By: GoldCore
Gold and silver reached new record all time and 31-year highs respectively again yesterday and this morning - both nominal highs. Silver has surged to a new 31-year nominal high of $40.28/oz and may now target next resistance at $50/oz - the 1980 nominal high.
Gold is now targeting $1,500/oz after just reaching new nominal highs at $1473/oz. Gold is higher in all currencies this week but especially the beleaguered yen which has fallen 4% against gold in the week so far.

The Gold:Silver Price Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Submissions
Ian R. Campbell writes: An article this morning asks “Am I being too conservative with my silver price target?” - reading time 3 minutes. In the article, the author states his current physical silver price target to be U.S.$300 per ounce, which he bases on his long-term physical gold price target of U.S.$5,000 per ounce, and what he (and many other authors) refer to as the historic gold/silver price ratio of 16 (divide 5,000 by 16, and you get 312.5). As someone who owns some physical silver I certainly would like to simply sit back today and watch the first round of the Masters Golf Tournament, secure in the knowledge that based on this article my economic future and that of my family is secure. That said, while I plan to watch snippets of the Masters today, I will be spending most of it in front of my computer.

Gold May Fall Short-term on ECB Rate Rise, But Rising Interest Rates are Bullish / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold’s two consecutive days of nominal record highs have seen some profit taking as oil is flat, the dollar is marginally higher and the euro has fallen. The ECB’s 0.25 % interest rate hike may lead to further profit taking today but rising interest rates in an increasingly inflationary environment will be positive for gold as it was from 1965 to 1981 (see charts below).

Where Is the Gold? The Mystery of Ft. Knox. / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: LewRockwell
Chris Weber writes: What Do They Have to Hide?
In a few months we'll "celebrate" the 40th anniversary of the day when the US Government declared bankruptcy. Oh, they didn't call it that at the time. But what happened on August 15, 1971 was that the US defaulted on its promise to pay gold for dollars. It is now clear that they didn't have very much gold left to pay.

By: Jeff_Berwick
The following is an excerpt from the March Issue of The Dollar Vigilante (TDV).

Gold and Silver, The Big Show / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Anthony_J_Stills
"Fear is a very foolish way to rule a nation, because fear is very tiring over time. No matter how tyrannical the despot, no matter how great the imposed terror; there comes a time when the people simply lack the energy to be afraid any longer, Fear vanishes from the population, and all that is left is blind uncompromising unquenchable rage." ~ Michael Rivero

Gold Breakout and Silver Going Parabolic / / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
We obviously have been too cautious on Silver. The metal has been on a tear and has shown no weakness in the past few weeks. Our upside targets were $37 and $39. A clean break of $39, which seems imminent will send the market to $45 and possibly $50. Monday was the start of a parabolic move. First Majestic Silver, the strongest performing Silver stock has already gone parabolic. Keep an eye on First Majestic to gauge or confirm movements in Silver. We still hold First Majestic in our premium service portfolio, which was originally recommended almost two years ago.

Gold and Silver - the usual commentators- we need new ones / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Richard_Hartley
When it comes to wider commentary on gold and silver it is still restricted to the financial press. The 'public' are yet unaware of the massive inflation that is going to hit them. That's why we are not in precious metals bubble. Nobody is talking about the huge rise in prices... except the usual commentators.

A Look at Gold’s Long-term Outlook / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clif_Droke
Let’s step back for a moment and take a look at the big picture. Although the primary focus of traders should be on the short-term technical outlook for gold, silver and mining stocks, it’s good to have a good idea of where the precious metals are likely headed in the 3-4 year out look.Our primary analytical tools for discerning the longer-term trends that are likely to emerge are the yearly Kress Cycles. Fundamentals can be useful but the long-term cycles are even more important since they ultimately determine the overall direction that asset prices will take.
