How Gold Became Politically Correct / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Michael_J_Kosares
“When the monetary history of the year coming to an end is written decades from now, the headlines of European debt crisis and Federal Reserve’s adoption of QE2 may turn out to be mere footnotes to the bigger story: 2010 could be a watershed marking the beginning of the end of the dollar-based, Western-centric monetary system.” -- Randall Forsyth, Barron’s
“We wish to highlight not all but some of the ‘fears’ that keep us awake at night, and illustrate why right now is not the final act for gold. 2011 could be an explosive year for this most illustrious of metals. . .We believe withstanding a lack of gold standardisation, gold has a firm place in modern portfolio management and in accounting procedures.”-- Hinde Capital, None Shall Sleep 2011 - by Michael J. Kosares

Gold Investments: Why I Jumped in and Bought Twice this Week / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Profit_Confidential
The way I look at the market and the way the majority of other analysts and economists look at the market are two different things. Yesterday, any news site you went to was telling the story of how higher than expected GDP growth in China would cause interest rates to rise there, slowing down the economy and pushing commodity prices down.

Gold Supported by Favorable Interest Rates and Inflationary Concerns / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Stall
After a record ten straight years of annual gains, gold has entered a critical phase in one of its longest rallies. Markets are abuzz with contradictory views on whether gold will continue to rise in 2011. Signs of a slowdown are apparent in the short to medium-term. However, we investigate two compelling factors affecting gold prices and find out why there is no reason that the prolonged rally does not continue well into this year as well.

Physical Gold Bullion Market Tight - Paper Sell Off Due to "Momentum Monkies" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
After gains in Asia, the precious metals have come under pressure in Europe. The recent sharp sell off has seen gold fall 5.7% in January. Nothing whatsoever has changed regarding the fundamentals of the precious metal markets and long term buyers are again buying on the dip. As long as interest rates remain near historic lows and real interest rates continue to punish savers, gold's bull market remains sound.

China vs. JPMorgan: The Battle Over Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jason_Hamlin
Gold is down 6% and silver 12% since the start of 2011. This is the sharpest decline in precious metals since June of last year and with technical support broken at the 50-day moving averages, many are concerned of a deeper correction ahead. While there are a myriad of factors driving the prices, two of the major opposing forces are Chinese demand for physical gold on the long side and JPMorgan paper schemes on the short side. Which force prevails in the short term remains to be seen, but in the long run the paper shorts will eventually be squeezed, pushing the price for both gold and silver much higher.

Gold Weakening Momentum Continues, Next Target $1320 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Well, the weakening momentum of the gold move that I had been warning about seems to be doing its job. Gold is in a little bit of a down draft. For how long and for how far is anyone’s guess? For now the $1320 mark is the price to watch based upon a P&F chart. Once there we’ll see what next.

Gold and Silver tocks Converging towards a Major Uptrend / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
We are now seeing a convergence of indications that a reversal in the Precious Metals sector is at hand that will lead to a major uptrend soon. The last Gold and Silver updates posted on 11th January were bearish over a short to medium-term time horizon and have been proven correct as gold and silver have since fallen substantially, and stocks have taken a real beating. However, in view of the current strongly bullish constellation of indications, it now looks like the downside targets for gold and silver were set too low, although our downside target for stocks has just been hit.

Silver Close to Reversing to the Upside / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
While silver has performed as predicted in the last update posted on 11th January and has broken to successive new lows as its correction has progressed, it does not now look like it will drop to the downside targets that we earlier projected. Instead it now looks like we are very close to a reversal to the upside.

Bullish on Barrick Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The weakness in Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) from its Dec high at 55.72 to yesterday's low at 45.75 (-18%) has returned the price structure to a critical convergent support area around 46.00-45.50. This represents the sharply rising 200 DMA, as well as the extension of the trendline across a series of 2009 and 2010 peaks (now serving as support) that cut across the price axis in the vicinity of 46.00-47.00.

Gold and Silver Correction Will Be Short-Lived / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: The_Gold_Report
Correction? What correction? Chris Berry, founder of House Mountain Partners, and Michael Berry, publisher of Morning Notes and Discoveryinvesting.com, think the 2011 price correction in precious metals is nothing but a passing fancy, and that gold and silver will be back on their respective ascents by year-end. If anything, gold and silver equities are currently on sale. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Chris and Michael reveal some of their favorite gold and silver plays in Colombia and the Yukon.

Chinese Silver Demand Surges Incredible Four Fold in Just One Year / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold is flat and silver marginally lower despite dollar weakness this morning. Some market participants are blaming the precious metal sell off on speculation that China may take more monetary action to curb surging inflation. This is unlikely to be the reason for the sharp selloff, rather it looks like another paper driven sell off in the futures market by leveraged players on Wall Street with various motives.

Monitoring the ‘Risk Trade’ with the Gold/Silver Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Ciovacco
The gold/silver ratio is not just for gold bugs; it can help us monitor the appeal of the ‘risk on’ trade relative to the ‘risk off’ trade in many markets, including global stocks (SPY) and commodities (DBC).
