The Best Possible News For Gold: Gartman Is Finally A Seller (And Buyer Of Oil)

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The best possible news for gold longs has finally arrived, courtesy of the man with the golden market-timing, no pun intended, newsletter:

SPOT GOLD: Runnin “Smack” Into Long Term Resistance: We turned supportive of gold several weeks ago rather publically [ZH: sic], but now gold in US dollar terms is running into what we fear shall be formidable resistance… with the margin clerks around the world looking to sell gold to raise liquidity as stocks come under very real pressure.

Oh, and just in case you were scared to keep shorting oil...

CRUDE OIL PRICES ARE LOWER BUT WE ARE CHANGING OUR VIEW ON PRICES for having been overtly and rather relentlessly… and very publically… bearish, we are this morning turning bullish of crude oil and we are turning so because the term structure shifts mandate that we do so.

 

* * *

 

We do not make this statement lightly for this is a material shift in our view of the energy market… a very material shift.

 

* * *

 

Amidst the carnage of the global stock markets this morning and even in light of the sustained bear market in crude oil, the narrowing of the contangos in Brent and WTI brings us to become a buyer of crude as noted at length above. We’ll buy a unit of crude oil, split between Brent and WTI, upon receipt of this commentary. We shall, for the moment, give these prices the latitude to move 3% against us, hoping that we can tighten that up when we  return Monday.

Thank you Dennis: we couldn't possibly do it without you.

In addition to being a mediocre trader, Gartman is an insufferable. pompous ass.

Wow, usually he's short 1 unit of the "pet rock" and long 1 unit of the "pet rock". Seriously, who pays for this drivel?

I don't think I've ever seen two such ridiculous calls in one article before.

These truly are heady days.

  Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

I'm a buyer of PM's I can hold, but in a crash, they'll temporarily go down with everything else I think. So I'm not bullish gold until the crash has occurred and it dawns on people that gold is a good thing to hold now.

My first trade when markets are crashing and the fear is palpable is to sell gold.

Sure, we lose money on every trade....but we make up for it in VOLUME!

Gartman, what a dumb ass.

I can't decide who the biggest douche on CNBC is. Cramer and the Fast Money guys shrieking about HOUSING and HOME DEPOT, Fartman and his stupid "bullish of x in y terms" nonsense, Bob Piss On Me telling how the market is "off da lowz," or the idiot guests they parade out there to slam gold and pump the market higher.

Hahaha!  Gartman a seller and Druckenmiller a buyer.  Hmmm, who do I believe???

 

This might be a good place to get back in...

raoul -- druckenmiller did not buy gold. he bought PAPER. he did not take delivery of even one freakin gram of physical. unlike this: Morgan is stockpiling physical silver while shorting the futures market where the price is set.  And the most shocking of all, the Big Long, which is the purchase of 9.23 tons of physical gold by HSBC and Goldman Sachs in less than a week.  The banks have each made two separate purchases, but the purchases have coincided with each other and may be setting up a trend.  anyone who buys paper is an absolute fool. there are approximately 124 paper claims per each ounce of physical

But do you realize it's that paper market that determines the value of your physical?   And that paper market has GREATLY increased the value of your physical gold. 

You'd better hope that paper market remains healthy, otherwise your physical will be worth a LOT less.

At least you can say one thing about Dennis.

He's the captain of his own ship... And when it's sinking with all the life boats and "May West(s)" taken he'll be the only one left holding his breath to the "2,000" foot bottom!

Last I checked the miners are STOCKS, so yes they are down.  I would guess gold is not in the clear yet.
