Gold Culture - The Eastern Lust For Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Peter_Schiff
Having replaced savings with debt on both the national and individual levels, I think it's well past time for Westerners to take a few lessons from our creditors in the East. Many Americans consider gold a "barbarous relic," but in Asia, the yellow metal remains the bedrock of individual savings plans. This means that either greater than half of the world's population are barbarians, or they've held onto an important tradition that our culture has forgotten.

Gold Investor Notes From the Taj Mahal to Westminster Abbey / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Frank_Holmes
I recently returned from India, a nation where an incredible 600 million people are under the age of 25. That's nearly double the entire population of the U.S.!
What's amazing about that figure is that, unlike the 1970s when India had no global footprint, today's generation is increasingly gaining access to the Internet.

U.S. Dollar Crisis is the Next Black Swan, Gold Bottom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Toby_Connor
Analysts everywhere appear to be wondering what could possibly be the catalyst to turn the gold market around. I maintain it's the same catalyst that drove the gold bull market from 2001 to 2011. Out of control currency debasement.
Does anyone seriously think that we can print trillions of dollars out of thin air for five years and not eventually have something bad happen? The next the black swan is already staring us in the face. It's going to be a collapse in the purchasing power of the US dollar.

Avoid Regret: Accumulate Gold Bullion Now / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: InvestmentContrarian
Sasha Cekerevac writes: There are many ways to try to get a handle on where the market is currently trading and what’s likely to come. For me, investor sentiment is extremely important, but not for the reasons many would think.
All markets have various factors pushing them. As a contrarian investor, you want to look at taking profits during periods when investor sentiment has become extremely bullish, and accumulate positions as investor sentiment gets too pessimistic.

Prepare for Gold and Silver Price to Lift Off / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: The_Gold_Report
The end of the year is in sight, and many investors will soon be forced to take painful losses. David H. Smith, senior analyst at The Morgan Report, says that smart investors will take care to cull the weakest mining stocks from their portfolios and reinvest the proceeds in truly undervalued companies. In this interview with The Gold Report, Smith contends that once the market has worked through this process, a rejuvenated bull market in precious metals will eventually lead to a vertical rise in equities, with platinum group metals leading the way.
The Gold Report: With not many weeks left in 2013, gold remains under $1,300/ounce ($1,300/oz). Is this a bottom, or will it fall lower still?

Mark Evans writes: I thought it would be instructive to examine some real concrete factual data rather than rely on the musings, conjectures, assertions, speculations and opinions from the masters of Newspkeak, Fedspeak and Doublespeak, that are nearly devoid of facts. The misinformation, disinformation and white noise is deafening.......mission accomplished, but not in the rest of the world!

Comex Registered Gold Inventory Levels Leveraged At 65 Potential Claims Per Ounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

"A new tyranny is thus born, invisible and often virtual, which unilaterally and relentlessly imposes its own laws and rules." Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Francis I
Here are the latest inventory figures of registered (deliverable) gold in Comex approved warehouses.
I am not sure approved can really apply, given the distancing that the Comex recently instituted in the disclaimer on their inventory report.

Gold And Silver Reverse Bubble. Huge Rally When Broken. Note Bitcoin / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_Noonan
Gold and silver are in reverse bubbles, if you will, where price has been both severely distorted and suppressed by central banks, the visible tools of the otherwise hidden moneychangers, those on the top of the population pyramid who want to control and enslave the entire world in a totalitarian state of existence. Ironically, the best and only hope for the [not so] free world comes from China and Russia. It is a twisted world in which we live.

Silver and Gold as Currency Commodities / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Gold and silver have a 6000 year history for their use as a currency, and until the last century, the price of gold and silver maintained a healthy valuation ratio of 1 ounce of gold to every 15 ounces of silver.
This purchasing power ratio is strengthened by the fact that there are 17 ounces of silver for every 1 ounce of gold in the earth's crust, although physical silver stocks have dwindled as the metal is used in a wide variety of industrial applications.

Gold At a Crossroads / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Aden_Forecast
Despite its recent weakness, the world is still viewing gold as a store of value.
Overall demand remains strong. As Eric Sprott points out, " It's staggering to think demand for gold is twice global mine production."
China is now the largest gold buyer and producer in the world. And with their economy looking better, gold continues getting a big boost from this area.

Why Gold and Silver Hate Easy Money / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Clif_Droke
Ben Bernanke recently provided some clarity to the confusion surrounding the Fed’s QE stimulus program. He indicated that the near-zero Fed Funds rate will likely remain at that level long after ending asset purchases under quantitative easing (QE). This satisfied Wall Street and provided much relief, allowing a mini-rally to transpire in equities but providing additional selling pressure for gold and silver. Read full article...

Gold’s Organized Retreat, Who Benefits? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“There are insiders here who are in a position because of their inside knowledge to benefit from this intentional manipulation that is ongoing. These people, I suspect, are accumulating physical gold at artificially depressed levels.
Certainly we’ve noticed some of these suspects converting at very attractive prices their holdings of GLD into physical. This typically gets reported in the mainstream media as Soros, or name another elite, selling or reducing their stake. And this just isn’t right. For the most part these entities are converting their (paper) gold into physical (gold) in lots of 100,000 (shares of GLD). They have the wealth to do that.

Are Weak Gold Prices an Opportunity of a Lifetime Investors? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Profit_Confidential
Michael Lombardi writes: Given the recent further weakness in the price of gold bullion, should investors be running for the exit doors?
Some well-known “gold bugs” have recently turned bearish on the precious metal. But I’m on the opposite side of the spectrum; I see the pullback in gold prices as an opportunity of a lifetime for contrarian investors.
