Silver Giant Double Top Suspected / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
While silver is certainly in position to break out to new highs, which would be expected to lead to a substantial advance, its chart at this time should certainly give cause for concern to the more cautious and prudent investor.

Gold Imminent Reversal and Retreat, Stocks Bear Market Pattern Developing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
A great way to make yourself popular is to tell people what they want to hear, and the trick is to make yourself scarce before the wheel comes off, or at least slip quickly into the background when it does. Thus you’ll find no shortage of articles out there telling you what a great investment gold is and the countless reasons for buying it. They are “playing to the gallery” which is normal near a market peak. However, most of the evidence that we are examining points to an imminent reversal and retreat - not a bearmarket though as the bullmarket in gold is thought to have much further to run and will probably end in a spectacular parabolic blow off with prices at dizzying heights compared to today, but this is still a long way ahead of us - over a shorter time horizon we may first have to deal with a significant correction.

Gold Price Recovery Suspect / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Although gold has recovered from its mid-May plunge the strength of the recovery has been very weak and the recovery itself is suspect because of that. Although gold remains BULLISH for all time periods that may not last long. Be on guard for any surprises.

Gold, GLD, GDX and SLV, Does November 2009 Repeat in July 2010? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Last week I offered some analysis using the True Strength Index indicator on the daily and hourly charts of GLD, GDX and GDXJ. This week I would like to offer what I believe to be a realistic look at what could be headed our way in the upcoming month of July. The charts in this article were made using the publically available software at FreeStockCharts.com.
The best way to understand the big picture is to look at the big picture, so let’s do that. What follows is a weekly chart of GLD. I set the time frame back over a year and use the True Strength Index indicator below the weekly price data.

Will the Gold Price Rise in the Short-Term? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Please note that this article will not give you a detailed chart of future gold prices or specific price levels, but it will help you to understand the short-term gold price.
The G-8 & G-20 meetings are scheduled for this weekend and the press and observers are disappointed before they have even begun. Division between the U.S. approach to growth and sovereign debt containment and repayment and the European approach should be added to fears that sovereign debt cut backs will not be achieved in the end. The global financial mood is depressing and giving rise to falling confidence in the future of the global economy.

Stashing Gold Into Holes in the Ground / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
"The careful burial of this treasure probably means the owner intended to come back, but for whatever reason was unable to do so..."
DONT KNOW about you, but market depth is pretty poor down at the end of my garden. Not least at midnight, when the gnomes are asleep, rather than quoting 10% bid-offer spreads on gold coins.

Gold’s Rise And The Dow’s Fate / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
In a previous article called “Gold, Dow And The South African Rand” (dated 24 May 2010), I stated: “we will probably have more of these scary drops in the gold price as we continue into this volatile phase of the gold bull market. The good news for gold bugs is that we will also have some huge up days, and the general trend will be very much up.” If you look at the gold chart, you will notice that despite the volatility in the gold price since then, the trend is definitely up. When these scary drops happen, many people start panicking and eventually get “shaken off” this great bull market.Read full article... Read full article...

Path to Gold Backed Currency / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
SDR Strawman & Gold-Backed Euro - The world faces challenges and uncertainty these days like perhaps never before in modern history. Broken insolvent banking systems match the insolvent homeowners living in despair but with newfound hope from simply not paying home mortgages in large numbers. Henry David Thoreau could actually run for the US Senate, as his platform of civil disobedience is more widely embraced with each passing month. Over a quarter million Bank of America home mortgage holders have not made a loan payment in a year, yet still occupy rent-free dwellings. The European sovereign debt has shaken the entire government financial structures, offering a preview of what comes to the sacrosanct Untied States and Untied Kingdom. In its wake, a fire is lit under gold as a recognized safe haven asset that has no debt attachment or counter-party risk.

When Will the SEC Prosecute for Gold Market Price Rigging? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Michael Schmidt writes: For thousands of years, gold has been a central monetary component of most civilizations. It is durable and has been able to retain its value even to this day. That, in and of itself, is extremely remarkable considering how many paper currencies that have went the way of the dodo.

Metals Industry Confidence Creeping Back as Australian Prime Minister Put on the Defensive / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Breaking news in Australia as the Prime Minister falls on the super tax sword. PM Rudd is going to fight this leadership challenge however this is still a great moment for Australia. The people have already voted forcing the government to shift to a new leader tomorrow. The mining industry in Africa and Canada, Brazil and elsewhere will weep a few tears of sorrow. But Labor is not dead yet and we have to see if they will now distance themselves from Henry, Rudd and the RSPT. This writer could not imagine that they could do anything else but run as far from this tax proposal as they can.

Why Many Analysts See Gold Going As High As $10,000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
My first reaction when I read an article on this site by Arnold Bock - articulating why gold would go to $10,000 – by 2012 no less - was amazement. Who in their right mind would suggest that gold would eventually reach $2,500, let alone $5,000 or even $10,000? Well, I did some investigation and, believe it or not, Bock is in lofty company. Many respected individuals, such as David Rosenberg, Peter Schiff, Harry Schultz, Rob McEwen and many others, have come to the same conclusion. Below is a partial list of such individuals with sound reasons to substantiate their views.
