Gold Editorials & Commentary

A big pet peeve of mine is when an article is published talking about a shortage in silver or gold. Recently, we have seen an increase in articles claiming precious metals shortages simply because both the U.S. mint and Royal Canadian Mint ran out of blanks.

As a follow up from yesterday’s A Weekend’s Heads Up, my thoughts were truly an understatement for today’s action! The open was far weaker than I had anticipated, down 1,089 points. This was the biggest point drop in Dow history. The volatility was out of control...

We saw an amazing capitulation event in equities these past three sessions. It’s clear that market internals were weak, but no one could have foreseen the degree and rapidity of the selloff. The major US indices have already entered into official corrections (-10...

US Investors are on edge following last week’s and today’s sell-off in stocks around the globe. The carnage impacted equity markets in Asia, Europe, and the U.S.

This week market relationships underwent a sea-change with a sudden realisation that the global economy is in a deepening crisis. Equity valuations in the developed nations are falling sharply and corporate bond spreads are widening, triggering a flight to the...

Gold last week broke above its 50-day moving average as a fresh round of negative news from around the globe rekindled investors’ interest in the yellow metal as a safe haven. The Fear Trade, it seems, is in full force.

Fasten your seat belts, this ride is getting interesting. Last week the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down more than 1,000 points, notching its worst weekly performance in four years. The sell-off took the Dow Jones down more than 10% from its peak valuations,...

It’s been several weeks since our previous article on gold price predictions was published and quite a lot happened since that time, so we believe an update would be appreciated. In today’s articles we’ll do exactly that – we’ll keep you updated on our gold price...

The market’s technical damage of the last week has been severe. The stock market began its near-vertical climb in late 2012. Since that time, the 126-day moving average (DMA) and 280-DMA have served as major lines of support for the bull market.

Friday’s action closed horribly in the US with the Dow Index losing 530 for the day. This broke away from the support level of 17,200-17,300, which will now become overhead resistance. Global equity markets around the world are in crash mode as more than a dozen are...

Gold Fields was the best-performing senior mining stock for the week, up 33.96 percent. CEO Nick Holland said investors are missing the quality of its foreign operations by focusing on delays and higher costs at its domestic projects. The company’s mines in Peru,...

Unlike government supplied statistics, which are always favorably skewed to misrepresent the lies being told, markets do not lie. Not even manipulated ones like the stock market, actually pick almost any market.

Before we look at some weekend charts I just want to second Sir Fullgoldcrown’s Friday night post at the forum. We created Rambus Chartology so we could have a community of like-minded investors who want to learn as well as share what they have experienced in their...

There is an exquisite setup building once again. Tight fundamentals in the gold market apply upwards pressure on the price. For quite a while, we have been saying gold’s fundamental price was around a hundred bucks above the market price. Well, the market price...

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 "...
