Anticipating Silver's 20% Rally
by Mike Paulenoff
November 8, 2020 • 1:45 PM EST
A week ago Friday (Oct 30), with the equity markets and precious metals under intense pressure ahead of the forthcoming election, Mike Paulenoff told members of MPTrader:
"If there is one equity sector I think is imperative to participate in starting on Tuesday, well into the next Administration, regardless of who is in charge, it's the Precious Metal Miners in general, and in the (Junior) Silver Miners, in particular (SILJ)."
Mike's heads-up to MPTrader members came to fruition all through last week, buoyed by the strong surge in equities, very positive earnings reports from CDE, PAAS, AUY (to mention just a few names), policy implications of a potential Biden presidency, and from super easy Fed policy, and fiscal stimulus tailwinds expected in the months ahead.
SILJ climbed from Mike's alert at 13.38, above his key near-term upside breakout zone at 14.00/15, to Friday's pre-market high at 16.26, a gain of 21.5%. SILJ closed Friday at 15.98.

On May 27, Mike Paulenoff posted the following bullish commentary about iron ore producer Cleveland-Cliffs (CLF):
"CLF is up 6.7% today precipitated by the company's announcement that it intends to pay off a slug of debt of holders of Senior Notes due in March 2025! There is nothing Wall Street loves more than profits, but a close second is reduction in debt. Technically, CLF's U-Turn off of Monday's low at 17.
On the morning of May 27th, just hours after Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) reported earnings, Mike Paulenoff gave this bullish assessment to MPTrader members:
"In the absence of damaging weakness beneath last eve's algo, knee-jerk spike low at 611.02, and subsequent follow-through beneath 600, my technical work remains 'friendly,' and points higher, to test the ATH at 648.57, in route to 675-680 thereafter."

Back on July 16, 2020, Mike Paulenoff alerted MPTrader members to a potential turn in the long-term downtrend in the grains markets, reflected in his trend analysis of DBA (Invesco DB Agriculture Fund), an ETF consisting of agricultural commodities (grains, softs, and livestock).
In that changes in inflationary expectations are at the forefront of investor's considerations for the first time in decades, Mike's focus on a potential sharp climb in grains prices certainly was well-timed and well-received.
After Home Depot (HD) announced earnings on Tuesday that beat the Street on most of the important metrics, goosing the stock to the 327.25 area, Mike Paulenoff cautioned MPTrader members.

"From a Bigger Picture perspective, my work presents some less promising prospects for HD's potential upside price path.
This past Friday, 30 minutes before the release of Retail Sales data for April, Mike Paulenoff posted his analysis of XRT, the SPDR S&P Retail Sector ETF.
