Hunt Brothers $50 Silver Truth, How They Capped Gold…Yes, GOLD! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldSilver
It began with a shoot-out at the Circle K Ranch. The 12 best marksmen would ride shotgun as the world’s largest, privately owned stockpile of silver was secretly transferred into secure vaults.
No, this wasn’t a shipment from Nevada’s Comstock Lode to San Francisco in the Wild West of the 1870s. This was the 1970s, and the precious metal was being moved from New York to Switzerland.

Namely, we would like to draw your attention to some interesting facts about the main point of our interest – gold.

Gold and Silver Fall as Goldman Says "Sell Commodities" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF physical gold slipped to a 3-session low in London trade on Tuesday, bouncing higher from $1455 per ounce – 1.5% below yesterday's new Dollar high – as world stock markets fell and major-economy government bond prices rose.
Commodity markets fell after the International Energy Agency said crude oil at "$100-plus...will prove incompatible with...economic recovery" and weaker than expected UK inflation data followed the International Monetary Fund's newly downgraded global growth forecasts.

By: GoldCore
Gold is marginally lower in all currencies today, except sterling, after UK retail sales plunged the most on record in March due to deepening inflation.

Gold rose 0.5% in sterling over the £900/oz mark again.

Silver, The Canary In The Gold Mine / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Silver, the Canary in the Gold Mine was my talk at a Gold Standard Institute symposium in Canberra, Australia in November 2008. The topic could well describe today’s gold and silver markets.
Today, both silver and gold are achieving record highs but silver’s accelerating price indicates silver may indeed be the canary in the gold mine, the leading indicator for gold’s long-awaited explosive move upwards, a move the Fed and major bullion banks have colluded since the 1980s to prevent.

Gold and Silver Breaks Out: Technical Targets Being Monitored / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Gold broke out of its 6 month consolidation and cup and handle pattern. The gold bulls are now in control and short covering should begin to cause an explosive move to my late January target of $1600 on gold and $40 on silver. In late January, gold and silver were in a sell-off and many were predicting lower prices as moving averages were broken. Now we are on our way to the January target in gold of $1600. Many ask what to do as they sit on hefty gains.

By: Nick_Barisheff
Investors both large and small deserve ultimate safety for safe-haven bullion investments
A violent home invasion and the theft of $750,000 in silver bars from the private vault of a 52-year-old British Columbia man in January underscores the need for safe storage alternatives for bullion.

By: Adrian_Ash
WHOLESALE-MARKET gold prices rose at the start of Asian trade on Monday, touching new all-time highs above $1476 per ounce before slipping 0.4% as world stock markets held flat and European Brent crude oil ticked back to $125 per barrel.
"The silver market went nuts," according to one Hong Kong dealer, with "swift buying" pushing spot silver prices to a fresh 31-year high above $42 per ounce.

Gold Breaks into New High Ground / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Into new high ground and no resistance ahead. The only two things to keep an eye on are the global upheavals and the U.S. $. The upheavals are unpredictable but the U.S. $ seems to have only one long term direction, lower. So, the worst long term scenario for gold is a 50/50 upside potential.

U.S.Government Austerity Budget and the Gold Bubble, Sell Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
What a wonderful and glorious time to talk with you. With a reduction in U.S. government spending to avoid a shutdown of the government, greatest political change in 60 years of U.S. history has taken another step. What are the implications of this historic event? Will the trajectory of U.S. financial mismanagement be changed? Some possibility of that happening does exist, and must be acknowledged. Remember, that in all things related to investments, the second derivative dominates. The second derivative of U.S. government debt may become negative. However, change is slow, and we still need to deal with today’s speculative bubble in precious metals.

Balancing the Budget with Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Today is Friday, April 8, 2011. Japan was hit with another earthquake this week. Portugal joined Greece and Ireland for a ECB bailout rendering them a ward of the EU state. The US Congress has yet to agree on a budget for the fiscal year as they haggle over spending cuts. The Republican plan is to leave the citizens with $15,800,000,000,000 dollars of debt in another year and the Democrat plan is to leave the citizens with $15,900,000,000,000 dollars of debt in another year. The current WHO (White House Occupant) has proposed a budget with a deficit of $1.6 trillion. Added to the current debt of $14.3 trillion, I extrapolate the debt in another year to be $15.9 trillion. So, our ‘representatives’ are arguing over whether or not to cut a paltry $100 billion from the proposed budget. Let’s be honest. Does it really matter any more?

Will Silver Become Money Like Gold Again? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
We have always referred to silver as the 'long shadow' of gold because its price moves with gold's. When the gold price rises, silver rises more. When the gold price falls, silver falls further, but they move in sync. Why?

Breakouts in Gold and Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The story of gold is as rich, lustrous and complex as the metal itself. It is as ancient as the Egyptian Pharos and modern as the mirrors coated with gold which astronomers use to capture images of the universe. The metal's mounting value is connected directly to its economic role as a stable alternative to paper currencies, and its rise should speak volume about the health of the global monetary system.

Gold Mania: Are We There Yet? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Casey_Research
By Louis James, Casey International Speculator
It’s understandable that people want to know where the precious metals market is headed next. And not just because big fluctuations can be nerve-wracking, but because it makes a big difference how you’d invest today if, for instance, you think there’s a big correction ahead (save cash to buy cheaper) or not (load up and ride the wave).

If Interest Rates Rise, Will Gold Go Down and the Dollar Rise? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
So frequently today we rely on economically established perceptions that fail time and again, simply because the conditions in which they were established have changed. One of the economic clichés is that exchange rates will rise if interest rates rise. You can be sure that if there was still a Spanish Peseta or Greek Drachma and they were paying the sort of interest rates their sovereign bonds were paying now, these currencies would still be falling, why? Many feel that if interest rates rise, gold would automatically fall. But is that going to be true? There's a great deal more involved to this story than just interest rates!

Gold Bull Market Technicals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold has much to celebrate. Not only did it just hit new all-time nominal highs, its secular bull was born exactly 10 years ago this week! It’s enough to bring a tear to the eye of the bold contrarian investors who’ve been riding this mighty bull market for an entire decade. Much has changed since I first started recommending physical gold coins as long-term investments in May 2001, when gold traded at $264.
