Scary Times

Safe-haven demand continues to drive gold higher, but there’s much more at work as well.
Plus: The secret to finding the next 10-bagger in junior gold stocks.

Dear John,

Well, the break-out over $1,300 certainly looks legit at this point, doesn’t it?

With the yellow metal now pushing toward $1,340, it seems like it’s successfully cleared the last big hurdle.
The next one? The 2016 peak of $1,363 on a spot basis. And I think it’s going to put that one away soon too.

Because fear is in the air.

Yes, I know I’ve been sounding like a broken record for a couple of months now, stressing that the North Korea crisis is for real, despite the fact that it’s faded out of the headlines time and again.
But it was true. There’s no more room to kick this issue down the road. It’s going to be settled, one way or another, and soon.
Now, with North Korea’s test of an immensely more-powerful H-bomb over the weekend, and photos of what may be a miniaturized version suitable for delivery on an ICBM, the world has once again been set on edge.
In response, we’re seeing dramatic sell-offs in stocks...and the price of gold surging higher.
But the correction in stocks is creating its own worries. Although the stock market has only experienced shallow pull-backs on these geopolitical concerns before quickly recovering, investors are scared that the luck is about to run out.
You see, the entire bull run in stocks since Trump’s election victory has been predicated upon major tax and regulatory reform, as well as an economic rebound as evidenced by the Fed’s willingness to raise interest rates.
Now it seems that all of this — every stone in the foundation of this stock bull market — is in danger of crumbling.
Added to all of these assumptions is the cold, hard fact that economic data is starting to weaken. There are no signs...yet...that a recession is imminent. But you never find out that a recession has begun until many months after the fact.
We’re already seeing some nervous investors start to lighten up on their stock allocations. Obviously, some are starting to move their money from stocks to gold.
If/when the stock market begins a deeper correction, we’ll see the dominos start to rapidly fall.
We’ll see more money — a lot more money — re-allocated into gold and silver. And it won’t take much of a shift to send the metals skyrocketing.
It may have already begun....

You Don’t Have
To Fear The Fed

As you’ll remember, last fall the Fed confidently predicted as many as four rate hikes this year. Even well into the spring, they remained steadfast in their prediction.
Lately, not so much.
Even when they were touting their plan to consistently raise rates, I stressed to you that the Fed would never get ahead of inflation. Thus, real rates (adjusted for inflation) would remain near historic lows, or even negative.
This would preserve a powerfully bullish foundation for gold.
Now we’re seeing Federal Reserve board members coming out with amazingly dovish statements, recommending the Fed allow the economy to “overshoot” the 2% inflation target before taking action.
So have no fear of the Fed. If we have a significant stock market correction or a hiccup in the economy, they’ll come to the rescue with more monetary accommodation.
And gold will take off in response.
But if/when we have a major stock decline or a recession, they’ll revert back to significant quantitative easing and rate cuts.
And then gold will catapult much, much higher.
After all, the Fed is only in such a rush to raise rates so that they’ll have room to cut them in the next recession. They know better than anyone that a recession is inevitable.
In the meantime, gold is soaring...and so are junior mining stocks.
Last week I told you that one of our picks in Gold Newsletter, ATAC Resources (ATC.V; C$0.85) had surged higher that day after announcing a big hit with one of their drill holes.
Despite its big gains on that news, I told you it was still a buy.

Fast-forward to today and we see that the share price has gained another 25% since I mentioned it last week.

These are the kinds of gains that are being repeated over and over in this red-hot junior resource stock sector.
As I noted last week, this market is eerily reminiscent of the early 2000s, when many of the junior gold stocks recommended at our annual New Orleans Investment Conferences multiplied four, five, even 10 times over and more.
Absolute fortunes were made during those years by investors who were able to get into the biggest winners early. I think we’re seeing a similar opportunity at this very moment.
If you’re serious about seizing opportunities like this, you need to act now.
