Gold $XAU Death Cross / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Brian_Bloom

Summary and conclusion

The behaviour of the gold share index may be an early warning sign that Quantitative Easing is about to take a back seat and be replaced by an emphasis on balancing the US budget. Should this turn out to be the case it will place a lid on “growth” of the US economy and will shift the focus of the authorities towards the desire to maintain the economy’s equilibrium. This will allow for a slow (multi year) deflation of the debt bubble but will be hostile to the mainstream investment world. Wealth Creation activities will offer (high business risk) investment opportunities.

Gold Investor Profit and Protection Despite Banking Cartel Intervention / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: DeepCaster_LLC

“Western central banks conceal their gold loans and swaps because information about them is ‘highly market-sensitive and accountability about them would hinder secret currency market interventions by central banks, according to a confidential report by the International Monetary Fund obtained this week by GATA. …

“This is, the explicit but secret policy of Western central banking toward gold is to deceive and manipulate markets, as GATA long has complained. …

“…they considered that the Special Data Dissemination Standard reserves  template should not require the separate disclosure of such information but should instead treat all monetary gold assets, including gold on loan or subject to swap agreements, as a single data item.”

Gold Bullion Christmas Dinner / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Jan_Skoyles

Aside from the presents, getting the biggest Turkey in the shop, making sure the house is warm and festive and the compulsory family argument the other tradition at Christmas is the vast expense it costs us all.

Christmas has always been expensive but over the past few years it seems to have really crept up. Whilst factors such as weather conditions are frequently blamed on meat and vegetable price hikes our research shows that when the Christmas dinner is priced in gold oz or gold grams, rather than British pounds or dollars, prices haven’t crept up anywhere near as much, and in some cases are going down in price.

Gold & Silver Fall Hard from 2-Week High as New Fed Easing Spooks Traders / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Adrian_Ash

GOLD and silver fell hard overnight and early Thursday in London, dropping as European stock markets also fell and the US Dollar rose despite yesterday's latest "easy money" policy from the Federal Reserve.

Holding its key interest rate in the record low range of 0% to 0.25% for the 48th month running, the Fed's open market committee swapped its guidance for any rise in interest rates from mid-2015 to a target unemployment rate of 6.5% or below.

What Happens to Gold If the U.S. Dollar Does Not Collapse? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: P_Radomski_CFA

We follow up on our essay on gold and the dollar collapse from December 4, 2012. In that essay, we speculated what could happen with gold if the U.S. defaulted on its debt in real terms. Today, we describe possible scenarios in the opposite case where the greenback is not destroyed in spite of excessive debt.

The “imminent” collapse of the dollar has been spoken of years now. Since 2008 this talk has been fueled largely by consecutive rounds of quantitative easing (QE). With QEs at $2.25 trillion and counting, the number of borrowed dollars is hitting new highs and it’s no wonder that the ability of the U.S. to sustain such programs in the future is being questioned.

Why Silver May Soon Be Heading for $40 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: InvestmentContrarian

George Leong writes: Silver continues to hold strong on the charts, with a possible upcoming move at the tough $35.00 resistance level and potential retest of the $40.00 level. The aggressive upward move has largely been driven by the move in gold, along with speculative trading.

Buying in the white metal is generally in line with global economic growth, which drives the demand for industrial goods that use silver as a raw material, while it also pushes up income levels and the global demand for silver and gold jewelry.

Gold Could Rally on "Massive, Open-Ended Stimulus" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Ben_Traynor

THE WHOLESALE gold price rose to $1712 an ounce Tuesday morning in London, a few Dollars above where they started the week, while stocks edged higher and US Treasury bonds fell ahead of tomorrow's Federal Reserve policy decision.

All-but-one of 49 economists polled by news agency Bloomberg predict the Fed will buy US Treasury bonds in addition to the $40 billion per month of mortgage-backed securities purchases announced in September.

Gold is a Leading Indicator of Monetary Distress / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Darryl_R_Schoon

No matter what confidence game is being run, confidence is the necessary pre-requisite. This is why confidence indicators are so closely monitored by central bankers. If consumers and businesses lack confidence, they will not partake of the central banker’s credit; a necessary step in the indebting of otherwise willing victims.

Will the Government Confiscate Your Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Money_Morning

Whenever I write about gold, I can be certain of two things.

First and foremost, I know that readership will be exceptionally high. The interest in gold, silver and other precious metals is as intense as I've ever seen.

And, second, I can be sure that, in the days that follow, I'll receive a slew of e-mails, phone calls and letters from folks asking some variation of the same three questions:

Renewed Interest In Gold As A Financial Asset / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Peter_Schiff

Valentin Petkantchin writes: You may be among those investors who had the opportunity, but did not seize it, to buy gold cheap in the early 2000s. You may also be willing, but hesitant, to do so at current prices, while still desiring the "anti-crash insurance" it represents.

However, you should be aware that the yellow metal is increasingly valued as a reserve asset, which will tend to push the price up, independently of all other factors. Due to new regulations, you may also have to bid in the future alongside financial institutions, including several banks, to acquire it.

Gold, and the Value of the U.S. Dollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Alasdair_Macleod

I very rarely criticise the work of others, but I am going to make an exception in the case of Paul van Eeden, of Cranberry Capital. Mr van Eeden, in an interview with The Gold Report stated that “the value of gold is about $900 per oz. Expectations of monetary inflation are keeping gold prices high.” He states that quantitative easing is not producing the inflation expected. The purpose of this article is to point out some of the fallacies behind his approach, and in this respect, Mr van Eeden is far from alone. And this is where a number of basic errors are committed.

Gold And Silver - Market Is Always Right, And It Leaves Footprints / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Michael_Noonan

One can take comfort in the maxim, “The Market Is Always Right,” [or "Never Wrong"],
in the realization that trading in harmony with it will make the odds of profitable
success much higher than otherwise. Understanding and reading the market’s message
is an art form, for there is nothing mechanical about it. The market is totally
unbiased, and it provides all the information it generates for everyone to see/read,
at the same time. Just because you may not “see” it, does not mean the information
is not there. If it remains hidden, then it remains hidden under the brightest light.

German Gold Repatriation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: MISES

The greatest threat to worldwide prosperity is the collapse of what remains of free-market capitalism. Not depletion of scarce natural resources. Not environmental degradation. Not global warming (or is it "climate change" now?) No, the greatest threat to worldwide prosperity is the complete collapse of what little remains of free-market capitalism. Throughout the world, and not just in totalitarian countries, the state has been advancing at the expense of economic liberty. The indispensible tool that enables the modern state to usurp our liberties is its access to unlimited amounts of fiat money controlled by central banks — i.e., the unholy alliance of the state with the central bank.

Own Physical Gold Now - While You Still Can! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: GoldCore

“Farther from care than danger…”

The title above is a quote from Sir Thomas More’s classic, Utopia, describing a people’s overconfidence in their capacity for navigation given the compass for the first time.

I found the quote used by Stanley Jevons in his 1866 classic of another sort, The Coal Question. Jevons was writing about the physical limits to coal production, and forecasting, with some accuracy, the inevitable consequence of a peak, decline and exhaustion of Britain’s coal reserves.

Gold Confiscation Lessons from the 20th Century / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Adrian_Ash

Three nasty examples of how people lost the gold they owned...

TODAY'S chatter in the trading rooms says some gold owners fear a punitive US tax hike in New Year 2013, with the Obama government targeting precious-metal investors.

Hence this month's sell-off (or so the tittle-tattle says) – akin to the move by Japanese households to sell gold in late 2011 ahead of new reporting rules for precious-metals dealers.
