One interpretation is that we are living in the best of all possible worlds. Another is that we are being led to financial slaughter.

In our opinion speculative short positions (full) in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective. We are keeping the stop-loss levels at their current levels, which means that we are effectively keeping some gains locked and at the...

From a seasonal perspective, gold tends to be a bit weak from late February until the end of the first or second week in March. I see nothing out of the ordinary with gold’s current price action.

Gold prices pared earlier gains on Monday after hitting the highest in almost two weeks as gains for equities cut demand for safe haven assets. In a surprise move, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) lowered the benchmark one-year loan rate by 0.25% to 5.35%. The one-...

We should now be in a very powerful wave ^iii^ rally that has the possibility of gold running to above the $1400 level. We are very encouraged by the wave structure shown on the attached 30 Min intraday chart. As you can see, this market is subdividing with rallies...

Is there anything Apple can’t do? First it revolutionized the personal computing business. Then, with the launch of the iPod in 2001, it forced the music industry to change its tune. Against initial market reservations, the company succeeded at making Star Trek-like...

Going into 2015 the economic outlook held by the U.S. investment establishment could not have been much more positive, and more unified. Pundits saw all the variables aligning to create the best of all investment worlds, a virtual "no-brainer" of optimism. Many...

It just wasn't our February, was it? No. And to think: after all that end-of-January flag-waving to support the tradition of love's favouring Gold in the month of February, only to see their relationship again go off the boil -- indeed to the worst degree this...

Every now and then I’ll do a post on “What If ” something is changing or not following along with what the original Chartology was suggesting. I have to keep an unbiased opinion and follow what the charts are saying. Sometimes it’s easier said than done. I know many...

Gold rebounded from the lowest level in seven weeks following Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s comments signaling that an interest rate increase isn’t imminent. Analysts are now coalescing around September for an initial rate hike. Gold climbed to the highest in...

The model is in a "soft" sell mode. A move above US$1,313 would probably signal the end of the bear market in gold. Seasonality remains weak until June. CoT-Data suggests that Gold needs more corrective price action before a contrarian buy signal will flash.

We continue to get mixed signals from the precious metals sector. A few of the mining stocks are looking bullish while the mining indexes remain fairly bearish. Gold looks somewhat bullish in the daily timeframe but the weekly chart is bearish. These mixed signals...

The latest figures for net gold exports from Hong Kong into China confirm the latter nation’s strong demand in the run up to the Chinese New Year holiday. The figure for January was 76 tonnes, up from 71 tonnes in December, but it should be realised that this Hong...
