Much has been made about the drop in COMEX gold stocks. COMEX gold stocks have fallen from 11.1 million ounces in the end of 2012 to just under 8 million ounces today.

You know that gold bear market that the financial press keeps touting? The one George Soros keeps proclaiming? Well, it is not there. The gold bear market is disinformation that is helping elites acquire the gold.

This has been one of the worst stretches for gold and silver pricewise in quite some time, no secret there.  I have to go back to when silver was in single digits to find a comparable period.   The question on precious metals inves

In a recent post, The Pull from the Future, I discussed how any sort of quantitative model based on statistics, earnings, GDP -- really any extrapolation of past data into the future -- is just not a viable method for forecasting f

The gold market was smashed as you can see by the collapsing red line which occurred at 6 P.M. Sunday May 19. As far as I am concerned nothing in the bullish picture has been violated. What is meaningful is on the following pages.

There are several indications that the currency war is heating up, the gloves are coming off and new players are piling into the barroom brawl.

Let’s take a look at a few graphs of the dollar, from Feb 1, 2013 through Friday May 17, 2013. Yes, I said graphs of the dollar. I’ve priced the dollar in gold first (of course), then silver, the euro, and even the yen.

1. Huge rallies begin from these conditions

Gold’s Bull market from 1999 is not over. The decline from September 2011 is a two year correction inside a multi-decade Bull Market Rally. This corrective decline is finishing now.

The US government usually admits to "price inflation" of about 2%/year. As far as we can tell, the actual rate is probably at least 5%/year, but no more than 7%/year. Let's say 5%/year for the sake of argument.
