Gold Editorials & Commentary

Mr. Bear may currently be in hiding, but he can scarcely contain himself. The media is currently focused on the financial garbage from Greece and Puerto Rico stinking up investment portfolios, but truth be told the entire global bond market is putrid.

Gold has not even been able to muster a rally on the Greek crisis, which is a bad sign, especially as the dollar looks like it is preparing to break out upside from a large consolidation pattern. On its 8-year chart we can see that gold is still in the large down-...

The artificial growth of the U.S. economy this year was made possible by the greatest inventory build-up in history, with many analysts even doubting the figures that cite growth in the first place. I am far from the first to have discussed these points.

Are we having fun yet? There is quite a bit of fun here State Side today as we celebrate our having completed 239 years of Independence, (to the chagrin of those amongst our nation's riffraff who try to wrest it away from us). However for Gold, rather than having...

Sorry to bear negative news on the 239th birthday of the United States of America, but there is a fast approaching economic collapse and stock market crash that will affect the entire world. We need to be prepared. Now.

Often times I like to write about an event or someone else's article because of the importance to the overall picture. Today I will do something a little different. Below is an e-mail I received last Thursday from a friend. I have the utmost respect for his...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. Traders should be in cash or short. Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. COT data reveals that speculation is close to levels of previous bottoms.

In the turbulent times like the ones we might be about to witness, the attention of precious metals investors tends to be focused on metals themselves, in particular gold and silver. Greece seems to be in a pretty precarious position, with a referendum coming in on...

Gold & Silver Target, T-Bonds & Dow, GDX & GDXJ, Gold & Silver Volume analysis via videos.

The US Federal Reserve has been universally lauded for the apparent success of its extreme monetary policy of recent years. With key world stock markets near record highs, traders universally love the Fed’s zero-interest-rate and quantitative-easing campaigns. But...

Gold and silver had a poor week, with no relief from drifting prices after the end of the second quarter. The gold price opened on Monday morning in the Far East at $1,187 and fell to a low point at $1,158 yesterday. Silver mirrored gold's move falling from $16.05...

Bill Holter joins The Doc for an Exclusive Update on the Greek Crisis, and the Potential for a Full Derivatives CONTAGION, Discussing: 1. Greek problem is not $3 billion, its $3 TRILLION IN DERIVATIVES- Will ISDA Allow Default? 2. Greek default WAS NOT PRICED IN-...

Goldcore Research Director, Mark O’Byrne was recently interviewed by Max Kaiser in London. Although gold prices have been flat for a number of years there have been some very interesting developments in that time.

Measuring wealth with an ever-expanding ruler makes for a carnival illusion of safety, suspended in a vast, uneven web of complexity. The longer society and culture remain detached from the nature of true wealth, the more fragile we become to ‘normal’ risk....

The most common complaint I now hear as to why many are fearful of investing in precious metals is that they feel they have been “manipulated to go down.” While many investors have been scared into believing this perspective by many market pundits as the metals...

Going forward, economic and stock market uncertainty will rise. As this happens, without a doubt, gold will do what it does best: protect wealth for investors. Uncertainty will be mainly driven by three factors: the Federal Reserve; a struggling global economy; and...

The Fuse on the Global Debt Bomb has been lit. We are now officially in the Crisis to which the 2008 Meltdown was just the warm up. The process will take time to unfold. The Tech Bubble, arguably the single biggest stock market bubble of all time, was both obvious...

American industrialist J. Paul Getty once said: “If you owe the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.” And when the amount is $1.73 billion, it’s everyone’s problem. Greece is officially in arrears for missing...

I linked Barry Ritholtz’s gold bug swipe along with other items in an Around the Web post. Anything linked (or republished from guests for that matter) on this site is to be taken as 100% their view, not mine. You, the reader are tasked with using your own brain...

"It is related of the illustrious Sandy McHoots that when, on the occasion of winning the British Open Championship, he was interviewed by reporters from the leading daily papers as to his views on Tariff Reform, Bimetallism, the Trial by Jury System, and the Modern...

The USDollar is on a collision course with imminent death. It is utterly amazing that so many supposedly smart analysts and highly paid wealth managers cannot see the obvious path on which the USDollar treads, limps, and struts proudly, dangerously, and abusively,...

The situation in the precious metals market remains bearish and based on this week’s disappointing performance of precious metals and very weak performance of mining stocks (and the breakdown below the critical support), it further deteriorated. It’s not extremely...

So last week to the surprise of many…and in spite of an impending Greek default (or arrears as a default has now been renamed!) gold ended the week down. This was in line with our forecast published every Sunday before the markets open. We have maintained our...

Puerto Rican Governor Alejandro García Padilla addressed the island’s people about $73 billion debt. With all eyes on Greece it would seem another crisis relating to unpayable debt is brewing in the Caribbean. The governor of Puerto Rico, Alejandro García Padilla,...

While not many pay any attention to these two larger time frames, especially the Quarterly, both are more controlling and receive greater attention from smart money players. These time frames are not at all used for market timing, but they do show the dominance of...

I am watching the latest on goings in Greece from deep on the sidelines. One analyst after another suggests that Greece is on the verge of imploding. And, we have been warned so many times that such an implosion will have a dire effect upon the Euro, as well as...

Not that almost any and all news today is enough to make you scratch your head, two pieces of news yesterday were bombshells! I am talking about Greece's stance of staying IN the Eurozone and the Zerohedge article regarding JPM "cornering" the global commodity...

Gold was weaker in the overnight session reaching a low of 1169.10, at the time that this Post was being written. It appears that wave .b. of our wave -d- triangle is not complete at the 1168.10 low, as we had previously suggested so we are now expecting another...

As the crisis in Greece (and now Puerto Rico) intensifies, Global markets (except gold) are tumbling. Greek banks are closed, and the situation looks grim. Incredibly, the enormous volatility seen in US stock markets yesterday could intensify, when the US jobs...

Now that we know Greece will default, where do things go from here? Before getting to that very tough question (with no concrete answers), I would ask another stinging question. "Was a Greek default really "already in the market"?
