Don – Truly appreciate you taking the time to help us small time investors, so when your new fund opened, I was one that bought shares in HAC. Im not sure if you benefit financially in any way by us buying shares, but this is my way of saying thanks and Im sure you’re appreciated by others who have bought HAC shares as well since it opened, just because you are one of the analysts involved. Again a most sincere thank you- and I say this with utmost sincerity (and am sure others feel the same way too) as your guidance (unbiased and free) has helped make a better life financially for me and my family.

Hi H. Hunter. LOL. Service continues as long as we are having fun. Not all questions are answered, but all are welcome. Some of the questions and comments generate interesting ideas. Keep them coming.

Hi Joe and Roy. Ditto to comments above. POT and AGU have a period of seasonal strength until the end of December. If using the seasonality discipline, it’s too early to consider the use of short term momentum indicators to fine tune an exit point. Feel free to use short term momentum indictors if you are a short term trader. Tech Talk usually does not attempt to offer suggestions based on momentum indicators in between the identified seasonal entry and exit points.

Hi Dave. Claymore bond ETFs mentioned in the article are ETFs to be issued by Claymore Securities in the U.S., not Claymore Investments in Canada.

Hi Fred. Please refer to comments offered above for Shawn and RG. The end of the period of seasonal strength for TXN is mid January. It’s too early to use short term momentum indicators to fine tune an exit.

Hi Kay. Downside risk for gold is $1,070 and upside potential is $1,300 between now and early February. Technical action by the U.S. Dollar and gold today was encouraging for gold and gold stocks. Additional comments are offered in tomorrow’s Tech Talk.

Hi Roy. CLT and GO are interesting “gassy” stocks. However, short term momentum indicators continue to trend lower. Would prefer to see more evidence of a bottom before commiting.

Hi RG. Please refer to comments to Shawn above. COW currently is in a period of seasonal strength lasting until the end of December. An exit point for the trade will be fine tuned as the end of December approaches. It’s too early to make that call using the seasonality discipline.
