inimitable John Bollinger on Stocks, Bonds, Gold SOURCE: Zacks Investment Research Stocks Our view regarding the current trading range is unchanged. To recap, we believe that the real [CPI-adjusted] stock market peaked out in June of 1998 and that we have entered a prolonged trading range that will most likely last the rest of this decade. In short, investors ought to focus on small- and mid-cap value while active traders should focus on the major large-cap indices and yesterday's leadership. To make it perfectly clear, we are bullish -- on smaller stocks -- and could care less about larger stocks. Bonds As far as we can see there is nothing to like about bonds in the current environment. Slowly but surely bond yields are working their way higher. This fact has not gotten a lot of attention yet, but it [higher rates] will be topic #1 in the not-so-far-distant future. Using the 10-year T-note as a benchmark, yields have risen from 4.1% to better than 5.3%, and that is just the beginning. Gold Just in case you wanted to take a look at a couple of gold stocks, here are four that were able to make new highs for the move on the last leg up and are consolidating without doing much damage to their up-trends. AngloGold (NYSE: AU), Agnico-Eagle (NYSE: AEM) Gold Corp. (NYSE: GG) and Ashante (NYSE: ASL).
