Martin Pring in Resource Investor

January 3rd, 2012

Martin Pring, Principal of Pring Research and Chairman of Pring Turner, was featured in a Resource Investor article published January 3, 2012 entitled Deja Review, written by Jon Nadler. Nadler has  the distinction of being the most frequently quoted precious metals analyst in the financial media and is a regular columnist/blogger at The International Business Times, Resource Investor, Coin News.net, and Equities Magazine.

“…recent downside price action in gold has prompted veteran market watcher Martin Pring to declare that the “precious metals are in a primary bear market” even if gold did appear somewhat oversold near $1,530. Bullish gold pundits are now hoping that since the Year of the Dragon comes early in 2012 physical demand from China might be as fiery as that creature’s breath. One might as well hope for China to come to the rescue, since the anticipated bump in seasonal gold demand from India last quarter turned out to be more of a… Slump.”

Pring Research Featured in MarketWatch

January 2nd, 2012

Martin Pring, Principal of Pring Research and Chairman of Pring Turner, was featured in a MarketWatch article published January 2, 2012 entitled Gold bugs’ unmerry Christmas, written by Peter Brimelow.  The commentary discusses the recent poor performance for gold/gold shares and what this means for investors.

“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.”

Pring Research Featured in MarketWatch

November 8th, 2011

Martin Pring, Principal of Pring Research and Chairman of Pring Turner, was featured in a MarketWatch article published November 7, 2011 entitled Gold shares may (finally) begin to lead, written by Peter Brimelow.  The commentary discusses the possibility of gold mining stocks starting to outperform the overall market.

Several technicians are optimistic too. Martin Pring writes in his latest InfoMovie Report: The Gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), recently completed a small base and broke above a downtrend line. One could argue that the September/October base was the right shoulder of a potential upward sloping head and shoulder. If so, the late-October rally above the right shoulder would be very positive.”

Gold battles back, as bugs cheer

By Peter Brimelow, MarketWatch

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Gold was looking pretty dismal most of last week and so were gold shares.

Approaching matters from the negative side and using Market Vectors ETF Trust Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) as his measure, chartist Martin Pring suggested in his Weekly InfoMovie Report that until GDX could rally above the “break-out point around $64, I think a cautious stance is in order.”
