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...

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?

HUI Gold Stocks Index Head and Shoulders Patterns / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Rambus_Chartology
Tonight I want to show you a long term monthly chart for the HUI. It seems there is alot of disbelief that if a H&S pattern is too big that it some how makes it invalid or not to be trusted. I’m curious how that rumor ever got started? Nothing could be further from the truth IMHO.

What Will Happen to Gold and Silver Stocks if the Stock Market Tanks? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Clive_Maund
If this is the best that the Precious Metals sector can do when the broad market is rising, as it has been, then what is likely to happen when the broad market drops? This is the question that is, or should be, exercising the minds of investors or would be investors in the sector right now. Today we are going to address this issue head on.
Before we look at the prospects for the Precious Metals sector itself, we are going to examine the charts for the broad market S&P500 index in an effort to determine its course in the months ahead.

Is Gold GLD ETF Cannibalizing the HUI Stocks Index? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Zeal_LLC
With gold stocks languishing near lows in a desolate sentiment wasteland, investors are wondering why this sector has fallen so deeply out of favor. One theory is capital that would have traditionally flowed into major gold producers has been diverted into the GLD gold ETF instead. Taken to extremes, this logically leads to the conclusion gold stocks will never thrive as long as GLD exists. Is it cannibalizing the miners?
Undoubtedly it is, so the real question is to what degree. Since GLD’s birth in November 2004, it has grown into a wildly successful behemoth holding a staggering $71.5b worth of physical gold bullion in trust for its shareholders. I suspect the majority of GLD purchases have been for diversifying large portfolios, for obtaining that necessary fractional exposure to the gold price. GLD is fantastic for that.

Gold Stocks vs. Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The gold and silver stocks as a group have certainly been a disaster over the past two years. Both GDX and GDXJ are down with GDXJ leading the spiral. Yet, the metals are actually higher. Gold is up quite a bit while Silver is up marginally. Because of the volatility in this sector we can certainly choose any period to emphasize a point. However, it is becoming clear that the mining equities are struggling to outperform the metals. In studying the history of this sector (both the stocks and the metals) I’ve learned two things that I will share with you today. First, the large-cap miners have no track record of consistently outperforming Gold and second, it is possible to routinely find companies which can outperform the metals.

Economic Winter Could Thaw Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: The_Gold_Report
Ian Gordon has said it before: we're on the edge of an economic maelstrom that will breathe new life into the gold exploration industry. While his cautionary tales may be beginning to sound like the boy who cried wolf, Gordon, the founder and chairman of Longwave Group, gives some persuasive evidence to support his doomsday scenario for the greater market. In this Gold Report interview, Gordon talks about what he forecasts as an unprecedented period of growth and investment in gold, which is just about to get underway as the market sinks.
The Gold Report: Ian, you believe that 2013 is likely to be an economic and financial disaster. But you have been saying similar things for years. Why is 2013 likely to be different?

Gold Miners vs. the S&P - Surprising Conclusions / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Casey_Research
We often hear the claim that gold producers have not met investors' expectations for the past couple years. While there are many potential reasons for this, one explanation for their underperformance lies in the fact that producers diluted their share structures, leaving shareholders with smaller gains than they would have otherwise harvested.

Head & Shoulder Tops in Gold and Silver Stocks ..Is the Fat Lady Singing ? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Submissions
Rambus writes: In the weekend report we looked at some of the precious metals stock indexes that are showing some massive H&S topping patterns. These type of patterns are distribution patterns and the bigger they are the bigger the move down in time and price. Could these massive topping patterns be the end of the bull market for the precious metals stocks? I think on a one or two year basis these H&S topping patterns could put a big dent in the bull market for the precious metals stocks if the necklines are broken to the downside which remains to be seen yet.

America's Modern-Day Nevada Gold Rush / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: The_Gold_Report
These days, monetary policy moves stock prices more than economic data releases, says Mike Niehuser, founder of Beacon Rock Research. While the potential for higher gold prices is compelling, the decline in the number of discoveries and grades of resources makes mining stock selection intriguing. Niehuser has scoped out jurisdictions and finds the stars are aligning to put Nevada on top. In this interview with The Gold Report, Niehuser shares the names of companies that he feels have the right stuff.
The Gold Report: Now that the election is in the rearview mirror and we are well into the new year, what are your thoughts about gold prices and mining stocks for 2013?

Global Silver-Mining Trends / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Zeal_LLC
Over the course of silver’s secular bull, the miners have steadily increased production in order to meet fast-growing demand. And in 2012 mine production exceeded 24k metric tons (770m+ ounces), an all-time production high and 28% increase over 2001. As an investor interested in silver’s structural fundamentals, this rapid growth begs a question. Where in the world is this silver coming from?
In our modern information age we can ask questions like this and easily find the answer. And we need look no farther than the data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey. The USGS is a global authority in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information on both domestic and international mineral supply and demand. And for silver it dutifully provides annual detailed country-level mine production data.

Gold Stocks Final Bottom Coming / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In my articles you've heard me talk about accumulating on weakness, buying support, being patient and waiting for better opportunities. Folks, this next week is one of those opportunities. The mining stocks have been a disaster if you've invested in the average fund, GDX or GDXJ. If you've invested in the wrong stocks, they've been a total disaster and you now hate the sector forever. We've certainly been surprised by this protracted struggle. However, the gold shares are set to test a major bottom and could be on the cusp of a major reversal which could begin as soon as next week.

Encouraging Gold Mining Stocks Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
In our updates we regularly reply to questions regarding gold and silver investments that we receive from our subscribers. The question that we received this week along with our reply provides a good introduction to more detailed analysis of the precious metals mining stock charts.
Q: Back in early November of last year, with gold at 1685 and the Dow at 13,100, GDX was at 50. Compared to today, GDX has to gain $5 just to return to that status, where miners were already beaten down.

Contrarian Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Zeal_LLC
Before investors can sell high and multiply their wealth, they first have to buy low. The lower any trade’s entry price, the greater its ultimate profits. The best time to buy low is when stocks are deeply out of favor, when few others are willing to buy. And that certainly describes gold and silver stocks today. This sector is universally loathed despite fantastic fundamentals, offering vast opportunities for brave contrarians.
Contrarian investing is simple in concept, yet very difficult in execution. The fortunes of stocks flow and ebb, their prices rising and falling. After they’ve risen, they quickly become popular. Everyone wants them and bids up their prices. That’s when it feels the best to buy, so that’s when the great majority of investors rush in to chase the rally. But following the herd leads to buying high, the recipe for failure.

The Character of the Gold Mining Sector is Changing / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Toby_Connor
The big news for Thursday is that gold formed a weekly swing. Considering that the QE4 manipulation stretched the intermediate cycle way beyond its normal timing band, this weekly swing should confirm that the yearly cycle low is complete.

How Green Are Gold's Blue-Chip Mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Casey_Research
Andreay Dashkov writes: Disenchanted with gold's lackadaisical performance over the last year, some investors are losing interest in the equities that are supposed to provide leverage to the metal's price movements. The press has added fuel to the fire by increasingly attacking gold-mining CEOs for rising production costs and weak stock prices. This has driven some investors to pursue ETFs or other vehicles as a replacement for gold stocks, while others have simply thrown their hands up and left the precious-metals space. Is this overreaction or rational decision-making?

Hugo Chavez: Dictator vs. Gold Investors / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013
By: Dudley_Baker
What’s really happening in Venezuela with gold properties?
Is Chavez, alive or dead? Will he return? How will these answers affect the gold properties in Venezuela?
From our friends at ResourceInvestingNews.com they reported in a January 7, 2013 article:
“Chavez seized 988 companies between 2002 and August 2011, according to a report from Conindustria, a Venezuelan industry chamber. He also nationalized the country’s gold mines in September 2011. At the time, the biggest foreign miner operating in Venezuela was Rusoro Mining (TSXV:RML), which had two producing mines in the country, along with 10 exploration properties. The seizure sent Rusoro’s stock tumbling 16.7 percent on the day the announcement was made, according to Mining.com.

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.
