Gold Editorials & Commentary

Not all is bad in the metals sector. On the periodic table there are three metals in a column that I will focus on as I believe they will continue to outperform. Platinum, Palladium and Nickel are outperforming the S&P500 by a wide margin in 2014.

Briefly: In our opinion speculative short positions (half) in gold, silver, and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective.

Today is expiry day for gold options. I’ve suggested that gold is unlikely to begin a trending move until options on the June COMEX contract expire.

Years ago, 16 to be exact I was reading a book by John Murphy (the god father of technical analysis). And I read something that has always stuck in my mind. He said that the price of bonds typically lead trend reversals in the stock market.

It was all over the news last week, both mainstream and gold sites. Barclays was caught manipulating the gold price. They were fined £26M, and forced to pay a client who was damaged by their action. The trader who worked for Barclays, Daniel Plunkett, was also fined...

Two weeks ago I first called for patience regarding Gold’s expected Investor Cycle (Investor Cycles run 24 weeks) decline. Since then, Gold has continued to chop sideways in a largely lifeless and apathetic manner. The few price spikes we've seen have typically...

Investors believe they have found all the right reasons to stick with their select stocks as the markets continue to move higher, possibly climbing to even inane levels. Are their decisions based on REAL facts or simply subjective greedy and emotional reasons to...

By holding above an important support level, SPX has encouraged some buying to take place. On Friday, it challenged the previous all-time high of 1892 and, judging by the action of the futures over the week-end, it should trade beyond when we open on Tuesday...

Persons micro managing the precious metals are fixating on the Symmetrical Triangle (bearish continuation) and a coming ‘Death Cross’ of the MA 50 below the MA 200. The symmetry has been apparent for about three weeks and the Death Cross is hype put forth by those...

Elections across Europe and Great Britain this past week have shown serious dissatisfaction with the status quo. The monetary inflation on the part of the European Central Bank has benefited the elite bureaucracy in Brussels at the expense of the average citizen,...

This information cannot be found on a daily, weekly, or even a monthly chart. Old man Fibonacci with the aid of the French Curve has told us that he will teach us how to count waves. He will tell us when they top and when they bottom. A long time ago he whispered in...

Irrational Delusion…Euphoric Aspirations of Wealth…Pollyannaish Myopia, Insatiable Greed and Unbridled Exuberance are terms that apply to describe investment sentiment toward US stocks today. This perverted sentiment was pervasive during the Roaring 20s – just...

Not much going on in the precious metals last week as they remain trapped within a tightening range for gold and silver but we did see an attempt to break gold which saw buyers emerge and push it back up, which is a very good sign. I talk to subscribers about my...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012. Short term – on mixed signals. Gold sector cycle – down as of 3/21, ending the up cycle since 12/27. COT data is not supportive for higher prices overall.

It certainly started out as central bank manipulation, doing everything possible to cover their theft and resulting deficiency of replaceable ph

Precious Metals bull market continues and is moving step by step closer to the final parabolic phase (could start in summer 2014 & last for 2-3 years or even longer).

Last week, our theme was the Fed’s failure to generate a “recovery” through six years of historically easy monetary policy. In “2.6% – ‘Nuff Said” and “The Most Damning Proof Yet of Fed Failure,” we demonstrated how the entire world is rapidly becoming wise to the...

Many people would consider a drop in the S&P 500 to the 1550-1600 area to be a bad thing. But if the bull is real, and if a secular bull market truly has been created out of manipulation of the T bond market (QE’s bond buying and ZIRP’s 0% rates) then a...

Briefly: In our opinion speculative short positions (half) in gold, silver, and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective. The history repeats itself and we have just seen another example confirming this statement. Gold once again moved higher...

The lofty US stock markets have stalled out, looking more and more top-heavy with each passing day. This is spawning growing unease among prudent investors, who sense the long-overdue major selloff is nearing. Many are seeking shelter in sectors they hope will...

In this week's release of the minutes from its April 29-30 meeting, Federal Reserve policymakers made clear that they see little chance of inflation moving past their 2% target for years to come. In order to make such a bold statement, Fed economists not only had to...

In one of the biggest deals of the century, China and Russia have signed a $400 billion natural gas (NG) deal that will deliver roughly 38 billion cubic meters of NG to China over the next 30 years. The deal also includes a $10 billion aviation deal and a $2.6...

While investors in the precious metals sector had to endure a tough bear market in the past couple of years, there is a glimmer of golden light at the end of this dark tunnel. The fundamentals for gold ownership have not changed and remain as strong as ever, and...

First I want to acknowledge how frustrating the markets have been over the last several months for most of you. There has been no clear cut trend in which one can just take a position and not get caught up in the chopping action the markets have been giving us.

We are very rapidly approaching a point in time where the citizens of the US and the inhabitants of the free world will be faced with the true realit

There is a belief that central bank gold in the custody of the world’s leading central banks such as the Fed, the Bank of England and the Banque de France has been leased out to the market. Central Banks have confirmed this, but it remains a source of contention....

Gold continues to trade sideways. The next trending move may be decided by an important economic report. Janet Yellen is scheduled to speak at Yankee Stadium tomorrow morning, and the FOMC minutes will be released a few hours later.

Europe is abuzz with Capital in the Twenty-First Century by French economist Thomas Piketty, released in Europe in March of this year and now a best-seller. It has since crossed the Atlantic and is already the number-one best-seller for booksmith Amazon. It has been...

Gold did NOT blow-off into a bubble high in 2011, all the drivers for continued higher gold prices are still valid, demand is huge, supply will be restricted when the western central banks run out of gold or choose to terminate “leasing” into the market, and...
