Equities diverge

I agree-can't imagine energy companies will continue to boost supplies to further depresas prices. I expect they will moderate drilling and the prices wiill gradually refl;ect that.

IDK.,.nat gas is so low now. It looks like it has potential to reverse and at least moderate slightly higher.

Buying is one thing, but like Tenacious, I'm glad I don't already own any.

mInvestors -- gold stocks have been performing terribly in relation to both the general markets AND gold. In fact gold stocks have gone down in the past year even though gold is still up from where it was 12 months ago.

There are many explanations for this but for me it is just one of those irrational market moves that must be bought. That's why I've been buying gold stocks.

Commodities have been pretty beaten up in the global growth slowing story, particularly China. But some of them are reaching interesting buy points.

Looking at this chart makes me think only one thing: I'm glad I don't have any commodities right now.

Why Barrick Gold is getting cheap

Scott,

A timely post, it might be a good time to start bargain hunting. Note, just start, I don't recomment full in yet. Need to wait for more clarification.

On the other hand, I am wondering why Barrick Gold  is getting cheap. If stock market is factoring economic slowdown, then the gold is supposed to go up or at least hold up well. More divergence?
