Gold Editorials & Commentary

It seems as if all the major Wall Street institutions are bearish on gold, even after a 2+ year bear market and a major pullback. At first glance you might be a little discouraged by reading major bank after major bank release a lower forecast on the price of gold...

One could only hope that after nine, nauseating months of lies and half-truths from the U.S. Federal Reserve and mainstream media on so-called “tapering” that we would be spared any more of this nonsense in 2014. Sadly, since the mainstream propaganda machine found...

It’s always interesting to go back a month prior to a major market event, to see what analysts or news letter writers predicted about what direction a specific market would go. Late November and December was particularly interesting due to the incredible bearish...

On the supply side, we note that newly mined gold supply in 2013 was around 2,800 tonnes [final figures yet to be published] and scrap gold was around 1,400 tonnes, before U.S. sales [which were around 1,200 tonnes in 2013]. That totaled 5,400 tonnes.

There is a lot we could discuss in this Weekend Report from the price action in the US stock markets to the world stock markets. As we are almost fully invested in the precious metals complex, and especially the juniors at this time, I think we need to put aside all...

Gold’s technical picture has improved since the last bullish update just over a month ago, but it has still not broken out the intermediate downtrend that started back last August, which we can see drawn on the 8-month chart shown below.

Two weeks ago we wrote that the NYSE Cumulative Advance Decline Line was warning that a significant decline in stocks was coming. Well, stocks plunged this week, especially Thursday and Friday.

Someone once said “It is tough to make predictions, especially about the future”.  Regardless, it is tough to make predictions in a Fiat Currency World where you are betting against the Central Banks, led by the Federal Reserve Bank, operating in a smoke &...

Last month I warned about the bubble in the stock market, and what was going to happen when it popped. Make no mistake the chart of the S&P is the most dangerous chart in the world. When this parabolic structure collapses, it is going to bring down the global...

We are at the doorstep of a major USTreasury Bond breakdown. The TNX (10-year bond yield) is at the 3.0% doorstep, as 3.5% looms very likely in the coming months. A horrible threat of a 3.7% target is presented in the chart. A rising trend is seen in many...

A bad week for markets as Thursday and Friday saw heavy, heavy selling and we have now broken a very bearish pattern in the index charts which, I’ve talked about here for the past week or so We could have a ways to go in this general correction but we are due...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012. Short term – on buy signals. Gold sector cycle – up as of 12/27. COT data continues to be favorable for a bear market rally.

The Fed surprised markets with its December decision that the economy is strong enough to stand on its own with less stimulus. The majority of economists and analysts expected it to wait until March for more evidence to accumulate.

In short: Opening a speculative short position (half of the regular position) in gold, silver and mining stocks might be a good idea right now.

Gold is bottoming, showing incredible resilience over the past 7 months. After suffering an epic plunge in last year’s second quarter, gold has held its ground ever since. This is despite still facing the same howling headwinds that forced that extraordinary...

By December, the most recent month for which statistics are available, the US dollar Fiat Money Quantity (FMQ) had grown to $12.48 trillion. This is $5.05 trillion more than if it had grown in line with the established average monthly growth rate from 1960 to the...

At the start of the year we asserted that the mining equities could lead the metals higher. Since then, the shares have roared higher while the metals have remained subdued. Gold has gained a bit but Silver has really struggled. Why are the stocks performing so well...

By now, most observers have heard of precious metals price manipulation. As the issue creeps into the mainstream, more and more investors will come to understand it - along with its vast implications.

For the first time since the end of World War II, the total US federal debt now equals 100% of the size the US economy. But while that is obviously a situation of great concern, it may not be the worst of the danger.

“The inability to predict outliers implies the inability to predict the course of history. . .But we act as though we are able to predict historical events, or, even worse, as if we are able to change the course of history. We produce thirty-year projections of...

In my last post I noted that gold could give a major buy signal in the next 2-3 weeks. Let me stress again that patience is required right here. Gold has to confirm the intermediate rally first. That means it needs to break above $1268 and make a higher high.

Per the sage Chinese saying, “A picture is worth a 1,000 words.” Consequently, the supporting arguments for my title forecast “Gold Price Could Reach $3200 And Silver $120,” will be in visual format via 20 charts.

Many analysts believe that the precious metal is DEAD due to its having fallen from a record high of $1900 per ounce to roughly $1200 per ounce today (a 36% drop).

Most who have graded Prof. Ben Bernanke’s twelve years at the Federal Reserve have issued marks which range from A to a gentleman’s C. I think those marks are much too generous. Indeed, I think a failing mark would be more appropriate.

Let’s cut to the chase. Gold and silver are about to embark on a wonderful spree of new highs. I have never had a crystal ball, and do not like to irrationally speculate on the market unless there are fundamental reasons to support a change in price one way or...

Most junior gold and silver stocks have taken a horrific beating over the past few years, even while gold prices have remained relatively elevated. Bank analysts suggest that high mine costs are largely to blame for this sell-off. Recently, naked shorting seems to...

Professor Tom Fischer has written three papers about gold backwardation and arbitrage. Across these three papers, he makes a case against the ideas of Professor Antal Fekete. I write this response solely on my own behalf.
