Gold Bull Marc Faber Now Says Price May Fall to $1300 Before Rebounding / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, said that gold may fall to $1300 before a rebound. He appeared on Bloomberg TV's "Street Smart" with Trish Regan and Adam Johnson today.
Faber said, "I love the fact that gold is finally breaking down. That will offer an excellent buying opportunity." On whether a deflationary environment is possible right now, Faber said, "In the economy of the cuckoo people that populate central banks, everything is possible."

Investors Panic Selling of Gold GLD ETF / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has faced stiff headwinds lately as investors abandon alternative investments to chase record-high stock markets. Probably the most significant has been the major selling hammering the flagship GLD gold ETF. It has suffered such intense differential selling pressure that its custodians have been forced to dump enormous quantities of physical gold. What are the implications of this flood of new supply?
The amount of gold bullion GLD has hemorrhaged recently is amazing. To put it into perspective, earlier this week the rumor that embattled Cyprus may be forced to sell its official gold reserves made news. The Cypriot government owns 13.9 metric tons of gold. But on a single trading day alone in February’s gold capitulation, GLD had to sell 20.8 tonnes! The supply recently added by GLD dwarfs everything else.

Silver Prices, Inflation and Living With the Long Term / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Short term anxiety in the silver market tends to play into the hands of the mainstream financial media that loves to cherry-pick data in order to support the sentiment flavor of the day.
This sentiment is normally biased against holding hard assets like silver, resulting in them being misunderstood or scorned.

How to Control the Price of Silver and Other Strategic Commodities / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In summary, four key influences seem to be at play in creating artificially low prices in the silver market.
- Outside Markets – these tend to have a deflationary influence, until suddenly they do not.
- Physical Market – this has been surging ahead of and outside of the manipulated futures price.
- Commercial Traders – these typically dominate the market and act as fronts for the manipulative central banks that are the so-called “not for profit” market participants often spoken about.
- Tech Funds and Professional Traders – these players tend to be relatively stoic and inwardly focused. Their trading decisions are typically purged of all emotion and seem insensitive to the above factors.

Gold Heads for Third Straight Weekly Fall in Thin Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Ben_Traynor
U.S. DOLLAR gold prices fell below $1550 an ounce Friday morning, though they remained above last week's low, as stocks and commodities also fell and the Dollar strengthened, with Eurozone finance ministers set to discuss Cyprus, Ireland and Portugal today.
"Current momentum favors a test to the downside," say technical analysts at Scotia Mocatta, "but we would not expect significant liquidation until a break of $1500."

Silver Price is Following its 1970s Pattern / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The cyclical bear market in Silver is serving its purpose. Its correcting and digesting the 6-fold advance that took place in less than two and a half years. A similar correction took place in the mid 1970s that led to the parabolic move to $50. Amazingly, if you line up Silver’s performance from its 1971 low to 1980 high with Silver’s performance since its 2008 bottom, you’ll notice strong parallels.

How Goldman Sachs is Manipulating Gold Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes: If you want a lesson on how to manipulate gold prices, you need only look at what Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) has been doing over the past few months.
Goldman set the table by predicting a turn in gold prices back in December 2012, which no doubt contributed to the precious metal's 5% decline in the first two months of the year.

Anyone who wants to get to the truth behind the inflationary threats to their wealth should ignore everything the Central Banks say about inflation and look instead at their actions.

By: Jesse
Someone emailed me about this, and I wanted to get the actual data so you can see it.
It appears that Eric Sprott has sold about 3 million shares of his Silver Trust so far this month. That is quite a bit of selling, but certainly not unheard of for someone who is a billionaire.

Gold Long-term Irreversible Forecast Trend to $10,000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Nick_Barisheff
The long-term “irreversible” trends I’ve discussed in detail in my upcoming book, $10,000 Gold, continue to develop. Many of the trends, such as debt creation and the movement away from the U.S. dollar, are accelerating and their consequences are appearing globally. Today we will interpret how these developments will likely affect the price of gold over the coming year and beyond.

Fed Exit? What Exit? Gold & Dollar Implications / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Axel_Merk
Is it time for the Federal Reserve (Fed) to stop printing money? Today, we focus on what might be going through Fed Chair Bernanke’s mind and the possible implications for the U.S. dollar and investors.
This week, the casual observer could come to the conclusion that the Fed wants to phase out printing additional money. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Minutes to be released this Wednesday might strike a comparatively optimistic tone. The only caveat being that the FOMC meeting statement included the language: “The Committee continues to see downside risks to the economic outlook”1 which may be elaborated on in the Minutes.

US Dollar Retreat Could Ignite Gold and Silver Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Bob_Kirtley
The recent rally in the US$ was more a product of the fall in other currencies than a strengthening of the dollar. In particular we have seen the British Pound fall dramatically in the first two months of this year and this was followed by the Japanese Yen which tumbled recently on the inflationary actions introduced by the Bank of Japan.

Iron Lady Irony in Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
Margaret Thatcher was a friend of gold, not of diehard gold investors...
DIVISIVE doesn't cover the half of it.
Quoting Francis of Assisi on bringing "harmony where there is discord" as she first entered No.10, Margaret Thatcher had already split the playground at my primary school. We knew little then beyond the football-club squabbling of red versus blue. But her political sons have since mixed it into a deep purple mess. Imperial under Tony Blair's high-spending Labour, it's now deeply patrician and scarcely meritocratic under David Cameron and his Con-Dem coalition.

Silver Premiums, Demand & Shortages / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jeff_Berwick
Back in 2008, silver fell from over $20 per ounce down to below $10. This was a stomach-turning experience for those who had begun investing heavily in the metal.
I heard reports of bullion dealers in the US who simply were not selling Monster Boxes of Silver Eagles. Physical metal was hard to find in spite of the price collapse.
That nadir didn't last for long as silver obviously rebounded magnificently, teasing its old psychological record of $50 an ounce. Realistically, it took some time for silver to crescendo amid increased demand arisen from The End Of The Monetary System As We Know It (TEOTMSAWKI).

What Drives the Gold Price? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Pento
There is still an incredible amount of misunderstanding on Wall Street about the relationship between the price of gold and the true value of the U.S. dollar. Most pundits simply claim that a rising dollar, as measured by the Dollar Index (DXY), causes gold prices to fall...and that is the end of their analysis.
