2014 Y-T-D: Gold 1 Fantasies 0 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
As we welcomed the beginning of 2014 the advice from "gurus" was rather straight forward. Gold was going to $1,060. At the same time the stock markets would continue to advance. So our life would be financially happy if we sold our Gold and bought the favorites fantasies in the NASDAQ/technology group, such as TWTR. Well, seems the real world was to hold some disappointment for those strategists.

Silver Price Outperforming Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Since Monday financial markets have consolidated following the emerging market currency shocks of the previous week. Safe-haven bonds were strong initially, before tailing off yesterday. Equities started the week badly but steadied yesterday, and gold spiked at $1274 on Wednesday before being knocked back $20 subsequently. The result is gold was more or less unchanged on the week by last night, though early indications London time are for better prices today.

Gold, Silver and The Fed's Total Mandate / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The errors of financial policy, led by the world's central banks have once again created the makings of a massive crisis. Blind to risk, and completely captured by politics and ideology, it is as if the Federal Reserve and it's counterparts have been awarded a total mandate. All of the misplaced and mis priced risk is poised to flood toward precious metals.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold, Silver And The Gathering Crypto Currency Storm / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Much controversy surrounds comparisons between precious metals and the growing number of crypto currencies. In some ways an ideological wedge has formed between hard asset investors and the most vocal of electronic currency advocates.While both investment options remain relatively sequestered from the mainstream spotlight, they both offer fascinating perspectives for understanding the ongoing monetary and financial crisis.

Gold as a Hyperinflation Hedge - Black Swans, Yellow Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_J_Kosares
ANDREW DICKSON WHITE ENDS HIS CLASSIC HISTORICAL ESSAY on hyperinflation, “Fiat Money Inflation in France,” with one of the more famous lines in economic literature: “There is a lesson in all this which it behooves every thinking man to ponder.” The lesson that there is a connection between government over-issuance of paper money, inflation and the destruction of middle-class savings has been routinely ignored in the modern era. So much so, that enlightened savers the world over wonder if public officials will ever learn it.

Dark Gold - Shedding Light On A Mysterious Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Peter_Schiff
Gold is the simplest of financial assets - you either own it or you don't. Yet, at the same time, gold is also among the most private of assets. Once an individual locks his or her safe, that gold effectively disappears from the market at large. Unlike bank deposits or stocks, there is no way to tally the total amount of gold held by individual investors.Read full article... Read full article...

GOLD Price Rally Correction Within Downtrend / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Gregor_Horvat
Gold has been trading higher since start of January but recovery is slow and overlapping within a trading channel which we think it's a corrective move. We are tracking wave 4 that can be part of an expanding diagonal in wave 5) down. If that is the case then current rally should stop somewhere around 1280-1300 region. Break of 1230 will confirm weakness for wave 5 of 5) going towards 1100/50.

JP Morgan Holds Highest Amount Of Physical Silver In History / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: GoldSilverWorlds
While everyone is focused on the massive outflows in COMEX registered gold inventories and the gold ETF, GLD, it seems that an important evolution in silver is passing unnoticed. In what follows, Ted Butler, precious metals analyst specialized in COT analysis, reveals a remarkable insight in the physical silver market.
Butler’s calculations show that JPMorgan (JPM) has piled up the largest holding of physical silver in modern world. Since the silver price peak in May 2011, the bank has accumulated between 100 and 200 million ounces of physical silver (if not more). The equivalent in metric tonnes is between 3,110 and 6,220 tonnes.

Seven Gold and Uranium Juniors with Near-Term Growth You Can't Ignore / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: The_Gold_Report
Many junior miners have an ace up the sleeve, and that is commodity price leverage. Joe Mazumdar, senior mining analyst with Canaccord Genuity, sat down with us to share what he looks for in junior companies with a lot of commodity price leverage. In this interview with The Mining Report, find out why bigger isn't necessarily better when it comes to gold mining projects, and why the market is favoring uranium explorers over producers—for now. Mazumdar also shares names of gold companies with "bite-sized" capital needs from Burkina Faso to California, as well as the apples of his eye in the Athabasca Basin, where management teams with significant track records are heading up promising exploration programs.

Now Is the Time to Buy Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Casey_Research
By Bud Conrad, Chief Economist
Gold has been in a downturn for more than two years now, resulting in the lowest investor sentiment in many years. Hardcore goldbugs find no explanation in the big picture financial numbers of government deficits and money creation, which should be supportive to gold. I have an explanation for why gold has been down—and why that is about to reverse itself. I'm convinced that now is the best time to invest in gold again.

Could Gold Surprise Investors in 2014? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
Mohammad Zulfiqar writes: The demand for gold bullion is increasing. Each day there’s more evidence that suggests this phenomenon will continue. We see consumers buying gold bullion across the global economy. As a result, mints are working in overdrive mode to meet this demand and gold storage facilities are looking to add more vaults.

Gold and Silver Stocks Sector New Uptrend - Juniors to Lead the Charge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Clive_Maund
We sold our Precious Metals sector holdings on Monday 27th January, which we had bought just a few weeks earlier, in order to sidestep a possible reaction. The reason for this was that both gold and silver had arrived at important trendline resistance and some of our juniors had become critically overbought after strong gains. Were we correct to sell at that point, in view of the building major uptrend across the sector?

Why is the Federal Reserve Tapering the Gold Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Paul_Craig_Roberts
In former times, the rise in the gold price was held down by central banks selling gold or leasing gold to bullion dealers who sold the gold. The supply added in this way to the market absorbed some of the demand, thus holding down the rise in the gold price.
As the supply of physical gold on hand diminished, increasingly recourse was taken to selling gold short in the paper futures market. We illustrated a recent episode in our article. Below we illustrate the uncovered short-selling that took the gold price down today (January 30, 2014).

Gold And Silver – Calls For Explosive Upside In Precious Metals Misplaced / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_Noonan
So far, January 2014 has become a part of the failed rally for gold and silver that was so widely expected in 2013. That has not stopped the renewed enthusiasm for 2014 being THE year for the long awaited rally-to-the-sky. Anyone who reads our commentaries on a regular basis knows that the most reliable source for what the market will do comes from the market itself.
The contention here is that almost everyone's focus is misplaced, and the reasons why gold and silver remain at low levels are not being given their proper due. It has to do more with the battle for world supremacy than anything else, a topic for another time.

Tapering Blues for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
The second tapering reduction, a further $10bn per month, was announced this week. It was we are told by the news channels fully expected. This is probably the initial reason why US Treasury prices rose on the news, because bears would have bought back their positions. However, weakness in emerging market currencies indicates that there is a safe-haven element developing in US Treasury bond prices.

The central bank driver world macro structure is in full can-kicking mode. The fuels that have built up are almost too numerous to mention, though some issues continue to be recycled as if they were needed to explain the latest potential spark.

Silver Price Rally Could Mean Another 1,000% Bull Run / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: Let's face it, 2013 was rough on silver.
The precious metal started out the year at $31, and ended at $19.50, continuing an overall slump dating back roughly to mid-2011.
That, however, obscures a massive run, like gold, that silver embarked on in 2001 when it was near $4, eventually topping out around $49 in April 2011. At its peak it generated a return of 1,091%.

Gold Price Faces Complex Recovery / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Gregor_Horvat
On gold we are tracking an incomplete complex corrective recovery from 1181 which can be a double zigzag. If that is the case then gold should make another higher, in 1280-1300 to complete a second zigzag. Only a break of 1230 will suggest that top is already in place. In such case we will turn directly bearish on gold for possible move back to 1181.

Cyclical Bear in Stocks, a Catalyst for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The non-static, changing correlation between precious metals and equities is something we’ve written about several times in the past few years. We last wrote about this in June in Epic Opportunity in the Gold Stocks. The mainstream is entirely oblivious to the fact that gold stocks (and precious metals) can have rip-roaring bull markets when equities are in a bear market. The precursor to this is two-fold: precious metals are in a secular bull and the correlation between the two has been negative for more than a year. The current negative correlation has been in place for more than two years and now gold stocks have bottomed (in our view) and equities are looking toppy.

Gold and Silver Price Ready To Rumble Higher? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: David_Banister
We have been writing about the bottoming process of the Gold Bear Cycle (Elliott Wave Theory) since December 4th 2013, and our most recent article on December 26th reiterated that the best time to accumulate the Gold/Silver stocks was in the December and January window. Specifically this is what we wrote:
