Precious Metals Starting To Produce Some Winners / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: John_Rubino
Everybody who’s owned gold and silver mining shares through a couple of cycles has their favorite story of the stock that took off and ran away. There was Glamis Gold, which rose from $1 to $40 in the space of a few years before selling out to Goldcorp. And Silver Wheaton, which soared from $3.45 in 2008 to over $40 in 2011. And many, many more.

Big News This Week on the Fed, Debt Ceiling, and Physical Silver Premiums / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: MoneyMetals
Clint Siegner writes: Gold and silver spot prices lost ground to a strengthening U.S. dollar last week. The dollar enjoyed its best week in 5 months, as other major world currencies weakened. European central bankers are once again hinting at more stimulus, and the Chinese government cut interest rates for the 6th time in the past year.

Gold and Silver Charge of the Light Brigade / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jesse
Gold and silver were hit by paper contract selling this morning and the US dollar caught a bid higher.
The only delivery action in The Bucket Shop was another house to house account delivery of gold from Nova Scotia to JPM.
Someone who owned gold bullion in the Nova warehouse put it up for delivery. I wonder who that could be.

Gold And Silver – Elite’s NWO Secretly Operates In The Open / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
There are far bigger concerns about which Americans remain woefully unaware, even within the Precious Metals community. How much demand there is for silver coins, how low is the supply for silver in contradistinction to an insatiable demand, China supposedly to set the price for physical gold to reflect reality once the Shanghai gold exchange got up and running, which it has been, etc, etc, etc, are not the most relevant factors, right now.
Almost all of the so-called PM experts/bloggers who report detailed information, and many available articles on the web focused on gold and silver, have collectively been untimely as to expectations in the ‘meteoric’ rise in prices that are supposed to reflect the realities of actual supply and demand. China will not be the country [even including the BRICS nations collectively] to rescue gold from the fiat-driven Western global elites who do whatever possible to make gold economically irrelevant on the world economic stage.

GDXJ, GDX Gold Miners Holding Gains in Bullish Fashion / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
We published a video update a few days ago discussing the short-term outlook for the precious metals sector which includes the gold miners. With regards to the miners, we took the view that they could digest recent gains and hold support or break lower and trade close to the support near summer lows. After this week and today especially, one scenario is more likely.

Silver’s Deep Undervaluation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Zeal_LLC
Silver is finally showing some signs of life after suffering a dark year. The epically-bearish sentiment that bludgeoned this metal to major secular lows is cracking, with a strong rebound rally now underway. And this recent buying is likely just the earliest vanguard, as silver remains deeply undervalued relative to its primary driver gold. Silver will need an utterly massive upleg to fully mean revert to normal levels.
Silver has been out of favor for a long time, the last few years. And 2015 didn’t give beleaguered silver investors much hope. By late August, July’s extreme gold-futures shorting attack had dragged silver down to a major 6.0-year secular low. Down 9.9% year-to-date at that dark nadir, silver was left for dead by traders. The despair was real, as it certainly felt like silver was doomed to keep grinding lower forever.

Silver Prices and The Fiduciary Standard Of Care / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Once again we get to continue along this discussion of how the price of silver is truly formed in the market as we see it today.
The reason for that is so that you can have as a resource the ability to go to a whole set of information that shows you what's really happening in real time, rather than going out and feeling disconnected or disintegrated and looking weak correlations that have no connection to anything.

USO Patience Before Picking Cycle Low / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Gary_Savage
A little more patience before trying to pick the cycle low in oil. RSI is just now getting oversold so its getting close.
I Like to see price close below the lower Bollinger band before trying to pick the bottom. Once it does then wait for a swing low to form.

Why Opportunistic Investor Chen Lin Is Hoping for $20/Barrel Oil / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: The_Energy_Report
A quick drop to $20/barrel oil could be the best thing for energy companies with enough cash in the bank to take advantage of the sharp bounce predicted in the wake of such a dramatic fall. In this interview with The Energy Report, newsletter writer Chen Lin names two companies that could not only survive the oil price downturn, but also are perfectly positioned in the global market to start generating barrels of cash for investors.

China’s Stock Market Crash and Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Arkadiusz_Sieron
The stock market crashes were – alongside the devaluation of yuan – the most important recent developments in China. The stock market started rising during the summer of 2014, when the property market started to burst. The timing is no coincidence, as the government wanted to replace one bubble by another. By inflating (or at least cheerleading) the stock market bubble (by cutting interest rates and providing liquidity into the markets via the Pledged Supplementary Lending and Medium-Term Lending Facility, the Chinese version of quantitative easing both worth over the 2 trillion yuan), the Communist Party of China wanted to sell equity stakes of dangerously debt-burdened state enterprises and help clean up messy balance sheets, as well as to create a wealthy middle class, as a condition to move from exports/investment-led growth to domestic-consumption-led growth.

Gold On Verge Of Posting First Positive Year Since 2012 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
Gold is looking likely to finish the year positive for the first time since 2012, according to Frank Holmes writing in Forbes today. Holmes points to the weaker US dollar, the probability of near-zero interest rates for the remainder of the year and a seasonal increase in demand as underpinning the positive momentum.

By: OilPrice_Com
"Two men enter, one man leaves, two men enter, one man leaves, two men enter..." -
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome November 27, oil consuming countries will celebrate the first anniversary of the Saudi decision to let market forces determine prices. This decision set crude prices on a downward path. Subsequently, to defend market share, the Saudis increased production, which exacerbated market oversupply and further pressured prices.

Gold Shows Strength as Debt Ceiling Showdown Approaches / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: MoneyMetals
Stefan Gleason writes: Gold and silver markets enter this week on improved technical footing. The precious metals each rallied above resistance levels last week as disappointing economic data stimulated safe-haven buying.
Silver cleared the $16.00 level, while gold poked above its 200-day moving average for the first time in five months on Wednesday. And prices closed Friday right at the 200-day line and remain there this morning.

Gold New Bull Market a False Dawn? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Clive_Maund
Gold's cheerleaders are at it again, jumping up and down with excitement as they proclaim the birth of a new bullmarket, and herding their flocks into the sector, when they have barely recovered from the last fleecing.
There are 3 factors that we are going to look at which suggest that this latest rally is just another false dawn. One is the unbroken downtrends in gold and silver, the next is the unfavorable alignment of their moving averages, and finally their latest COTs, which call for caution - especially silver's which is downright bearish.
