Paper Gold Vs. Real Gold: It's Important to Know the Difference / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024
By: Submissions
When you’re considering investing in precious metals, you are confronted with many options. Silver or gold? Bars or coins? And what in the world is an ETF?
Understanding the differences between an ETF and physical gold and silver is an important first step in the journey to precious metals investing.

Gold Price Long-Term Outlook Could Not Look Better / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024
By: Clive_Maund
I haven't written much about gold in the recent past — since the failed breakout attempt early in December — simply because I haven't known what to make of it, and that indecisiveness has been reflected in the market itself, where we have seen gold stuck in a fairly narrow trading range, but now things are starting to become a lot clearer both fundamentally and technically, and as we will proceed to see, it's not a pretty picture.
On gold's latest 6-month chart, we can see the trading range that has built out since early December, and it is now becoming clear that the pattern that has formed is a Head-and-Shoulders top that also has the characteristics of a Double or Triple Top or a Symmetrical Triangle and right now it is on the point of backing off from the Right Shoulder peak of the pattern.

By: P_Radomski_CFA
The situation in gold and gold stocks is not stagnant. Something shifted. And the implications are not minor.
A Moment of Realization
In 1993, Aerosmith released the song called “Amazing”. I really enjoyed it when it came out and some of the lyrics stuck in my mind. When I was reviewing the charts to prepare today’s analysis, I recalled a part of that song. I wasn’t sure why, as it’s been sometime when I was listening to it.

Gold Builds Support at $2,000; What's Next? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2024
By: MoneyMetals
Gold appears to have built solid support above $2,000 an ounce, but momentum to move higher in the short term has eased with uncertainty about the timing of Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Bitcoin still offers the potential to serve as a form of honest money and to end-run the central bankers and politicians who have abused the fiat system so badly.
