If you follow our work, you are aware of our growing optimism on gold stocks in 2020. As we’ve written, the fundamental setup in 2020 should be bullish for precious metals. Meanwhile, the technical setup for gold stocks is one of the best we’ve ever seen.  Gold stocks (and GDX specifically) are consolidating in a … Continue reading

A few weeks ago we noted the bullish setup for 2020. Macro developments, one way or another will tend to favor Gold. There isn’t a realistic scenario that isn’t Gold bullish.
