Gold Rush! Here to Stay for a While?

SYNOPSIS
Following the spectacular results of the week earlier, we couldn’t have expected a whole lot more of the same, and we didn’t. There were one week declines (mainly in the US), with Nasdaq gaining a little. Canadian small caps are on a roll, fuelled to a large extent by precious metal stocks.

Trading Activity… We sold one stock in the ProfiTrend Portfolio last week and 25% of another position (we couldn’t get a full sale by the closing bell Friday). We also put some of our large cash position back to work by adding 5 new stocks (4 Canadian, 1 US ETN). The annualized growth rate for the PTP is now 99%, up from 45% last week. That compares with AGRs of 20% for the S&P 500 and 31% for the S&P/TSX Composite Index companies. Our simple but effective “Speedo Chart” continues to be one of the best tools we’ve ever devised for portfolio management and tracking. It provides incentive to stay ahead of the benchmarks and makes selling losing positions feel really good!
