In its place, we added a margined position in contract driller Nabors Industries (NBR), which can be purchased at its current price. Gold prices have pulled in lately, but the metal is a tightly wound spring that has the potential to leap significantly higher in the coming months. The gold shares, meanwhile, have priced in a steep retreat in the metal. From the contrary prospective, we like that sentiment; we’re holding the Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) September 57 call option, Gabriel Resources (GBU.TO, GBRRF), and our latest addition, NovaGold Resources (NG). All three are buys at their current prices. Agriculture-related stocks have continued to act well in the past week, including Mosaic (MOS). Our Mosaic (MOS) September 80 call option remains a hold, however. EMC Corp. (EMC) looks to have put in a bottom and we remain optimistic the stock will trade at new highs shortly. Unfortunately, we’re starting to run out of time with our EMC (EMC) July 29 call option. Hold. We’re still carrying two short positions.
