Gold Editorials & Commentary

In the new year, gold and silver is where you want to be at in 2023.

Gold’s performance in real terms is important for two reasons. First and foremost, it tends to be a leading indicator of the Gold price. That is instructive when Gold is rebounding but has yet to gain real traction or momentum.

Did you hope gold would break finally $2,000 in 2023? What if I told you that gold is going to soar to at least $3,000? Have I gone mad? No; that’s not my forecast, I only summarize the Saxo Bank’s Outrageous Predictions for 2023.

While the statistics scream, investors, often blinded by emotions, do not hear them. However, since history seems to rhyme, what do gold, silver, and mining stocks have in store for us?

In today's video I want to take a look at where my predictions for '22 and how those turned out, and what I think is probably in play for '23. At the beginning of the year I told all my subscribers I think it's going to be a difficult year to make any sustainable...

Ahead of the Christmas holiday, Congress gave taxpayers the gift of a 4,155-page, pork-laden $1.7 trillion spending bill. It will add to the ballooning $31.4 trillion national debt and hasten the country's lurch toward a fiscal and monetary crisis.

It’s been a decent year for big league assets like the Dow, the dollar, and for the greatest asset of all, which of course is gold.

Can gold's recent short-term rally be considered bullish, or can we expect a decline like in 2008? Is Silver Really Strong? Gold and silver are moving higher today, but nothing really changed despite that. Silver moved to its previous highs, while gold didn’t

In an economy that over decades has grown increasingly dependent on revved-up holiday sales, investors have responded by praying more fervently each year for a Santa rally. It’s an odd metaphor, however, considering that Wall Street even at its seasonal cheeriest...

Throughout 2022 there's been a theme of protecting assets against geopolitical risk. Central banks have been buying gold at a record pace, while others have been repatriating their gold holdings to keep them safe from jurisdictional risk. A risk that took on new...

I'm going to look at the miners today so I warned people back here at the beginning of the month that that miners were probably going to be stuck in a sideways churn for a while, they had a huge move, this was like a 30 plus percent move, in a very short period of...

Gold’s rally was just stopped by the resistance provided by its previous high and its 60-week moving average. Will gold now reverse? The shape of this and last week’s price moves provides the answer.

Here are today's videos and charts. The videos are viewable on mobile phones as well as computers.

Gold has been powering higher on balance for a couple months now, surging to major breakouts.  That upside momentum is improving sentiment, with traders growing more bullish on gold’s potential.  That is well-placed, as this upleg remains young.  Major gold uplegs...

In 2022 the gold price has started to validate our projection from last December, and 2023 should see a bull move in gold miners emerge for all to see (and one day chase due to FOMO)

Since the gold market now shows parallels to 2008 and 2013, what can we expect if the correction has just ended?

Below are my comments and answers to various questions about gold, inflation, and the Federal Reserve. They are “for the record” so to speak, and are meant to be taken literally and specifically…
