Royal Gold RGLD Early Warning Gold indicator

Stock is making higher highs and higher lows in recent consolidation state, chart looks to me like a good spring before break out. Fundamental considerations are good as well: rising CAPEX is no issue here and rising gold price is translating into high leverage of royalty revenue.

From the newly relaunced website:

"The Company’s royalty portfolio provides investors with a unique opportunity to capture value in the precious metals sector without incurring many of the risks associated with mine operations such as capital costs, operating costs, and environmental liabilities. The distinction between a royalty company and a mining company is very important in the current market environment where the costs to build and operate mines are rising significantly. "
