Title: Gold Bugs’ Unmerry Christmas: But Radical Bugs Say They Know Why

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Santa brought the gold bugs quite a present last week. It was very big and extremely nasty. But maybe they can send it back.

From the previous Friday’s close to the low on Thursday, the CME February gold contract (CNS:GC2G) plunged $82.10 or 5.1%. The gold shares, as tracked by the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index (NAR:XX:HUI) , were down 6.6% at their worst.

Recoveries into the week’s end enabled gold to finish down only 2.44% and the HUI down 2.54%. But by then, no doubt, most gold bulls were disgustedly drowning their sorrows.

This was the reverse of what was supposed to happen. Thus, on the Friday before Christmas, the Japanese bullion dealer Mitsui remarked: “The gold price has gone up during the period between Christmas and New Year in 8 of the last 9 years (2004 being the exception), by just over 2% on average. If this trend continues, gold would stand around $1,650 by the year’s end.”

Gold had in fact staged a nice $70 rally from the beating it took earlier in the month — a possibility that veteran gold bugs anticipated. ( See Dec. 19, 2011, column. )

What happened? The group I like to call the “radical gold bugs” (because they make not merely the traditional inflation argument, but also claim gold’s price has long been artificially repressed by public and private interests) cried foul, of course.

For example, Thursday’s remarks at the website Jesse’s Café Americain referring to “…this obvious bear raid on the paper precious-metals market over past four weeks. … One has to be a bit naive or disingenuous to ignore the blatant bombing of the market with large numbers of contracts for sale during thinly traded markets. This is the not the sort of trading that a profit-seeking trader would do.”

What now? The technical damage, of course, is tremendous. Chartist Martin Pring says in his weekly: “Gold has now completed this upward sloping head-and-shoulders top and re-confirmed the break by tracing out a new low. … [Momentum measures] are getting oversold, and we may see a bounce. However, I think precious metals are in a primary bear market, and that is probably where we should keep our focus.”

Pring may be right about gold’s being oversold. On Thursday, MarketVane’s Bullish Consensus for gold fell to 56%, the lowest since Dec. 5, 2008. The lowest reading in that tumultuous year was 49% a couple of weeks earlier, so this really is extreme.

An influential observer noted this. On Friday, The Gartman Letter (TGL) said: “We did not expect to see gold hold as well as it has or did in the past 24 hours, and we were not prepared yesterday to issue buying orders as soon as we shall be doing so. … We’ve been neutral of since mid-November. We are about to become bullish once again. ... This is a warning.”

TGL sold its large gold holdings earlier this month in its perhaps best-timed gold exit ever. Although widely denigrated by gold bugs (it’s mutual), TGL actually has a pretty good gold purchase record.

Another equally surprising bullish voice was raised on Friday by analyst Frank Veneroso, reporting on Lemetropolecafe.com.

He said: “I think what we may be seeing right now is a bunch of traders trying to break a multi-year trend line in gold during the thinnest trading of the year in order to hit stops.”

“I have a hunch that some big central banks who are under-positioned in gold are buying into this break.”

Veneroso has an important place in gold history for conceptualizing, in the 1990s, the importance of Eastern physical demand to the gold price, then a new factor. But for several years he has dismayed gold enthusiasts by ignoring the metal.

On Friday, however, he concluded forcefully: “If my hunch is right, after the current year-end chart-manipulation games, and with the turn of the year, gold will rise sharply in price.”

The precious metal bubble will one day burst just like every other bubble does. As with every other bubble the question becomes, "when is it time to get out?"

Anyone who wants out...I'm buying.

Physical gold only, no paper.

Last summer miners were having trouble getting even 1500 for their gold, of which I duly informed the goldbugs here and was laughed at.

Well if you began investing in gold at the beginning of the bubble you are still sitting pretty, although they may be getting a little ancy (sic).
