Gold and Silver Final Parabolic Upswing? Comparison of Two Bull Markets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In a nutshell, this week we decided to provide you with the analysis of the previous bull market in the precious metals. The goal is to see how the current bull market compares with the previous one. After all, since history rhymes, looking at the analogy should provide us with clues as to what can happen next. In particular, we will be able to estimate if we’re currently on a verge of the final parabolic upswing and if this bull market is likely to end soon.

By: Ben_Traynor

When Yield is Non-Existent, Gold and Silver are In Play / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Personal and institutional finance differ in the most important way; personal finance assumes a limited lifespan, whereas institutional finance operates on the framework of a perpetual life. The lifecycle of an individual investor dictates that with each passing year, risk must be taken off the table to create a better trajectory for a coming retirement.
Years ago, the common line in the retirement planning business centered around the 4% solution to retirement. Retirees could plan on drawing 4% from their accounts each year, a combination of dividends from stock investments, and yields from well-paying fixed income investments.

Gold Stock Investors Buy GDX and GDXJ / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
Yesterday morning I had a conversation with a brilliant reader of mine. We spoke about precious metals, the blatant manipulation of the metals (which I am happy to report the Central banks have been unable to sustain) and to point out two stocks that I had not given their fair due.

Why Invest in Gold, Silver and Platinum Bullion? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Nick_Barisheff
There are many reasons why pension fund managers, private investors and even governments are beginning to add bullion to their portfolios. Perhaps the most important reason for this shift is that bullion provides superior insurance in times of financial uncertainty such as we are facing today.
Until governments solve their debt problems and no longer need to debase their currencies through unbridled money creation, a fully diversified portfolio should include gold, silver and platinum both for wealth protection and growth.

Gold – The Safest Haven? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ian_R_Campbell
I recently read ‘Is the U.S. Dollar Losing Its Safe-Haven Status’ - reading time 2 minutes - thinking time much longer. This article has caused me to re-visit my constant self-debate as to whether physical gold is the best available ‘safe-haven’.While the article is short, it quotes directly from a research note from the Bank Credit Analyst (‘BCA’ – a well-regarded research house). According to the above article, the note says:

The Swiss Franc Abdicates the Crown - Gold and Silver are King! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
On Tuesday, Switzerland abdicated the crown as the safe haven currency and pegged itself to the Euro - 1.2 Swiss Francs to the Euro. This left a void. Who would step in as the safe haven currency? Everyone thought it would be gold and silver. Last night as we slept the Central Bank sold of about a billion dollars in gold to force the price of gold down. This caused the dollar to rise and sent money running to the stock market. This is blatant manipulation of the precious metals market because the Central Bank does not want the middle class having any safe harbor. They want them tied to the fiat paper currencies. In the end it won't work because China will stabilize the PM market but it worked yesterday as the Dow rose 275 and the S&P rose 33.38 points.

Silver SLV ETF Coil Should Resolve to Upside / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Increasingly, my pattern work in the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) is telling me that all of the action off of the Aug 22 recovery high at 42.30 through today's low at 39.21 is taking the form of a large coil that is positioned in the upper 40% of the entire advance from the May corrective low at 31.55.
If my pattern work proves accurate, then today's low should represent the latest coordinate in the coil -- and as such should not be violated if the integrity of the pattern is to be preserved.

Gold False Comparison To 2008 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Whenever it suits Team Titanic from the increasingly tense helm, more phony comparisons are trotted out in baseless news stories posing as legitimate analysis. The latest propaganda plank is that the current financial climate, worse by the week, resembles 2008 and therefore bodes badly for the Gold & Silver prices. The implicit inference has no basis. In the final months of that fateful 2008 year, when Lehman Brothers served as the flagship going down in icy waters, writing the epitaph that marked the historic death event for the US banking industry, not yet recognized, the precious metal price fell by a huge amount in a liquidity drain amidst a grand crisis.

Manipulation and Short-Term Instability of the Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Chapman
August was sure a barnburner and we believe that was a prelude for an even wilder September. How often do you see gold fall $200.00 in 3 days and recover $187 in 6 days? In our 53 years of involvement in this sector we have never seen anything like this. This shows you what government manipulation is all about. Get used to it, this is what living in a corporatist fascist society is all about.

By: David_Banister
A few weeks ago I penned a public article and private forecast for my subscribers calling for a major correction in Gold being due. 72 hours after my forecast, Gold had dropped a stunning $208 per ounce in 3 days catching most by surprise. Why did I forecast a top in Gold then? Why did Gold rally back to new highs recently? Is the Gold Bull Market now over? Let’s see if I can answer those questions with some level of logic below.
