Gold Editorials & Commentary

The precious metals sector has been in a pullback for the last three months. Even though prices have not marked new lows in the last eight weeks, the trend-less sideways consolidation has certainly created a lot of stress, pain and question marks especially amongst...

First up, and a few pages below, is the Bear’s Eye View for the Dow Jones going back to January 1982.  As I see it, our current bull market began in August 1982 when the Dow Jones began an advance that took it above, and kept it above 1000 to this day.  Now in...

What? Apparently there was a major StateSide election just nine trading days ago? Are we sure about this? Did someone tell the world's most important markets? If one did not know, surely one would not think so. To wit the primary BEGOS Markets. Here we go:

I don’t know about you, but if you want my unfiltered opinion of the Year of our Lord 2020, I would rank it in at least the bottom 2% in many respects but only in terms of a sixty-seven year sample size – and it has nothing at all to do with markets or money.

Even scarier than Elizabeth Warren...! WANT to hear something really scary? asks Frank Holmes at US Global Investors, glancing back at Halloween 2020. Inflation, the scourge of the modern economy, may be running much faster than we're led to believe. I'll use...

Our proprietary cycle indicator is up. Gold sector remains on long-term buy at the end of October. GLD is on short-term sell signal. 

The gold market entered a period of increased volatility during the third quarter, usually a positive indicator for the metal. A growing number of investors and analysts recommended the accumulation of gold as it began to move out of the shadows and into the...

Precious metals markets got off to a rocky start this week as Wall Street celebrated promising developments on the vaccine front. On Monday, stocks surged while gold and silver sold off hard. That selling didn’t bring downside follow through, however. The metals...

My research team and I went off on a wild tangent trying to identify how the markets could react to the recent spike in price activity on Monday, November 9, 2020.  This is the day that Pfizer announced a 90% effective rate with its new COVID-19 vaccine, causing the...

Despite the pervasive and omnipresent manipulation of the gold price implemented in the paper derivatives gold market – which in no way reflects the true supply/demand characteristics of the underlying market for physical gold and silver – gold has been the best...

The major gold miners’ stocks have been grinding lower on balance for a few months now in a healthy correction. This necessary rebalancing is achieving its mission of dampening enthusiasm, paving the way for this contrarian sector’s next bull upleg. Rebounding from...

Here are today's videos and charts. The videos are viewable on mobile phones as well as computers. 

“Is it all over?” That’s what many investors ask, thinking that they’ve seen this movie before, in early 2016 and early 2017, and then again in early 2018. Cynics gleefully assert the same thing. Since gold stocks have traded sideways to down since the end of July,...

As the long-awaited “second wave” of the corona pandemic sweeps through Europe, another round of severe restrictions, travel bans and rules that prevent the proper function of international business and trade threatens to once again disrupt all kinds of sectors,...

This article looks at the theoretical and empirical evidence from previous fiat money collapses in order to impart the knowledge necessary for individuals to seek early protection from an annihilation of fiat currencies. It assesses the likely speed of the collapse...

Crowds, like sheep, are only as safe as the shepherds who guide them. If the shepherd is mad, so too is the crowd. Today, central bank shepherds are leading the vast majority of investors over a currency cliff. This is easy to predict, despite the fact that most...

Gold futures continued to drift lower yeterday, continuing the sharp decline that traders witnessed on Monday of this week. Although yesterday gold was able to recover slightly gaining $18 off of Monday sharp selloff, today traders took gold pricing back to erase...

"If Biden is sworn in, he'll shut the economy down this winter more than Trump would have. USD goes under the bus, stagflation is likely. They'll blame COVID-19, but for once, socialism might also get some of the blame for the trouble it causes..." said Lobo Tiggre...

Yesterday’s announcement that two companies have developed a vaccine that has now completed the stage III trials, and is 90% effective in killing the coronavirus. This was truly welcome news and responsible for the large gains in US equities and concurrently the...

The gold market has been stuck in a fairly narrow range for nearly two months, and time is quickly running out if the precious metal is going to see a new high above $2,000 an ounce by year-end.

Peter Krauth looks into what Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine efficacy announcement could mean for gold and silver. Believe it or not, the big deal for precious metals this week was not the U.S. election.

The world is heading full steam ahead towards the ENERGY CLIFF, and virtually no one seems to be prepared.  After watching the U.S. Presidential Election and the circus sideshow that followed on both Mainstream media outlets, I am quite surprised how much Americans...

Conspiracy buffs are probably wondering if Monday’s big vaccine announcement (that occurred just after the election of Joe Biden) was a coincidence. Would the outcome of the election have been different if the vaccine announcement was made a few days before the...

Following the conclusion of the U.S. presidential election and latest post-election euphoria, the price of gold sank by more than 4% today. Despite some storm clouds ahead in the form of vote recounts and court challenges by outgoing president Donald Trump, the...

The best performing precious metal for the week was palladium, up 12.64%, despite hedge funds cutting their positioning to a 10-week low. Gold had its best weekly gain since July as Joe Biden moves closer to winning the presidential election and on prospects for...
