HUI Gold Stocks Seasonal Trend Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
After updating my gold-seasonality research last week, I heard from traders wondering how it affects gold stocks. Since the price of gold is their primary driver, gold seasonality naturally has a major impact on gold-stock price levels. This is readily apparent in the seasonality of the HUI, the flagship gold-stock index. As you’d expect, this sector mirrors and amplifies the seasonal swings in the metal it mines.

Don't Sweat the Gold Price Correction / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: I've told more than one concerned investor that when the gold price falls, they should "come back in three months" and see if they're still worried. The idea is that the daily and monthly gyrations are nothing to fret over, that the price will recover and, in time, fetch new highs.
That advice has worked every time gold underwent any significant correction (except in late 2008, when one had to take a longer view than three months). Here's proof.

Not Your Father's Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
From TTT to KFC and onto a very different gold investment market again... SO THIS isn't your father's bull market in gold, and it certainly isn't your grandfather's.
Where gold amid the Great Depression was all about three T's – teeth, trinkets and terror – it had morphed by the end of the 1970s into a finger-lickin' combination of Krugerrands, futures, and those "certificates of confiscation" that were government bonds paying way less than inflation.

Whirlwind Debt Crisis Ensures Gold $2000 Assured / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jim_Willie_CB
What an incredible whirlwind of crisis from seven foul winds around the globe. Most emanate from Europe, which is far from its climax in crisis. Three steps will lead to full blown eruption, the first Italy with rising bond yields and a bank run, the second Spain with rising bond yields and admission that banks are far more insolvent than recognized, and third the failure of all three largest French banks as the principal swine creditor. In fact, a great split has occurred, as France has been cut off from the future world by Germany, which looks East to Russia and China. The Berlin leaders will not be needing French squires to carry their bags, but instead will watch as Paris becomes the appointed leader of the PIIGS.

The “Gold Beta” Of Mining Stocks and Why We Continue To Avoid Them / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
In this article we aim to explain the relationship between the movements in the price of gold and movements in gold stocks.
The financial tool that measures this relationship is the asset’s “Beta”. Beta is a measure of risk and compares the historical return of asset X with the return on the relevant market index over the same time period (eg returns on Google in the past 5 years vs returns on the S&P 500 in the past 5 years).

Will China’s Housing Market Boom Flow to Silver? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
It now appears that the Chinese real estate market will face an inevitable correction. Property prices in major metro areas have skyrocketed in the past decade, the result of a middle class that grew faster than available real estate, along with sky-high inflation statistics that make real estate an excellent store of value for Chinese investors.

Why Gold Should Set New Highs by Year End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, BIG GOLD writes: Most gold followers know the metal has a seasonal tendency to perform better in the fall and winter than in the spring and summer. Indeed, since 2001, the annual high for the gold price has occurred after Labor Day every year except two (2006 and 2008). Further, that peak was hit in November or December in seven of the last ten years.
