Gold Breaks Back Above $1900 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Ben_Traynor

THE U.S. DOLLAR gold price stuck its nose above $1900 an ounce Monday morning London time – its first breach of that level in nearly two weeks – before easing back towards lunchtime.

The silver price, by contrast, fell to a low of $42.42 per ounce – 1.9% off Friday's close – while stocks and major commodities were also down following news of US legal action against banks and yet another election defeat for Germany's ruling party.

Governments Buying Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Venezuelan gold mining companies had until recently been forced to sell 50% their gold production to the government for their reserves. This was increased last month to 100%. It accompanied President Chavez's nationalization of the mining industry. This lays the country open to the seizure of foreign-based assets belonging to Venezuela, including all its gold. To guard against this Chavez has ordered that all the country's gold held in foreign vaults be repatriated back to the country. The tonnage involved is 365 tonnes. This is a huge amount. While it seems political opportunism guided the decision, it was an excellent investment move. In the ground inside Venezuela sits around 1,000 or more tonnes of gold, which over time will take Venezuela's gold reserves above those of Switzerland, once it is mined.

The Gold Price Parabola And Silver Rocket Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: GoldRunner

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleGold has been rocketing up to, and through, the price levels that we laid out many months ago (although a couple of months later than we had expected). This is the equivalent move for Gold that we have recently seen Silver making.  As Gold starts to rise more parabolic on the log chart, it creates a very important consequence for the Precious Metals (PM) stock indices since they are heavily weighted in Gold Producers.  Suddenly, the price of Gold is rocketing up through, and above, the mining costs of the Gold Producers and triggering heavy leverage for the earnings of those Gold Miners.

GOLD Bullish on All Time Frames / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Merv_Burak

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLONG TERM

From the long term perspective we are far from any real danger of a turn around to the bear side.  Of course the long term technical indicators are by their nature slow to turn and much downside activity could take place before the indicators turn around.  That’s what we have the intermediate and short term indicators for.  As often mentioned, I try to keep things simple here.  If you should find I’m getting too complicated please let me know.  There are dozens of other commentaries on the internet where you can find the more complicated or sophisticated analysis.  You don’t need another one.

Gold Stocks, the Best Business For An Inflationary Environment / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Willem_Weytjens

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBuffett has always said that you should find a company that has pricing power that can offer protection in an inflationary environment. What he means with this is you should find companies which can pass higher costs on to its customers. He once said that the ideal asset in an inflationary environment is a royalty on someone else’s sales.

No Gold Summer Doldrums, End of Action for Mining Stocks? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis will be an August to remember – no summer “dulldrums” this year. Gold has risen roughly 12% this month and nearly 30% year to date. Gold prices had a trading range of more than $300 in August.

Stocks are a different story. Wall Street ended the month with losses that came with an extended rout the first three weeks, with the current batch of gains only denting the damage. Since the start of July the FTSE 100 has lost 10.6%. The S&P is down 8.2%. The NIKKEI 225 has lost 8.8%, while the German DAX has plunged 22.6%. By contrast, gold prices have gained nearly 23% over the same period.

Maximizing Profits from The Real Gold and Silver Bull / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: DeepCaster_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article“There has been a pattern developing in the Federal Reserve’s weekly money supply reporting, however, that is worthy of note, with surging M2 growth being reported in the Fed’s now-broadest money measure.  The growth largely can be accounted for by an apparent flight from large time deposits and institutional money funds (officially ignored components of the Fed’s once-broadest money measure, M3).  The cash flows here are suggestive of concerns over banking-system solvency (see Hyperinflation Watch).

(Ed. note: Indeed, the U.S. M2 Money supply accelerated 2.2% in July, 2011 from the prior month; the fastest pace in 52 years.)

Gold Heading for $2000 or $1500? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFor the last week and more gold has been on a roller coaster moving between $100 and $200 each way until now where it is hovering above $1,800. A broad spectrum of analysts points to $1,500 or above $2,000. With gold currently just above $1,800 we are around the half-way point for each move. The move each way would represent a move of just over 16%, which is not deeply significant in today's gold world except for the trading fraternity; there is more, however, beneath these moves than meets the eye!

Silver Mining Stocks Lagging Bullion Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis last year for silver has been awesome!  After a sideways grind in the $15 to $20 range for most of the first three quarters of 2010, silver’s September breakout unleashed a beast that has been nearly unstoppable.  By the end of that breakout month silver blasted through its bull high from early 2008, and has more than doubled since!

As an investor who’s been accumulating a bunch of this metal for over a decade, it’s been exhilarating watching my trove grow in value.  Our newsletter subscribers have also been rewarded handsomely, as at Zeal we’ve been recommending physical silver since late 2001 when it was just over $4.  Silver bullion should be a foundational component of everyone’s portfolio!

How Much Physical Gold is Held by SPDR Gold Trust ETF? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Eric_McWhinnie

Precious metals (NYSE:DBP) investors have enjoyed the past decade as gold (NYSE:GLD) and silver (NYSE:SLV) outperform just about everything in the market. They are starting to capture interest across the mainstream media as investors seek out strong returns in a slowing and troubled economy. The investment world met the increasing demand for gold and silver by creating ETFs. In fact, one of the most popular ETFs in the world is the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD). The only subject that rivals the popularity of precious metals is a good old fashion gold or silver conspiracy theory. A recent gold special by CNBC set out to disprove a popular conspiracy theory about GLD. Unfortunately, CNBC’s special only raises more questions in the precious metals community.

Gold is for wealth preservation and Silver is for bartering / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: George_Maniere

Gold is for wealth preservation and silver is for bartering. If we are talking about protecting wealth in the amount of several million dollars then a good spread to own in precious metals would be 80% gold and 20% silver. If we are talking about a “Mad Max” scenario where we are trying to set ourselves up for a black market bartering system then a good spread would be 75% silver and 25% gold. I will leave it to you to determine what would be an appropriate ratio for you based on the assets you are trying to protect.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRecently, we’ve received a number of emails from readers asking why the primary gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD), doesn’t more closely track the price of gold, and other related questions. For those readers who aren’t already familiar with the workings of this innovative way to “own gold,” it’s worth going over a few of the details, because there are some common misunderstandings regarding the ETF.

Gold Bullion Extended, Miners Just Beginning Potential Breakout / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

           The action in the precious metals raises speculations of interest to Gold Stock Trades subscribers especially in the labyrinth created by a fear driven market.  Gold at this time is participating in a runaway move past resistance.  Although gold has reached new record highs it may be stalling in its attempt to continue moving parabolic, while the undervalued miners play catch up.  What may this hesitation signal and shrinking of the divergence between miners and bullion mean to my readers?

China’s Rare Earths Squeeze / Commodities / Metals & Mining

By: Anthony_David

China’s policy of tightening its rare earth export quota has been causing quite a furor in the rare earth metals market since 2009. With increasing technological advances, the demand for rare earth metals is only increasing worldwide and the declining supply is causing prices to shoot upwards. Prices can come down only if end users reduce production and thereby reduce demand. However, that is an unlikely situation and even if it did happen, the effects are likely to be short lived.

Solar Demand Drives Silver Prices Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Anthony_David

Fears of a declining industrial demand for silver following the financial problems in Europe and the US kept silver prices at modest levels during early August. Prices did rise in mid-August improving the outlook for the precious metal. The risk of increasing inflation in China leading to a slower economic growth in the country is another concern for the global silver industry.
