Gold And Silver – Follow What The Market Says, Not What Others Say About The Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Michael_Noonan

The article title is a wise message from a voice in the past. The best way to follow
what the market says is to read its net effect as derived from the collective of all
market participants that have made a buy or sell commitment. If it does not show
up in the chart, then what is being expressed is an opinion about the market.

Stock Market Inflationary Rally May Spark Breakout In Gold and The Undervalued Junior Miners / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Jeb_Handwerger

The equity markets are soaring to new highs following the Fiscal Cliff deal reached recently in Washington which continues to raise the debt and kick the can down the road. It is just what we expected a few months ago...a conciliatory deal that will delay the inevitable for the time being.

Immediately, after the bill was passed by the House, Obama went back on his multi-million vacation to Hawaii after signing an executive order to increase pay for Washington politicians.

Why Gold Stocks Are the Best Income Opportunity of 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: DailyWealth

Jeff Clark writes: Last year, I made an outrageous prediction...

I said gold stocks would be the best income opportunity of 2012. The stocks were so cheap, the downside risk was minimal... and the income you could collect from selling options against your shares was enough to generate enormous returns – even if the stocks didn't go anywhere.

Gold and the HUI Gold Bugs Stocks Index Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Vin_Maru

In spite of the recent down turn in the price of gold and silver, we still remain bullish on precious metals and its equities. Regardless of its paper manipulated price (if you believe this is currently happening), history has shown us that gold is money (not fiat currencies) and it is no one else's liabilities. When it comes to gold, as always we suggest owning the physical metals outright fully paid for and stored safely where only you have access to it. If you have a significant holding in the physical, it may be wise to diversify your gold internationally in order to minimize country and political risk by reading Getting Your Gold out of Dodge (GYGOOD). Gold seems to be gaining strong support under $1650 which should most likely hold, so now is a great time to be adding to physical holdings.

Profit From Power Elite's Key Sector Price Inflation With Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: DeepCaster_LLC

“The future price tag of printing six trillion dollars’ worth of checks comes in the form of inflation and devaluation of currencies either relative to each other, or to commodities in less limitless supply such as oil or gold.

Zero-bound interest rates, QE maneuvering, and ‘essentially costless’ check writing destroy business models and stunt investment decisions which offer increasingly lower ROIs and ROEs.”

Monetary Inflation and the Real Silver Price Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Zeal_LLC

Silver bearishness has naturally mushroomed following this metal’s rough December.  A growing chorus is declaring silver’s secular bull finished, implying it must have peaked after silver’s dazzling April 2011 surge.  But secular bulls climax in popular speculative manias, which dwarf the silver action of a couple springs ago.  Looking at silver in real inflation-adjusted terms drives home the point its bull is far from over.

The Great Gold and Silver Bull Cycle and the Money Supply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Inflationary cycles tend to result in notable bullish moves in the prices of precious metals like silver, and such times have always created powerful political factions. 

Furthermore, massive credit expansion and an extreme use of money printing presses provide incredible wealth-accumulating opportunities for sectors of the economy.

What do Silver to Gold and Platinum to Gold Ratios Tell Us? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: P_Radomski_CFA

We at Sunshine Profits are deeply convinced that the bullish fundamentals for the precious metals market are still in place, and are not easily put off by recent corrections. But how to tell which asset will outperform the others when the market finally starts to rally strongly? You might have noticed that we quite often use various ratios on our charts - such a technique is called Relative Strength Analysis and helps an analyst tell which of the two assets (or group of assets) is likely to do better in the future. This may be done to compare two particular assets (such as silver:gold ratio) or two groups of assets (such as the general stock market and precious metals stocks - SPX:GDX ratio).

Silver meantime drifted back below $30.70 an ounce this morning, while stock markets were little changed and commodities edged lower along with US Treasury bond prices.

Gold and Silver Bullion and Stocks Forecast 2013

This analysis is excerpted from part of yesterday's subscriber update in which we presented our outlook for Gold, Silver and GDX/HUI. When making forecasts and writing outlooks, analysts must look at a multitude of things. We usually begin by examining the macro landscape via inter market analysis. How are the various markets trending? Which are lagging? Where are the divergences? As we begin 2013, there has been an important shift in regards to precious metals that few analysts have picked up on. The rest of our analysis filters down from this discovery.

Why Gold’s Worth Buying on Dips / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: InvestmentContrarian

George Leong writes: Gold is currently in a holding pattern at below $1,700 an ounce, but one thing is for sure: in spite of what some pundits are saying, it’s not time to sell yet. In an interview on CNBC, Marc Faber, also known as “Dr. Doom,” suggested that gold could correct 10% or more to as low as $1,550 or $1,600. (Source: “‘Dr. Doom’ Faber Sees Possible 10% Gold Correction,” Yahoo! Finance via CNBC, January 8, 2012.) While I’m not as negative, I do believe gold could retest support between $1,600 and $1,625 in the near term. Failure to hold could see a sub-$1,600 price.

Will Gold Euro Rollercoaster Continue? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: GoldSilverWorlds

Forex Traders writes: At some point in every tutorial on investing, the relationship between Gold and the U.S. Dollar is referred to as an inverse correlation, meaning that as the value of the Dollar goes down, then an investor would expect the value of Gold to go in the opposite direction. As with any “rule”, there are always exceptions, but if the Fed expands the money supply, it is a safe bet that Gold might appreciate, since it is priced in Dollars on the global market. If you dilute the Dollar’s value, Gold must go up to compensate.

Is There Really a Danger of Gold Being Confiscated? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Readers may not agree with our conclusions on the confiscation of gold, but we emphasis this reality. If we are wrong you will still own your gold. If we are right and you have not taken the right steps to guard against confiscation and the personal dangers to you individually, you will lose your gold if not suffer the penalties the "Gold Confiscation Order" brings with it.

Gold and Silver Shares: Nightmare or Investor Opportunity? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Dudley_Baker

The last four or five years have been a nightmare for many investors, especially those of us investors in the natural resource stocks. Even though gold and silver rallied to new highs in 2011 most shares did not follow and have in fact greatly lagged in performance.

Of course during this time there have been some companies that have performed well and were big winners but we know, as well as you, that on balance the natural resource sector has been a nightmare for investors of the shares of juniors and exploration companies. Frankly, that's putting it nicely.

Hedge Fund Disasters Are Hurting Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Michael_Swanson

The price of gold has been kept down by hedge fund redemptions. These redemptions will end in a week and after that a nasty hand that has been holding the price of gold down will be lifted. As we begin this new year news is starting to trickle out demonstrating that hedge funds as a whole have had a horrid performance last year.

Platinum Market Analysis and Forecast for 2013 / Commodities / Platinum

By: The_Gold_Report

Violent strikes and supply disruptions in South Africa put platinum in the headlines last year, and the metal spent 2012 selling at a discount to gold. Is a platinum discount the new normal? How will the market shift in the labor strike fallout? And will mining asteroids transform supply fundamentals? CPM Group Platinum Analyst Erica Rannestad met with The Metals Report to share her price and cost forecasts for 2013 and discuss the supply and demand trends to watch this year.

The Metals Report: Across the mining sector, investors are concerned with rapidly rising costs. How did the 2012 strikes in South Africa affect operating costs in the platinum group metals (PGM) mining industry specifically?
