Gold Editorials & Commentary

Every week, our investment team reviews a variety of sources to formulate a summary of the top events in the gold, resources, and emerging markets. The results are categorized in terms of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. We believe this SWOT model...

In order for our current level of debt-fueled prosperity to continue, the rest of the world must continue to use our dollars to trade with one another and must continue to buy our debt at ridiculously low interest rates. Of course the number one foreign nation that...

My monthly graph appears to show a continued move up unless those with the playbook make a move to beat the little bull in the head knocking him cold. How long it will last is reliant on their manipulation and the fact that the paper and physical markets are tied...

A lot of investors are going to miss out on the huge bullmarket advance in the Precious Metals sector that is just starting as this is written, because they are frightened of the impact of the broad market on the sector, but as we will see, the sector itself is...

In this Weekend Report would like to show you some very long term charts for some of the precious metals stocks that shows us where we’re at in the big picture. For me it’s important to know where a stock has been so I can have and idea if it’s close to a previous...

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

Even if you are on the right track you can get run over by a train if you are not moving. Inaction can sometimes kill you. Most of the time you just don’t have the luxury of a crystal ball. Don’t wait until you have all the facts because you never will have them...

Precision timing for all time frames through a multi-dimensional approach to technical analysis: Cycles - Breadth - P&F and Fibonacci price projections and occasional Elliott Wave analysis

The title of the article is a bit deceiving because since we use the word “bubble” it suggests that gold’s price is in a bubble and is apt to burst in the future – which we currently do not think is the case. In fact the only reason why we chose this title is...

The demand and supply situation of gold bullion is clearly going in favor of the bulls, and I continue to believe the precious metal is presenting investors with a buying opportunity of a lifetime. I believe that if I buy now, I will profit later.

No doubt about it; 2013 was as hard for precious metals and their miners as it was rewarding for investments in the general stock market. The full truth of this can be seen below in the table of Dow Jones Total Market Groups (DJTMG) where I’ve compared these...

A good week for markets as they consolidate where they should and they’re just catching their breath before the next burst higher.

At long last, “tapering” is the beginning of the end of the Fed’s loose monetary policy. Already emerging markets have collapsed and interest rates have risen. Bubbles are deflating leaving behind record debt levels. Gold and gold stocks have been the best...

Fundamentals for gold and silver have become the incense of reality for Westerners. The primary focus is on how many tonnes of gold China has been importing for the past many years, the depletion of available stocks from the central bankers straw men, aka the LMBA...

Long term – on major sell signal since Mar 2012. Short term – on buy signals. Gold sector cycle – up as of 12/27.

Current investing model favors equities and both the growth and energy sector are on major buy signals. However, there has not been a multi week correction in the major indexes since Nov 2012, most likely due to the four year cycle phenomenon and influence....

Gold has moved to the front burner. It’s risen nearly 11% from its December low to a 3+ month high. So 2014 is off to a good start.

Trading position (short-term): In our opinion no positions are justified from the risk/reward perspective. On Thursday, crude oil moved lower as the U.S. dollar strengthened after solid U.S. economic data and stocks of distillates fell less-than-expected. Despite...

Gold stocks have been on fire this year, blasting higher to 2014’s pole position of best-performing sector. And this powerful rally’s internals are looking as good as its headline gains. The recent months’ gold-stock buying has been on big volume, with large...

Chart Analysis Silver, Double Bottom, Metals Sector & Gold Stocks via videos

Gold has so far enjoyed a terrific start to the New Year, most recently closing at its highest level late October 2013. It has even succeeded in closing above its psychologically significant 200-day moving average for the first time in over a year.

The wall of fiat money created over the last five years is staggering, offset only by the stasis that pervades its exchange. Money velocity is the key variable that will signal the character of confidence and the next wave of inflation.

When US money supply measured by M2 stood at $11 trillion in December 2013, I calculate that total broad money of the next largest 50 countries ranked by GDP amounted to the equivalent of a further US$67 trillion at current exchange rates. And that's only on-balance...

According to the latest study by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) the unregulated $72 Trillion Global Shadow Banking System is now larger than the global regulated banking system. How could an unregulated and opaque industry, which is larger than the entire world...

As will be demonstrated herein, using both historical and present-day events, key aspects of current deflationary theory can be characterized as the combination of 1) an absurdity; 2) a misunderstanding; and 3) an oversimplification; all working together to create 4...

The history of gold is an interesting one. Its use as a type of currency dates back to the fifth century B.C. Coins uncovered in Turkey from that period contained close to 100% gold alloy. Since the value of a coin was based solely on the amount of metal it...

To Westerners, China has always been a mystery. The huge population of very smart, hard-working people. The succession of unfamiliar, authoritarian governments. The sense that they're playing the long game while we're obsessed with quarterly reports - and that they'...

Where Indian companies barely feature, Chinese gold players are making a move... A BUSY OLD TIME in the bullion market for "unnamed sources". People close to the matter apparently told the Wall Street Journal that India may cut its 10% gold import duty to 8% or 6%...

In short: In our opinion, no positions are currently justified from the risk/reward perspective. Not much happened in gold and mining stocks this week, but silver moved higher. We sometimes saw this type of divergence right at the local tops, but it was not an...
