What Just Happened to Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Both gold and silver experienced historic sell offs during the last few trading sessions. Although market commentary and analyst opinions have been varied, very few outside of the precious metals community have come close to discerning the reality of this move.
Without a working knowledge of price discovery, most people will fail to grasp the meaning of what just happened.

When Gold Has No Friends / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Andy_Sutton
There are likely, at minimum, half a dozen reasons for the swift correction in precious metals over the past week. The real reason might be one, two, or even all of what I’m going to lay out below.
I’m going to go way out on a limb here. Right now gold has no friends. Even some of its biggest proponents are declaring the bull market to be over. The deflationists are loving this as it gives them ammo. I have gone on the record several times as stating there is no way we can have hyperinflation given what currently exists as a monetary reality. And I’ve also explained why, while readily admitting that could certainly change. That said; I am not a deflationist either. I recognize that regardless of how the dollar standard ends, the banksters will arrange the chess pieces so that they win. And in the arrangement of those chess pieces is the accumulation of vast amounts of gold, and to a lesser extent, silver. That is a fact that cannot be denied.

Score: Banksters Two, Gold & Silver Zero / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
Friday the 12th and Monday the 15th of April were memorable days. It is clear that both silver and gold paper markets were taken down via a devastating attack of naked short selling that triggered margin calls that accelerated the decline. Gold and silver investors panicked, and some sold into the lows.
We have been there before. Using SLV prices (slightly lower than spot silver), a high near $21 was reached in March of 2008. Markets crashed, both stocks and metals investors were seriously hurt, and the banksters received a bailout – TARP. Ancient history – but the point is that, in 2008, silver dropped about 55% from its high price, while gold lost about a third from its high price.

Why Gold Price Really Crashed and What You Can Do About It / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: The news is great at telling us what's happening. But knowing what's happening is a lot different than understanding what happened - and that's what makes the difference between an average investor and truly great investors.
Gold's crash Monday is a perfect example. The media was falling all over itself as one pundit after the other came on TV to talk about how gold was falling and how far off its highs it was. Few tied the devastating slide to real economic events -- let alone made the connection to actual trading.

End of the Gold and Silver Bull Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
On Friday we witnessed a great plunge in gold (almost $80 – from $1560.30 to $1480.50) and silver (almost $1.7 – from $27.58 to $25.89) and we are seeing even lower prices this week.
No matter if we take gold from the USD perspective, average non-USD perspective, or gold priced in individual non-USD currencies, we will see that the price has broken below the key support levels.
What about silver? On Friday it moved insignificantly below some support levels (intra-day 2011 and 2012 lows) and at this time silver confirms the bearish outlook for gold. In fact it’s only a few dollars above its 2008 high.

Bitcoin Price Bubble Heard 'Round The World / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jeff_Berwick
Justin O’Connell writes: For many of our TDV Newsletter readers, who seek a Perpetual Traveler lifestyle, storing tangible wealth throughout the world remains problematic.
For this reason and others, the Bitcoin price does not matter, just as it doesn't really matter with the gold and silver markets. As I write this, silver is below $24, yet US wholesale distributors CNT and Dillon Gage are out of the metal. Also, as I write this, despite the most massive volume ever in Bitcoin, virtually all on the sell-side, Bitcoin holds $50.

Hold Stocks and Sell Gold - a Really Dumb Idea / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

Gold Investing - Here's What to Do Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Money_Morning
Monday's drop in gold prices was the largest one-day plunge since February 1983 - which led many of those investing in gold to bail on the yellow metal.
