I decided to throw in the towel on my short gold trade via the DB Gold Double Short ETN (DZZ), selling my entire position at $8.44. I took a 3.7% loss against my original purchase and it was a break even for my second purchase.

Gold appears to be completing a continuation pennant pattern that projects its price $200 higher. With that in mind, the risk of holding the trade did not seem to justify either the likely reward or the stress. If I had timed this trade better it could have turned out profitably. But I didn't so I took my ball and went home.

My other sale today was of Silver Falcon Mining (SFMI) at 20 cents. The TSI looked to be near nose bleed levels and I did not want to push my luck any further. Anyway, I had two purchases of SFMI still open from quite some time back and they now are closed with 11.1% and 15% gains. It is another lesson of waiting for the bull to bring price back to a profit with patience.

I made three purchases today. First was Richmont Mines Inc (RIC) at $5.25. I am experimenting with a new TSI setting which juxtaposes a fast (7,4), intermediate (13,7) and slower (25,13) reading. Not sure I like it, but I'll give it a whirl. It appears that when the three TSI readings cluster tightly near one another, a more powerful price move follows.

My second purchase was to reacquire some Global X Silver Miners ETF (SIL) at $24.81. All three indicators are not only positive (above zero) and turning north, but each sports a trend line break (not drawn on the chart).
*
My final purchase today was Silver America Inc (SILA) at $0.471. This is a curious situation as the news from this company is actually positive yet for the past 2 weeks it has been hit with increasingly intense selling volume. Using a shorter term TSI time frame, such as the 60 minute, I determined that SILA had likely bottomed and for the moment anyway, I may have been correct, as it closed at $.49. I really do not know what is going on with this stock to create such violent selling but I'll just use my indicators and see if I can skin a few bucks in the mean time.
