Gold’s historic undervaluation versus oil / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Michael_J_Kosares
The Wikileaks/Financial Times revelations on significant gold buying interest in the Middle East — notably Iran’s central bank, Jordan’s central bank and Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund — brought to mind the story of Saudi Arabia’s King Ibn Saud and his sale of oil concessions to the major oil companies. In payment he received 35,000 British sovereigns — a coin many of you hold in your own sovereign wealth fund. The good king understood the difference between the value of gold and the value of a paper promise.

The Bedrock of the Gold Bull Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Frank_Holmes
Last week I had the pleasure of participating in a webcast for Bloomberg Markets Magazine regarding gold investing. It was a very insightful presentation and I suggest you view the replay at www.bloombergmarkets.com. What struck me on the call was the negativity surrounding the gold market. Call it a bubble, a frenzy or mania, there seems to be a large number of voices in the marketplace who just are not fans of gold, whether prices are moving up, down or sideways.

Gold and Silver and the Endgame for U.S.A. Inc. / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Midas_Letter
I’m going to take a leap of faith and assume the reader harbours a sufficiently enlightened mind to be aware of several key facts regarding the world as we know it. The fatuous commentary suggesting gold is a bubble, gold has peaked, gold is a bad investment, etc shall from this point forward be consigned to its rightful place in the Horribly Flawed Thinking dumpster and discussion of same restricted to the hopelessly naïve (or sublimely clever and duplicitous) CNBC. Henceforth we proceed under the assumption that ;

Silver Reaches New 38-Year High at $38.50/oz - Backwardation Ends But COT Data is Bullish / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
The positive momentum of gold and silver continue with both higher in European trade as oil prices have risen due to geopolitical tensions in oil rich nations and the euro has fallen on Eurozone debt concerns.
Focus will be on interest rates this week with the ECB likely to increase interest rates, and renewed speculation as to whether the Federal Reserve will attempt to increase interest rates or embark on QE3.

Gold Forming Bearish Double Top? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Looking at a short term chart it sure looks like we are forming a double top here (see chart below). If so that could take us to at least the lows of early Jan. Time will tell. The weakness in the trading has been mentioned before, it still is there. We need a strong move into new highs to overcome.

Silver Very Overbought / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
Silver is very overbought and this fact coupled with the dramatic spike in the silver gold ratio would normally be expected to lead to a significant reaction by both gold and silver, as usually happened following such a situation in the past, but these are not normal times.
On its 2-year chart we can see how silver has been romping ahead since it broke out last August and following its latest upleg had become critically overbought by early March, but only a minor reaction followed.

Gold Real Money in a World of Fiat Currency / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
Since the Masters of the System have decided to arbitrarily "move the goalposts" to suit themselves by printing money in unlimited quantities, fixing interest rates at artificially low levels, and backstopping the bond market etc, it is incumbent on us as investors to find a fixed point of reference and safe anchorage, the better to weather the financial storms that their crassly irresponsible policies are bringing upon us. That fixed point of reference is gold. As gold is real money it is aloof from the mess and mayhem that now exists in the world of fiat and which is rapidly getting worse - and here it is necessary to make a crucially important point, which is that at this time in world history you have to completely reorder your thinking with respect with gold.

The Lesson from Japan for Gold and Silver Investors / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: It feels a little callous writing about Japan with respect to precious metals after the country suffered such a terrible tragedy. However, I think it’s worth discussing because there’s a lesson in it for all of us. In fact, I think the moral could be couched in terms of a warning.

Gold and Silver, Spending your Stash / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Peter_Schiff
While gold and silver coins are nice to look at, and there's a certain sense of independence one gets from owning them, most purchasers buy physical precious metals with the goal of eventually spending them.
As they say, you can't take it with you.

Best of Time For Gold and Silver, Worst of Times For U.S. Dollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
It is the best of times for equities and precious metals and the worst of times for the U.S. dollar. It is prudent to focus on the sectors with long secular uptrends as these patterns tend to last longer than expected and produce the greatest returns. Gold (GLD) and Silver (SLV) are in a decade long uptrend as geopolitical uncertainty and rising debt levels have caused many investors to seek the safe haven shelter of real money. In July 2010, as the European Crisis was the prominent topic of worry, gold reversed higher and made a major move on central bank plans to ease.

Rising Interest Rates a Boon for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
So often the finance folk engorge themselves with the concept that a low cost-of-carry is the sole reason for metals’ ascent. While cheap money perpetuates the commodity’s investment interest, it will be higher rates – not lower rates – that ultimately send metals higher.

JP Morgan Massive Silver and Gold Positions, Could Learn from the U.S. Treasury / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
JP Morgan has a new excuse for its massive silver and gold investments. Short or long, whichever it happens to be claiming at the moment, Morgan says it is holding the silver for clients. To buffer its claim, JP Morgan insists the holdings are the result of a new lending window it created, where investors can deposit their gold for safe-storage and obtain a loan in the amount of the gold borrowed.
