Gold Miners Look To Break Below June Low / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: GoldSilverWorlds
I’m looking for the miners to break below the June Low, but for Gold to hold above it. A decline by miners below the low should trigger exhaustion selling, but if Gold doesn’t confirm, it should mark a significant bear trap for investors in miners. If Gold holds above the June low, additional weakness in miners should be short-lived…and a final bottom in miners will become more likely.

Are Weak Gold Prices an Opportunity of a Lifetime Investors? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes: Given the recent further weakness in the price of gold bullion, should investors be running for the exit doors?
Some well-known “gold bugs” have recently turned bearish on the precious metal. But I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum; I see the pullback in gold prices as an opportunity of a lifetime for contrarian investors.

Gold and Silver When Money Is Corrupted - Video / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: hiddensecretsofmoney
Welcome to the 5th episode of Michael Maloney’s Hidden Secrets Of Money. In this instalment, we travel to Berlin and Frankfurt, where we were able to film the money museum inside the Bundesbank…one of the world’s largest Central Banks.
This episode serves as an ideal primer for those waking up to the monetary matrix around them, as it clearly shows the history of true money and why it so important to our freedom. The quality of a society is directly proportional to the quality of its money. Debase a currency for long enough, and you end up with dangerous deficits, debt driven disasters, and eventually…delusional dictators. History proves this to be true.

Stocks to Oil Ratio Implications for Crude Oil Price / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Nadia_Simmons
In our commentary from Nov. 14, you could read about the connection between oil stocks and the general stock market. Back then, we wrote the following:
(…) we clearly see that the XOI and the S&P 500 have moved roughly in the same direction in the recent years (…) a strong positive correlation remains in place also on a short-term basis.

Gold Bulls Get Another Shock / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Ed_Carlson
Gold bulls got another shock last week (assuming they're still watching the 'golden anchor'). Gold has breached the neckline of a head-and-shoulders pattern which has been five months in the making. On the chart below, readers can see the left shoulder in July, the head in August, and the right shoulder in October.

Gold Brief Pause or Final Bottom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Toby_Connor
Something may have changed today in the gold market. For one I think gold probably formed a minor daily cycle bottom today. But what I'm really talking about is the complete recovery from another middle of the night attack. For most of the last year these late night attacks have worked wonders for sending gold crashing through technical levels and triggering stops. Today however it simply didn't work for the first time.

The Uranium Race Is Set to Resume – Price Surge Could Begin in Days / Commodities / Uranium
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes: One in every 10 lightbulbs in the United States gets its power from Russian fuel. It's been that way ever since 1993, when the Megatons to Megawatts program began.
Under this agreement, the highly enriched uranium (HEU) contained in ex-Soviet nuclear weapons was downblended and converted into nuclear fuel.

How to Cash In on Deflationary Forces / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: The_Gold_Report
It's been a pretty rotten year for gold equities, and most investors can't wait for a fresh start in 2014. There's plenty to look forward to, according to Jay Taylor, publisher and editor of Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks and host of the radio show "Turning Hard Times into Good Times." Taylor, who is speaking at the Metals & Mining Conference in San Francisco, is forecasting a staggering rise in the real gold price, and profits for small-cap gold companies in the new year. In this interview with The Gold Report, Taylor identifies the best and brightest in his portfolio as he positions for a gold run.
The Gold Report: Jay, you're presenting "Deflationary Forces in the Midst of an Inflationary Monetary Regime," at the San Francisco Metals & Minerals Conference Nov. 25 and 26. How can that concept affect gold investors?

Platinum and Palladium - Hitch a Ride on the Supply Crunch / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Jeff_Clark
Can you name a commodity that's currently in a supply deficit—in other words, production and scrap material can't keep up with demand? How about two?
If you find that difficult to answer, it's because there aren't very many.
When you do find one, you might be on to a good investment—after all, if demand persists for that commodity, there's only one way for the price to go.

Losing Faith in Gold? Read This Before You Sell / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DailyGainsLetter
Moe Zulfiqar writes: Faith in Gold“The sky is falling, sell;” “It’s useless, run away;” “There’s going to be deflation, so it won’t serve any purpose to your portfolio”—these are a few of the ways gold bullion is being described these days. The yellow metal is facing scrutiny, and those looking for it are gasping for air.

Gold Big Picture - Old Necklines Never Die… / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Rambus_Chartology
In this Weekend Report I’m going to show you the Chartology of gold, from my perspective, for the last 17 years or so. As you know I don’t pay lip service to the cycle guys, Elliot Waver’s or the many different disciplines that folks use to analyze the markets. My goal is to give you an unbiased look at the markets strictly from a Chartology perspective that is unique for our site.
In this look at gold I’m going to use several different concepts that I’ve shown you in the past to try to give you a feel of where we maybe headed. We’re going to look at neckline symmetry rails, neckline extension rails, reverse symmetry and just your everyday support and resistance points on a chart. I hope to paint a fairly accurate picture of where the gold market may find an important low based on the charting concepts listed above.

Silver, Gold and Miners ETF Trading Strategy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Precious Metals ETF Trading: It's been a week since my last gold & silver report which I took a lot of heat because of my bearish outlook. Friday's closing price has this sector trading precariously close to a major sell off if it's not already started.
On a percentage bases I feel precious metals mining stocks as whole will be selling at a sharp discount in another week or three. ETF funds like the GDX, GDXJ and SIL have the most downside potential. The amount of emails I received from followers of those who have been buying more precious metals and gold stocks as price continues to fall was mind blowing.

Gold And Silver Price Decline Not Over / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
However important underlying fundamentals are, in terms of supply v demand, they have been and continue to be of little to no use in determining when reality will reenter the market. When that happens, price will adjust and reflect the true picture of gold and silver's record [demand]accumulation.
All that matters for now is the political situation involving the moneychangers and their puppet government regimes giving them cover during the end game of their world-wide theft. Just last Thursday, we saw once again another "smash-down" in gold futures. At one of the best possible times to assure liquidity and excellent execution, 1,500 contracts were sold around 5:30 a.m., CST. Who needs to worry about getting good fills when the only objective is to intentionally move the market lower?

Gold Premium's to No Purpose / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
Stockmarket up, precious metals down. Will the final 'bugs' now throw in the towel...?
YET MORE money managers threw in the towel on gold this week, pulling the big gold trust-funds' holdings down to new four-year lows as the Dow closed at new record highs.
Typically in the grand sweep of things, markets need a final surrender to mark the end of such trends.

Why Gold and Silver are Having a Tough Time / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Clif_Droke
Ben Bernanke provided some clarity to the recent confusion surrounding the Fed’s QE stimulus program. He indicated on Tuesday that the near-zero Fed Funds rate will likely remain at that level long after ending asset purchases under quantitative easing (QE). This satisfied Wall Street and provided much relief, allowing a mini-rally to transpire in equities but providing additional selling pressure for gold and silver. Read full article...

Gold QE Tapering Hysteria / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Zeal_LLC
Already beleaguered, gold suffered another sharp drop this week. When the minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest policy meeting implied it might slow its QE3 bond-buying campaign “in coming months”, futures speculators responded with heavy selling. But their extreme gold bearishness is highly irrational, they are missing the forest for the trees. Taper or not, quantitative easing remains super-bullish for gold.
Quantitative easing is the fancy name for the Fed’s massive and unprecedented bond-buying programs of recent years. In order for normal investors to buy bonds, they first have to raise the necessary cash by selling something else. But when central banks like the Fed buy bonds, they conjure the cash out of thin air! The Fed pays the bond sellers with new money that never existed before, which is then immediately spent.
