SKI - Gold Stock Prediction

Introduction (repeated from prior Reports)

I have been using my unique SKI indices to predict price changes in the precious metals' market for more than two decades and my indices continue to mark the critical points. I initiated a subscription website on 1/13/06 (yes, Friday the 13th) after having posted free updates for years.

SKI is a timing service. Although almost everyone seems to believe that market timing is impossible, that IS what the SKI indices have done for 36 years.

The SKI indices contain short-term (16-20 trading days), intermediate-term (35-39 trading days), and long-term (92-96 trading days) indices. A more comprehensive description of these mathematical indices and their history is found here. Basically, the indices compare today's price to prices from a specified prior time period. The name of the index specifies the time period (e.g., 92-96 index = compare today's price to prices from 96, 95, 94, 93, and 92 trading days earlier). Although I use the oldest gold mutual fund, USERX, for analyses, the predictions are applicable to the broad precious metals' market. I do not recommend or analyze specific stocks, but my subscribers from around the world regularly discuss individual issues on our Forum.

In addition to the truly unique SKI indices, I also use "run patterns" to guesstimate turning points in the precious metals' market. A "run" refers to a pattern of daily up and down market closing prices. If the market has 3 consecutive days of higher closing prices, the run is "3 up". If prices then decline for 2 consecutive days, the run becomes "3 up and 2 down". If prices then close higher the next day, the run changes to "2 down and 1 up". Some people have referred to run patterns as "worms". A run pattern is only completed after the direction of closing prices has changed. I have compiled a listing of every run pattern that has ever occurred and generated probabilities that the end of the run marks a high or a low, moderated by the indices themselves.

SKI Public Update 3/3/24


SKI Report #296 “Gold Stock Update”

Jeffrey M. Kern, Ph.D. March 3, 2024

Current USERX price = 9.03, Down 45 cents (4.7%) since the last report  6 weeks ago.

New Material

My last public presentation was on January 29, 2024 and was delayed due to a sudden hip replacement. I needed to devote my limited time to subscribers.

That presentation has indicated a long position on 1/25/24 at USERX 9.48. I could take that long position (after having sold in December) because we had a 218-222 buy signal that provided a quick sell-stop. I provided some indication of the rising sell stop and noted that the rising sell-stop would sell in 6 trading days if USERX didn’t rise to 9.78.

The quick sell signal was generated in 6 trading days as USERX declined on 2/02/24. Therefore, we had no indication of bullishness even as gold declined and began to rise on 2/14/24. The gold stocks were suggesting that the only index that was left on a buy was to be tested on the downside. That’s the very important 92-96 index.

Last week, the 92-96 index began to be tested! On Tuesday (2/27/24), USERX declined to 8.68 and fell below 1 of the index’s 5 back prices. On Wednesday (at 8.59) the index fell to again the index. That continued on Thursday at 8.70.

Is that an intermediate low in the gold stocks? If there’s an actual 92-96 index sell signal, we’d have the opportunity to get an important new 92-96 buy signal.  

Best Wishes, Jeff
