Gold Editorials & Commentary

There is a conflation of three related events that materially alter the prospects in favour of a higher gold price. The change in the outlook for US interest rates has probably put an end to the dollar’s four-year bull run, it is clear that there is a growing...

On the heels of last week’s sharp recovery, the Japanese yen has continued to climb out of the broad base carved over the past year, making fresh 14 month highs and leading the currency charge against the US dollar. Worth noting, Monday's close marked the first...

If a stock has "bottomed out", it means it might have reached its low point and could be in the early stages of an upward trend. Investors usually see a bottom as an opportunity to purchase securities when they are potentially underpriced…The bottom is used in...

If you held LinkedIn in your portfolio, you have lost more than 43% of your investment within a single day, and it is most likely to decline even further. In the current situation of flux, it is difficult to find an asset class where you can safely deposit your...

"The Fed doesn't have a clue!" - I allege that not only because the Fed appears to admit as much (more on that in a bit), but also because my own analysis leads to no other conclusion. With Fed communication in what we believe is disarray, we expect the market to...

The stock market, the US dollar and gold are all undergoing important changes in trend that will impact millions of investors around the globe for the next several months to years. Sadly, a large percentage of investors are completely oblivious to this fact. Many...

In one of his starkest warnings yet, Former White House Budget Director (Office of Management and Budget, OMB), David Stockman has warned that banks and the global financial system remain vulnerable and there is likely to be another global financial crisis which...

An exclusive Interview with First Majestic CEO Keith Neumeyer on Metals, Mining, and Manipulation.

Back in 2011, the market was eagerly waiting for gold to exceed the $2,000 level. Everyone viewed it as a certainty at the time. Yet, we suggested that it was time to sell once we struck the $1,915 level, with the market topping out only $6 higher.

After my last article we received two logical questions from readers. The first one pertaining to "gaps" and the Deutsche Bank derivative exposure; the second pertaining to Japan's strong currency with negative yields while the debt to GDP levels are astronomical...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this chart is probably worth a lot more. It illustrates how the BLS has been lying through its teeth over the past seven years. Then again anyone with a grain of common sense could figure out that the retarded...

Only a couple of weeks ago, I said we were entering the jaws of the Epocalypse. Now we are sliding rapidly down the great beast’s throat toward its cavernous belly. The biggest economic collapse the world has ever seen is consuming everything — all commodities, all...

Precious metals have risen sharply in recent days as investors looked for alternatives to the stock market and US dollar. Both gold and silver pushed through important technical resistance levels. Metals bulls hope to see markets enter a virtuous cycle; improving...

In the overnight session Gold dropped to 1186.10 before recovering to 1197.70. On the Intraday Chart the drop from 1201.20 to 1186.10 looks corrective. Therefore, we expect that once this correction ends, if it has not already done so at the 1186.10 low, gold might...

Gold has stunned most of the world’s analysts with a major rally after Janet Yellen hiked rates. The citizens of China also appear to have greatly increased their buying. In the past few days, instead of waning, this rally has relentlessly intensified. Some gold...

Gold surged another 1.5% higher yesterday, and had its best closing level since mid-June as strong physical demand and concerns about the global economy, the banking sector and the risks of a new global financial crisis saw further gains.

Gold has been on a roll these past few weeks as it has rocketed from the lows of $1046 on December 3rd to a high of $1200 this past day. That is an advance of 17% and doubtless many are wondering if this is the start of a new multi-year bull market for gold (and by...

A topic written about before, "GAPS". This is no acronym, simply a description of what is going to happen, probably quite soon! If you don't know what a gap is now, you will know it when you see it! In technical terms, a "gap" opening is when a market opens...

For decades now, China has been the leading driver of global growth, consuming unfathomable amounts of raw materials and commodities. Today, the Asian giant is undergoing dramatic changes, as its government deepens reforms and opens the country’s economy up to...

A picture is worth 4-plus years and thousands of words, and the picture below has a lot to say. I’ll say some words as well, since I have kept them bottled up for years in an effort to make sure we operate with discipline as opposed to gold bug style emotion.

The most common question I hear is "when". When does the system collapse? When will we experience a re-set? I think this is a very odd question. Odd because if you stand back far enough you should be able to see "you are watching it"! We are all so close and...

Almost every other day I read an article telling me that owning Gold is dumb or that Gold is doomed as an investment. These articles would be useful or insightful if they weren’t based on “analysis” that is either misleading or downright wrong.

Last week’s comments were influenced by the abnormally low silver fix, at $13.58. It was not by accident, but had to be carefully planned an executed. Deliberate as can be. Consider that the bank on the fixing panel HAD to know that as very large projected sales...

The Federal Reserve is now testing a plan to apply negative interest rates to banks counts. Under this plan, banks will charge interest on the money you keep in deposit. As far as the Fed’s concerned, it’s important to get the “consumer” to loosen up in order to get...

It appears the great gold bear of 2011-2016 has now ended. Mr Bear has now completed his work of cleaning up all the garbage and malinvestment created by reckless management teams over the past 15 years.

The pervasive narrative on Wall Street is that the collapse in oil prices will, any second now, restore consumers to their profligate spending ways. In fact, financial pundits have been calling for plunging energy prices to imminently rescue the economy for the past...

It looks as if SPX concluded its a-b-c correction in an uptrend when it reached 1947 early last week. Since then, it has retraced about 75 points down to the important 1868-1872 support zone which was formed by the August/September 2015 lows. Significant re-...

There are today several indisputable Bear Market Foot Prints in the US stock markets. Indeed they were telltale barometers in forecasting the stocks Crash in 2001-2003 and again in 2007-2008. Unfortunately, these same Bear Market Foot Prints are again visible…and...

For the 1st time in years, everything is in place for a major bullmarket phase to get underway in gold and silver. There are two big reasons for this. One is that the dollar is looking set to drop - and has started to already.

Almost everyone is searching for answers about what to do in the stock market. The two best sources are the market itself; and the second source will surprise many, but it is you! No one has a greater vested interest in your financial interests than you when it is...
