We are at an important crossroads in this commodities bull market…[where] even the most
fearless bulls are tempted to give up – to sell out of their positions and consider themselves lucky that they were able to be along for the ride and to escape with any profits at all – but I have posted a chart below to help remind you of the real danger in “getting out” now. Words: 350

McElroy’s article continues as follows:
If you were convinced to sell gold in 1975 as the 65 week moving average was breached, you would have regretted it [as shown in the chart below]. You would have missed the biggest part of the bull market in gold.
Right now, I believe we’re at a period not unlike early 1975. Then, as it is now, the uptrend is still intact – and gold is still above the 65 week moving average:
There is nothing special about the 65 week moving average, but as you can see from both the 1970-1980 chart and from the modern chart:
- buying gold when it’s at or under the 65 week moving average is a pretty good strategy for averaging in. Typically, buying under that moving average will give you the best price you’ll get within a year so if you’re waiting for another time to buy then your day might come and
- if you’re looking for the exits, [however,] then my personal belief is that you’re a bit premature – and that if you sell out of your gold (and silver) positions [now] you will regret it.
Conclusion
Be patient. Be diligent – and have a plan for your investments.
