The Bull Market in Gold and Silver Prevails / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Bob_Chapman
We have been in and around the gold markets for 53 years and conditions have certainly changed, driven mainly by market manipulation of all markets as a result of the Executive Order, which created the “President’s Working Group on Financial Markets.” Those who doubt that are either on the government payroll one way or the other, or you are just too dumb to understand what is really going on. In spite of these machinations and ignorant naysayers the bull markets in gold and silver are still alive and well.

Gold Swerves to Avoid the Death Cross / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Bob_Kirtley
Despite the turmoil in the world gold prices appear to be range bound between $1800.00/oz and $1550.00/oz. Many are predicting a rapid move north given that the money printing machines are working overtime, debasing all currencies with the eventual outcome being the appearance of the inflation monster. Some are even looking for a black swan event to provide the ignition required to set the precious markets on fire.

Have Gold, Silver Entered a Bear Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
For nearly the last five years, we have seen events that were the first of their kind in modern history, from the credit crunch to the East emerging at the expense of the developed world. The oil price has risen to $145, fallen to $35 and then steadily moved up to the current $108. We have seen sovereign debt levels rise to the point where, if they were individual's loans, the individual would have been bankrupted long ago. We have seen governments all over the world try to stimulate their economies to resurrect the spending powers of their embattled consumers. We have seen the developed world inundated with freshly printed money from central banks as deflation hit asset values reducing the velocity and the volume on money.

How to Trade Gold with ETFs and Options / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
With few exceptions, most leading financial gurus agree that every portfolio should include some physical gold.
But while the yellow metal itself is great as a long-term hedge against turmoil and inflation, it's a lousy trading vehicle.

Iran Says "Gold Is Money" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Casey_Research
Louis James, Casey Research writes: Economic crises signal that the current system isn't working as expected and needs improvement. When it comes to monetary systems, questioning their fundamentals can lead to doubts about whether the preferred medium of exchange will continue to be preferred for long. The large-scale whirlwind of economic trouble around the globe has pushed some to rethink the role of gold in the economy – and to actually move toward bringing it back.

Massive Silver Price Spike Imminent / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold and silver are very close to entering the mania phase of this bull market. In order for gold and silver to go into the mania phase, value has to be diverted from somewhere, and that “somewhere” is most likely stocks. Since 2000, there has been a correction in stock values, in real terms; however, nominally, stocks are still significantly high (close to its all-time highs).

Good As Gold! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: UnpuncturedCycle
I want to talk about gold today. Two weeks ago when spot gold was around 1,670.00 I wrote a piece entitled “When To Be Greedy” telling investors to buy. Since then we’ve survived a number of attempts to push the price lower and it is trading at 1,660.00 as I type. In short not much has happened and patience is running thin. In the meantime the dollar tried to rally and failed, the bond suffered a significant break down causing a real spike in interest rates and the Dow broke through significant resistance at 13,323.

Dow vs. Gold vs. Silver since 2008 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Paul_Mladjenovic
We can read all sorts of opinions about what you should do with your money and we hear the scuttlebutt from every pundit out there (including myself!) but at the end of the day, it is about what has done well and what hasn't done well.

Silver Goes Green / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Eric_McWhinnie
Although gold receives most of the attention in the precious metals space, silver is an amazing metal itself. In addition to being a store of wealth, silver is used in everything from automobiles to alternative energy needs. Almost all electronics are configured with silver. However, the smelting process, which involves extracting silver from ores by burning off unwanted minerals and elements such as lead, can raise pollution concerns. This is an obstacle that Royal Silver Company is tackling at the source. Now, even the most environmentally conscious investor lacks a reason to not invest in silver.

Europe's QE3 Will Boost Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Gold is pulling back to long term support and is able to be purchased at a discount. Investors may be seeking riskier assets due to fears of inflation and higher interest rates. Right now industrial metals such as copper/ nickel, oil and blue chips are outperforming due to their value of being hedges against inflation and represent the riskier assets.

By: Eric_McWhinnie

Another Healthy Correction for Gold and Silver Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jason_Hamlin
I have received several emails this week asking my thoughts on the current price action in precious metals. Some subscribers are asking how low gold and silver might go in the short term and my honest response is “I have no idea.” Anyone that claims they can predict the short-term price movements in a market as manipulated as this one is blowing hot air. The banks can utilize leveraged paper contracts to take gold down to $1,200 and silver to $20 if they want to, in the short term.

Wanted! Bearish Gold Bulls / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Adrian_Ash
Gold's bull run is exhausted, apparently. Yet it's due only a shower, not a bath...
SO GOLD BULLS are turning bearish. But not really.
"A number of things which would have kept people with an eye on the upside for gold prices have now been neutralized," says RBS's Nick Moore, who cut the state-owned UK bank's 2012 targets for precious metals other than gold in January.

Gold Price Rollercoaster Likely to Go Up / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The roller coaster metaphor we used two weeks ago after the $90 flash crash in the price of gold seems appropriate this week as well. It must be tough out there for precious metals investors. Wednesday gold futures tumbled again. April-delivery gold fell $51.30, or three per cent, to settle at $1,642.90 an ounce, the lowest gold settlement price in more than eight weeks. The dollar strengthened and traders reacted to the U.S. Federal Reserve’s rate decision and policy statement in the previous session, which buried any hopes for now of more monetary easing in the short term. Investors have been hoping that the Fed would take action again to spur the economy.

By: Ben_Traynor
THE SPOT MARKET gold price dropped to $1641 an ounce shortly after US market open – a 4.4% fall on the week – as stocks and commodities were broadly flat, with stock markets looking set for a weekly gain by Friday lunchtime in London.
On the currency markets, the Pound and Euro both rallied against the Dollar following the release of the latest US inflation data, while over in India the government announced it is to double its duty on gold imports as a percentage of the gold price.
