Wow I looked through my watch list stats and the Gold stocks came off hard ( I have none, but I did take a hit on Silvercorp today off of yesterday's close. That's the rug pull I expected to occur which is why I was out of them. If my theory is right MAG Silver will gap up again tomorrow once people figure out what happened. Oil stocks ( Athabaska, Baytex ) rocketed up to top of recent range first thing which made selling them an easy trade. If Silver cooperates, and PAAS starts recovering, MAG should got to $28-$30 Cdn. However, a more conservative target would be $27. When I bought Veren it went up on the takeover news, but well below the theoretical value if Whitecap hadn't dropped. Veren eventually rallied to close to that takeover value despite low Oil prices.
Good news on tariffs is bad news for gold. Like any market that gets overbought the correction here should over shoot at well. Gold has $1,000 of fluff to be shaken out. Beam Therapeutics announces FDA grants RMAT designation to BEAM-302 16:07
Well, I'm glad you're in the chips Stoney... you know I like CHDN. But... point being, had you wait a day or two, you'd be at least 14% greater in the chips. As a general rule, ---key word "general".... don't jump in trying to catch the bottom in the first day or so on a decent stock that got hammered on earnings. And yeah I know, that'll cause one to miss "a perfect bottom" occasionally... but so what? A good stock is a good stock. Trying to call the bottom after earnings is risky. In this case, your $92 entry would have been better (more disciplined) on the way up. The results are the same, but what if it hadn't bounced and went to $70? --->"Always wait for the chart confirmation of an earnings drop reversal on even the best of stocks. You just never know.

Did anyone here notice the precipitous drop in Google last week when whoever they sent to testify on Capital Hill accidentally leaked "our search #'s have fallen off a cliff"...? It happened in the middle of the day. God bless C-Span... Anyway... I told ya so Stoney! If Van is using the various AI engines over the likes of Google, Yahoo, and Duck Duck Go..... bro you know this stuff is for real. I'm as old school as you are..... but this AI search stuff is the cat's meow. The key is to type in your question as well written and intelligible as possible. Now don't get me wrong.... I gotta believe the brains at Google know this too. And with their deep pockets, Gemini could easily rule this world. But for now who cares? Did I make any money off this Peter Lynch 21st century observation"...? NO!!!! But still..... get in tune Stoney! There's nothing worse than an instrument that is out of tune. I'd bet a gillion dollars Stoney Jr would have told you the same thing I did. ~vz
