Gold Editorials & Commentary

Since the Federal Reserve raised its target interest rate last December, every dovish or hawkish comment from Janet Yellen and other voting members of the Fed has sent stock, bond, and commodity markets into flux.

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert have interviewed Jan Skoyles to discuss how gold is the “Kardashian of Commodities” and “future-proofing your portfolio with gold”.

We’re about to enter that time when financial commentators offer up their best guesses as to what investors can expect in the Near Year. It always makes for fun reading, but it also never fails to disappoint. Instead of engaging in that tired exercise in futility...

A bull-trap reversal hit the green line, putting a 20.24 downside target theoretically in play. Accordingly, we should look to trade the ETF with a bearish bias. That implies you could either look to get short now via camouflage, or wait until GDX trips a ‘...

With the state of post-Op/Twist systemic dysfunction, there are no absolutes, but… Generally, a rising yield curve (after years of Goldilocks and her favored declining curve) would signal changes in financial markets. But it is not as simple as stating “the curve...

The Western central bank franchise system is totally broken, totally insolvent, and totally corrupt. It invites the Gold Standard return. The entire financial system is built upon a debt-based monetary system. The debt saturation process has run its full course. The...

The US election is now only about two weeks away. The winner of this election is likely to be…GOLD. Here’s why: Both candidates are eager to increase infrastructure spending, and that’s likely going to open the door to congressional discussion of the issuance of...

The Value Of Gold. “Unlike paper currency, coins or other assets, gold has maintained its value throughout the ages.” Jill Kerby, personal finance expert and Mark O’Byrne, Research Director of GoldCore were interviewed by Sinead Desmond of ‘Ireland AM’ on TV3 this...

My father was Hugo Salinas Rocha -"Salinas" was his father's surname, and "Rocha" was his mother's surname; the custom of using both parents' surnames is universal in Latin America. Father was a successful merchant in Mexico City, and in the 1930's he ran a store in...

Back in September we looked at a possible morphing Diamond pattern on the GDXJ in which the dashed trendlines were showing the original Diamond. When it started to morph into the bigger Diamond I added the two red circles that showed the false breakouts from the...

The monetary debate seems artificially limited. On one side is Federal Reserve policy based on discretion. On the other is policy based on rules. It’s Keynes vs. Friedman. It’s central planning of our economy based on the reactive whims of wise monetary planners vs...

Frank, it's good to have you back on. Congratulations on another well-deserved award and thanks for joining us again today.

Last week I presented at the MoneyShow in Dallas, where sentiment toward gold was a bit muted compared to other recent conferences I’ve attended. The yellow metal has certainly taken a breather following its phenomenal first half of the year, but the drivers are...

That question and other ones similar to it keep coming up lately and understandably so. Gold usually drops when the USD rises, but lately we do see both rising at the same time. I called a low in Gold recently and have been trading in the Precious Metals sector....

SPX appears to be making a rounding top and should see the correction steepen into its mid-to-late November low, perhaps ending with a small climactic move before the start of a new uptrend.

Another week without much major price action, gold +$16 and silver +$0.12. At least if you look at the closing prices. However on Monday after New York market hours, there was quite a spike in silver. The close was $17.46. The price was up 10 cents by midnight in...

Gold plunged through support a few weeks ago…followed by a basic lateral move. Speculators are now waiting for the next move, but which way? Here again we have to go to our technical picture to see what the odds are one way or the other.

How many of you approach life expecting “certainty?” How many of you always see all your plans through life work out exactly as you had expected? Think back to just the past year alone, and ask yourself how well those things you were so “certain” of last year have...

The S&P500 is in a very precarious position and looks set to drop over the coming months. After the Brexit risk rally, where it appeared that central banks would once again step in with yet more stimulus and QE, the S&P500 broke out to new highs, but since...

Stocks were flat and mixed again Friday, October 22nd. The sideways move with a slightly down bias since early August with overlapping oscillating moves almost daily is characteristic of a typical wave b, d, or 4 Elliott Wave. This is helpful in identifying the...

From Friday a week ago (14 October) through settling out the week yesterday (Friday) at 1267, Gold has continued to firm following its early October flushing to as low as 1243: over the past six trading days, price has risen out of the 1240s, through the 1250s,...

Stocks are exhibiting choppier and weaker action these days as we move back into earnings season. This caused me to exit stocks. Consequently, I’m in an all cash position once again with not much on the horizon for a couple weeks from what the charts are telling me...

As we've been monitoring all year, the total amount of gold allegedly "delivered" through the COMEX has soared in 2016. This is simply another anecdotal data point of gold demand but the trend is certainly noteworthy, particularly when you see the numbers thus far...

Gold and gold stocks have stabilized after forming a short-term low and even held up well while the US$ Index pushed to an 8-month high. Conventional wisdom would tell us with the US$ Index nearing a major breakout, Gold and gold stocks would be vulnerable to...

The one factor gold bulls have had going in their favor during the recent selloff that occurred in gold and the gold mining shares in this month of October, has been the stellar performance of the reported holdings in the gigantic gold ETF, GLD. It has held rock...

Silver is on a long-term buy signal. Short-term is on sell signal. Correction continues but can end soon. Silver is more volatile than gold, manage your risk.

The big decline in the precious metals appears to already be underway (even though we are in a short-term corrective upswing) and it seems that gold will move much lower in the coming months even though it’s likely to move higher in the coming days. The big decline...

There are a lot of people who are concerned about the performance of gold and the fact that the price after four years of correction is still so far from the high. The mistake that most people make is to measure gold in US dollars. We are seeing currently very...

Gold’s early-October plunge on futures speculators’ stop losses being run has naturally left this metal mired in battered technicals and bearish sentiment. But that sharp selloff has already accomplished its rebalancing mission. The excessive gold-futures trading...
