Gold and Silver the Ultimate Profit Keys and Wealth Protection / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: DeepCaster_LLC
“The lack of growth in the M3 measure — traditional broadest money supply measure used by the Fed until its abandonment in March 2006 — suggests a re-intensifying systemic solvency crisis, as does the continued lack of growth in bank lending. The implications here remain extremely negative for broad economic activity. On the inflation front, however, where there is an overhang of $7 trillion or so outside the United States — being held at the whim of dollar investors — that has to be considered in the U.S. monetary picture. Higher prices already are being seen in a number of dollar-denominated commodities, ranging from oil to food. The higher prices are anticipating and fueling the early stages of Mr. Bernanke’s desired debasement of the dollar.”

Gold, Silver and the Validity of Technical Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Recently the economics site: www.FinanceandEconomics.org published an article on "Precious Metals and the validity of Technical Analysis. We completely agree with the thoughts expressed there and in this piece would like to expand on their thoughts here. Over the last eight years or so we have seen the Technical Analysis approach to the gold price give incorrect signals, when seen in isolation. Many times the technical picture pointed down on the gold price in the face of a strong fundamental picture. We know that this has wrong-footed many gold investors who found themselves waiting for a fall only to see it consolidate then rise.

Silver Bullion Backwardation Suggests Supply Stress / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver are higher against all currencies (except the Canadian dollar) in the wake of the worse than expected trade deficit number ($40.6 billion). Sterling and euro are particularly weak against gold and the US dollar today.
Silver backwardation continues and while spot silver is at $30.09/oz, the March 2011 contract is at $30.07/oz and April at $30.01/oz. Incredibly, the July 2012 contract is trading at $29.93/oz and the December 2013 contract at $29.91/oz.

Showdown in the Gold and Silver Markets: Let's Get Ready to Rumble / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
Silver is likely to lead the way higher from here, with gold following.
The suppression of the metals by the central banks since 1971 will not fall apart in a moment. But if there is a time to which people will later point and say, 'this was the turning point,' it is likely to be in the intital breakout of silver above twenty and of gold from its big cup and handle formation. To borrow an analogy from wartime, this was their Stalingrad, prelude to Kursk.

At this time the charts are still pointing to lower prices in the coming days or weeks.Read full article... Read full article...

Municipal Bond Market Shock Could Ignite Silver Charts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Less than 45 days into 2011, it appears that this just may be the year of the paper recovery, but that doesn’t mean that lingering problems have been wiped away. At center stage now is the municipal bond market, which having grown tremendously as investors fled to safe havens in 2009, may soon find itself in a perilous situation.Read full article...

Gold Markets At A Crossroad – What Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dudley_Baker
We are very bullish for the long-term for the resource sector, i.e., gold, silver and the resource shares. However, we need to live life and the markets in real time and the question is where are we now and what should investors do, if anything?
The big question mark is for the short-term (several weeks) and the immediate term (1 – 3 months).

Gold May Outshine Silver in the Medium Term / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Political as well as economical developments around the globe, especially in the Middle East, have affected the commodity markets during the previous week. Notwithstanding the uncertainty associated with the social illness, a strong demand has supported the precious metals. Talking about the reasons, Chinese New Year celebrations top the discussions. The growth in demand is being attributed in part to Chinese families giving each other gifts of gold instead of traditional red envelopes filled with cash. Fears of inflation have also driven demand for gold.

Eye on FCX as Gold and Silver Shine / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Increasingly, my near-term work is bullish on Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX) as it moves in a sideways triangular consolidation. If the sharp upmove in the precious metals is for real, FCX must participate. If it fails to climb with gold and silver continuing to strengthen, then I will view its divergence as a major warning signal about the miners as well as the underlying upmove in the bullion.

Are Gold And Silver Prices Going To Turn Up? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As we write, the gold price is at $1,364 having bounced off support at $1,324. It is now consolidating, so we have to ask is it about to return to an upward movement longer-term? If it is just consolidating before another strong drop we need to know because it could mean that the long-term upward trend will be broken. For sure the gold market has moved into one of those high risk areas where one expects a sudden and a strong mover, either way. But if it is going to rise, then we are at the point where we should be entering or re-entering the market. The trader may well find himself taking a 'spreading' position and the medium or long-term investor must decide to go in or stay out. The Technical picture is not as conclusive to them as they would like, so they may only enter once they see a clear direction. What process should an investor go through when a market is in this condition?
