ACTION ITEMS:

Bullish:
Traders who believe that gold is likely to soar as Taylor suggests might want to consider the following trades:

  • Go long junior gold miners, such as Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL), Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY) or the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ). If gold jumps, these names are likely to do better than larger gold miners.
  • If you do not want the volatility that comes with owning smaller miners, consider owning the Market Vectors Gold Etf Trust (NYSE: GDX), which owns larger miners, and is less volatile. Silver should also do well in this scenario, and names like First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) will do well.
Bearish:
Traders who believe that the U.S. dollar is likely to continue to fall may consider alternate positions:

  • Shorting the U.S. dollar, either by shorting PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (NYSE: UUP), or going long PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bearish (NYSE: UDN).
