Gold Investors: Take the Red Pill! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
We make choices in our thinking, lifestyle, savings, and investments. We can look reality squarely in the face and swallow the red pill (from the movie - "The Matrix"). Or, we can swallow the blue pill with a healthy slug of whisky, continue riding the roller coaster of mass delusion, and go back to watching "Reality TV" and the evening news. Either way we will experience the consequences of our actions and our thinking.

Dead Cat U.S. Dollar Outperforms Gold, Silver and The HUI / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Bob_Kirtley
It has been a very hard year for the gold and silver bulls as this tiny sector has been sold off to an alarming extent by investors who are currently disillusioned by the demise of both gold and silver and the knock-on effect that they have had on the precious metals producers. Gold and silver have had a long run of ‘year on year’ gains and so the expectation was that 2013 should be more of the same. Alas, a correction arrived driving the precious metals down and decimating the price of a number of mining companies as the chart below clearly indicates.

Elliott Wave Suggests Bearish Gold Price Towards $1130 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Gregor_Horvat
Gold reversed sharply to the downside at the start of September, through the rising trend line of a corrective channel. As we know that's an important signal for a change in trend, which means that bearish price action is now back in play which is accelerating for the last couple of weeks from 1362 so we think that market is moving down in wave 3 that could reach 1130 region in the next few weeks. From a short-term perspective a break of 1210 opens door for 1180. On the other hand, if 1268 is broken then bearish reversal could be seen from second resistance placed at 1295.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Investment_U
Sean Brodrick writes: Christmas is a season for many things… and it’s also a time for commodities. No, I don’t mean the jewelry you’ll inevitably buy your sweetheart. I’m talking the old-time commodities: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Those were the gifts of the Magi to baby Jesus. In one form or another, these commodities or their replacements are still highly sought-after more than 2,000 years later.

Debunking The 6 Key Myths About Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: GoldCore
Here is how we respond to the myths of gold as propagated by some father-in-laws, some financial advisers and all Paul Krugmans.
Myth 1: Gold “Is A Barbaric Relic”
In fact, John Maynard Keynes never said gold was a “barbaric relic”. Actually, Keynes said that the gold standard monetary system was a barbaric relic.

The months marked with boxes are 'active months' for the delivery process. December is also an active month.

Silver Rigged Market Manipulation Coming To An End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
No one can question the fact that the demand for silver has grown exponentially in the past few years, record sales for American Eagle coins being one small example, record buying in India, another larger example. Demand has never been greater. Supply, on the other hand, keeps diminishing.
Global mining production is at its lowest in the past decade. The annual Consumption/ Production ratio is indicative of acute deficits. Whenever there is a situation where demand rises sharply, while supply commensurately declines, it is a recipe for higher prices, and usually, much higher prices. This is true, unless one is talking about the silver market. Under the conditions of record rising demand and considerably less supply, the price of silver is at its lowest levels in the past three years.

Signs of Gold's Upcoming Price Decline / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
This week was full of action for precious metals investors and traders. Gold, mining stocks, and (especially) silver rallied in the first days of the week only to disappoint on Wednesday and Thursday. No wonder; the rally didn't have "strong legs" as gold's strength was meager compared to that seen in the euro - another USD alternative.
In today's essay we will provide you with 3 gold-related charts (courtesy of http://stockcharts.com), each will tell a different story about gold's performance, but ultimately, they will all point in the same direction - the direction of another move lower in the price of gold.

By: David_Banister
Our Last major Elliott Wave Analysis of Gold came in early September when Gold had touched the 1434 area, and in that analysis we called for a re-test of 1271-1285 levels. This was based on our Elliott Wave Analysis of the patterns involved since the 1923 spot highs in the fall of 2011. Our clients of course were updated on a regular basis since that public analysis and we have been looking for clues to a bottom in this Gold bear cycle from the 2011 highs.

By: Gregor_Horvat

Gold Opportunity Today Same as It Was for Stocks in 2009 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes:
I turned bullish on gold bullion in 2002. At that point, gold bullion was trading around $300.00 an ounce. Now, it trades above $1,250. Simple math suggests this is an increase of about 260% in 11 years, or an average gain of about 23.6% a year.
Other asset classes, like stocks, haven’t performed this well. In 2002, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading near 10,000. Now, it hovers close to 16,000, up 60%, or an average of 5.45% per year, over the last 11 years.

By: Adrian_Ash
WHOLESALE LONDON gold tumbled more than $20 per ounce in quiet trade Thursday morning, falling with world stock markets after the week's "three-day rally [in gold] prompted some profit-taking" according to one dealing desk.
"The fact that India," said investor, fund manager and best-selling author Jim Rogers to BullionVault overnight, "which has been the largest buyer, has reduced its buying a lot is one of the main factors that's causing gold prices to go down."

Gold 1200+ Tonnes Extra Supply, 1000 Tonnes Blocked / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Indian Politics
The events in India have taken a most interesting turn for gold. The one year-old political party that is anti-corruption is shaking the political foundations there. The ruling National Congress Party is having to change its stance in a hurry and is already losing influence in the capital, Delhi. With elections in May, one of the changes we expect to see will be the Finance Minister relaxing (what effectively is) the blockade on the importing of gold, which is hammering the gold jewelry industry as well as denying Indians access to market gold.

John Paul Whitefoot writes: Despite the wintry Arctic chill, the economic recovery is in full bloom. Or is it? Wages are stagnant, unemployment remains stubbornly high at seven percent, and consumer confidence remains tepid at best. The average American investor clearly isn’t enjoying the Wall Street perpetual momentum machine.
