The Gold Bull Market – Two out of Three Ain’t Bad / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
The gold bull market, which started from a low of $255 an ounce in early 2001, looks as strong as ever after hitting a new high price of $1,420 an ounce in late December last. In the initial years, gold’s rise had more to do with it being a cheap asset following a 20-year bear market through the 1980s and 1990s. More lately, its strength reflects deep-seated investor concerns regarding ongoing global monetary instability which has been created by persistent global trade imbalances, quantitative easing and the intervention by central banks to weaken their own currencies, of which Japan is the latest example.

Consolidation in Precious Metals – Range-bound Gold-Silver Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
Having dwelt a lot on the topic of the gold:silver ratio from a technical and quantitative standpoint in our earlier essays, it is about time we examined the ratio fundamentally. In the strictest sense of mean reversion, the ratio between gold and silver should follow a straight line over time. However, as observed in the previous article, the ratio not only has a wide range but also fluctuates between extremes. This means that the prices of gold and silver are perceived differently in different market conditions and a concept of mean reversion is not enough to interpret the gold:silver ratio.

How to Play the Current Silver, Gold and Dollar Reversal / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

Why Rising Interest Rates are Super-Bullish for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
Heading into 2011, the consensus outlook on precious metals is slightly positive but the consensus believes that higher interest rates will ultimately support the US currency and in turn engender a move out of Gold. The Gold naysayers are using “rising rates” as a way to dismiss Gold. Let me explain why this belief is not only false but utterly dangerous.

The New Gold Rush / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
As confidence in global currencies wanes, the world's appetite for gold will increase.
As we embark on 2011, gold continues to climb and investors are questioning its future price direction. Is gold in a bubble? Have the price gains of the last decade-which beat out stocks, bonds and several other favored asset classes- peaked? Did today's investors miss the opportunity to buy?

Triple Peak Pressuring Gold GLD ETF / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
The big picture that is evolving in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) shows that yesterday's high at 139.00 represented the third failed attempt to hurdle and sustain above 139.00 during the past eight weeks. Today's sharp gap-down open and downside follow-through (so far) leaves behind a triple peak that is putting increasing pressure on the Nov-Jan support line, which cuts across the price axis today at 134.75.

Numismatics Are Fool's Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
Last month, I addressed the hype around gold confiscation, and debunked the myth that collectible or numismatic coins would offer effective protection.

While this may be a more rational line of thinking than the typical confiscation con, it is bad advice for investors hoping to protect their assets in an economic slump.
