If you subscribe to Khrono Stock Pro, you know that it has been 100% accurate with its option recommendations since the beginning of 2008 and has been right 9 out of 10 times with its stock recommendations. I just received an email from them addressed to all subscribers, in which it looks at its most recent short recommendations and how they are doing in this market that is up 8.6% in six trading days.
 

The one stock I take issue with in the list of shorts is Randgold Resources (GOLD). These three charts illustrate why:

The weekly chart show a pull back to the breakout ($56) and MarketClub issued a weekly sell signal at $65.68

To my eyes, the monthly chart reveals a large congestion under $56 for over a year since March, 2008, then a breakout, much like I’m expecting with the commodity (XAUUSDO). As you can see the high since the breakout was $74.

Now here’s where it gets interesting. GOLD is right at the down-sloping trendline on the daily chart, but the commodity has given a weekly buy signal today and GOLD will too, if the stock trades over $67.73, which buy the way would break the down-sloping trendline. I don’t think it is a time to be short the precious metal stocks, but I’m a Gold Bug and I’m positioned on the long side. Stay tuned!
