Gold And Silver China’s Pivotal Role: More Questions Than Answers. Not So For Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
The belligerent United States continues to assert its fading but still lethal destruction around the globe. Just one guess who is behind the Saudi invasion of defenseless Yemen, covered here previously, [See What Moved Price? Ba el-Mandeb ]? The Military Industrial Complex [MIC], finds it financially rewarding to sell all the military might necessary to wage war of any kind, anywhere around the world. After all, when the primary country you occupy has over 6,000 retail stores closing, domestic business is not doing very well, so the federal government needs income from somewhere.

Gold and Silver Management of Perception - The Upside of Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
You don’t need to know about the macro-financial machinations. It’s connected to the money - but it’s the other way around.
It’s connected to fragility and overextension. The debt is all a reflection of the war on real money and wealth - by proxy the soul. The events we see unfolding, such as the coming wars and the crashes, will not ultimately be the cause because they’ve been the effect.

Controlling Copper and Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Alasdair_Macleod
There is an unwarranted assumption that market prices are always right, and represent "fair value". In the case of commodities, particularly metals, this is not necessarily true, because regulated financial markets make it too easy for government agencies and large banks to game the system.
Take the case of a country like China, which is the largest consumer of copper. Does it passively buy its copper through the market? No. Instead it strikes a price with a supplier, such as a Zambian copper mine, based on the London market price, bypassing the market entirely. If China plays no part in setting the reference price in London, the Zambians can be satisfied the price is fair; but if China or her agents suppressed the price of copper in the market before the price is set, the Zambians would be right to be upset.

Can Gold Save the World From the Credit Bubble? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
In a financial world of contradictions, chaos, and confusion, perhaps a “gold-centric” perspective will provide clarity.
The media is filled with comments from notable “gold-bashers” such as Benjamin Bernanke, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates. Their criticisms of gold (in my opinion) boil down to:

Gold Long-term Outlook for Massive Parabolic Run to $5,000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Clive_Maund
In order to comprehend why the long-term outlook for gold (and silver) is so positive you only have to understand that global debt and balance sheets are set to expand indefinitely. The controllers of the system had the chance to demand that the books be balanced back in the financial crisis of 2008 - 2009, but they weren't interested - they were much more interested in taking the easy way out and lining their own pockets at the expense of society at large, by printing vast quantities of money which they gifted to themselves, and fleecing savers via zero and now negative interest rates. They were then able to use their Central Bank generated cash handouts to make even more money by speculating in global property and stockmarkets, and magnify their gains even more via the carry trade. In the past they would have been sent to prison for a long time for this, but since they control society they can make and amend laws to suit themselves, and with respect to themselves the laws are unenforceable anyway, and the ordinary population, who have been neutered, are going to stand up to them.

Silver Bear Market Downside Momentum Easing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Clive_Maund
Silver's long bearmarket from its 2011 highs is believed to be "nested" within a larger bullmarket, along with gold's, as discussed in more detail in the parallel Gold Market update, to which the reader is referred. This is an echo of what happened in the 70's, when both gold and silver went into a heavy correction in 1975 and 1976 that was taken at the time to be a new bearmarket, but ended up leading into a massive parabolic ramp that took silver to dizzying heights as the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the silver market. The second major upleg of this bullmarket should take silver to levels that dwarf those of the 70's peak, and this is not some deluded fantasy but based on a sound assessment of the trends in currencies and debt now extant.

Silver and NASDAQ – Long, Medium and Short Trends / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
Courtesy of the High-Frequency-Traders and a wave of digital “money printing” the NASDAQ closed at a new high on Friday the 24th – a 15 year high. Silver, on the other hand, has been crushed – the near all-time high was 4 years ago. In this tale of two markets, we examine the silver to NASDAQ ratio over the long and medium term for clues about their next major moves.

Let's Make Silver Shine Even Brighter Than Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Money_Morning
Tom Gentile writes: In the world of precious metals, silver is considered the "Poor Man's Gold."
Anyone who believes this nonsense will stay away from investing in silver for all the wrong reasons.
With the S&P 500 pushing resistance once again at 2,100, perhaps it's time to visit the land of the contrarian trader, for as the saying goes, as the stock market falls, the precious metals markets rise.

Six Silver Questions and Perspectives / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The next time you find yourself contemplating, worrying, or wondering with anxiety whether it’s too simple to be true; it is not simple - it’s exceedingly complicated.
Not because the fundamentals are all that hard to understand. And not because in principle it is sound personal action in any time period.
But it is complicated because we’ve spent so many years off the rails of sound economic principles that we don’t recognize them when we see them.

Gold Trading Week Ahead - 4 May 2015 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Harley_Salt
Gold ended last week on a flat note having fallen below US$1,180/oz with better than expected jobless data out of the US pushing gold lower. It was a surprise to the markets to finally see positive data from the US, of late the majority of key data has been coming in below expectations. With one positive bit of data the market seemed to grab this and give hope to a near term rate rise which kept gold demand weak. We still do not believe the Fed will move on rates this year given the overall weakness in the US economy and the continuing flow of poor economic data.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold And Silver - Thieving Bankers Operate In Open; Public Have Eyes Wide Shut / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
Who are the bankers? There are those known, doing a lot of dirty work, and there are those unknown, operating totally behind the scenes controlling everything, doing even dirtier work. What does that mean, controlling everything? How about the world's money supply, creating it, deciding who gets what and how it is to be spent.
How has a lot of the money been spent? Acquiring politicians, which means controlling governments and the political partied that make up governments. Bankers have paid for and gained control of the entire pharmaceutical industry, the AMA [American Medical Association], all of the huge Agri-business, controlling the like of Monsanto and GMOs. Bankers control the entire media industry, everything you watch on TV, hear on the radio, read in the newspapers and magazines, control over everything they want you to hear and read. The entire educational system is run by the government. Everything is done under the watchful eyes of the bankers. Nothing gets done without their approval.

Gold and Silver Bear Squeeze Comes and Goes / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldMoney
This week started with a sharp bear squeeze, which took gold from $1178 to $1214, and silver from $15.70 to $16.71. These higher prices on Wednesday proved to be the peak for both metals, before they fell back sharply yesterday (Thursday) on better than expected US initial jobless claims. The Federal Open Market Committee's (FOMC) minutes, which admitted the US economy is softening, had little effect when released yesterday.

Gold Developments Say New Mine Supply Is Peaking / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jeff_Clark
Our curiosity was piqued as we reviewed the year-end reports of the primary gold producers. When we tallied the results, even we were surprised.
The upshot of what you’ll see is that at its current pace, new supply will be unable to keep up with demand. It may look like a story that doesn’t have much immediate impact, but this emerging new reality is staring us right in the face.

Putin: Czar Of Natural Gas, Crude Oil, Uranium & GOLD / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: I_M_Vronsky
Well-known Moscow journalist Dmitry Kalinichenko expressed it well: “Very few people understand what Putin is doing at the moment. And almost no one understands what he will do in the future. No matter how strange it may seem, but right now, Putin is selling Russian oil and gas only for physical gold.”
Nonetheless, the above comments provide valuable insights into what President Putin’s plan is most likely to be…and how it will eventually and materially benefit the Russian economy.

Gold Ideals and Management / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Gary_Tanashian
Given its ancient history as money and jewelry, its religious connotations, the fact that it is both beautiful and laborious to dig out of the ground, process and store, gold is an asset that promotes strong and often emotional views and so it is the perfect central figure for this thought exercise.
I want to be careful in criticizing fellow market participants because as a lowly human myself, I am subject to the same pitfalls as anyone else. But being an advocate of the sound reasons for owning gold, even through a violent bear market, I have learned a lot over the last few years about how many market participants think. That includes myself, which I will address first.
