Gold on Track to Reach $1860 - $1920 by Mid 2011 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
The Golden Parabola is continuing to follow the cycle of the 70’s Gold Bull as the U.S. Dollar is further devalued against Gold to balance the budget of the United States at this point in the “paper currency cycle” where Global Competitive Currency Devaluations rule. As discussed in a recent editorial this point in the cycle suggests that Gold will soon enter into a more aggressive higher rise in price as it starts to project the higher Vth Wave characteristics of this new Golden Parabola.

Gold Explorer Stocks GLDX ETF Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
Junior gold explorers represent a vital component of the global gold supply chain.

Silver Rally Can’t Stop to Breathe / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
Investors don’t know what to do with commodities. Traders are asking, “is it too late?” and “have we gone too high?” The question, of course, isn’t easy to answer, but the simple reality is that there won’t be too high of prices until the dollar becomes too low.
In light of recent events around the world, the Fed has remained incredibly lax in its policy to push interest rates and the dollar to zero. Most every central bank has tightened, is expected to tighten, or must tighten (think China) to keep their currencies from plunging to zero.

Silver Parabolic Blowoff, Gold Price Steady / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
The virtues of gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) are being addressed far and wide. My readers know the steady drumbeat of praise that is reaching a crescendo for the white metal scares the hell out of me. The driving forces behind silver’s price come from investors, industrial demands and a global shortage. The world simply is using more silver than the mines produce and new silver discoveries are becoming difficult to find. These factors are becoming truisms for public consumption. A parabolic rise has formed in silver as gold advances on to our measured target of $1600.

Silver Top or Not? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
When gold hit the psychologically important $1,500 level it didn't surprise us, but we admit that silver’s recent performance gave us a small thrill. Before jumping into the chart analysis, let’s have a look into the factors that contributed to metals’ spectacular rally over the past couple of weeks.
For the first time in its history the U.S.'s perfect AAA credit rating was downgraded, and for the first time in history, gold hit the $1,500-an-ounce mark. Also, the news over the week end of a $1 billion gold bullion purchase by one of the largest college endowment funds sent a strong message about gold’s re-emergence as a respected, legitimate asset class.

Silver Parabolic Move Was 5 Times Faster in 1980 than Today / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
This essay will attempt to address the question of whether or not silver prices are in a bubble, or possibly may be turning into a bubble and if so what trading strategies may be suited to the situation. This article will hopefully provide another string to the readers bow in attempting to identify bubbles and being able to protect one’s portfolio and even potentially profit from them. For the record we feel it is prudent to state our view upfront, we do not think silver is in a bubble at this point in time. However we think that it is likely that it will become a bubble in the future, but we cannot say when or at what price.

Silver Bullion Investors Are Being Hoodwinked by the Futures Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
The Silver market is in a bubble stage right now. No one really knows how long this will last, whether Silver goes up another $5, 10, 20 doesn`t really matter for investors who are buying the physical metal in the form of coins because when the bubble ends they are going to be sitting on a depreciating asset.
