Fantasy #1:

Gold Price Has Passed the Lows / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
We preface this article by stating that we are neither gold bears nor bulls. We traders and we target trades with the best possible risk reward dynamics, regardless of market direction. At the founding of our service, SK OptionTrader, we were bullish on the yellow metal and banked considerable profits as gold rallied to all-time highs. Beginning in 2013 we took a heavily bearish view, and again banked triple digit returns on gold as it declined. Now, we believe we have seen the lows and are preparing to get long gold once again.

Gold and Silver Rally, Miners Spanked on Stock Option Expiry / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
"Price discovery is not a sexy function of markets, but it is critical to the efficient allocation of scarce capital and resources, and to the preservation of the long term wealth of investors and the economy as a whole. If price discovery is compromised by manipulation, then we will all be gradually impoverished and the economy will be imbalanced and unstable."

Gold And Silver: New World Order: Public Be Damned, Preferably Dead / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
In the midst of this political and economic maelstrom that appears to be reaching its peak since the pivotal 9/11 "attack" on the US, when the twin towers of the World Trade Center were destroyed, partially by an airplane flying into each tower, then more fully by the detonation of all the explosives planted in the buildings to insure their destruction. Should there be any question as to that assessment, which has gained greater acceptance by those willing to do their due diligence, the unprovoked destruction of building seven [WTC 7] adds proof of how these buildings were planned for certain demolition, in advance.

Gold Price in 2016 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
We all know that gold prices in US dollars have been in a downtrend for about 4.5 years.
We all know that gold prices rise, on average, as the underlying currency declines in value. Gold in the US was priced under $21 per ounce when the Federal Reserve was established. Since then the dollar has been devalued and gold has increased in price by a factor of about 50.
It is the same story around the world, whether you evaluate in terms of British pounds, euros, rubles, yen, or any other debt based fiat paper currency.

The U.S. dollar price of gold declined in 2015, but the same year gold advanced in many other currencies. What can we learn from this behavior?
The London spot price of the shiny metal, in U.S. dollars, declined 9.56 percent from $1172 to $1060 last year, marking its fourth full year in a bear market. It also fell from the perspective of the Swiss franc, British pound and Japanese yen. However, gold prices quoted in other major currencies show a different picture.

How Precious Metals Investors Can Trump the Establishment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
As the presidential primaries quickly approach, the establishment is in panic mode over the prospect of losing control. It’s not just about Donald Trump. The political class, the “mainstream” media, Wall Street, and the central banking cartel are all losing credibility in the eyes of the public.
2016 is shaping up as the year of “We’re not gonna take it anymore” – in more ways than one. It’s an encouraging development for precious metals investors and sound money advocates.

Silver, Silliness, Gold, and Risk / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
The movie “The Big Short” features Michael Burry. His statement from Zerohedge:

Betrayed By The Gold Silver Ratio ? Gold Bug heresy? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
“ET TU BRUTE ?” “Cuo Bono ?”
“It's a long time from now to never....” Says 'John Snow' in Game of Thrones. In my opinion, probably as far as from here / now to “It must go back to....” uttered so much in the worship of the Gold Silver Ratio (GSR). And yet it doesn't, at least not until you suffer your stops being run and a loss of capital, or worse. Your Capital was just betrayed at the hands of The GSR.

What’s Up with the HUI and Gold ? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
“UP” it was, but the intermediate term chart is certainly not that impressive, given the pandemonium that has been taking place since the start of the New Year.
The index does seem to have carved out a bottom just above the 100 level but it must take out initial resistance near 140 and then again above the 50 period moving average to give chartists some reason to turn more solidly bullish. As things stand now, all it looks like the index has done is to bounce off a bottom and trek higher towards to the upper bounds of a sideways trading pattern. For a bullish breakout to occur, 150 will have to be cleared.

Gold And Silver – Why More Important Than When. Going Lower Before Moving Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
When the globalist’s central bankers are in control, primarily the US/UK, they are proving their ability to supersede the natural forces of supply and demand with impunity. When they have the ability to “print” unlimited amounts of fake fiat, no other country can stand in the way, not even China.
On the other hand, neither China nor Russia wants to oppose the globalist forces of evil, for both of those nations see what is unfolding on the world’s stage is the kabuki theater death dance of the US and the inexorable fading away of the fiat Federal Reserve Note.

Gold to Equities Ratios Have Bottomed / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
It has been a strong start to 2016 in precious metals, today notwithstanding. Gold was able to break above daily resistance at $1080 to $1090 while miners climbed higher until Friday's reversal. Rather than focus on the nominal gains I want to turn our attention to Gold's performance against other markets and asset classes. It is starting to turn in Gold's favor and that is imperative if the precious metals bear market is to end in 2016.
