Gold Editorials & Commentary

The FDIC is getting serious with banks across the nation to insure that all suspicious activity is reported insuring that no money laundering is being handled at their federally funded, insured facilities. You can be sure that these new requirements in customer...

One interpretation is that we are living in the best of all possible worlds. Another is that we are being led to financial slaughter.

In our opinion speculative short positions (full) in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective. We are keeping the stop-loss levels at their current levels, which means that we are effectively keeping some gains locked and at the...

From a seasonal perspective, gold tends to be a bit weak from late February until the end of the first or second week in March. I see nothing out of the ordinary with gold’s current price action.

Gold prices pared earlier gains on Monday after hitting the highest in almost two weeks as gains for equities cut demand for safe haven assets. In a surprise move, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) lowered the benchmark one-year loan rate by 0.25% to 5.35%. The one-...

We should now be in a very powerful wave ^iii^ rally that has the possibility of gold running to above the $1400 level. We are very encouraged by the wave structure shown on the attached 30 Min intraday chart. As you can see, this market is subdividing with rallies...

Is there anything Apple can’t do? First it revolutionized the personal computing business. Then, with the launch of the iPod in 2001, it forced the music industry to change its tune. Against initial market reservations, the company succeeded at making Star Trek-like...

Going into 2015 the economic outlook held by the U.S. investment establishment could not have been much more positive, and more unified. Pundits saw all the variables aligning to create the best of all investment worlds, a virtual "no-brainer" of optimism. Many...

It just wasn't our February, was it? No. And to think: after all that end-of-January flag-waving to support the tradition of love's favouring Gold in the month of February, only to see their relationship again go off the boil -- indeed to the worst degree this...

Every now and then I’ll do a post on “What If ” something is changing or not following along with what the original Chartology was suggesting. I have to keep an unbiased opinion and follow what the charts are saying. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. I know many...

Gold rebounded from the lowest level in seven weeks following Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s comments signaling that an interest rate increase isn’t imminent. Analysts are now coalescing around September for an initial rate hike. Gold climbed to the highest in...

The model is in a "soft" sell mode. A move above US$1,313 would probably signal the end of the bear market in gold. Seasonality remains weak until June. CoT-Data suggests that Gold needs more corrective price action before a contrarian buy signal will flash.

We continue to get mixed signals from the precious metals sector. A few of the mining stocks are looking bullish while the mining indexes remain fairly bearish. Gold looks somewhat bullish in the daily timeframe but the weekly chart is bearish. These mixed signals...

The past week showed low volatility. SPX has been decelerating over the past two weeks and looks ready to start a minor correction. We should know this coming week if that is its intention.

The common perception in the market is that the news causes changes in market psychology and fundamentals, which then causes changes in stock prices. But I believe that the correct, more consistently applicable premise is that market psychology and sentiment are the...

The 10/20 week cycle low is due within this time frame. The previous 10 wk cycle low (ideally 50 trading days) on Dec 15, 2014 ran just 43 trading days. The next ideal trading low is due on March 6, 2015.

A nice week for leading stocks and markets who are teetering at all-time highs once again. The bull markets are slowly raging on -- and that is great. Once we begin to really see things get out of control on the upside, the end will be near. But we are not yet there...

As most of you who’ve followed me over the years already know, I’m not really expecting a final three year cycle low in the CRB until later in the year. However… there are a few signs popping up that could be indicating that the 3 year cycle low is going to come...

The latest figures for net gold exports from Hong Kong into China confirm the latter nation’s strong demand in the run up to the Chinese New Year holiday. The figure for January was 76 tonnes, up from 71 tonnes in December, but it should be realised that this Hong...

While Russia may not have added to its gold reserves in January this does not mean its gold buying spree is over – at least not yet.

Strange things have been happening in NYSE market breadth, [also known as the Advance – Decline Line (A-D Line or A-D Ratio)] since April 1998. During the six year period from April 1998 through January 2003 (green circle below) the NYSE A-D Ratio behaved in...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012 when $HUI was at 550. Short term – on sell signals. Gold sector cycle – down as of 2/07, ending the up cycle since November.

Gold’s CoT data predictably improved again this week, but here I think some discussion is needed just in case it starts to get hyped too much. Below is the CoT on an improving trend of Commercial short covering and large Speculator long reduction. Okay, that’s good...

From a perspective of logic, the world makes less and less sense as the elites relentlessly, and successfully pursue their one world government. There has been an increased awareness of the Rothschilds, elites, bankers, those who control all money, all Western...

Technically speaking, today we have a confirmed low in gold price. It happened on the 35th trading day of this Common Cycle. Though 35-days is well beyond our average of 20-30 days, it still meets the rules. Over the past decade, I’ve noticed Common Cycles lasting...

The miners will typically lead Gold at major turning points. We say typically because the trend in the relationship is hardly exact or precise.

After peaking at just over $1,300, back on January 22, 2015 gold has been on a bit of a slide. The prime reason appears to be the fear that the Fed is about to hike interest rates. Is the fear rational? Probably not. Memories are no doubt short. They probably forgot...

Mexico’s massive precious-metals belts are some of the world’s finest. As global #1 in silver production they are obviously quite well known for the shiny-white metal. But these belts have also been flexing their gold muscles recently, placing Mexico among the...

The Euro Working Group discussed Greece’s imminent funding problems yesterday amid mounting concern about how the country will meet its massive obligations.

A three ring circus is performing – to entertain and impoverish the western world. Ring # 1: The Euro tragedy is “extending and pretending” into a Greek drama. Ring # 2: Iraq 3.0 is in beta test mode based on weapons of mass propaganda. Ring # 3: The conflict in...
