Options Strategy Proves Successful with High Growth – OptionEarner.Com
Precious metal mines continue to gain momentum despite a decline in our indicator:
Status: 0.91 (previously 0.99) – thus a decline, continuing at a neutral level.
The share prices of mining companies are rapidly catching up with the development of precious metal prices in recent weeks. Fundamentally, there remains considerable upside potential. In the short term, however, the risk of a correction has increased significantly. Accordingly, a more cautious approach seems sensible:
• Selectively realize profits in order to re-enter more favorably in the event of pullbacks.
• Cautious approach via the sale of puts to profit from increased volatility and thus attractive premium income.
Fundamental framework conditions
1. Unwillingness and inability of Western economies to reform: Instead of structural adjustments, new debt programs are constantly being launched. This policy inevitably leads to further debt orgies, which can only be kept sustainable by artificially depressed or negative real interest rates.
2. Dwindling confidence in paper money: The credibility of fiat currencies is continuously decreasing.
3. Political risks in the USA: The “Mar-a-Lago Accord” and the increased influence of the Trump administration on the Fed are leading to further interest rate cuts with simultaneously rising inflation. The tariffs are already taking effect – for example, steel prices in the USA are now around 50% higher than in Europe. The weaker USD also contributes to rising import prices.
4. High margins of mining companies: Average production costs of around USD 1,600/ounce of gold are offset by selling prices of over USD 3,600 – margins of more than USD 2,000/ounce.
5. Limited supply side: Hardly any new large deposits, low exploration efforts in recent years, long lead times for mine developments.
6. Strong central bank purchases: Central banks continue to massively increase gold reserves.
7. Underinvested investors: The investment rate in products related to precious metals is only around 2%.
8. Broad market coverage: The current boom in precious metal stocks has now also captured the second tier (junior mines) and third tier (explorers) – but is only at the beginning of a pent-up catch-up movement.
