Gold Could Easily Double Amidst Hyperinflation Collapse / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Nick_Barisheff
Asset manager Nick Barisheff says, “There’s never been a fiat currency in history that didn’t end in hyperinflation and complete collapse.” Barisheff thinks that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s most recent call to have an “unlimited debt ceiling” for the U.S. was “just telling the truth.” That’s essentially what we have now with “open-ended” money printing by the Fed. Barisheff adds, “All it’s doing is postponing a problem . . . it makes it bigger and eventually it blows up.” Forget about remedies for the economy, it’s too late.

Gold and Silver Trend Prognosis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
We’ve been surprised at the recent action in the precious metals complex. During the recent correction the shares were showing quite a bit more strength than the metals. Then the shares took a dive below support yet the metals maintained their recent lows! How do we interpret this wild volatility in the relationship between the shares and the metals? Quite often we look at daily and weekly charts. Now is the time to take a look at the monthly charts which can help us get a better read on the larger trends at hand.

Gold Seasonal Trades Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Submissions
Dimitri Speck writes: Is there such a thing as a gold season? Slogans like "Sell in May and go away" are well-known from the equity markets, and often seasonal patterns such as growing stock prices in the winter months or the year-end rally, are subject to statistical studies. Is there also a seasonal behavior in gold?

Gold Bullion Flowing From West to East / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Earlier this month Eric Sprott circulated a paper, co-authored by him, which concluded that Western central banks have considerably less physical gold than they claim. It shows that since the year 2000 there has been a net increase in identifiable annual demand of 2,268 tonnes, and concludes that some supply, apart from mine output from the “free” world, must come from Western central banks – because there can be no other source.

Gold And Silver – Market Says Wait / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Michael_Noonan
There is a reason why it has not been easy to trade gold or silver, of late. One area where information is least reliable is in the middle of a trading range. That is precisely where the price of gold is currently, on the larger monthly time frame. However, while waiting idly until clarity re-enters the picture, we can do some stage-setting in preparation for what is to come, in either direction.

Negative Real Interest Rates Continue To Drive The Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: GoldSilverWorlds
People tend to focus on the daily “noise” and often forget the long term view. The first point that Ronald Stoeferle made during our discussion, was that the major topics of his first report (from five years ago) are still relevant. In fact, he doesn’t see any fundamental change since then. The only change he noticed is that the figures became bigger, in the first place the debt levels and the amounts of the rescue packages.

Gold and Silver Bullish Technicals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Zeal_LLC
With the US stock markets falling sharply since the elections, shell-shocked investors are scrambling for the exits. And this mass exodus is certainly rational in light of 2013’s record tax hikes looming for American investors. But with interest rates near record lows, cash yields nothing and bonds are hyper-risky. So a fantastic alternative for capital is the precious metals, which are very cheap technically.

Gold and Silver: Accumulation and Liquidity / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
As history has shown again and again, hard currencies like gold and silver are perhaps the only truly safe long term investments.
Part of the safety of these assets arises from the fact that they are traditionally accumulated and hoarded by individuals, especially in financially challenging times and periods of high inflation. Even more importantly, precious metals like gold and silver are liquid assets that can be readily sold for currency or exchanged in a barter situation.

U.S. Fiscal Cliff, Asian Currency Wars, Buoys the Gold market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Gary_Dorsch
Texas Republican Ron Paul’s maverick crusade to “audit the Fed”, and to rein-in the “fourth branch” of the US-government, suffered a major blow in the wake of the November 6th elections that saw President Barack Obama prevailing over his Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Adding insult to injury, the Republican Party not only failed to secure a majority in the Senate, but it lost 2-seats. Mr Paul is the author of a bill to audit the clandestine activities of the Fed that passed the House by a 327-98 vote on July 25th, exceeding the two-thirds majority needed. Astoundingly, 89 Democrats joined 238 Republicans to approve it.
