More Determined Bear Raids on Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
More determined bear raids today, winnowing out the weak hands, the overleveraged, and the speculators. Look for silver to hold the most resilience and snapback on the shorts, as the shortage in wholesale supply continues to deepen.
Remember that January 26th is the option expiration at the Comex.

The Value Case for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The prices for commodities can change quickly and wildly, and in many cases, investors can hold commodities for years without any realization of profits.
The wild cyclicality is what has kept many out of the commodities markets, and it is the reason why so many value investors choose to ignore commodities as a broad investment alternative. In respectful disagreement, making the case for a value investment in silver is a cakewalk at worst.

Silver Stockpiling Ahead of When M0 Becomes M2 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Silver investors who have been stockpiling physical silver on massive global changes in monetary policy have been a bit ahead of themselves. While the fear of inflation exists in very broad detail, the realizations of inflation have yet to show themselves.

Gold and Silver Open Interest Show Speculators Have Reduced Positions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold has fallen by 1.7% and silver by 4% as the US dollar has bounced from 2 month lows. Some are attributing the sell off to interest rate hikes in Brazil and the bounce in the dollar. However, it is more likely due to further selling by momentum-driven traders who see that the short term trend is down and they are sticking it to under pressure longs. Read full article...

Gold, Silver and Unhedged Producers / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
The run up in gold prices attracted investors to the gold and silver mining sector and for those investors looking for significant exposure, producers who do not forward sell their production provide the vehicle to take advantage of the improvement in gold prices. However during the recent pull back in both silver and gold prices these stocks naturally experienced some profit taking, particularly by speculators who have recently taken an interest in this small sector of the market.

The U.S. and China Going In Opposite Directions / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
China is in the midst of a 'State visit' to the U.S. but this time China will get a state banquet. This implies a changed attitude to China by the U.S. It is clear to all today that there is unlikely to be a real confrontation between the two nations anymore. If there were to be a war between the two it is most unlikely to be an economic/financial one, not a military one. China is racing to be the number one economic world power and the U.S. is retreating from that position, slowly but surely. Each day, the power of the U.S. to dominate or even influence China falls slightly. Each day the power of China to influence and eventually dominate the global economy grows. At this moment in time China owns around half of U.S. Treasuries. They are already in a position to hurt the U.S. very badly, should they want to. But it is not in the interests of China to do that. China is empire-building and doesn't want to be distracted from that. They appear to be on a winning road already. China's is on the rising road and will soon pass the U.S. going the other way.

By: Marty_Chenard

Has Gold Topped Out? Nope, You Ain’t Seen Nothing, Yet! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Goldrunner writes: A Gold Bull Market is much like a bucking bronco in the Old West – constantly trying to buck investors out of the saddle – as many in the Precious Metals universe are calling an intermediate-term top for Gold. Some are even suggesting that we have seen the final top in this Historic Gold Bull. We have a completely different view maintaining that we are very close to the juncture where Gold starts another rip higher into May or June. Let me explain. Read full article... Read full article...

Panic Before the Herd and Win-Win with Silver! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Jerry Western with Lorimer Wilson write : A win-win situation, as we all know, occurs when opposing parties both gain from a certain outcome. Perhaps both don't always get all that they want but both 'win' something in the bargain. It's the best outcome that can be expected for both parties. With silver there is a lose-lose and a win-win scenario.

Gold Bull Market … Far From Over / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Tony_Caldaro
The bull market in Gold is entering its tenth consecutive year of a long term uptrend. In the entire history of the US stock market, 1885 – 2011, there has only been one long term uptrend that was longer. The thirteen year, 1987 – 2000, long term uptrend that led to the dotcom bubble in the late 1990′s. For many, this type of bull market in Gold will be a once in a lifetime event.

Is JPM Covering Up a Naked Silver Short Held By China As a Claim Against the Yanks? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
I freely admit that I have no inside knowledge of what is happening behind the scenes in the metals markets. But I do have a sense that things just do not seem to make sense, and the facts do not appear to fit the situation without some stretching.
And this is one of those cases where my curiosity gets piqued. And so this seemed to be of interest to me as it might be to you.
