What Will Price Gold and Silver Tomorrow / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The gold and silver price has and will move in tandem with each other, with silver moving higher still when gold prices rise and falling further when gold prices fall. Despite different fundamentals behind the two and a different pattern of mining [silver is a by-product of base metal production usually] the two metals are reflecting their value as a means of saving value and wealth, their monetary value. This won't change as we see the economic currents behind the world's financial system continue to falter. After all, for several millennia, man has not trusted man's promises, but has referred to the precious metals to determine true value. So why should the last forty plus years change that, particularly when the 40-year + experiment with a paper financial system has shown so many structural faults.

Gold and Silver - When Inflation is Summoned by the Masses / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
As the democratic masses increasingly sense that their living standards are becoming threatened,they have been blindly authorizing their governments to do “whatever it takes” to arrest the impending economic collapse.
In fact, as the vocal voting public insists upon quick solutions to the economic crises, politicians are ready and waiting to analyze popular needs and desires in order to deliver the messages that the people so badly want hear.

Gold US Dollar Link in Question, Technical Setup / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The $1800 per ounce level continues to be a major technical resistance area for gold. After hovering near $1800 recently, gold moved sharply away from that level last week to close at $1735 an ounce.
Despite that, more fund managers and analysts continue to point to a bright long-term future for gold prices. John Hathaway of the Tocqueville Gold Fund says gold will reach new highs within a year. He based his forecast, like many others, on the fact that negative real interest rates look likely to persist as Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve continue to print money.

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 Mining Stocks are Approaching Bottom! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Darah_Bazargan
Large concentrated amounts of volume will appear during the intial stages of an uptrend, which is a telling sign of forthcoming strength. It is a direct result of INSTITUTIONS that accumulate massive long positions at the start of a major move. But as time 'takes a toll' on the maturation of the bullish advance, its trend grows weaker on diminishing amounts of volume even when the stock is making new price highs. The interpretation is that investors are losing interest, and a top is near.

Examining the Case For And Against Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Clif_Droke
Since being shunned by traders last year after a series of margin increases, gold has enjoyed a worthy comeback since turning around this summer. The yellow metal rallied from a yearly low of $1,540 to a recent high of nearly $1,800. All in all, not a bad performance in just over an eight week period.
Analysts and investors are divided as to what was the impetus behind the late summer rally for gold. Was it fear of a European-led global economic recession? A slowdown in China? An anticipation of loose central bank monetary policy? The reasons behind the rally are debatable but the gains gold has made since July aren't.

Gold Has Lost Its Glitter Again! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Sy_Harding
After experiencing a remarkable bull market run from $250 an ounce in 2001 to $1,900 an ounce last summer, gold has not had an easy time of it since.
Three times it plunged as much as 19%, and rallied back, only to run into resistance each time at $1,800. It is potentially doing so again.

Gold’s Final Leg Down in Progress / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Toby_Connor
In my last article I warned traders that markets, especially gold, were at risk of a profit-taking event. This was due to the fact that the dollar had found an intermediate bottom and begun a counter trend rally.
I think the second stage of that rally is probably beginning today. I'm looking for the dollar index to test the downward sloping 200 day moving average before rolling over and continuing the secular trend.
