Gold Editorials & Commentary

This latest capitulation by gold-stock investors has left this hated sector at truly apocalyptic lows. Bearish consensus is so extreme that pretty much everyone believes the gold miners are doomed to spiral lower forever. But today’s horrendous gold-stock price...

Simply put, QE can never be halted or even slowed. The USFed is in a corner, with no policy options, facing collapse, with no ability whatsoever to halt the systemic failure in progress. It can only rely on hidden machinery and profound lies, against a background of...

Gold and gold miners have rebounded but remain in a technically weak position. Both markets have failed to move beyond the highs made last Friday. The same happened to the gold stocks in early October. They exploded higher one day but failed to muster anything after...

BIG PICTURE – The recent turbulence in the stock market is behind us and a rally is now underway. Given the fact that we have recently entered the most favourable 6-month period of the US Presidential Cycle, it is our contention that Wall Street will advance quite...

A strange shift has taken place amongst the global Central Banks… though no one in the mainstream media has noticed it. That shift has been from “growth” to “inflation.”

Below is a summary of some of the aspects we follow in NFTRH to gauge a future investment stance on the gold sector. It is much more complex than simply hearing dogma that seems to make sense and then holding on for dear life…

It was only a week ago that gold appeared to be staring into a deep abyss (Chart of the Week – Gold and Oil – Into the Abyss? – November 6, 2014). The dreaded “vomiting camel” pattern appeared poised to “hurl” gold down to $700/$800. While I warned about the...

Some influences on the stock market are casual, subtle or open to interpretation, but the catalyst behind the current stock market rally really shouldn't be controversial. As far as stocks go, we have lived by QE. The only question now is, whether we will die...

Joe Wickwire, research analyst and portfolio manager at Fidelity investments, presented some very grounded, reasonable arguments as to why one should buy gold at the LBMA Precious Metals Conference in Lima, Peru which concluded on Tuesday.

Tonight I want to explore the relationship between the US dollar, the Japaneses Yen and gold. Most investors know that a rising US dollar is usually a bad sign for commodities and the precious metals complex. When the US dollar is falling commodities and the...

The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) is an equity index that provides exposure to small and medium sized companies that generate at least 50% of their revenues from gold and/or silver mining. It is listed on the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) with price...

Gold dropped to new lows of $1,130 per ounce last week. This is surprising because it doesn’t square with the fundamentals. China and India continue to exert strong demand on gold, and interest in bullion coins remains high.

How much longer are you going to let Wall Street determine the price you are permitted to charge for your product? How much longer will you stand by and watch as computer traders raise and mostly lower the price of your product, by selling contracts in the futures...

The IRS walks into a little unknown restaurant in Iowa and announces that they have confiscated the owner’s bank account of $33,000, a little old ladies life’s savings! Today a little known law allows your government to confiscate checking or savings account...

The rally will need some giddy-up to escape gravity’s pull, since merely dawdling at these levels will only increase the risk of relapse below a major Hidden Pivot support at 1137.50. The support has been tested twice and done its job, but it seems unlikely to hold...

Goldman Sachs is making more rational statements about gold stocks. ‘The investment bank says 24 of the 27 gold operations under its coverage posted recoveries in line with its expectations – “which suggests to us that the vast majority of gold assets are now...

On November 30th, the Swiss are voting whether to amend their country’s constitution on an initiative entitled ‘Save our Swiss Gold.’ The Swiss gold initiative appears widely misunderstood, both inside and outside of Switzerland. We discuss implications for gold,...

Now that sucked, didn’t it? We ended the week thinking, ah, at long last, a decent rally in Gold! After yesterday’s nasty slide, however, which took back two-thirds of the gain, it’s starting to looks like the rally was just a one-day wonder.

Gold and silver price manipulation, "we" have talked and written about it for years. I can still remember speaking two or three times a week with the late Harry Bingham back in 1997 and '98 regarding this topic. No matter what "event" popped up which logically and...

Anyone with even a cursory understanding of human nature knows that if you give someone virtually unlimited power with next to no oversight, they will quickly become despotic. Consider what is currently happening in Japan.

Currency wars are set to warm up again, after Japan's radical decision to further debase its currency through an intensification of already significant monetary easing. There was a palpable coldness from China's Premier Xi Jinping as he greeted Japan's President Abe...

Gold prices began this week on a softer note after surging on Friday. The price of the yellow metal snapped a seven-day loss to end sharply higher on Friday, as the price of spot gold rallied by 2.6% or $37 an ounce to close out the week at $1178.50 an ounce. The...

In our opinion no speculative positions are currently justified from the risk/reward perspective. In other words, closing short positions and taking profits off the table seems justified. Much happened on Friday in gold and mining stocks and the key question is this...

Suspicions that the price of precious metals are frequently manipulated by a few international banks were further confirmed over the weekend. UBS agreed to settle with various international regulatory bodies investigating rigging in foreign exchange and precious...

The amount of leverage in the U.S. Dollar fiat currency system reached an all-time high in 2013. Even though the growth in total U.S. currency more than doubled since the collapse of the Housing and Investment banking system in 2008, the majority of the increase...

Gold futures headed for the biggest gain since June after the U.S. September jobs report came in lighter than expected on Friday, 214,000 vs. 230,000 forecasts. The jobs report supported ongoing speculation that the Federal Reserve will continue to hold interest...

Gold prices will shoot dramatically higher if the Swiss gold referendum passes on November 20th because it will be the final release for negative gold leasing rates that are pushing for higher prices like a brick being pulled on a string, and only held back by the...

When you read the word “bottom” in a chart pattern’s name, you probably assume the pattern will carry a given marketplace higher for a sustained period of time. What you may not think about is a pattern that delivers a deceiving move up to the top of a highly...

Dr Marc Faber has again urged people in the world to be diversified, own physical gold and to be their own central bank.

In early November we find the Dow Jones moving from one new all-time high to the next while the price of gold (and silver) only seem to go down, that is until today. This is certainly not hard to understand; the Western central banking system wants valuations in...
