Gold Bugs Will be Vindicated / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Alasdair_Macleod
In recent weeks, while the eurozone has suffered escalating levels of systemic stress in government bond markets and its banking system, the gold price has fallen under $1,600. One would have thought that – but for the occasional fat-finger trade – gold would rise in all this instability, not fall. Putting aside short-term considerations, the simple reason has to be that the investment establishment, which has bought into the bond market bubble, does not believe that gold is any longer an alternative to paper money.

The Great Defection From The West From Debt Slavery Police States / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeff_Berwick
Remember a few decades ago when defection from communist countries to the west was common? Those in the west understood why. Of course they'd want to defect, they'd say. They're all but slaves in the Soviet Union... or Cuba... or China. Pick your communist paradise.

Do Eric Sprott and China Still Believe in Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Eric_McWhinnie
It has been a difficult week for precious metals, as gold and silver both experienced their lowest closes of the year. Gold futures settled at $1,594.20 per ounce on Wednesday, while silver futures finished at $29.18 on Thursday. They are also on pace for their worst weekly performance since December. However, several big name entities are still bullish on the safe-haven metals and believe the recent price action will reverse to end the year higher.

Commercials Gold Short Covering of Massive Short Positions, COT Report / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Marshall_Swing
Commercials bought a huge 7,453 longs and covered a humongous -19,095 shorts to end the week with 56.67% of all open interest and now stand as a group at -15,145,500 ounces net short, a mammoth decrease of almost 1,500,000 ounces net short from the previous week. I hope you understand what they are doing here. They intend to go net long at some point in the near future as they know exactly what the future holds. They will maximize their profit to the fullest. They will take the price of gold down until they are either net long or fully long and have bought up every speculator long that they can. It is very important that you review last week's COT because in it, plus this last Wed - Fri trading days are the key to where the gold price is going and how it is going to get there.

The Yuan, Rupee and Physical Silver Demand / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
China and India together account for a considerable amount of the current demand for physical silver. Each emerging market country has a strong base of support for silver from individual investors, who often purchase the physical metal as jewelry and bullion since it is thought to provide a more reliable store of value than the local currency.

Gold Down-leg Completed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Spot gold plunged to a new reaction low at $1573.01 in overnight trading, but has since rebounded to $1582/83. On further inspection, let's notice that the overnight new low hit and reversed off of the lower "support" line of the March-May down-slanted channel ... amidst a glaring 4-hour RSI momentum divergence.
My pattern and momentum work indicate that the down-leg from the May 1 high at $1672.10 to today's low at $1573.01 has the right look of completion (notwithstanding the likelihood of a retest or even a press to a marginal lower low).

Gold Bull Market Climaxes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has had a rough time lately, grinding relentlessly lower. Such technical weakness has naturally spawned increasingly bearish psychology. This has led to a fringe view growing in popularity that gold’s mighty secular bull has already given up its ghost. If these new-bear arguments are correct, gold’s secular bull had to peak last August. But was that latest topping gold-bull-climax worthy? Not even close.

We know someone who has actually done this by using the power of relative value. Let us explain the concept and then we will explain how the relative value may apply to other great opportunities in our markets today.

Gold Questioning Fed's Effectiveness / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Chris_Ciovacco
Central bankers want us to believe that monetary policy is about banks, interest rates, and the ability to get a "cheap" loan. The 2002 quote below from Ben Bernanke points to the primary goals of printing money - to boost asset prices and "scare' people into consuming and investing before prices go up.

The Influence of the General Stock Market and Crude Oil on Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We’re getting whiplash from all the political changes in Europe, neo-Nazis in an unstable government in Greece and a changing of the guard in France-- "adieu" to Nicolas Sarkozy. We see plenty of reasons for holding on to our long-term gold positions despite the clobbering the yellow metal got on Wednesday down to a four-month low. The euro tumbled this week against the dollar in the worst run since 2008. There is an intense resurgence of political risk in Europe and a couple of months of weak jobs numbers in the U.S. All that has put stimulus back on the table. Another item on the table is the risk of a Greek euro exit, which has risen to as high as 75 percent; according to Citigroup Inc. We also see a rising anti-austerity tide gaining ground in Europe and the abolishing of a gold excise duty in India, all favorable for gold.

Why Gold Might Be Setting Up For a Big Move Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Michael_J_Kosares
Counter-intuitive forces are at work in the gold market. Europe is moving toward dissolution – erratically to be sure but inevitably nevertheless. Intuition tells us that gold should be moving higher under the circumstances, after all, we are talking about the beginning phases of a major currency, and perhaps economic, collapse.

Gold Is Money / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Elliot_H_Gue
For centuries, the yellow metal has been viewed as a store of wealth. Unlike dollars, euros or yen, gold can’t be printed or created out of thin air. Gold is a proven hedge against inflation; it’s also a hedge against crises. During the Great Recession of 2008-09, the worst economic downturn since the 1930s, gold prices rallied from $840 per ounce at the end of 2007 to over $1,200 by the end of 2009, even though inflation over this period remained subdued.
