Sensational Facts About Gold Investing That You Might Not Know / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Frank_Holmes
Our ever-popular Periodic Table of Commodity Returns has been updated through 2012. Investor Alert readers love this chart as it shows a decade of results across 14 different commodities, providing strikingly rich information in a very familiar format.
Last year, 11 commodities rose in value, with wheat rising as the top crop after seeing a significant decline in 2011. It was a similar rags-to-riches story for the next few leaders, including lead, zinc, natural gas and platinum, which all climbed double digits in 2012 after falling in 2011.

Gold, Silver and Stocks poised to Ramp higher in 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: David_Banister
It’s been a long drawn out corrective affair with the precious metals since the August-September 2011 top that seems so long ago right now. During that last spike period where Gold rallied to just over $1900 per ounce, we had mentioned many times in articles and to our subscribers that GOLD was likely peaking in a wave 3 of excitement and high powered bullish sentiment. The “tells” were the articles, the CNBC mentions, the daily “CNBC GOLD” ticker at the top of their screen, and the cover of a major magazine.

Hidden Inflation Means Gold is Going Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Robert_M_Williams
Back in 1980 the US experienced high inflation, close to 20% and with interest rates in excess of 18%, before the Fed finally got things under control. Companies had to raise prices and sales suffered as a result. In today’s world we are experiencing inflation, but it’s a lot harder to see. The government has changed the weighting of its inflationary indexes so the true effects aren’t reported. We also have more subtle ways of hiding inflation. Companies have learned not to raise prices since everyone can see that. Instead they’ve learned to quietly cut back on content while maintaining prices at previous levels.

Why Owning Gold is Absolutely Essential – Charles Ponzi Meets Cassandra / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
One fine day on the streets of Washington D.C. the ghost of Charles Ponzi struck up a conversation with the ghost of Cassandra. He was a charming devil and assumed she would find him irresistible so he began with “It is ironic, I think, that I am a thief, while you see and speak the truth, but the people believe me and scorn you.”
Cassandra was not impressed and replied, “It is true. Most people would prefer a charming falsehood to the severity of truth. Since no one believes me anyway, you might as well tell me what scam you are currently promoting. I am truly interested. Please, do tell.”

The Mystery Behind the Bundesbank's Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Last Wednesday the Bundesbank released a statement to the effect that 300 tonnes of Germany’s gold will be moved from New York and 374 tonnes from Paris. This should be a simple operation: rail or trucks from Paris, and a few military planeloads (or ships) from America – as soon as they have somewhere to store it.

Gold And Silver Nearing “Crunch Time” / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
“…Oh! What a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive…”
From Marmion, Canto VI, Stanza 17, Sir Walter Scott
What does this have to do with gold and silver? Everything! We are in a
trench warfare with central bankers, hellbent on destroying capitalism,
sovereign nations, currencies, all in the service of achieving world dominance,
via deception, letting nothing and no one stand in the way. The importance
of gold and, to a lesser extent, silver are the Achilles Heel of the Bilderberg
Clan’s largest Ponzi scheme ever. Whatever one may think of the Mafia, they
are bit players in contrast to the central banking clan, the most ruthless
collection of individuals ever assembled.

Gold and Silver Bullion Are On the Move / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Eric_McWhinnie
The price movement of gold and silver often attract much attention. When prices make a noticeable increase, it regularly leads to permabulls calling for the next great explosion in precious metals. On the other hand, any dips or corrections lead to critics calling for an end to the 12-year bull market. Both sides are debatable, but there is no denying that physical bullion made impressive moves this past week.

Gold Demand: East vs. West / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Clif_Droke
Gold, as defined by the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), has been a less than stellar performer of late. I’ve long maintained that the 150-day moving average is a psychologically significant benchmark for the gold ETF, both as a line of support and resistance. GLD’s performance in recent weeks has only confirmed this observation. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold The Single Best Investment of 2013? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
The amount of bearish sentiment towards gold prices these days on the part of investors is not surprising to me. Investors often work in herds, moving to “hot” sectors from “weak” sectors very quickly. But, as I have said all along, the “gold play” is a long-term one, not a speculative one.
Economics 101: if demand for an asset or item increases, prices rise. If supply of an asset or item increases above demand, prices fall.

Gold Price Setting Up for a Massive Breakout in 2H 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
This piece expounds upon what we covered last week. In that piece, regarding Gold, we concluded:
If Gold is able to firm up here and now then it has a good shot to rally back to $1750-$1800 over the next few months. If we get the bullish scenario and a fundamental catalyst shift then expect Gold to break past $1800 in Q3. That would mean that Gold consolidated for two years which would be its longest consolidation on record. The longer the consolidation, the more explosive the breakout.
