Real Silver Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Zeal_LLC
Thanks to its awesome autumn rally, silver has become something of a rock star in the commodities world. Investors and speculators alike are enthralled with this white metal. But with it just hitting new 30-year highs, many on Wall Street suspect silver is stretching to bull-ending extremes. However once silver’s modern history is recast into real inflation-adjusted terms, this metal’s secular bull is still looking young.

The Gold Bull Market – Two out of Three Ain’t Bad / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Rory_Gillen
The gold bull market, which started from a low of $255 an ounce in early 2001, looks as strong as ever after hitting a new high price of $1,420 an ounce in late December last. In the initial years, gold’s rise had more to do with it being a cheap asset following a 20-year bear market through the 1980s and 1990s. More lately, its strength reflects deep-seated investor concerns regarding ongoing global monetary instability which has been created by persistent global trade imbalances, quantitative easing and the intervention by central banks to weaken their own currencies, of which Japan is the latest example.

By: Midas_Letter

Consolidation in Precious Metals – Range-bound Gold-Silver Ratio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Stall
Having dwelt a lot on the topic of the gold:silver ratio from a technical and quantitative standpoint in our earlier essays, it is about time we examined the ratio fundamentally. In the strictest sense of mean reversion, the ratio between gold and silver should follow a straight line over time. However, as observed in the previous article, the ratio not only has a wide range but also fluctuates between extremes. This means that the prices of gold and silver are perceived differently in different market conditions and a concept of mean reversion is not enough to interpret the gold:silver ratio.

How to Play the Current Silver, Gold and Dollar Reversal / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Vermeulen
This has been an interesting week for traders and investors as precious metals melt down on the back of a rising dollar.

Why Rising Interest Rates are Super-Bullish for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Heading into 2011, the consensus outlook on precious metals is slightly positive but the consensus believes that higher interest rates will ultimately support the US currency and in turn engender a move out of Gold. The Gold naysayers are using “rising rates” as a way to dismiss Gold. Let me explain why this belief is not only false but utterly dangerous.
