When To Sell Your Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jan_Kaska
Late last year, we were trying to short gold on the movement in world real rates. We had a beautiful chart, great correlation and a trade that should have performed magnificently (Chart 1). Yet, it did not. True, gold fell from 1400 to 1300, but nowhere near 1150 as we expected. As you can see on Chart 2, the correlations did not really break up, but the gold got boosted by some special alpha.

Visions Of A Mad Gold Stock Speculator / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adam_Brochert
A series of long-term charts suggests to me that we are getting ready for a Gold stock explosion higher that should begin before the summer is over. I am biased due to being rabidly bullish on Gold stocks right now, both intellectually and financially. Please take the following technical analysis smorgasbord with a grain of salt given my greedy dreams of speculative riches, which clearly bias my perspective.

Goldman Sachs and Its Rare Earth Rigmarole / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Jeb_Handwerger
The front page headline in the Wall St. Journal a couple of weeks ago read, "Goldman Sachs (GS) warns of surplus with rare earths(REMX), rare earths seen growing less rare." If there was ever a case of journalistic malfeasance or in the least clumsy misinformation, this article had to be it.

Euro, Dollar Indices and Gold Market A Short-Term Must Watch! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We have often discussed how the movement of index level values for both the euro and the dollar mirror each other in a fairly precise manner most of the time. This is mainly due to the euro being the largest component of the USD Index. The currency markets have a great deal of influence on stocks and precious metals alike, so what happens in these markets must be a regular part of any meaningful analysis of trends across the precious metals sector.

Gold Stocks Mega-Super Cycle / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
Gold is in the midst of a 20-year upward climb, according to The Great Super Cycle Author David Skarica. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he points out the emerging market small caps that could profit from global economic swings.
The Gold Report: In a February interview with The Gold Report, you said, "We're in the midst of a 15- to 20-year mega-supercycle for gold and gold equities." You predicted $1,500/oz. gold prices and that gold would move higher through 2015 or 2020. Do you still believe that to be the case?

Weak SPX Stock Market Technicals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
While the stock markets have enjoyed an outstanding busy season, the dreaded summer doldrums are now upon us. This vacation season usually heralds listlessly-grinding markets, sometimes significant selloffs, and rarely meaningful rallies. The stock-market technicals heading into summer greatly influence which outcome is most likely in these coming lethargic months.

IMF Firefight For Missing Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Andrew_McKillop
The arrest of former IMF head Strauss-Kahn came at a key moment in this secretive entity's emergency bailout operations for Greece, Ireland and Portugal, and IMF advanced action in several other Eurozone-17 countries facing similar sovereign-debt crises. Greece, tottering near outright restructuring of its massive and fast-growing debt, as interest rates on its bonds continue to rise, is in renewed crisis and most economists expect what is politely called a reprofiled debt rescue package for the country. The IMF committed between a third and a quarter of the € 110 billion ($ 155 billion) in already-agreed aid to Greece, and has engaged to put up at least a third of the partly-set € 78 billion rescue package needed for Portugal.

Gold Strengthens in Real Terms / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
My favorite form of technical analysis is intermarket analysis which is the comparison of various markets and sectors. All markets relate in one way or another. The current market cycle is being dominated by macro-related events. Since all markets have had a stronger link than in the past, it makes intermarket analysis very important. By analyzing markets in the context of one another we can decipher or confirm the cycles within the current secular trends.

By: David_Galland

Silver Collapse of 2011 Should Continue / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Recent firing of a football coach in my hometown was cause for considerable reflection. Why does someone fire a winning coach? A few years ago the college I attended for graduate work fired their football coach, one with a winning record. In fact, it was a winning record such that most only dream of achieving. His fatal flaw? He could not beat the school's arch rival in a state to the south. Seems some losses are more important all the wins.

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Now three weeks after the massive silver movement toward $50 per ounce, and a near reversal of opinion among the financial media, silver is now stable in the $34 per ounce area. While the panic, confusion, and frankly, fraudulent popping of the silver price may have shaken the weak hands, the market is providing opportunities for those who are willing to wait out the institutional investors.
