Gold Editorials & Commentary

The gold stocks started to correct this week as large caps were off 13% at Thursday’s low. Both juniors and large caps have made tremendous gains since the January 19 bottom and are ripe for some profit taking. The Fed minutes provided the catalyst for such and we...

We've seen some very positive and encouraging market action in the metals this year with silver up close to 19% year-to-date, and gold up 18% as we're talking here on Thursday morning. Although, the precious metals are pulling back sharply this week. Assess the...

Gold Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are among the American Public’s most popular methods to hold, trade or speculate in gold. They were first offered in the 1990’s. The largest, SPDR Gold Shares, began in 2004. The early ETFs encountered significant resistance because...

The first reaction from the hard money camp would be to state we are insane or that we longer value hard money. Taking that line of thought would only set you on the wrong track; we are not against hard money or the Gold standard. However, most of those in the hard...

Yesterday the stock market and gold prices fell into their closing bells after the release of minutes of the Federal Reserve’s April meeting. The Federal Reserve did not raise interest rates at that meeting, but the minutes showed that some Federal Reserve Board...

One of the inspirations for our name, The Dollar Vigilante, was what used to be called the Bond Vigilantes. Last seen in full force in the inflationary early 1980s, bond vigilantes were anti-establishment figures who were said to have rebelled. They had decided to...

This past week, I read an article written by Mark O’Byrne which suggested that investors should fear the “bail-in.” Unfortunately, most do not really understand what happens during a “bail-in” scenario, so the fear regarding it seems to trump the benefits.

Somewhere back in the depths of time the world got the idea that easy money — that is, low interest rates and high levels of government spending — would produce sustainable growth with modest but positive inflation. And for a while it seemed to work.

This is a special preview of the KE Report Weekend Show. In this week's show, we feature a legend in the resource industry Rick Rule. This is a preview of the first of two segments where we get Rick's opinion of what is driving gold this year.

Bank bail-ins pose risks to retail investors and especially savers throughout the western world. The new bail-in rules have been made operational since the beginning of this year in the EU and in many other countries, yet the risks and ramifications of bail ins have...

This is the opening segment from the May 15 edition of Notes From the Rabbit Hole, NFTRH 395. I am releasing it for public viewing because it seems, the title’s question has come roaring to the forefront this week. So the information (including the charts) is...

Thanks to High Frequency Trading and the rise of the machines in the electronic markets, gold and the S&P 500 Index are difficult for non-machines to understand and predict on a short term basis.

I expect one of two things to happen next, neither of them particularly bearish. Scenario #1 calls for June Gold to fall just a bit more, to the 1251.00 Hidden Pivot support shown, then rally sharply to a new record high at 1336.30. More likely in my estimation...

Smart investors have noted that the S&P500 just staged a very dangerous looking move. That move was when S&P 500’s 50-week moving average broke below its 100-week moving average. You can see this in the green circle below.

Very few precious metals investors realize how recent trend changes will greatly impact the gold market going forward. The reason many investors fail to grasp the huge change in the gold market is that they look at data or information on an individual basis. To...

Buy gold and silver coins and bars for delivery and storage has advocated a leading Irish financial adviser. Eddie Hobbs has given advice to his clients and says that they should buy silver and gold bullion in order to protect from the coming global financial crisis...

At the start of the year the prevailing mood in the oil market was not just one of gloom and doom but of catastrophe as the oil price sunk below $30, skidding by the middle of February to virtually touch $25, a period during which many prominent analysts and...

Strange are the times when a third of all government debt around the world carries a negative yield, and yet such is the case today. From Japan to eurozone countries, investors are faced with the tough decision of accepting subzero yields, doing nothing—or seeking...

Currently, a 'sharp fall' is now anticipated within the equity markets! This decline will be accompanied with 'new volatility'. There is a great deal of 'uncertainty 'within the US markets. Currently, we are viewing a 'textbook' 'Head & Shoulders pattern' in the...

Since the beginning of the year, the greenback has shown it's not almighty after all; and gold - the barbarous relic as some have called it - may be en vogue again? Where are we going from here and what are the implications for investors?

I have some really bad news to tell you. You know those big investment banks … the ones that just can’t wrap their heads around gold? It turns out that they don’t hate it so much anymore. In fact, a few of them even love bullion now.

Wednesday morning – and my head is not only spinning from the swarming, worldwide tsunami of “PM bullish, everything-else-bearish” news; but the most egregious – and ultimately, self-defeating – market manipulation of all time.

A TSI subscriber recently reminded me of an indicator that I regularly cited in ‘the old days’ but haven’t mentioned over the past few years. The indicator is the bond/dollar ratio (the T-Bond price divided by the Dollar Index).

In the aftermath of the global economic crisis of 2008-2009, governments throughout the world have fostered a tenuous recovery predicated on massive increases in money supplies and debasement of currencies.

For weeks, the GDX has been on the edge of a break out, while showing signs of the corrective pullback we would rather see first. But, as I have said many, many times, when the metals finally turn bullish, retracements often are VERY shallow, as they do not let the...

The Greek debt crisis has been the topic of many Gold New Monitors. When we wrote about the last bailout of Greece, we expressed concerns that the crisis was not ended, but only hibernated and that we would hear more about Hellas in the not-so-distant future.

In the overnight session gold reached a low of 1270.00 at the time that this Post was being written. On the Intraday Chart, since the high of 1306.00 was made, the wave patterns continues to be made of a series of overlapping waves in both directions. This type of...
