Silver Investors Should Wait for $28 Buying Opportunity At Dollar Rally End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: The_Gold_Report
Clive Maund returns to The Gold Report to provide some keen insight into the U.S. dollar's recent surge. "Be patient," he says, "because once the dollar rally is over, an excellent buying opportunity will be in the offing." Clive says the Fed is doing all it can to get investors out of commodities and into Treasuries before it unleashes QE3, and with it a new round of inflationary pressure.

By: GoldCore
Gold and silver have snapped their three day losing streak so far this morning and both are higher in all currencies. Sterling has fallen on this morning’s very poor UK employment data.

Silver Price is the Least You Should Worry About / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: I heard some disturbing reports about silver supply last month that I felt every investor should know. And while precious metals are currently in correction mode, the long-term concerns with supply won't disappear anytime soon. In attempt to get a handle on the bullion market, I spoke to Andy Schectman of Miles Franklin, who has contacts that run deep in the industry. What he sees everyday might just compel you to count how many ounces you own...

Gold Outperformance, Affluence is Our Down Fall / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Many moons ago during our back packing phase, we were snorkeling off a lovely beach in Bali, Indonesia, when we turned a corner to find ourselves opposite a private beach belonging to a rather posh hotel. The high paying guests were somewhat surprised to see us bobbing around in the surf. There was one particular gent who was all the way up to his ankles in sea water, holding a cigar in one hand and large glass of what looked like whiskey in the other hand.

By: Jason_Kaspar
“Gold bugs” routinely solicit my prediction regarding the future gold price, assuming I must be an “educated” gold bug since my hedge fund happens to maintain large gold exposure.

Silver Wanted At $50, But Not At $35 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
Aren't silver investors funny?? - they were raving bullish when the price was close to $50, now that it's down about $15 and near to $35 they are despondent. In the words of that famed alien with pointed ears, this is "highly illogical". Here on earthbound www.clivemaund.com we have a simpler term for it: "plain nuts". While picking an exact top or bottom is never easy, you can always rely on the collective behaviour of idiots as a guide. So the fact that they are now wary is good news for silver.

Gold Bounce Goes Nowhere / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Well, the gold bounce went nowhere, momentum and volume action were unimpressive. So, what’s next? I would suspect more downside action before things settle down, consolidate and then move back into new highs. But that’s only a hope, not a prediction; unless it happens in which case it was a prediction. An analyst’s first priority is to write in such a way as to be able to say “I told you so” regardless of what happens.
