Gold ready to attack prior highs in the 1900’s / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: David_Banister
It’s been several weeks since I’ve written about Gold and we have had a wild ride since the 1910-1920 highs in August. At the time as we approached I forecasted a major correction was nigh and we were shorting the rise from 1862-1910 prior to a huge $208 drop that took place over just a few days. We covered our short at $1725 and then Gold rallied back to a double top at $1920 and then fell back to $1531.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Perfect Mini Bubble-And-Bust Suggests Gold Price Will Hit $1800 By End November / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Andrew_Butter
The thing you got to understand about Europe is that in August they go on holiday. They used to all go to Greece although recently it’s only the Brits who go there on account of the demonstrators draping Swastikas over the Acropolis; in 2011 the real action was France and this year the German Invasion was intense.

By: GoldSilver
Last week on Good Morning America, ABC ran an exclusive on the $ 29.5 million Global Bullion Exchange fraud. The piece presented the mastermind behind the gigantic gold and silver scam, Jaime Campany. From 2007 through 2009, Campany and his company's accomplices stole more than 1400 individual investor's savings. The vast majority of these folks will never recoup their losses.

Investment Demand Powers Silver’s Slow Ascent / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Anthony_David
Silver prices are known to be volatile given its varying demand in the investment and industrial sectors. Recent times have been trying, as demand in both sectors has been slow. In late October, silver traded at $30.58 per ounce, a fall of 2.08%.
China’s industrial sector accounts for 70% of the country’s demand for silver but with a slowing economy, the demand for the precious metal has naturally slowed down too. Aaron Back of The Wall Street Journal wrote, “China’s trade surplus narrowed in September as exports to the European Union fell, showing that faltering economies abroad are beginning to affect China.”

Gold at Key Resistance Plateau / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Spot gold prices have recovered from a spike corrective low at 1681 to around 1713. This is right below a key resistance plateau that could be construed as the "neckline" of a week-long minor but meaningful head-and-shoulders topping pattern.
Inability of spot gold to claw its way above the neckline and right shoulder resistance zone at 1714 to 1726 in the upcoming hours increases the likelihood of another loop down that tests and breaks 1681 on the way to the 1660 support area thereafter.

Last Chance to Buy Gold and Silver At a Discount / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
Last Thursday, October 20th, all was right in the world. We had rallied past every key technical indicator; Europe had announced that they had come to an agreement to save the default of Greece and Spain, and Italy and Portugal. Peace and prosperity would once aging reign in the land of Leonardo da Vinci, and the home of the greatest art ever created. The food is not too bad either.

How Will the Yen Intervention Affect Gold and Silver? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Eric_McWhinnie
The relationship between the US dollar index and precious metals is an important one to respect. Last week, the dollar index experienced a sharp decline as the EU plan offered support to the euro, which is the largest weighted currency in the dollar index basket. As a result, gold and silver had a terrific week. Now, the Japanese yen is sending the US dollar sharply higher, and precious metals lower.

Gold and Silver Building Bullish Momentum / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
After correcting from above $1900 to below $1550, gold prices have undergone the necessary consolidation and now look poised to challenge the old highs.
Examining the chart below it is apparent that the recent decline in gold prices was not the bursting of a bubble, but merely a correction within a larger secular bull market. Although we were not fortunate enough to take a short position prior to the correction, we did signal a bullish options trade on GLD to subscribers on 26 September 2011, the day gold prices bottomed.

Gold Rallies on Euro-zone Inflation Solution / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
No politician wants to end up with his head adorning the railings of some public building, and thus - possibly spurred into action by the video of the grisly end of Colonel Gaddafi - European leaders started to display qualities normally totally alien to them last week, in particular unity and resolve and a rare sense of urgency, in dealing with the acute crisis facing Europe. It did not go as far as statesmanship, however, because that would involve actually dealing with the root causes of the crisis, although with the best will in the world it's too late for that, so instead, predictably, they decided to fall in line with the tried and tested US solution to all economic problems, which is to print money and sell more debt - if they can find anyone dumb enough to buy it, that is, and a nice touch later in the week was the sight of a European representative going cap in hand to meet people with real hard cash in their pockets, the Chinese.

Silver Breakout Rally to Continue / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
Last week the weight of the evidence suggested that silver was late in a base building process, and our judgement that this was the case was vindicated by subsequent action, when it broke out upside from the intermediate base pattern during the week in response to the inflation positive news out of Europe. This is discussed in some detail in the Gold market update, but suffice it to say here that Europe has decided that it will attempt to print its way out of trouble, just like the US, which is great news for holders of inflation hedges like gold and silver.

How Will Gold and Silver React to the EU Bailout Plan? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Eric_McWhinnie
After numerous jukes and headline rumors, the world finally received a so-called EU solution. After threatening with a total insolvency Greece situation, European leaders were able to talk bondholders into accepting a 50% haircut on Greek debt. Furthermore, the euro zone leaders agreed to increase the firepower of the European Financial Stability Facility. The markets reacted quite well to the news, even if it was just a knee-jerk reaction. The Dow surged 340 points, and is now on track for its biggest monthly percentage gain in nearly 25 years.

Will Gold and Silver Go Up Along with the General Stock Market? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
The yellow metal, money for more than three millennia, has a close relationship to other forms of money. Some argue that it isn’t gold that has risen in value in the last decade, as much that fiat currencies have lost value against gold. Ever since gold began its spectacular rise a decade ago, the U.S. dollar has lost over 80% of its purchasing power. The other currencies have not fared much better. The euro and the Japanese yen have lost over 70%. Gold is the only form of money that governments cannot create out of thin air which is why the supply of fiat currencies is expanding exponentially faster than gold supplies, which increase by about only 3% per year.
