Gold Editorials & Commentary

Tonight I would like to update you on some precious metals charts we’ve been following very closely to shed some light on where we’re at and where we may be heading. When investing in the markets we need to have a game plan to follow so that we know when the game...

Did you know? Today, companies no longer utilize G.A.A.P. accounting principles (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) when writing their Annual Reports concerning their company’s income and assets!

Somebody big is sitting on the gold price and a relief rally when the Fed raises interest rates is ‘a distinct possibility’, Ross Norman, CEO of Sharps Pixley and London Bullion Market Association’s top forecaster of the past 15 years, told ArabianMoney today.

An insolvent Greece has defaulted. On June 30th, officials missed repayment of billions in lMF loans and declared a banking holiday. Predictably, many Greek citizens responded to the crisis and bought gold coins (as well as all sorts of survival goods). So did a lot...

China’s stock markets continued their decline overnight with the Shanghai SE Composite falling another 4.64% and down of 32% since June 12. Markets have begun seizing up as sellers overwhelm the system.

“Gold is what will save you. Gold will protect you from financial calamity.” And on and on. As Greece burned, and as Puerto Rico runs into “issues,” we hear the same drivel from the same culprits week after week, month after month, and year after year. And, I...

Gold failed to rally above the 1174.00 area and it seems likely now that we are probably going to revisit the 1162.00 area again. It is still possible that we are going to drop back to the 1155.80 also.

The pressure on the US stock market continues to grow. Note my red annotations on this key S&P500 earnings chart. With QE gone, rate hikes on the horizon, wage pressures growing, and the business cycle peaking, it’s a “no brainer” that US corporate earnings are...

Consider this 25 year graph of the ratio of gold to S&P 500 Index. Unless you believe, AS I DON’T, that the Fed can levitate the S&P for many more years while squashing gold even further, this 25 year chart shows that gold is currently very low compared to...

Hyperinflation is commonly defined as rapidly rising prices which get out of control. For example, the Wikipedia entry begins, “In economics, hyperinflation occurs when a country experiences very high and usually accelerating rates of inflation, rapidly eroding the...

We are getting a test of the low from the big decline last Monday which is to be expected as many times it takes multiple tests before support really sticks. This is now the moment of truth as this low needs to hold support or a bigger decline can be expected.

“Wake up, people of the world and investors! Greece will come to your neighbourhood very soon, maybe not this year but next year or whenever…because the world is over-indebted and defaults will follow or they’ll have to create very high inflation rates”.

The final high to the Dow’s bull market was put in on the 20th May 2015 at 18351. This was outlined in client analysis the following day titled Dow Final High. For those following the continuous intraday charts, there was a clear bearish double top around 18350. It...

Early in the week gold and silver rose in tandem as Greece closed its banks and imposed capital controls. However, the bounce faced rising opposition as the week progressed towards the employment report out on Thursday, which equity bulls were talking up as the...

The Greek people have voted overwhelmingly against using austerity as a tool to somehow normalise their economy in a world where normality no longer applies, on any level, to economic policy.

The past four years or so have been extremely frustrating for investors like me who have structured their portfolios around the belief that the current experiments in central bank stimulus, the anti-business drift in Washington, and America's mediocre economy and...

Two weeks ago I expected only a minor setback in Gold. That was obviously wrong. Gold came all the way down to US$1,155.80 during last Thursday. But at least we saw a bounce from the lows which left a bull-hammer on the chart. With the Greeks clearly rejecting the...

We cannot remember having seen so many markets at critical points simultaneously. It is truly astonishing. Scary movie or turning points? We do not know for sure, but let’s review the strategic assets in order to get an understanding of the likely scenarios going...

While the short-term will be affected by today’s Greek referendum, unless SPX and other indices show some real strength if they continue to rally, more downward pressure appears to be in the cards and could last until October.

Mr. Bear may currently be in hiding, but he can scarcely contain himself. The media is currently focused on the financial garbage from Greece and Puerto Rico stinking up investment portfolios, but truth be told the entire global bond market is putrid.

Gold has not even been able to muster a rally on the Greek crisis, which is a bad sign, especially as the dollar looks like it is preparing to break out upside from a large consolidation pattern. On its 8-year chart we can see that gold is still in the large down-...

The artificial growth of the U.S. economy this year was made possible by the greatest inventory build-up in history, with many analysts even doubting the figures that cite growth in the first place. I am far from the first to have discussed these points.

Are we having fun yet? There is quite a bit of fun here State Side today as we celebrate our having completed 239 years of Independence, (to the chagrin of those amongst our nation's riffraff who try to wrest it away from us). However for Gold, rather than having...

Sorry to bear negative news on the 239th birthday of the United States of America, but there is a fast approaching economic collapse and stock market crash that will affect the entire world. We need to be prepared. Now.

Often times I like to write about an event or someone else's article because of the importance to the overall picture. Today I will do something a little different. Below is an e-mail I received last Thursday from a friend. I have the utmost respect for his...

Gold sector is on major sell signal. Cycle is down. Traders should be in cash or short. Silver is on a long term sell signal and investors should be in cash or short. COT data reveals that speculation is close to levels of previous bottoms.

In the turbulent times like the ones we might be about to witness, the attention of precious metals investors tends to be focused on metals themselves, in particular gold and silver. Greece seems to be in a pretty precarious position, with a referendum coming in on...

Gold & Silver Target, T-Bonds & Dow, GDX & GDXJ, Gold & Silver Volume analysis via videos.

The US Federal Reserve has been universally lauded for the apparent success of its extreme monetary policy of recent years. With key world stock markets near record highs, traders universally love the Fed’s zero-interest-rate and quantitative-easing campaigns. But...

Gold and silver had a poor week, with no relief from drifting prices after the end of the second quarter. The gold price opened on Monday morning in the Far East at $1,187 and fell to a low point at $1,158 yesterday. Silver mirrored gold's move falling from $16.05...
