Gold Editorials & Commentary

Events in the last week have certainly caused a stir. Just what precipitated the broad global selloff. Was it the unwind of the Yen Carry Trade, a week delayed?

I hear it all the time, and it's true. "The trouble with your gold and silver is that they pay no interest." (Of course silver went up 69% last year, and gold went up 28%, but admittedly it paid no interest.) No cash flow, in other words.

Since this gold bull market began six years ago, we have seen our shares of spectacular breakouts, and also a few breakdowns. Some of these breakdowns occur shortly after a breakout, which I label as "fakeouts".

This editorial "series" is intended to take a look at some of the fundamentals that might generate the price movements in this generational Precious Metals Bull Market, along with the charts and the technicals.

It has been a while since I have talked about ratio analysis and because of a few developments of late, I thought that this may be a good time to do so.

Gold has gone and done it - after first breaking out upside from its 3-arc Fan Correction in January, a major positive technical development celebrated in the article Gold powering up for major uptrend - SECTORWIDE BUY ALERT, last week it smashed through the ce

I have made a few assumptions to limit this article to a reasonable scope.

With Wednesday's data release that showed that the increase in "core" CPI in January was higher than expected, the price of gold soared by over $20 per ounce to just shy of $680 per ounce, a new nine-month high.

Numerous international events took place within the last month. The Economic Summit was held in Davos Switzerland. It convened a large collection of world renown economists, corporate chieftains, and some financial market kingpins.

There must be something wrong with free trade, because it's all the rage around D.C. Bush and all the D.C. Gang love free trade. It's as if it is the milk of life and human kindness have all been placed in one wonderful jug for us all to imbibe.

Some people thought I was mad posting a GOLD and SILVER BREAKOUT ALERT, what with the Commercials being so heavily short gold, and with yesterday's action I began to wonder myself, which is why it d

Back in late 1979, the lineups to buy Gold looked more like lineups of people waiting to buy Stanley Cup Hockey tickets at the then Famous Montreal Forum.

Gold is quietly on the verge of breaking out in all major currencys, after the all-out assault on the oil price left gold unscathed. Gold is the strongest performing among all the commodity items. Critical factors for the rise in the gold price are:

We have seen the breakout predicted in the last Gold Market update, although so far subsequent gains have been modest as gold continues to be restrained by the strong resistance level shown on the 1-year chart in the $655 - $680 zone.

The title of this article was designed to get you to click on it and open it, and now that you’re here, you should stick around because you are probably going to find this interesting.

Ah! That's the magic word now, isn't it? Everyone would love to be rich! Of course the term has taken on a totally different meaning than it had when I was a kid.

There is a manpower crisis in the form of a skilled worker shortage that is having an adverse impact on the mining industry.
