The Five Greatest Gold Robberies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jan_Skoyles
Gold has captured the imaginations of crime writers and film makers for years, but sometimes there are gold heists that you just can’t make up.
Thefts involving the world’s most precious metal always make headlines. Some aren’t even that daring, but it is the thought that something pirates, invaders, highway men and bandits used to risk their lives to steal, is still the ultimate loot. In newspaper reports there is always an underlying sense of admiration for the sheer brazenness of the robbers and some incredulity at what they may or may not have pulled off.

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Why I’m Even More Bullish on Gold Bullion Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: DailyGainsLetter
Mohammad Zulfiqar writes: Since the beginning of the year, one asset class has shone when compared to the stock market. I am talking about gold bullion. The yellow shiny metal’s prices are up more than 10%. The stock market, on the other hand, hasn’t performed as well. For example, year-to-date, the S&P 500 is only up by little more than one percent. With this said, I believe gold bullion can surprise investors even more this year.

All Eyes On Gold And China When Silver Could Be The Tipping Point / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Michael_Noonan
incense - [noun] an aromatic substance acquired from certain resinous trees with aromatic biotic materials which release fragrant smoke when burned. The odor produced from smoke is not the incense, but the substance that is burned.
Fundamentals for gold and silver have become the incense of reality for Westerners. The primary focus is on how many tonnes of gold China has been importing for the past many years, the depletion of available stocks from the central bankers straw men, aka the LMBA and COMEX, the number of coins sold by various governments to the public, [a relative drop in the bucket, but its reporting has a sensation factor], etc, etc.

Gold Price Off To A Good 2014 Start / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Aden_Forecast
Gold has moved to the front burner. It's risen nearly 11% from its December low to a 3+ month high. So 2014 is off to a good start.
Gold shares stronger
Gold shares are rising even more than gold. We like gold shares and recommend buying both gold and gold shares. The upside is open to at least a decent intermediate rise.

The Counter-Intuitive Gold Play / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Clif_Droke
Gold has so far enjoyed a terrific start to the New Year, most recently closing at its highest level late October 2013. It has even succeeded in closing above its psychologically significant 200-day moving average for the first time in over a year.
In summary, gold futures have risen over 12% through Feb. 18, reversing its biggest annual drop in over three decades. It also hit a three-month high on Tuesday. Holdings in ETFs backed by bullion increased by 3.2 metric tons last week - the greatest amount since December 2012 - after slumping 869.1 tons in 2013, when prices were down 28%.

Gold, Silver, Acceleration and Money Velocity / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The wall of fiat money created over the last five years is staggering, offset only by the stasis that pervades its exchange. Money velocity is the key variable that will signal the character of confidence and the next wave of inflation.Read full article... Read full article...

How to Play the Silver Price Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Investment_U
Sean Brodrick writes: Silver is rallying sharply this month, up about 14% in the last three weeks and blowing out of its old range. After it closed yesterday at $21.85, I’m confident we’ll see silver test $27 or even $30 by the end of this year.
And that will make a huge difference for undervalued silver producers.

Significant Silver Price Rallies Usually Follow Major Dow Peaks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Hubert_Moolman
Significant nominal peaks in the price of silver tend to come after significant nominal peaks in the Dow. This has been the case for the last 90 years at least.
It is no coincidence that significant silver rallies follow after significant Dow rallies end. It is simply a natural reaction to what caused the stock market rally as well as the effects of that rally. So, if it happened before, it will certainly occur again.

These Gold Charts Will Make Your Heart Beat Faster / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Frank_Holmes
Gold lovers' hearts beat faster last week, as the metal rose above $1,300 an ounce for the first time since November. The precious metal also climbed above its 200-day moving average, which hasn't happened in about a year.
ISI's John Mendelson noted that the generic gold future "rallied off its mid-December low and has decisively broken out above its downtrend line connecting the descending tops from late August, a near-term positive." The next price he's targeting is $1,350, the price gold was at in late October.

Gold and Silver Trading - Silver's Price Upswing and Euro's Resistance / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: P_Radomski_CFA
In short: In our opinion, no positions are currently justified from the risk/reward perspective.
Not much happened in gold and mining stocks this week, but silver moved higher. We sometimes saw this type of divergence right at the local tops, but it was not an extremely reliable sign. Let’s take a closer look (charts courtesy of http://stockcharts.com).

Silver Price 50 Days and 100 Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: DeviantInvestor
Maintain perspective! Skip the hope and hype, the "analysis" from vested interests, and look at facts:
- Silver closed on February 13, 2014 at $21.42.
- 50 days earlier, on December 26, 1913, it closed at $19.88
- That is about 7.7% price increase in 50 calendar days and about 11% above the December low. The silver bulls are celebrating. The silver bears are probably trying to convince themselves that a huge correction is imminent and perhaps silver will plunge to new lows.

Gold’s Comeback and Bitcoin’s Silent Crash / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Clif_Droke
It's the tale of two assets: gold, which was largely shunned by investors for most of last year, has made an impressive comeback in recent weeks. Meanwhile Bitcoin, the white-hot "investment" of 2013, has lost value in recent weeks and threatens to violate an important long-term trend line.
Gold made its return to the headlines after exceeding the psychological $1,300 level for the first time since November. Trading volumes have hit their highest level since May as U.S. investors gradually awaken to the attractiveness of gold in the near term.

Silver Prices Rise Dramatically At The End - Are We Close To The End? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Hubert_Moolman
Silver or the silver price is generally much more difficult to analyze than gold. Part of the reason is that so much less is known about the specifics of the silver market. Silver analysis is often done "through" the analysis of gold. This is not completely wrong, since silver and gold mostly moves in a similar manner - they have the same monetary properties after all.
