Are stocks and bonds overdone?
*Dow Theory Letters, by Richard Russell, April 26, 2010:
''We're dealing with a tricky rally (some call it a cyclical bull
market) in what I believe is a continuing primary bear market. At
this point, the stock market is over-valued, over-loved and over-bought
-- but it keeps advancing as it feeds off a parade of good news and
massive liquidity. Obama states that he'll cut the deficit by
two-thirds in the next five years. 'What's he smoking?' I think
to myself.
The bond market has turned long-term bearish and interest rates are
heading higher.
The bull market in gold is 10 years old and is still strong.''
''Most Americans (including many fund managers and advisors) don't
understand the attraction or the meaning of gold -- and many pride
themselves on not being 'gold-bugs.' If they're not a gold-bug,
then they must, by default, love fiat money, in which case I call you a
'dollar-bug.' The very name, 'gold-bug,' is derogatory, implying
that anyone who prefers gold to central bank junk paper is some kind of
a moron or a lowly bug. Was King Midas a bug? Was France a
bug-nation when in the early 1970s it continued to call in US gold in
its settlement of debts? Is the US a gold-bug nation when it
refuses to give up part of its huge store of gold in settlement of
international debts?
What I'm excited about is the recent action of gold. Often gold
is down in the after-market, but when actual trading starts, gold will
turn positive during the day. It appears that certain parties
wait for the dips, and when they don't get the 'dip' they're waiting
for, they give up and buy gold at the market price, thereby pushing up
the price toward the 1200 level. It seems that 1100 now
represents important support for gold, and the upside target is 1200
with the breakout target at 1226.''
