Gold Editorials & Commentary

As a follower and participant in the gold bull market from 2002 until now, I can say unequivocally that the two most bearish periods sentiment-wise in the bull market so far are the fall of 2008, and right now. Therefore, by definition, the two most profitable...

Gold has not glistened since the summer of 2011 when a substantial rally took it to an all-time record price of $1,900/oz. Since then however it has been a one way trek south punctuated by an occasional weak rally or head fake. Gold’s inability to sustain a...

Gold staged a nice upside breakout from a bullish flag pattern just hours ago. After rising from an inverse head and shoulders bottom pattern, gold promptly formed a bull flag. The target of this pattern is the $1235 - $1240 price zone.

We all know how the S&P500 responded to the advent of the QE’s, a Twist, and extreme low interest rates. As the saying goes, “It took off like a bat out of hell!” We can also use the old Superman shout, “Up, up and away!” This chart shows how obvious the rally...

I mentioned earlier that I wanted to revisit the current GOFO rate situation and also the huge anomaly which occurred on the COMEX not once, but two days in a row to end last week. I have written several times regarding "GOFO" which is the lease rate for London...

I would have written off the gold sector long ago in its ongoing bear market had I thought for one moment that gold’s utility as insurance against the acts of monetary madmen/women in high places had been compromised in any way. On the contrary, the monetary metal...

Concerns about deflation, recession and a return to the Eurozone debt crisis, may see the ECB follow Japan and print money to buy assets including shares, exchange traded funds and physical gold.

This past Friday was a near carbon copy of the previous Friday for the precious metals. Both were “outside reversal” days where the overnight and morning sessions were quite weak, only to bottom and then reverse to the upside strongly on very heavy volume by the...

We finally have some movement within the gold complex. And for a welcomed change, it’s to the upside. It has been dicey lately, as the back and forth daily swings have been unnerving. It’s not common within bear markets to see an asset form a Cycle Low and then...

Gold and silver prices have been trading in declining wedge patterns since 2011. Crude has traded in a flat to down wedge pattern for five years, and the S&P has been moving inexorably higher since early 2009 in a contracting wedge.

The precious metals sector continues to correct its recent downswing, while remaining in the medium-term downtrend, and it seems that it will move a bit higher before turning south again.

It has always fascinated me to hear the mainstream’s interpretation of the gold standard. The great majority – including many who are part and parcel to the financial elite – elicit a knee-jerk response to its mere utterance.

There is a popular American military term called a “last stand”, which is meant to describe a situation where a combat force attempts to hold a defensive position in the face of overwhelming odds. The defensive force usually sustains very heavy casualties or is...

On Twitter early Friday morning, I was throwing in the towel on Gold at the very instant Comex futures went bonkers. Technically speaking, the surge in the December contract $1.20 shy of an 1194.10 target that could have been extrapolated from the previous Friday’s...

If you go to the website, www.coinflation.com today you will find that the composition of a nickel is 75% copper and 25% nickel. Originally only silver dollars were real money at .77 troy oz of silver per dollar. Dimes, quarters and halves were 90% silver just...

Today I’m going to follow up on my last article “Are Commodities At A Major Turning Point?” If commodities and gold are ready to reverse, then the first thing that has to happen is the dollar needs to form a top. I think that may have occurred on November 7th when...

The US Dollar has been “strong” on foreign exchange markets for the past six months, with the USD Index having risen from 79 to 88, a gain of almost 11½%. That’s an increase in the value of the Dollars in your pocket (or bank account) compared to the currencies of...

Something BIG changed after the collapse of the U.S. Investment and Housing Markets as a huge crack in the Fiat Monetary System took place. After the world nearly disintegrated under the debt-based U.S Dollar system in 2008, some of the Central Banks of the world...

The Goldman Sachs’ argument about further falls in the gold price does have a fundamental flaw. The economic scenario it proposes is not very likely to happen, ergo gold prices are on the floor now and set to rise substantially in the very near future.

Using data from the US Treasury, updated through August of this year, let’s take a look at who is purchasing US Treasury bonds:

"Finally!” in English, “Por fin!” in Spanish and “About bloody time!!” in Australian. The belated rally in gold and silver finally got underway when it was least expected. The contrarian wins again!

China has made a new most important strategic choice – Asian Regionalization. “In the past few years, both Chinese and foreign analysts began to reach the conclusion that China has developed a fairly consistent and coherent grand strategy… Because economic...

A strange week for markets having not really advanced, but importantly, have worked off their massive overbought reading. Leadings stocks are resting or consolidating a bit while some remain strong. The bottom line remains that we are in the thick of the nice run...

Since 1999 the gold price has moved in concert with the growth in the US Federal Reserve Balance Sheet…including the recent correction in both during the past three years. Accordingly, the following objective analysis will forecast the gold price out to 2016…based...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012 when $HUI was at 550. Short term – on new buy signals. Gold sector cycle – up as of 11/14. COT data suggests a major bottom is not in yet for the metals.

Until there is a clear break of elite’s central banking dominance over the gold and silver markets, there will be no dramatic recovery reflective of where the true price for both metals should be. Whether it is $5,000 or $10,000 for gold or $100 or $200 for silver...

Winter is coming. Drilling deeper into the record market levels, the US is unlikely to fully escape the global headwinds. Namely, in the past six months, the world’s major currencies have fallen more than ten percent against the dollar in a stealth currency war...

If you’re waiting for capitulation in the gold market, don’t hold your breath. An argument for why the bottom in gold will come with a whimper, not a bang and why the mainstream media might be looking for capitulation in the wrong place.

In a recent landslide election, Republicans took back control of the Senate and House. President Obama’s approval rating is very low. Although there a few making money in the stock market, the majority of the American people are fed up with close to 100 million...
