Gold Heads Towards $1,000 as Forecast 9 Months Ago: So Is The Credit Crunch History? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
Last September when gold was $1,850 I wrote on this column: “I wouldn't be surprised to see gold under $1,000 in the next two years, and yes I know that's a real minority view”. http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article36370.html
I got the usual mildly abusive comments. The kindest was; “This author has written decent articles in the past. I assume he was bored and just wanted some attention”.

Tonnes of Gold Removed From the Major ETFs and COMEX / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
Considering the theory that the purpose of this market operation was designed to take the price of gold lower since the first of the year, and to free up bullion to relieve certain stresses in delivery, I was wondering if we could quantify the results of it in any way.
With the help of Nick at Sharelynx.com, the keeper of records and master of charts, I was able to calculate the approximate number of tonnes of inventory that were released into the market, or some private storage area perhaps, from the top funds and exchanges in the western world. The time period is from the beginning of this year through 26 June.

Gold Stealth Confiscation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
One remarkable thing about today's market action was the rebound in the miners even as gold underwent another waterfall bear raid of selling down to the 1200 level.
While one can assign any motives they wish to the speculation about if and why there is a stealth confiscation happening, I do believe that the trigger for this was the request from Germany to have their sovereign gold returned, and the refusal of the custodian in New York to do so until 2020.

How Europe Will Help Gold Shine Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
Martin Hutchinson writes: The Good News: The euro crisis has failed to explode in the last three years, in spite of repeated predictions that it would. Many commentators now rejoice that the problem is solved.
The Bad News: Don't believe it. While a few of the countries have made steps toward recovery, there are still several that haven't, and, by and large, those that haven't are larger than those that have.

Who Killed the Gold Price? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
The gold price may have taken a tumble, but Ian Gordon, chairman and founder of the Longwave Group in British Columbia, is watching for a recovery. As bullishness in gold reaches some of its lowest levels, Gordon, in this interview with The Gold Reportsays he believes that is indicative of a turn and he discusses where he has invested his money to ride the upswing.
The Gold Report: On April 15, the gold price plunged about 9%—the biggest one-day loss ever for the yellow metal. Many gold investors got "murdered" that day. Has your personal investigation revealed any suspects?

History's Opinion on the Gold Price Crash / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
This crash in gold is hardly unprecedented. Nor is the likely price action over the next one and 3 months...

Time for Gold to Climb the Wall of Worry? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
Zeroxzero said it best last night: Reading the apocalyptic tone in many of the comments today — the imminent demise of Japan, the imminent demise of France, the inevitable implosion of China, the Demolition Derby of Euro, Yen, Dollar and Swissie, and the collapse of gold — all viewed against the fiery background of a Middle East abandoned to war because we don't need its oil anymore, a Brazil, Australia, Latam & Africa whose commodities are now worthless, and an Asia and India whose cheap labor has become superfluous — I have been given the sense that we are now riding the Fifth Wave up the Limpopo with Yellow Jack.

Gold and Silver Life Cycle Nears End – The Final Stage of Denial / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
The life cycle of most things not matter what it is (living, product, service, ideas etc…) go through four stages and the stock market is no different. Those who recently gave in and bought gold, silver, mining stocks, coins will be enter this stage of the market in complete denial. They still think this is a pullback and a recover should be just around the corner.
Well the good news is a recovery bounce should be nearing, but if technical analysis, market sentiment and the stages theory are correct then a bounce is all it will be followed by years of lower prices and dormancy.

The Fed’s Forked Tongue, Means Gold's Price Rise Will be Explosive / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
When Helicopter Ben Bernanke
Said the helicopter would descend
The markets reacted and quickly fell
Fearing the party would end
But they forgot that Ben’s a banker
A breed whose trust is low
And they didn’t stop to consider
It might only be part of the show

Gold Expected Rally Could Taper off by Mid July / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
The $88/oz. drop in gold last Thursday surely got the attention of a few - instilling fear in those who are still long the metal and greed in those who are not. While I doubt a final low will be seen in gold until the end of the year (the subject of another commentary) the time for a short bounce appears to be upon us.
