Precious Metals Investing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jonathan_Davis
The below is Silver. Silver broke up out of its 1st and 2nd hurdles this week. The 2nd is the lower falling trend line, shown.
It is a fair assumption it will close above this line tonight. In other words, it will have a weekly close above Resistance. This is important to the bullish case.

Firmer Tone in Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod
Following on from last week when Iraq hit the headlines and the price of oil firmed up, gold was steady for the first three trading days. It seemed the shorts just held their breath and hoped Iraq would go away. But with oil prices up yet again yesterday a vicious bear squeeze followed after someone bought over 3,500 gold contracts, driving the price up to just under $1300. Once this level broke at 13.40 New York time, gold jumped a further $15 as stops were triggered.

Gold and Silver Price Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Peter_Vogal
There has always be manipulation, from the smallest levels (individual professional traders) to large size (Inv.Banks & Hedge Funds) and finally the government/central bank. The point I do not agree with is that they can "ultimately" control any market, even such as gold or silver despite their smaller size. The primary drivers of the markets are currencies and bonds because these are a reflection of the health (or illness) within a country's economy. Sure, even these can be moved by gov't policy changes (and moral suasion)(witness Japanese Yen 2012~2013), but for the most part, the free market forces are just too large for even the gov't to pump hundreds of billions per day to move them. Hence, any large enough change in those markets will eventually create a discrepancy between other related markets and consequently affect the stock and commodity markets around the world. No gov't can possibly stand in front of that train for long. If they could, then why did they let gold go up to $2000 and silver to $50?

Swiss Banking Secrecy Under Threat? Gold Storage Companies, Safe or Not? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The media appears to have misread the results of the Credit Suisse case as they did with the UBS case two years ago. Yes, the bank was fined a massive fine in the U.S. but this did not reach back into Switzerland. How come, you may well ask?

The Precious Return of Investment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The financial powers, in the name of government treasuries (along with the IMF) have a keen eye trained on the lowest hanging fruits of monetary assets. What was once unthinkable is fast becoming a reality as bail-ins promise to morph into the confiscation that only precious metals investors have been known for fearing.

Gold Bullish Metals Ratio Charts Indicating a New Healthy Bull Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Trader_MC
First of all, it is important to keep in mind that Miners are extremely undervalued and the down move in Metals was a cyclical bear market within a secular bull market which means that the primary trend is up. Bullish price action and bullish patterns have been taking place since several weeks in Miners and Metals. You can see on the following charts that the HUI/GOLD ratio bottomed almost at the same level as in 2000 which was a major bottom for the Miners Index.

By: Money_Morning

Why Gold's Base Price Should Be North Of $2,000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Steve_St_Angelo
Even though present Geo-political events in Iraq have now pushed up the price of gold due to Brent Crude hitting a new high in 2014, the value of the yellow metal relative to oil is still way below its historical average. Currently, the price of Brent Crude is trading at $113.35, while gold is at $1,275. This is an embarrassing 11.2 to 1 ratio.... thanks to the manipulation by the Fed and member banks.

This Week Ahead Should Be a Major Test For Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Simit_Patel
Gold seems to have found support at 1240, where we saw accumulation form, and has been rallying since. Gold closed the week forming a morning star pattern off the bottom trendline of an ascending triangle. It faces imminent resistance at 1280 -- the top resistance line of the aforementioned triangle -- and the 50 SMA just above that.

Silver to Gold Ratio as a Timing Indicator / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: DeviantInvestor
We all know the silver to gold ratio is important.
• The ratio is low at silver lows, and high at silver highs, because silver both rallies faster and falls deeper than gold.
• The ratio has been erratic over the past 40+ years but the highs and lows approximately mark turning points in the silver and gold markets.

Gold Price Finally Bombed Out / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Aden_Forecast
Gold dropped sharply a couple of weeks ago. Many experts can't explain why, but there are several reasons that make sense...
Safe Haven?
First, gold entered a seasonally slow period. This could last for another month or so but seasonality alone doesn't explain why the decline was so steep and sudden.

Gold and Silver Bottoming Out? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Alasdair_Macleod

The first chart is of the Managed Money short positions in gold futures on Comex, and the second is of silver futures.

BRICS Gold Central Bank Outpost / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jim_Willie_CB
While the West has been mesmerized by the chaos in Ukraine, surely to become an implosion site, while attention has been directed on the Negative Interest Rate Policy coming into view, surely to become the norm for banker skimming on yields, while focus has been on Spain's royalty in abdication, surely a change of the dark nobility guard, the Jackass has yawned and turned the view toward Saudi Arabia, surely a significant event on their fund news. They have announced a new sovereign wealth fund to be established, independent of their central bank, devoted to prudent investment. Read Gold investment. The indication is clear movement away from the USDollar and USTreasury Bond complex.

What Gold Investments Casey Research Staff Are Buying This Summer / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Jeff_Clark
I ran across a business show last week that advertised that its guests would give out stock picks. That piqued my curiosity, so I watched to see what they would recommend.
For disclosure purposes, a chart was shown that listed if the speaker, his family, his fund, or his clients owned the stock. By the end of the show, I was flabbergasted—not one speaker owned any stock they recommended!

Will Import Taxes on Solar Panels Hamper Silver Price Ability to Rally? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2014
By: Bob_Kirtley
Background
Investors are disillusioned by the inability of silver prices to rise to higher ground as silver enters its 4th year of looking anything but sparkling. As a silver bug I think that we have suffered long enough but finding the ignition that will set silver on fire is proving to be difficult. There are a myriad of factors to consider before making an investment in silver such as: supply and demand, price manipulation, industrial usage, jewelry, investment, various metrics such as the gold/silver price ratio, etc. The list is almost endless so today we will look at just one of them which we think is important; the imposition of import duties on solar panels.
