Gold Editorials & Commentary

The referendum for the Swiss Gold Initiative is scheduled for November 30th and the propaganda war - between the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the Swiss Parliament on one side and the Swiss People's Party (SVP) on the other - has begun and we expect it to escalate...

It’s the dawn of another day in the worst month of global stock market “crash season." Long ago, I defined global stock market crash season as the August 7th to October 31st timeframe. Investors who fail to exit general equity market positions by August 7th each...

The biggest issue for maintaining the Euro has been one of political tension. In the US, politics takes a backseat to economics. If the economy goes into the toilet, there are political repercussions. This is because the US Government as bloated as it is, comes...

The price of gold rebounded from its 15-month low last week to see its biggest weekly gain in four months. After failing to break below a key support level at $1180 an ounce the price of gold rallied higher for the first time in a long while last week, with gold...

Numerous globally recognized stock analysts and sage market pundits are voicing bearish opinions of the possible forth-coming crash in major stock markets. Here are a few bearish predictions.

In the last issue of this publication, I warned that the Dow Jones Industrial Average and several other key U.S. equity markets had completed a monthly Key Point Reversal top in the month of July. As I have written on several occasions these reversals, whether highs...

Years ago when I set out to study huge growth patterns in markets -- more commonly known as "bubbles" -- I discovered a remarkable timing signature common to every single one of these patterns:

The equity markets are finally seeing action that has even the most hardened bulls running scared. In the past, I’ve been quick to dismiss selling periods – Cycle Lows – as natural regression-to-the-mean events. In a bull market, an oscillating Cycle pattern of two...

Three years ago in early 2011, I cautioned my readers to be careful to chase gold and silver higher as it was moving parabolic. Now it is oversold and ignored. Be careful now of parabolic rises in the S&P500 (SPY), Long term US Treasuries (TLT) and US dollar (...

Last week we saw a continued selloff in energy stocks and a slump in commodity prices, specifically oil. In light of this, I’ve highlighted some key points I made during our latest webcast that might offer investors some clarity and insight into our management...

Ever since 2008, anytime stocks began to collapse sharply, “someone” stepped in and put a floor under the market. In 2010, the S&P 500 staged a death cross, where its 50-DMA broke below its 126-DMA (the half year moving average). Stocks were in a perilous state...

I’m going to divide this Weekend Report up into two parts, the stock markets and the precious metals complex. Both of these markets are on the move right now so we need examine them for clues to see if this is just a short term trading strategy or something more...

Once a year I have a physical. My blood work came back and I’m normal except I have high cholesterol levels. My doctor wants me to take a cholesterol lowering drug, but for reasons I’m not going into here I don’t want to. A year ago when I was screened for my...

On September 20th, we posted a warning article to our subscribers. “HIGH ALERT!!! The stock market sits at a very precarious place this weekend. There are important and rare technical indicators that are contemporaneously telling us that a major stock market top is...

A wild week as markets began to act very sloppy. Wide and loose action with large daily swings is rarely a good thing and we are now beginning to break lower. I’m still not sure just how deep this correction will go…but 200-day moving averages are coming into sight...

The Federal Reserve tried to fix the U.S. economy by Quantifornication - stimulus measures. Investors reacted to the Fed's unconventional efforts. Since the U.S. dollar is the world’s reserve currency and precious metals are priced in dollars they bought gold and...

Miscellaneous, with a central not-so-apparent binder. Do they relate to gold and silver? In a way, yes. At the end of September, Yahoo ran a picture of Putin along side of Stalin. No too much in the way of suggestive association at play here by the media intent on...

Since our major buy signal on USD in 2011, both gold and silver have declined substantially. And now, the dollar is testing upper resistance, and upon a successful breakout, could affect the metals for a very long time to come.

Gold closed last week below $1200 for the first time but has since rebounded from support at $1180. Silver has also rebounded but only after declining in 11 of the past 12 weeks. Precious Metals endured a very rough September and became very oversold. With Gold near...

Gold, Russell Index, Silver, GDX & GDXJ Analysis via videos.

The next round of the financial crisis is at our doorstep. The primary driver of the stock market, since 2009, has been the expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet. Remove this expansion and the S&P 500 would have effectively flat-lined. Now the Fed is ending QE...

The US dollar has relentlessly blasted higher in recent months, achieving its longest consecutive-week rally in history. Speculators have flooded into the world’s reserve currency for a variety of reasons, ranging from Federal Reserve rate-hike hopes to festering...

Recent evidence points increasingly towards global economic contraction. Parts of the Eurozone are in great difficulty, and only last weekend S&P the rating agency warned that Greece will default on its debts "at some point in the next fifteen months". Japan is...

“Among other things, these dismal employment ratio numbers tells you why the Wall Street patter about PE multiples being at or below historical norms is so wrong-headed. The capitalization rate for the American economy should be falling because the dependency burden...

It has not been easy being a believer in gold over the past two years. Gold is down about 37% from its 2011 top. The biggest portion of the drop took place over two days in April 2013 when gold plunged roughly $200 from $1,564 to $1,360 when someone dumped 400 to...

On May 19, 2014, the European Central Bank and 20 other European central banks announced the signing of the fourth Central Bank Gold Agreement. This agreement, which applies as of September 27, 2014, will last for five years and the signatories have stated that...

The stock market is no longer cheap. The single best predictor of stock market performance is the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio or CAPE ratio. Most investors price a company based on its current Price to Earnings or P/E ratio. Essentially what you’re...

Gold, silver and stocks surged overnight and today after the Fed maintained their ultra dovish monetary policy stance. The risk to markets of an early hike in U.S. interest rates eased leading to a fall in the dollar after the release of minutes of the last Federal...

Years of a severe downturn in the gold market have left very few bulls to speak out in favor of the yellow metal. Here are some positive opinions on the future of the precious metal, from the recently concluded Casey Research Fall Summit.
