The Key Factor To Drive Gold and Silver Prices to Extreme Values / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Steve_St_Angelo
The precious metal investors are actually sitting on gold mine, and they don't even know the real reason why this is true. Many analysts are focusing on the huge amount of debt and fiat money in the system to be invested in gold and silver, but the fundamental root cause continues to go unnoticed.
While the massive amount of debt, derivatives and fiat money are indeed excellent reasons to own the precious metals, they are the mere symptoms and not the disease itself. The advanced societies of the world were built on an economic system that can only survive if it continues to grow. Without growth, the $100's of trillions in derivatives and debts would implode -- along with it the Suburban Retail-Commercial-Housing economy.

Silver Prices and the Flow of Physical / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The ultimate lynch pin for the silver market is the flow of physical metal to support ongoing price suppression. The flow of physical metal is mostly an illusion nearly equal to (and in some ways parallel with) the perceived strength of the paper currencies used to measure its value. Actual or threat of default in physical silver delivery to the COMEX could very likely lead to default across the asset spectrum.

Gold and Silver Today’s Similarities with 1976 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Mark Twain said history doesn’t repeat itself but it rhymes. We often see that in the capital markets. The big decline in Gold this year is reminiscent of that of 1975-1976. Yet, aside from that there are several other similarities between today and 1976. Gold, gold stocks, the stock market and commodities appear to be in a similar position today compared to 1976. We note and discuss the four similarities.

The Jim Rogers View On Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Clif_Droke
If October has held any surprises for anyone so far, it has to be the bears. While volatility has been in evidence, the crash that some analysts were predicting has so far failed to materialize.
One reason for this was the increase in short interest leading up to the start of the month. According to short interest data provided by Consensus Inc., bullish sentiment has been declining for the last few months and recently hit a low for the year to date. Investors and advisors alike, it seems, have been growing more bearish and had a less-than-favorable outlook for the market heading into the debt ceiling limit debate.

Gold Resurrection From Financial Disaster, Gold Trade Settlement $7000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Take a whirlwind tour with graphics and photos. Absorb the images. They are profound, broad, and ugly. The central bank concept is the Matrix in embodiment, but the Eastern nations led by BRICS and G-20 have a key to unlock the USDollar prison. A quick look at the Australian banking system reveals four global banks who own outsized portions, their reach extending to the largest gold producer in Oz as well. Incest is best. The fast decline in Money Velocity is the most convincing proof of the failure of monetary policy. It does not provide stimulus, but rather capital destruction. The foreign dumping of USTreasury Bonds actually accelerated this past summer, amidst the Taper Talk trial balloon offered by the hapless desperate Bernanke Fed. His legacy will be one of disproving his own PhD Thesis, since liquidity in torrents does not repair insolvency, and no traction comes to soaked ground. A grand game of shuffling gold bars has begun, actually accelerated in a final phase.

Central Banks Gold Holdings - The Bullion Market's Big Issues / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
Remember when gold reserves were all the rage for central banks...?
Putting gold into your investment portfolio typically signals a lack of faith in other people. Or at the very least, a healthy question mark.
Yet even as governments everywhere give investors new reasons to find doubts, the trend is no longer for those enormous investors, the world's central banks, to keep buying. Not according to analysis of the latest IMF data.

Silver Price 4 Cycles in 12 Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
During the past 12 years silver prices have bottomed, rallied sharply, collapsed, and then languished for a year or more. The patterns are not identical, but there are obvious similarities as shown in the following chart. (Note that it is a weekly line chart, from close to close, log scale, with high and low bars not shown. For example, silver might have bottomed on a Wednesday but only the Friday close is plotted.)

Gold Jumps 2.9% on US Debt Downgrade Risk / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
LONDON GOLD moved in a $10 range Wednesday morning around $1281 per ounce – the early August low, down more than 10% from that month's peak – as both the US House and Senate were due to meet in what headline writers called "a last ditch attempt" to resolve the government's debt-limit deadline, set for tomorrow.
US debt will likely be downgraded from its AAA status, the Fitch ratings agency warned yesterday, if the government hits a technical default when it reaches the current debt ceiling of $16.7 trillion on Thursday.

More Evidence of Gold Price Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes:
While I avidly follow the actions of central banks to see where the gold bullion prices may be headed next, when I look at them today, their actions are speaking louder than words.
Central banks have pretty much stopped selling gold bullion, which is very important. In 1999, a number of central banks in Europe formed an alliance and agreed that they would not sell more than 400 tonnes of gold bullion per year. The agreement was called the Central Bank Gold Agreement (CBGA). In 2004, the CBGA was renewed again; this time the limit was 500 tonnes. Once again, it was renewed for another five years in 2009, and the limit is back to the sale of no more than 400 tonnes of gold bullion per year.

Who Says Gold Is Money? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Janet_Tavakoli
Who is right? Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger and many more say you shouldn’t own gold. Ray Dalio, David Einhorn, Jim Rogers, John Paulson, George Soros, and I (among many others) own some gold—but that doesn’t mean you should own it.

Gold and Silver Through the Looking Glass / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jesse
"A rogue does not laugh in the same way that an honest man does; a hypocrite does not shed the tears of a man of good faith. All falsehood is a mask; and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention we may always succeed in distinguishing it from the true face." Alexandre Dumas
It was capping all the way today as stocks rallied back from overnight lows to close on the highs, while gold and silver were pushed down and went out near the lows.

Gold - Goldman Sachs Strikes Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Clif_Droke
Call it the revenge of the gold bears. Jeffrey Currie, the Goldman Sachs chief commodity analyst whose name inspires dread on all gold bugs who hear it, has made yet another bearish prediction for the gold price.
Last week Mr. Currie stated that gold is a "slam dunk" sell because of his expectation that the U.S. economy will extend its recovery after Congress extends the debt ceiling. The price of gold, as if on cue, promptly declined after Currie's remarks were widely published and it appears that gold is indeed poised for another leg down.

Gold and Silver - Western Bankers [Forced] Bowing To China / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
On Friday morning, gold trading was shut down for 10 seconds in a "stop logic" event, as the CME explains. In essence, when there is an overload of orders that cleans out stops, the market halts, [10 seconds???] "designed to prevent exaggerated price movements." In a sorry-ass explanation that defies common sense, except to protect the criminal exchange behavior, we give this CME propaganda no further consideration.

Gold and America's Fake Debt Default / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
Gold just isn't working as advertised as Washington flirts with disaster...
There's no denying that precious metals are falling even as the US debt-limit deadline draws so near, you can see that it's wearing a wig.
In fact, the mere hint of a short-term fix to avoid default next Thursday knocked gold prices below $1300 this week, with a further plunge as US trade opened on Friday.

U.S. Gold and Debt Ceiling - Here We Go Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
Since the U.S. shutdown began last week gold has been trading in a tight range between $1,277 and $1,330 per ounce. Although investors have believed that worries over the debt ceiling would be only short-lived, it seems that each day that passed without an agreement tested their nerves.
On Thursday, President Barack Obama agreed to consider a proposal from Republican lawmakers to avert a historic debt default. U.S. House of Representatives Republicans plan to offer President Barack Obama a short-term increase in the federal debt limit if he agrees to negotiate with Republicans on matters, including funding to reopen the government.
