Gold and Silver over the next month or so / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Richard_Hartley
Last month I calculated Silver was about to go ballistic - I think a 28 % price rise is pretty impressive in one month. I presumed gold would follow at a more leisurely pace. It did. Short term though the fundamentals of each are disconnected. Gold is reflective of safe haven mode where as silver is in highly speculative mode.Read full article... Read full article...

Silver Going Parabolic, Time to Sell and Reinvest in Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Kenny Rogers may not be widely known as a great philosopher, but one of his legendary songs carried a message well worth knowing. It goes, "Know when to hold them, and know when to fold them." Last week in the game of world monetary poker, the ECB raised the limit. Now the Federal Reserve will have to demonstrate it has what it takes to play poker with the big boys. Question is not if it will fold, but when it will fold. June or sooner?

Physical Silver Price is Really $50 per Ounce (80% Premium on COMEX Silver Non-Delivery) / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Kitze
This just in from Harvey Organ's review of the gold and silver market.
Wynter_Benton update on their recent raid With permission, I can update the results of our raid. It was successful beyond imagination but that "success" has spawned even more questions about the price of paper silver going forward. It was reported by SGS that he heard that on Friday Blythe was offering 30-50 percent premium and that at least 4500 hundred contracts will stand for delivery. I am here to give you a more accurate update (and a first hand account of what happened on Friday Feb 25). Our group was detemined to stand for delivery going into Monday because we were not going to take a 30 percent premium on a price of $33.50.

Why Investing in Gold, Silver, Commodities is STILL the Way to Go! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Arnold_Bock
Arnold Bock (with Lorimer Wilson) write: Back in 2005 I commented in an article that “my investment portfolio is almost exclusively invested in a basket of commodities (gold, silver, potash, uranium and crude oil) of which the bulk is precious metals. A third of my investments are in gold and silver bullion and a range of individual commodity-related stocks, from the very large producers to the very early stage small junior exploration companies, or their long-term warrants where they exist. Two thirds are in precious metals ETFs.”

Dwindling Comex Silver Bullion, But Where Is the Gold Coming From? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
I wonder how much of this silver being sold is leased out from unallocated accounts and holdings in ETFs.
How unfortunate for the silver shorts that the bankers lack a ready supply of bullion from the central banks. Most national stores of silver in the west have already been depleted.

Junior Gold Miners Premium from Social Unrest Spreading Out of Africa and into Americas / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: The_Gold_Report
Sprott Asset Management Senior Portfolio Manager Charles Oliver says the social unrest in the Middle East could lead to a premium for junior companies operating in North and South America. He's even betting on it, saying, "I believe juniors will give you the best long-term outperformance and alpha." He's taken profits on companies with exposure to Africa and moved that cash into others with primary assets in the Americas, where, he says, there is much lower risk. Charles discusses a basket full of those names in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report.

Mounting social and political unrest in the Middle East boosted appeal for commodities as a safe investment option in recent weeks. Crude oil topped $100 a barrel and near month gold and silver futures traded above $1440 and $35 respectively, in the NYMEX. Besides geopolitical developments, currency fluctuations and stock markets influenced precious metals.

By: Adrian_Ash

Gold Has No Intrinsic Value and Not a Store of Value / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Gary_North
Gold is a valuable thing to store. However, it is not a store of value. Gold has intrinsic properties that make it valuable. However, it does not have intrinsic value.
I mention this, because, at some point, you will read about gold as a store of value. You will read of gold's intrinsic value. Every time you read either of these phrases, you will know that the author does not understand economic theory.

Gold and Silver Breaking New Highs As U.S. Dollar Loses Appeal As Safe Haven / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
The gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) meteor keeps soaring in the skies over Wall Street as the US dollar (UUP) is parachuting into new lows. The spot price of silver this week broke $34.40, zooming into a record high area unseen since 1980. On March 1, gold followed its poorer brother by breaking out at $1425. The US dollar is challenging all-time lows. It does not take a PhD from Princeton to realize that there may be a problem here. Maybe the recent radical central bank actions should be reconsidered? True, 401(k)'s look good, but it has come at the expense of significant dollar debasement.

China Gold Demand Voracious, Chinese Yuan Gold Standard? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver have recovered somewhat from slight falls in Asia overnight and are now higher against the British pound and Swiss franc which are weaker this morning. With geopolitical instability looking set to escalate and the real possibility of a military confrontation in the Mediterranean, any sell off in the precious metals will likely be tentative.

Silver, Rethinking “Buy on the Dips” / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Perhaps no more do we hear this common phrase “buy on the dips” than in raging bull markets. Investors who have long sought to price themselves into strong markets have used this phrase to justify their patience. However, truthfully, “buying on the dips” isn’t at all rational.Read full article... Read full article...

As Silver Prices Rise, Silver Volatility will Grow / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
It does not seem uncommon to log online or turn on a TV and see silver head higher. Save for a few weeks in January, the trend toward higher prices has been in effect since August, when most people were still thinking silver at $20 was overvalued. At $33, it’s still a bargain.Read full article... Read full article...
