Gold and Silver Investments and the Rise of False Contrarian Gurus / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The typical technical analysis based stock-slinging newsletter is written by a contrarian who denies market manipulation and often ridicules those who attempt to discuss it seriously and rationally.
Furthermore, the degree of denial and hostility faced by proponents of market manipulation theories is usually directly proportional to the amount of evidence actually underpinning the issue.

Silver Investment Opportunity Time is Slipping Away / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Everything has been distorted by the media. Humanity may no longer believe that the sun revolves around the earth, but some people still think that they can control nature.
Nevertheless, with all the truly breathtaking science that has resulted in great social progress and technological advancement, the mass distortions in perception caused by propaganda — including illegal, unethical and immoral media intervention — will resolve itself eventually.

Gold, True Safe Havens Needed as Fed Monetizes Uncle Sam / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Eric_McWhinnie
A financial safe haven is generally an instrument that is expected to hold or increase its value in the face of market turbulence. It is used by investors to reduce exposure to declines resulting from downturns in the market or economy. What is considered a safe haven can change depending on market conditions, but a few asset classes typically come to mind. In the current financial landscape, there is a growing need for true safe havens.

Why did Central Banks Stop Selling Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
In 2009 the signatories of the Central Bank gold Agreement effectively stopped selling gold. This was just after signing the third Central Bank Gold Agreement which lasts until September 26th 2014. Why?
In 1999, the first of such agreements was signed by the U.K. and was called the Washington Agreement. It received the tacit blessing of the U.S.A. and Japan. This was followed by the signing of the Central Bank Gold Agreement, which ran from 27th September 2004 to the 26th September 2009. Ostensibly to accommodate the I.M.F.'s sale of 403 tonnes of gold on their own books, a third Central Bank Gold Agreement was signed to run from the 27th September 2009 to the 26th September 2014. Apart from the up-to 7 tonnes year of gold sales by Germany's central bank for the minting of gold coins, there have been virtually no sales of gold from the original signatories of their gold. In fact the previously announced sales (going back to the turn of the century) have not been fulfilled completely, even now. Once the I.M.F. completed their sales of gold, the absence of the developed world's central banks from the sale side of gold spoke volumes! How?

Gold: The Hidden Dangers? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: MarketShadows
Courtesy of Dr. Paul Price : Extensive money printing (QE programs) have had many traders stocking up on Gold via ETFs, ETNs, physical coins & bars and through shares of precious metal mining companies. This urge to own hard assets in a soft money environment makes sense on an intuitive basis.

Investors Ditching Before the Fiscal Cliff / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Peter_Schiff
Turn on the TV and this is what you'll hear: The US budget is heading for a fiscal cliff. If a deal isn't reaching in Congress by the end of this year, a combination of automatic tax hikes and budget cuts will sink America into economic depression. There is no escape.

Gold Should Be Nearing A Major Bottom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: David_Banister
The recent rally in Gold took the metal from the 1620’s to roughly 1800 per ounce before the ensuing corrective action began. Back around October 20th we warned our readers about a likely “ wave 2” correction in Gold and we had several reasons for that warnings. One of the biggest concerns we had was that the sentiment surveys were running very hot at the time. The percentage of professional advisors polled that were bullish on GOLD was 88%, with 7% neutral and only 7% bearish. Elliott Wave Theory is the foundation of our work, though we are sure to mix in other clues and elements to “fact check” our reads. When you see sentiment readings that high, coupled with a $180 rally leading up to those readings, you can begin to look for clues of a top.

Is a Global Gold Supply Crunch Forming? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeff_Clark
A number of market analysts and gold-industry insiders are warning about a possible shortage of gold supply. Barrick CEO Jamie Sokalsky recently stated that since gold production is inelastic (i.e., insensitive to price changes) there will be a very limited increase in supply from gold producers, even during sharp increases in the gold price. Rick Rule, a billionaire and avid gold investor, pointed out that while we're seeing spectacular demand, a number of issues will make supply very tight in the future, especially among retailers.

Why Gold Will Be the Super Commodity / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: InvestmentContrarian
George Leong writes: I’m tired of reading and talking about the so-called “fiscal cliff,” but it could spell dire consequences for the economy if it is allowed to go through (and even if not). The reality is that America needs to stop printing money with no regard for the massive national debt load. Allowing the debt to continue to rise will punish the country’s future generations.

What Happens to Gold If the U.S. Dollar Collapses? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Today’s essay is the first one in our two-part commentary on U.S. debt and the dollar collapse.
On numerous occasions we have gone back in our commentaries to the year 1971 and U.S. President Richard Nixon’s decision to cut off the ties between the greenback and gold. Today, we revisit the topic once more and check what kind of implications it has for the price of the yellow metal.

More Signs of Silver Bullion Shortage / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: GoldSilverWorlds
“This is the definition of a silver shortage – nothing to do with the physical amount of the substance being in deficit, but people’s psychological intention not to sell. The extent to which a shortage is developing is witnessed by the extent of backwardation.”
