Gold Editorials & Commentary

We are now in the “full on” market crash phase predicted and earlier prepared for on clivemaund.com many weeks in advance – it comes as no surprise to us whatsoever. The purpose of this update is to consider what is likely to happen over the next few days and...

Last week, the dam which had held back a price decline for many weeks, finally broke! That should put an end to the discussion about whether this is just a long-term consolidation, or an intermediate top.

There is an old fallacy on Wall Street that gold is a safe haven during market declines. And, this week, I have heard it again more times than I can count. But, the problem with most people in the market is that they regurgitate sound-bytes, but care little for...

Last week, I wrote that I would share the IMP pattern with you and also more about TLC (Trend Line Convergence) and how it identifies bottoms (or buy points) in the stock market. First, the week in review: the astro Friday was especially bad as the Sun sq.’d Saturn...

What’s the big picture in economics? That manufacturing makes things to sell at a profit. When that isn’t happening (for whatever reason) there are problems with the economy. During inflationary booms inventories don’t collect dust in the warehouse as demand soon...

Gold speculators and large futures traders boosted their gold bullish positions higher last week for a third consecutive week, according to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday.

There was panic on Wall Street Friday, August 21st, the Industrials diving 530.94 points, the S&P500 getting crushed for 65 points, and the NDX losing a huge 188 points. Let’s examine the magnitude of what just happened.

The bull market that wouldn't end finally has. In a brutal day that just kept getting worse, US stocks followed Asia and Europe into the deflationary vortex.

I was away last weekend…so there was no weekend letter. However, the setup for lower moves in metals failed…and we are now moving up to resistance levels I outlined a few weeks ago. Markets were hit extremely hard Thursday and Friday, actually the largest down-day...

The Dow Theory non-confirmation that began forming in February has been a warning. The Great Dow Theorist Robert Rhea once said, “A wise man leaves the market alone when the averages do not agree.”

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is up. A bear market bounce is in progress.Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. Short term is on buy signal and traders can play for the bounce.

Last week, we lamented how difficult it was to get a fix on the so many things going on in the world, and going wrong. It occurs to us that we are all in the midst of the New World Order going about business as usual,

John Hathaway, CFA, co-portfolio manager of the Tocqueville Gold Fund (TGLDX), was featured in an interview with The Octavian Report entitled, "Wealth Insurance: The Case for Owning Gold."

Precious metals for the most part have reached their initial rebound targets. Gold has led the charge by pushing above $1140 to $1150/oz resistance (for now), while Silver rebounded back to former support (the mid $15s). GDXJ has nearly touched $23 but GDX has...

For your viewing pleasure, some pictures that readers of this site and NFTRH.com have been aware of for some time now -- and NFTRH subscribers are repeatedly kept aware of (whether they like it or not). Gold is not just another metal…

Here we are six years after the "Great Financial Crisis". Since then, every acronym in the book has been thrown at the economy and financial markets…but to what end? The economy has gone nowhere over these six years, "recovery" has been the meme ...but never "...

The smaller gold miners and explorers have suffered catastrophic stock-price losses in recent years. These extreme declines have led investors and speculators to assume that much of this sector won’t survive lower prevailing gold prices. But nothing could be...

At the end of the week before last the amount of physical gold held by the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the largest gold bullion ETF, fell to its lowest level since September-2008. What does this tell us?

There are various reasons, both fundamental and technical, to believe that a market crash is almost upon us. This crash will affect virtually all world markets, including and especially the big Western Markets which have thus far escaped the devastation already...

Originally published May, 2004: For many months now I have been spending many long, enjoyable and fruitful hours reading hundreds of excellent essays in the modern day equivalents of the public library. These websites, their owners and contributors are similar to...

We concluded in previous article that gold is not an inflation hedge, at least for the short or medium-term investors. So maybe it is a safe-haven, the second most important feature assigned to gold?

It is official; the multi-month trading range on Wall Street has now ended with a breakout to the downside. You will recall that the major US indices were in a quiet, consolidation phase since December and over the past several weeks, we wrote extensively about the...

A five year old could look at today’s stock market chart and see that it is set for a free-fall! The question remains, WHEN and HOW MUCH will it decline? I have said before May is a good month to go on vacation and return after the usual fall correction, just...

I always advise investors to follow the smart money, and two people high on the list are Stanley Druckenmiller and Warren Buffett. Second-quarter regulatory filings show that Stanley Druckenmiller, the famed hedge fund manager, just placed more than $323 million of...

NFTRH 353 introduced the idea of a Macrocosm, a planetary representation of elements that need to come into place for a real investment stance on the gold stock sector (as opposed to the imagined elements cooked up by perma-bulls over the last few years). The...

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our cycle work suggests an additional 12-18 months of correction before the Major bottom in both gold and silver prices. Now, before you get too upset let me explain why we are supporting such an unpopular view.

China's recent mini-devaluations had less to do with her mounting economic challenges…and more to do with a statement from the IMF on 4 August, that it was proposing to defer the decision to include the yuan in the SDR until next October.

Most people are blissfully ignorant of the fact that 2007-8 was just a mild rehearsal of what we soon are going to experience. The additional $60 trillion in credit and printed money since then and the lowering of interest rates to zero have given the world the...

“On May 22, 2015, Yi Gang, the Vice-Governor of the People’s Bank of China (the “PBoC”) said at a forum in Beijing that “It’s not necessary”1 to bolster growth by devaluing the yuan. Mr. Yi pointed to China’s trade surplus, which has narrowed in recent years but...

The idea of a "Dollar price of gold" is a mistaken idea, although universally shared. Just as mistaken as the idea that the Sun revolves around the Earth. Gold is the most highly demanded of all things in this world. Every single gram of gold in the world is owned...
