Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. In our review one week ago, we suggested that the seemingly bearish candle two Fridays ago might only mean a slight pause (and not a meaningful reversal). After a mere one-day pause, the Index turned on the afterburners and surged 2.4% or 23.4 points to 995.09. Interestingly, the Index closed Friday much the way it closed the previous Friday, with a reverse hammer.

In my Jan 27th technical review on silver and Silver Standard (SSO), I stated I was very bullish on silver and silver equities in part due to the strong relative strength of silver during the steep January stock market correction. Since that post, Silver Standard has risen about 50% and the price of silver has risen as much as 10%. Indeed, both gold and silver stocks alike have performed very well. Another junior miner Claude Resources (CRJ) which we covered in a Dec 11th technical review has also gained 50% since our review highlighting its relative strength.

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Since our last update, the CIN Index continued its climb, rising 11 points or 1% and it even reached a high of 975.76, before closing the week at 971.69. The close on Friday was a bit negative, as it closed down over half a percent from its highs and left a reversed hammer pattern. However, we did see a similar reverse hammer pattern on Feb 22nd and it simply led to a 2-day pause before the Index made a new multi-week high.

It’s no exaggeration to say Saskatchewan-based Power Prospector Tim Gitzel is powered by fuel and food. His corporate involvement spans both nuclear giant Cameco (CCO) and NYSE-listed fertilizer play The Mosaic Company (MOS*US), and lately he’s been adding to his stake in both companies.

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. Last week proved a very significant week for the Index as it not only completed a bullish double bottom pattern at 900 but the Index also went on to blast through a major area of congestion which included its 20 and 50 day moving averages at 933 and 951 respectively.

Thank you for joining us in a weekly technical look at the mid-cap oriented INK Canadian Insider (CIN) Index. The Index pulled back steeply to the 900 level, which we've been noting as a key support, before closing last week at 921.70. While its initial momentum has definitely dissipated with a drop of nearly 3% since our last update, a pullback to 900 was not unexpected as a re-test is often required before we can see an advance play out.
