Government Gold Confiscation 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Readers may not agree with our conclusions on the confiscation of gold, but we emphasis this reality. If we are wrong, then you will still own your gold; if we are right and you have not taken the right steps to guard against confiscation and the personal dangers to you individually, then you will lose your gold and possibly suffer the penalties, which the "Gold Confiscation Order" may bring with it.

Gold Price Forecast January 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
This week we've seen a decent rally in gold, silver and other precious metals and precious metals mining stocks, sparked off probably by the fiscal cliff deal. We have mentioned such a course of events many times and it turned out to be true. As is the case with any strong rally, there always comes a correction (or at least a consolidation) afterwards. The one that took place on Thursday was indeed of significant size but did not - in most cases - invalidate the rally. There were even cases that did not experience any correction at all, such as platinum that held remarkably well. Gold stopped at 200-day moving average, correcting around 72% of the rally.

Buying Silver in the Age of Transitory Inflation and Other Political Delusions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Spokespeople for the U.S. Federal Reserve have been saying that rising food and energy prices are transitory. They have now been pushing that illusion on the market for ten years, and some traders are still waiting for inflation to fall.
Nevertheless, the fact is that these price rises are not transitory, and they are instead permanent, systemic and intentional. Furthermore, prices are going to keep on getting higher and higher by all rational indications.

Gold Price Is Trapping Bulls In Daily Cycle / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: GoldSilverWorlds
The precious metals are not making it easy for investors here. Some are buying afraid of missing a rally, others wanting to but afraid to commit, while the rest want to see more evidence of a change in trend before trusting again. I’m in the 3rd camp, clearly the trend remains down and until proven otherwise I’m just going to need a little more convincing before getting long again.

By: Ben_Traynor
WHOLESALE Gold Prices fell below $1630 per ounce Friday morning in London, their lowest level since last August and 3.3% below where they were 24 hours earlier, while stocks and commodities also fell and the Dollar gained after Federal Reserve minutes appeared to suggest some policymakers see a case for ending quantitative easing this year.

GOLD Price Mini-Crash / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: David_Banister
Let’s make one thing clear; nobody I know including myself predicted that Gold would drop from 1690 to 1625 inside of 48 hours this week. That was not in the charts and so I won’t even pretend I was going to see that train coming through the tunnel.
With that said, let’s try to let the dust settle but take a look objectively at some possibilities.

By: Michael_J_Kosares

Seven Ways to Tell If Your Gold is Counterfeit / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Money_Morning
Peter Krauth writes:
I had just finished a walking tour of the Royal Canadian Mint when I saw it. Right there, out in the open, was a 400-ounce bar of pure gold.
It was chained to a display table and kept safe by an armed guard. At the time, in 2005, the bar was worth $220,000.
Today, the same bar is worth $667,700. In just seven years, gold prices have jumped by 203%.

Gold And Silver Very Under-Rated Opposing Forces Into 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
It is impossible not to read some source, informed or otherwise, touting the “fact” that the price of gold and silver will be [insert whatever amount you wish, here], “in the coming months”, or safer, “in the next year or two,” etc. Yet, the market does not echo those almost universally held sentiments.
Why not?
Because that is exactly what they are, sentiments. When it comes to sentiments or opinions, regardless of how close to source or how well reasoned, the market does not care. One of the better “resolutions” one can make going into 2013 and beyond it to follow the market’s lead, stop trying to lead it, waiting for it to catch up to your trading acumen.

Government Reckless Spending and Soaring Debts Should Boost Gold and Silver 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jeb_Handwerger
We are still climbing the wall of worry as wealth in the ground metals becomes increasingly cheaper in a world that is threatened with the ghosts of depressions and deflations past. We observe the doubters who regale us with the view that the miners are underperforming bullion and the general equities. They claim that housing, financials and the dollar has bottomed. We disagree and believe gold (GLD), silver (SLV) and the undervalued gold (GDXJ), silver (SIL), uranium (URA) and rare earth miners (REMX) may be bottoming and a reversal may occur in 2013.

Gold 1980 Top is Key Reference Point for Precious Metals Investors / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: P_Radomski_CFA
This essay is inspired by a question we received from one of our subscribers. On December 2012, we published an essay on gold and the dollar collapse in which we pointed out why you might profit from gold even if the U.S. dollar doesn't deteriorate completely. Today, we will elaborate on why we actually use the 1980 top in comparisons.
The fact that nobody really knows with absolute certainty where gold will really go from today onward makes people try to make their own guesses about what can happen with the yellow metal. One of the methods to do that is to look back into past situations and try to estimate if what is happening now is somehow similar to those past events.
