Maybe, I don’t know, someone has to make the case and do the DD and scavenge for tickers etc.. but when everything falls on the next leg down, you can short nearly anything in my opinion, hence going short on indices is just easier.

So miners should be a short play just like the focus on shorting the indices ?

I think because miners may sell off during market downturns. Besides, gold mines will be closed due to corona. Look at uranium sector for instance, Cameo (CCJ) mines are closed indefinitely due to pandemic. However, less supply can be the driver for the asset prices but I am not sure how long it can sustain, unless you have a huge reserve of minerals in the backyard.

On the other side, Randy already runs trades on GLD so wouldn’t it also cause a somewhat one-sided trade if he went long both miners and gold itself?

any reason we are viewing these trend indicators now? in the middle of month and in the middle of the week. what is your thought process? how often do you visit these? what will make you come back and review these?
