When a Gold Necklace Isn't Jewelry / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: When it comes to supply and demand, what you’ve been told about gold jewelry is wrong. That’s a strong statement, but I’ve got a firsthand account to back it up.
Most industry organizations separate jewelry from investment when they tally the numbers on the uses for gold. This makes sense, of course, because one is a coin or bar purchased as a store of value and the other is something designed to be worn. But what if large populations around the world view them as serving the same purpose?

Gold, Sources And Remedies Of Financial Instability / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Professor_Emeritus
Excerpt: "The hour is late. At stake is the survival of the U.S. and world economy as we know it. Failure to act now would lead to a disaster comparable only to the collapse of the Roman Empire in the fifth century A.D. that was accompanied with a total breakdown of law and order, accompanied, significantly, by gold going into hiding."

Gold and Silver Sell Offs Are Precious Metals Bull Market Investment Opportunities / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
"One must take advantage of sell-offs in gold and silver miners; they are opportunities to get on board the secular bull market in precious metals."
The long awaited healthy pullback has come. However, do not forget that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will continue devaluing the dollar (UUP) by keeping interest rates at all-time lows and continue quantitative easing as we have not seen a major improvement in unemployment and housing. We are also entering an election year in which central banks do not want to rile the equity markets. Just because the S&P (SPY) has been soaring does not mean the economy is improving.

Silver for Volatile Times in Desperate Economic Conditions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
Here is an interesting theory on the recent silver run up and correction which someone pointed out to me this evening from a chatboard.
I do not know if his theory is valid of course, and the author allows as much, as more data is required. I doubt even the COT report this Friday will be of use. I like to follow Harvey Organ and Dan Norcini on these matters and will look forward to their weekend commentary.

What it Takes to Truly Stop the Gold Bull / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Q1_Publishing
The odds of a long-awaited precious metals correction increased this week.Gold and silver have been setting new high after new high. Gold is up $100 and silver’s up more than $10 since President Obama ruled out significant spending cuts in his mid-April budget speech and the Fed chairman noted inflation will be “transitory.”

By: Adrian_Ash
PRICES in LONDON's wholesale spot gold market briefly dipped beneath $1500 per ounce the first time in a week on Thursday in London, bouncing to $1509 – and recovering faster vs. the Euro and Sterling – as both the UK and Eurozone central banks held their interest rates unchanged, significantly below the rate of inflation.

Silver Paper Sell Off Confronted by Significant Physical Bullion Demand / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold stabilised in Asian and early European trading prior to a 1% fall, while silver’s sharp price fall continues and silver is now down 20% in USD terms in 5 days. The huge and unprecedented increase in margin in the paper silver market has forced some weak hands out of the silver market and allowed the concentrated shorts on Wall Street to press their advantage to the downside.

The Institutional Gold Rush / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Peter_Schiff
I have worked on Wall Street my entire life, and one thing I've learned is that large institutional investors, like pension funds and endowments, rarely veer from the herd. They manage too much of other people's money to stick their necks out alone - if their investments go bad, at least they can point to everyone else who fared just as poorly.

Gold And Silver Storm The Fed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation. John Adams (1735-1826), American President
America’s founding fathers would not be surprised at the dire state of the nation they created in1776. America was then an experiment. No similar form of government had ever been attempted; and even at its birth the founding fathers had doubts as to whether the American experiment would succeed.

U.S. Dollar Weakness Shows Gold and Silver are the only Real Currencies / Currencies / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Chapman
Dollar weakness that has continued will continue. That is to make US goods cheaper and more saleable as exports, but the flip side is that imported goods are more expensive and that creates inflation. Such a policy is foolhardy versus foreign nations that have export advantages. Besides the US does not have the predominance of mass to compete on this level. If tariffs on goods and services were implemented that would be another story. That accompanied by a change in tax laws for transnational corporations, that would force them to return the $2 trillion they have offshore and pay normal taxation which would be very beneficial to solve tax, production and employment problems.

Silver Leads Precious Metals Sell-Off / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is down 20% in 4 trading sessions. Let's notice that the SLV has given back ALL of its near-vertical upside blow-off type action ($37.00-$48.35) after the price structure hurdled the top of its 10-month bullish channel.
The SLV has returned to the vicinity of the extension of the upper channel line, which now serves as support starting at $38.30, into the area of the sharply rising 50 DMA ($37.85), which should contain and reverse current SLV weakness.

By: Jason_Hamlin
Silver has posted an incredible first four months of the year, appreciating by over 60%! But we all know the adage that nothing goes up forever and silver proved it true by finally hitting a wall and correcting by 15% in just three days. The metal continued declining this morning and just tested the psychologically important $40 level.

Silver Plunges, Flirts with 20% Bear Market Level / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD held tight as silver prices sank once again in London on Wednesday morning, sitting above last night's two-session low of $1528 per ounce while silver dropped to new 3-week lows, flirting with the technical definition of "bear market".
New data showed the Bank of Mexico buying 93 tonnes of gold bullion for its reserves in Feb. and March, the heaviest central-bank buying since India's 200-tonne purchase from the IMF in Oct. 2009.

Industrial Demand Set to Drive a Rebound in Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Money_Morning
Larry D. Spears writes:
After a shocking upward climb to nearly $50 an ounce, silver prices have been walloped over the past two days - plunging to $41.50 an ounce in afternoon trading yesterday (Tuesday).
But regardless of this sharp decline, now isn't the time to panic. After all, the U.S. Federal Reserve has given no indication that it plans to tighten monetary policy anytime soon, and as a result the dollar continues to weaken.

Gold Prices Remain a Dollar Play Despite Recent Events / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
The dash from $1425/oz to $1563/oz came to a halt today on news that is perceived to be good for the USD. The technical indicators are firmly in the overbought zone so a breather was on the cards. Note that the RSI had peaked well above the '70′ level and has now come back slightly, to sit at 73.50, still oversold, so this correction may continue for a few more days.

Gold Falling to $1290 Suggests “Three Peaks and the Domed House” Pattern / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Nu Yu, Ph. D with Lorimer Wilson writes: There are a number of different ways to look at what has been happening with the price of gold and silver of late and to anticipate what is next in store for this precious metal. One of the most unique ways of assessing past, present and future movement is by taking a look at the "Three Peaks and the Domed House" and "Bump and Run" chart pattern. Indeed, the "Three Peaks" pattern suggests that gold has peaked and will now decline by 17% to $1,290 per ozt. in June. Let me explain.
