistance. The ideal long opportunity would be on a pullback down to or near that previous $160 level. On the other hand, one would want to enter a short position on a break back below that level.

We Are Now On The Verge Of A Shocking Global Oil Shortage

kingworldnews.com / June 10, 2014
Today an acclaimed money manager warned King World News that the world is now on the verge of a shocking oil shortage. Stephen Leeb also issued a major warning regarding the U.S. dollar and why investors need to be extremely cautious of this currency in his fascinating interview.
Leeb: “Eric, the latest news item that really caught my attention revealed that most consultants which specialize in the crude oil industry feel that the Saudis are going to have to pump out record amounts of oil in the 4th quarter because of the crude oil output deficit that currently exists in the world….

Long Volatility For A Trade $VIX

Is the bottom in for volatility? I have no idea. No one does. But I will say a there is a favorable risk/reward here from the long side to start the week. Why is it so good? Well, we have a defined level where we’ll know if we’re wrong. If we take out Monday’s lows, all bets are off. If you can stomach it, you can also use Friday’s low as the mental stop. It’s an easy entry point.
Here the potential failed breakdown last week and quick recovery back above the early 2013 lows. It’s when things like this occur that I get excited. The possibilities if correct are tremendous. But more importantly, if we’re wrong – who cares? The risk is very well defined. Also, between what I’m hearing from traditional media and the amount of bearish superlatives about volatility, I’m pretty sure we’re close to an important low. But the best part is we’ll know if we’re right very soon and the risk/reward is very much skewed in favor of volatility buyers.
6-9-14 vix
We’re looking at a daily candlestick chart of the $VIX going back a couple of years. Last time we were down here, Volatility spiked 23% in a few days and over 60% in less than a month. I think we can see something very similar:

There are a lot of ways to take advantage of this: ETFs, Options, Equities, etc. The execution really depends on your time horizon and risk parameters. I just like the price behavior, so I wanted to point out what I’m seeing.

Retail ETF Poised for a Breakout?

For a good period of time this year we kept hearing the phrase "Blame it on the weather," as the excuse for soft retail sales. Even though the broad market isn't up a ton in the first five months of the year (up 5%), retail has lagged (Down 3%), see chart below.

As you can see, buyers have stepped into Dollar Tree (DLTR) after resistance was taken out. Carl Icahn seems to think Family Dollar (FDO) is undervalued, as he has announced this morning he has established a large stake in the company (see article here).
If XRT breaks resistance of this small pennant pattern, odds increase it will bring in new buyers, similar to what took place in DLTR!
