Without any doubt the recent formation of Golden Crosses is heralding the beginning of a NEW BULL MARKET IN PRECIOUS METAL ASSETS. Frankly, the mounting evidence of corroborating facts flashing Buy Signals for precious metal equities is overwhelming. Consider the following:

- Four of the world's largest Precious Metal Funds have just created Golden Crosses.
- Today's Golden Cross level has formed a bullish Double Bottom with 2009.
- The total assets under management of these four Precious Metals Mutual Funds is $3.4 BILLION
- The total number of Precious Metals companies in the four funds is 374.

And last but not least is the imminent Golden Cross generated on the HUI/Gold Ratio (which has formed a bullish Double bottom to boot).

When the general investing public becomes aware of the above bull market statistics, there will inevitably be a stampede into Precious Metals Mutual Funds by individual investors, Pension Programs, Insurance Companies and Bank Trust Departments.

All the above strongly suggests the entire spectrum of precious metal investments will forge new all-time record highs in the not too distant future…leaving sad Wall Street investors dead in the water.

Forecast for the Gold Bugs Index (HUI):

Based upon the corroborating evidence cited above, HUI may repeat its spectacular January 2001-May 2002 performance, when the Gold Bugs Index soared +244% in only 17 months. Ergo, the HUI Index may top 485 by October 2015.

Looking at the above chart, two bullish factors jump out immediately:

• Gold stocks have just now started to move up from a similar level in 2008.
• Gold stocks remain severely undervalued compared to the gold price. A simple reversion to the mean implies a tremendous upside move.

As was mentioned in Part 1 of “Gold Forecasting Via The Magic Of The Golden Cross,” there are two related factors which may well be the spark and fuel to catapult precious metal values further into orbit than the above stated forecast:

-An impending BEAR MARKET in US stocks, and

-The China Factor and all that it portends for higher gold and silver prices. China continues to consume record amounts of gold and officially overtook India as the world’s largest buyer of gold in 2013.

After reviewing many of the various gold forecasts and predictions on our Gold Forecasts page, it is clear that sentiment around 2014 gold prices predictions are all over the map.
