Mark Mead Baillie Articles

The biggest eye-opener for us through the first four trading days of 2024 — a year in which we’ve called for Gold 2375 — is the Dollar’s sudden resilience.  Oh to be sure:  the FinMedia buzz is focused on whether or not the Federal Open...
‘Twas a year ago at this time we opted out of forecasting a high price for Gold in 2023, other than to opine ‘twould make a new All-Time High (above that of 2089 from 07 August 2020), which indeed eventuated at 2152 this past 04 December...
You likely shan’t glean this from anywhere else, so here we go.  In this 23rd year of the 21st century, for these past five trading days leading up to Christmas, Gold recorded a net weekly gain of +1.5%, settling yesterday (Friday) at 2065...
Yes, ’tis The Gold Update, but we’re compelled (as occasionally is our wont) to start with stocks’ suicide mission, given Gold in upside fruition (albeit still vastly undervalued) is doing just fine, thank you very much.
Misfortune for the stock market is well overdue to ensue, with respect to Gold, calamity is descriptively apropos following the second consecutive daily record high of 2152 achieved this past Monday (04 December) … following which it all...
And so for Gold, as the expression goes, “Santa came early this year.”  In settling the week yesterday (Friday) at 2092, February Gold (the current “front month”) en route traded to as high as 2096, +7 points above the prior “front month”...

Some 40 years ago per advertising billboards for the evening blatt known as the San Francisco Examiner:  “A lot can happen between 9 and 5”.  And relative to just this past week, ’tis perfectly analogous to the state of Gold, Inflation and...
Let’s open with this from the “We Hate It When We’re Right Dept.” reinforced by the age-old axiomatic quip:  “Be careful of that for which you wish as you just might get it.”  And you regular readers definitely get it.  For bang-on-time...
From our purview, Gold appears on the perch of a downside lurch:  a classic post-geopolitical pullback. “Unless like you’ve said that maybe ‘it is different this time’, right mmb?” 

The volume of all the gold ever mined can occupy a cube 63 feet on each side.
