Gold Price Correction Separating the Men from the Boys / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Profit_Confidential

Is gold bullion becoming the commodity the mainstream media and analysts love to hate?

After all, views of the metal are becoming increasingly bearish. But I believe the most important factor as to why gold bullion is actually attractive at this point is being ignored; gold bullion becomes more valuable as the paper money created by central banks increases in circulation.

By: Bill_Bonner

Stocks up another 53 points on the Dow yesterday. Gold down another $5.

The Dow is above its 14,000 peak; gold is below $1,600/oz.

I'll come back to this in a minute. First...

Now is the Time to Buy Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Since the end of December we’ve been writing about the coming bottom in precious metals. Our forecast for 2013 was to see a low in Q1 and then continued consolidation until the end of the summer in which Gold could be in good position to break $1800. That forecast remains largely intact, although it appears the mining stocks will bottom quite a bit lower than we thought two months ago and even five months ago. Three weeks ago we noted that a potential final bottom was on the way. After beating around the bush we are ready to say that now is the time to begin buying and we’ll show you why.

How Strong is Gold Demand? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Eric_McWhinnie

Since hitting all-time nominal highs above $1,900 an ounce, the price of gold has declined and essentially traded sideways for over a year. The price action has discouraged some investors, but others are still purchasing the precious metal in record amounts.

Junior Gold Stocks Flat Lining / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: HRA_Advisory

Juniors are still in flat-line mode (on a good day). A bunch of new resource estimates were not enough to make much difference though in my experience they often don't. There are enough people tracking most stocks that the market tends to have a fair idea of what a resource estimate will look like. Weakening gold and silver prices dampened the impact of even good numbers.

The Herd is Wrong About Gold, Wrong About Alaska / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Casey_Research

My message lately has been very simple: buy low.

And do it now.

The essential formula for investing, as you know, is to buy low and sell high. So easy to say, so hard to do.

It takes real mettle to be a successful contrarian, and it's precisely because so many investors are so nervous about our market today that it's a buyer's market.

Gold Sitting at Ledge of Support Cliff / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: EconMatters

A Rough Start for 2013

Well Gold hasn`t had a particularly good start to the year, in fact, a good pairs trade would be going long the S&P 500 and short the Gold market for a nice 12% return in two months. But many Gold Investors are not yet ready to throw in the towel for 2013, and some even have targets in the 2000 an ounce area, and think this pullback, although significant, represents an excellent buying opportunity.

Keep Your Head When Investing In Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Jeb_Handwerger

"If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you...And--you'll be a Man, my son!" ~ If by Rudyard Kipling

Today a news item from the Wall St. Journal crossed my desk entitled, "A Fearful Time For Gold". Then I read another article entitled, "S&P500 In Longest Winning Streak Since 2004." These articles are an indication of what the majority is thinking and may be a contrarian buy alert for my readers.

GOLD – In Your Self-Interest / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: DeviantInvestor

It is in your self-interest to own gold and silver!

This may not have been true from 1982 - 2000, but it definitely is true today and will be true as long as central banks are aggressively monetizing debt ("printing money") and devaluing their currencies.

Gold and the Bankster Panic Crash of 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Andrew_McKillop

TRASH ALL MONEYS
Normally this slogan comes from Anarchists or possibly Marxists, and more recently in Europe, since 2008, from Black Bloc groups which have moved on and extended their previous protest range which covered anti-nuclear action, protest against squatter evictions, civil rights protests, even gay marriage protest, either for or against. The Bankster Bloc is now onside and active, in the same quest. Its slogan is the same as the Black Bloc: Trash All Moneys.

Gold Mining Stocks on the Cusp of a Major Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: GrowthStockWire

Jeff Clark writes: Mining stocks have suffered a rough few months.

Ever since running higher into September last year (a rally that allowed traders to take profits on several gold-stock positions) the mining sector has been trending lower. And the past month has been particularly brutal for the group...

Gold Bounces Off 7-month Low as Stocks Drop / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Adrian_Ash

The PRICE of GOLD bounced off a fresh 7-month Dollar low on Thursday morning in London, rising after their worst 1-week drop since May 2012 amid what one analyst called "a proper sell-off on the precious metal markets."

Prices for Eurozone gold investors fell to a 16-month low at €1172 per ounce, despite a further 1¢ drop in the single currency to its own 6-week low of $1.3166.

Massive Global Gold Price Manipulation Exposed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Marc_Horn

Most of the articles I read on gold and silver week after week claim the author’s analysis is correct, and the market prices are wrong (sure this must make sense to them but I don’t quiet follow)! They claim this divergence is because the market is manipulated – hence over the last 6 months I have been on a quest to find out who is manipulating gold and silver. It would appear my journey to discover who is responsible for this Mass Manipulation of Gold is over!

Why Gold is Still a Great Long-term Investment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Money_Morning

Jeff Uscher writes: There are a lot of moving parts to the gold story so let's start with the biggest takeaway: Gold prices are facing only a temporary setback.

Longer-term, as the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks begin to wind down quantitative easing and, more importantly, begin to ease interest rates back up to more "normal" levels, inflation should begin to kick in and drive gold up to new highs, making the yellow metal a great long-term investment.

By: Money_Morning

Tony Daltorio writes: As Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors pointed out not long ago, the sky is not falling on oil prices despite what the doomsayers believe.

There are two crucial countries that are behind the recent rise in oil prices: China and Saudi Arabia.

How to Profit From Accelerating Global Energy Crisis / Commodities / Oil Companies

By: Money_Morning

Kent Moors writes: For months, the signs of an impending global energy shakeup have been building.

This is not to say that we have an impending long-term shortage (it is not, in other words, a Peak Oil prophecy coming true) or that the lights are about to go out around the globe.

However, it does appear we are moving into another round of concerns for energy balance and production moving forward.

Gold Death Cross Now Unavoidable / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Bob_Kirtley

The Cross of Death is now unavoidable for gold prices as the 50dma is set to cross over the 200dma in a downward swing. The chart below shows that there was considerable damage done to gold following the last cross of death with gold prices dipping to the $1550/oz level. However this was short lived as gold recovered and managed to form a golden cross as the 50dma crossed over the 200dma in an upward swing. So it’s a crisscross situation that we find ourselves in as nervous investors, swing traders, speculators and fund managers go with the trend of day and trade accordingly.

Gold and Silver Nearing MAJOR Long Term Support / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Gold and silver along with their related miners have been under a lot of selling pressure the last few months. Prices have fallen far enough to make most traders and investors start to panic and close out their long term positions which is a bullish signal in my opinion.

My trading tactic for both swing trading and day trading thrive on entering and exiting positions when panic trading hits an investment. General rule of thumb is to buy when others are extremely fearful and cannot hold on to a losing position any longer. When they are selling I am usually slowly accumulating a long position.

Where to Buy Gold in Difficult Times / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: The_Gold_Report

According to the calendar, it is still winter and gold markets still face some tough sledding, says Jay Taylor, host of the radio show "Turning Hard Times into Good Times." Big investors are leaving the market and small investors hesitate to reenter. But in this interview with The Gold Report, Taylor points to some spots where selective investors can find value and growth potential.

The Gold Report: There seems to be a general malaise in resource investing, particularly in precious metals. What will it take to get investors back in the market?
