By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The gold price has continued to look solid in the $650 area. Confidence in the banking, not just the mortgage system was given quite a blow last week. The $ rallied, but is in the process of turning down again. What lies ahead and why? Here are some of our views, which were published in the latest edition of the Gold Forecaster last week.

Is it Too Late to Buy Gold At This Price? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Michael_J_Kosares
Gold price relativity : What gold owners can learn from the stock bull market of the 1990s
For contemporary market analysis, history begins in the year 1971 when the dollar was detached from gold and the era of free floating gold and exchange rates began. First, we had a gold bull market which began in 1971 and lasted until roughly the 1982/85 time period. Then we had a stock bull market that began in between 1982/85 and topped in roughly 2000. The current bull market in gold began in 2000 and, if it were to follow form, could be expected to top sometime around 2015-2017.

Gold and Silver Analysis - Precious Points: Liftoff? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Joe_Nicholson
“If … an ongoing correction pattern since the May 2006… proves to be the case, gold will have to plunge at least to the 50-week moving average and quite possibly lower. Hence the caution expressed in the newsletter recently. If the gains in precious metals are not corrective and in fact are already the start of a truly impulsive bullish wave, then not only will the target for the corrective wave be exceeded, we could easily see gold move over $800 and challenge nominal all time highs.Read full article...

Gold - The Real Deal Bull Market and Store of Value / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Brian_Bloom
In this analyst's view, if the Gold Share Indices break up relative to Commodities Index on the following two charts – which have been “dumbed down” to 7.5% X 3 box reversal to cut out all trading noise – then that will be a leading indicator pointing to the “Real Deal”. Gold will be unarguably on its way on its journey to becoming a genuine store of wealth in turbulent times.Read full article... Read full article...

The stated reason was to achieve higher income while the real reason was to suppress the price. If you believe their stated reason then you also probably believe that the reason the Fed stopped reporting the M3 money supply numbers in 2006 was to save money as they explained.Read full article...

Gold & the End of History's Holiday, Bloombergs Article Implies Mainstream Consensus is Still Opposed to Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Adrian_Ash
"...The 1990s failed to mark the end of history. It just took a short holiday, instead – and at the very same time, historians and pundits alike announced the 'death of gold', too..."
