INK Canadian Insider Index ends 2016 +19.88%; MACD now key

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. In our last update on Dec 18th, the Index had pulled back sharply to test its support at 1148.57 following its breakout that had reached an intraday high of 1182.57. Since then, the Index climbed quietly higher before closing the year at 1163.07. The Index was a top performer in 2016, returning 19.88% over the last year, including 6.59% over the last 3 months.

Will copper score a TKO in the new year?

One of my favourite metals this year has been copper. In large part, investors should embrace the base metal due to the election of Donald Trump. The US president-elect himself promised to implement a huge infrastructure spending program across the country to fortify America's "roads, bridges, airports, transit systems and ports."

Of course, we also have seen other base metals, like nickel and zinc soar, long before the US election took place. And with other natural resources like oil also on similar upward trajectories, I believe we are seeing clear signs of inflation, one that will lead investors into a powerful commodities rally.

INK Canadian Insider Index retests 1148 breakout level

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Last week, the overbought Index quickly rocketed to a new all-time intraday high of 1182.57 before pulling back 24 points or 2% to close at 1148.57.

Is Yellen trying to show Trump who's boss?

In our December Gold Top 20 we said that the real yields were likely to be a key driver for the gold price for the foreseeable future. While we saw some signs that real 5-year yields had peaked and were heading back towards zero, they have rallied back with a vengeance following the hawkish posture of the Federal Reserve on Wednesday. On balance, Fed officials now see three rate hikes in 2017.

INK Canadian Insider Index soars 2.5%, breaks out to all-time highs

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Last week, the Index began bulling its way into its challenging 1150 resistance area, before finally bursting through this wall with tremendous muscle and force. The Index closed the week with an impressive 2.5% gain and notched a brand new all-time closing high at 1172.71.

Sound bites: As the old economy rallies, high flying pot & FANG stocks at risk

In my latest Talk Digital Network interview with Jim Goddard, I highlight how Canadian insiders have tilted towards old economy stocks. This move is likely in anticipation of better economy growth across the Canadian economy, notably Western Canada. With growth potentially on the upswing, old economy value stocks are likely to be regain favour with investors who will no longer have to pay premium valuations for growth. A shift towards value investing could put the relative performance of previous high flyers such as U.S. FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) and Canadian marijuana stocks at risk. Indeed, we have already seen some interesting moves this month with auto stocks soaring as some marijuana stocks stumble.

INK Canadian Insider Index hits new intraday high, gains 15.4% year to date

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Last week, the Index, which had surged back to 1132 capitulated to 1120.73 and then made an electric rise that crushed 1140 resistance and tagged 1150.38 for a brand new 2016 intraday high. The Index closed Friday at 1144.64, up 12 points for a 1% gain.

Insiders see risk of Trump inflationary illusion

Updated with Roundhouse Radio interview link at end of article.

Investors appear to be betting that the Trump years will essentially jolt the US economy out of its sub-par growth trend doldrums of the Obama-Bernanke-Yellen years. What remains unresolved is whether or not Trump policies will result in real growth or simply an inflationary mirage. Canadian gold stock insiders are betting on the latter.

INK Canadian Insider Index soars 4.9% above November lows

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Last week, the Index put pedal to the metal as it continued a tremendous comeback from 4-month lows. It added nearly 21 points or 1.9% to close the week at 1132.54. The Index has now risen a Phoenix-like 4.9% from its lows of 1079.36 on Nov 14th and in fact swung so high it came within 8.2 points of its year high of 1147.38 previously hit in September.

Robot Union Demands $2 an Hour

One subject that can always guarantee some angry emails and usually name-calling along lines of "I’m a moron to suggest that technological substitution has to be considered in so many areas from minimum wage, to government subsidies, healthcare reform and transit. It's a good bet these people won't want to consider the impact of technology on the Presidential election, where Donald Trump rode blue-collar job losses to the white house in some key states.
