Prepare For A Possible Gold And Silver Price Spike / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jeb_Handwerger
The U.S. election results are in. The people have chosen. Subscribers are well aware of the changing rules of the game will conform to the latest economic developments. There may well be a period of negativity relating to the general markets due to the U.S. election, Fiscal Cliff and Year End Tax Loss Selling. We may see both parties come to some sort of conciliatory agreement to save the holiday season. This is known after the election as the Honeymoon Phase, when previously antagonistic parties feel the need to think “Can’t We All Just Get Along!”Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Could Easily Double Amidst Hyperinflation Collapse / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Nick_Barisheff
Asset manager Nick Barisheff says, “There’s never been a fiat currency in history that didn’t end in hyperinflation and complete collapse.” Barisheff thinks that Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s most recent call to have an “unlimited debt ceiling” for the U.S. was “just telling the truth.” That’s essentially what we have now with “open-ended” money printing by the Fed. Barisheff adds, “All it’s doing is postponing a problem . . . it makes it bigger and eventually it blows up.” Forget about remedies for the economy, it’s too late.

World Energy Outlook 2012: High Priced Energy / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: Andrew_McKillop
THE IEA MOVES ON
The IEA in late November published the 2012 edition of its flagship annual study, the World Energy Outlook, but with now-admitted "treading of a fine line", between its mandate, and its recent and present policy interests, fantasies, or foibles. The Agency (IEA) describes itself, in each issue of the WEO, as an "autonomous agency established in November 1974" with its its primary mandate, which it says it continues to pursue, being two-fold: to promote oil supply security amongst its now-28 member countries through "collective response to physical disruptions in oil supply", and also to provide "authoritative research and analysis on ways to ensure reliable, affordable and clean energy" for its exclusively OECD member countries.

Gold and Silver Trend Prognosis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
We’ve been surprised at the recent action in the precious metals complex. During the recent correction the shares were showing quite a bit more strength than the metals. Then the shares took a dive below support yet the metals maintained their recent lows! How do we interpret this wild volatility in the relationship between the shares and the metals? Quite often we look at daily and weekly charts. Now is the time to take a look at the monthly charts which can help us get a better read on the larger trends at hand.

Gold Seasonal Trades Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Submissions
Dimitri Speck writes: Is there such a thing as a gold season? Slogans like "Sell in May and go away" are well-known from the equity markets, and often seasonal patterns such as growing stock prices in the winter months or the year-end rally, are subject to statistical studies. Is there also a seasonal behavior in gold?

The Powers That Be Don’t Want Sovereign Bonds… They Want Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Graham_Summers

Gold Bullion Flowing From West to East / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Earlier this month Eric Sprott circulated a paper, co-authored by him, which concluded that Western central banks have considerably less physical gold than they claim. It shows that since the year 2000 there has been a net increase in identifiable annual demand of 2,268 tonnes, and concludes that some supply, apart from mine output from the “free” world, must come from Western central banks – because there can be no other source.

The Forces That Will Push Silver Over $100 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Steve_St_Angelo
There are tremendous forces at work that will push silver over $100 an ounce. Very few precious metal analysts understand all the forces that are at work. Some analysts focus on specific areas such as the gold-silver ratio and technical analysis, while others write about future investment and industrial demand. And then of course, we have the more unorthodox analysts who delve into the ongoing manipulation of gold and silver -- a realization shared by the author of this article.

Gold And Silver – Market Says Wait / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: Michael_Noonan
There is a reason why it has not been easy to trade gold or silver, of late. One area where information is least reliable is in the middle of a trading range. That is precisely where the price of gold is currently, on the larger monthly time frame. However, while waiting idly until clarity re-enters the picture, we can do some stage-setting in preparation for what is to come, in either direction.

Peak Oil And The Olduvai Gorge / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Andrew_McKillop
The Olduvai Gorge theory of Richard Duncan was that human society would be forced back to the anthropoid ape stage of evolution by peak oil and energy scarcity, and would live like Tanzania's "Lucy" the best known precursor or human ancestor, taxonomically called "Australopithecus afarensis", of about 2 million years ago. Duncan's angle, developed in the late 1990s, was that peak oil and energy resource depletion would firstly make inevitable, then speed up this retreat and defeat of Humanity, as human society was forced back to hunting and gathering. An Internet search with Olduvai Gorge theory will produce hundreds of responses.

Negative Real Interest Rates Continue To Drive The Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012
By: GoldSilverWorlds
People tend to focus on the daily “noise” and often forget the long term view. The first point that Ronald Stoeferle made during our discussion, was that the major topics of his first report (from five years ago) are still relevant. In fact, he doesn’t see any fundamental change since then. The only change he noticed is that the figures became bigger, in the first place the debt levels and the amounts of the rescue packages.
