Gold and Silver, NUTS to all of you ‘Top Pickers!’ / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Peter_Degraaf
“What is the meaning of a gold standard and a redeemable currency? It represents integrity. It insures the people’s control over the government’s use of the public purse. It is the best guarantee against the socialization of a nation. It enables a people to keep the government and banks in check. It prevents currency expansion from getting ever farther out of bounds until it becomes worthless. It tends to force standards of honesty on government and bank officials. It is the symbol of a free society and an honorable government. It is a necessary prerequisite to economic health. It is the first economic bulwark of free men”. W. E. Spahr.

Understanding Where We Are in the Silver Bull Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: David_Banister
Last August I told my subscribers to prepare for a monster rally in Silver, which at the time of my forecast was $18.73 per ounce. I drew up a chart and predicted a huge rally to $29 an ounce, and we ended up at $31 or so just a few months later. This was entirely a crowd behavioral move that I foresaw in advance, based on patterns that R.N. Elliott developed in the 1920's and 1930's. My theory was besides the crowd pattern (a 20 month odd Triangle consolidation), that investor's would begin to view Silver as "Poor man's Gold" and buy it. Literally, the idea is as simple as investors will simply think that "Gold is too expensive, but silver is cheap". That is the explosion power that is behind this move from $19 to $50 an ounce since late August 2010.

S&P500 May Hold Clues to Gold and Silver Peak / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: J_W_Jones
The single biggest news event this week besides the Royal Wedding (who actually cares) was Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s televised press conference. The Federal Reserve is attempting to appear more transparent after coming under pressure from the United States Congress because of their obscure and potentially nefarious operation. For most Americans, Ben Bernanke is someone they likely have never even heard of, but on Wednesday Mr. Bernanke got to bask in the sunlight that is generally only reserved for public elites such as celebrities, pro athletes, and the President of the United States.

Silver Bull Market Continues / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Tony_Caldaro
For the past few years we have received constant requests to provide a report on Silver. We have provided numerous reports on Gold since we feel it is money, not currency, and it has been in a bull market since 2001. Silver, on the other hand, is currency. Not fiat currency that can be mass produced with a printing press or, nowadays, just a keystroke on a FED computer. Silver has always been a means of exchange for one tangible asset or another, until the past several decades. Whether anyone still considers Silver a currency in not important. What is important is that it has been in a secular bull market since 1993, and a recent bull market since 2008. The following chart displays this secular bull market.

Vertical Drop for Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dian_L_Chu
I was fully expecting a non-eventful Sunday afternoon when out of no where, precious metals started their contest of vertical drop, as shown in the following live charts from Kitco.com as of Sunday, May 1, around 7:00 pm EST.
As expected, silver is the undisputed champion, dropping about 10% from the previous day's close, glod, platinum each went down about 7.5%, while palladium lost about 2% (percentage based on spot prices on charts).

Has the Silver Melt-Up Run its Course? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
The big question on the minds of silver investors and especially silver traders is whether the meltup in silver has run its course, or whether it has further to go. On Monday last week we saw temporary burnout with a Reversal Day showing up on the chart at a point where silver was fantastically overbought. On the basis of this, and also the extremely bullish public opinion on silver and extremely bearish public opinion on the dollar (the public are normally wrong) it was reasonable to conclude that silver had either topped out or that a correction was imminent, and that is what we did conclude. However, the situation is now complicated by the fact that the latest COT figures reveal that Commercial short and Large Spec long positions have been dramatically scaled back just over the past week, which is not what you would expect to see ahead of a drop - what should happen is that Commercial short positions either ramp up or least remain constant. This latest COT chart by itself portends another upleg soon.

Gold Melt-Up May Have Started / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
The interesting thing about gold is that although it has been in a steady long-term uptrend there has still been no meltup, such as we have seen in silver, but if the dollar really caves in that could very well happen - and such a meltup may have just started this past Friday.

Gold Jumping the Track Or Reaching a Routine Target? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adam_Brochert
When looking at longer time frames using technical analysis/charting, it is often appropriate to use a log scale price chart versus using a linear scale price chart for shorter-term time frames. But at what exact time frame should you switch from a log scale chart to a linear scale chart and what are the exceptions? Well, the answer is that we are dealing with art as much as science when using technical analysis.

Gold and Silver Keep Pushing Higher But Why Stocks Are Not Following? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Gold and silver keep pushing into new high ground, why are the stocks not following? Too often the activity of the gold stocks is a leading indicator as to what the metal might be doing so one should be very cautious about jumping into the commodities at this time. This is not a certainty but the stock performances just may be warning of a metal collapse ahead.

A Precious Opportunity in Gold and Silver? Have they Topped? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“They say the cover-up is worse than the crime…
Until we rip the seal off the Fed's books, we will never discover the depth of the Fed's looting of taxpayers…
You see, the government and the Fed put taxpayers on the hook for $14 trillion during the financial crisis.

Gold Rally With a Silver Lining / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
There were plenty of silver linings this week. Silver moved close to the 1980 and the key barrier of $50 and gold is moving to new highs at the moment of writing these words. Before jumping right into gold and silver charts, let’s take a few moments to examine the situation in the Euro Index, as it has been recently highly correlated with gold. We will start with the long-term chart (charts courtesy by http://stockcharts.com.)

Gold and Silver vs the U.S Dollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Casey_Research
One sure upshot of the quantitative easing money flooding the stock market will be further distortions, chaos and unpredictability that make the value-investing proposition difficult, if not impossible, according to Casey Research Chairman Doug Casey. On the eve of a sold-out Casey Research Summit in Boca Raton, Florida, Doug returns to The Gold Report. In this exclusive interview, he warns, "Like it or not, you're going to be forced to be a speculator."

Gold on Track to Reach $1860 - $1920 by Mid 2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldRunner
The Golden Parabola is continuing to follow the cycle of the 70’s Gold Bull as the U.S. Dollar is further devalued against Gold to balance the budget of the United States at this point in the “paper currency cycle” where Global Competitive Currency Devaluations rule. As discussed in a recent editorial this point in the cycle suggests that Gold will soon enter into a more aggressive higher rise in price as it starts to project the higher Vth Wave characteristics of this new Golden Parabola.

Gold Explorer Stocks GLDX ETF Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
Junior gold explorers represent a vital component of the global gold supply chain. These small companies take on the arduous task of discovering and developing many of the next-generation gold deposits. Without them, the gold markets would be in complete disarray and the large miners would be scrambling to backfill their project pipelines.

Secret Silver Buying as Comex Heads for Default? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold rose to new record nominal highs at $1,540.85/oz in early Asian trading last night. Silver and gold remain very close to nominal highs today as the beleaguered US dollar remains under pressure due to ultra loose US monetary policies, deepening inflationary price pressures and concerns about the feeble economic recovery.

I know that's a big statement. I'm certain that it grabbed your attention. Perhaps you're even considering arguments that would shoot it down.

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

We have two charts to help decipher a potential bottom.Read full article... Read full article...
