Gold And Silver Market Bottoming? Big Rally Imminent? Reality Check Says NO / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Michael_Noonan
The developing events over the past few months are so varied, seemingly unrelated but are all tied in, just not in a cognitive manner that makes sense, and almost all them are based upon lies by one government after another, the worst offender being the US.
We find it hard to make a cohesive explanation as to their impact. This increasingly maze of events is mean to confuse, to deflect. It is a key element of the elites creating problems, reactions [usually confusion or panic by the masses], and offering solutions. Cyprus and Greece are similar examples. The Ukrainian coup by the US, sanctions against Russia that have so badly backfired. China an added part of the SDR, then maybe not. The list is much longer.

Gold and Silver Shaken, Not Stirred / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Submissions
Chart Freak write: After a solid 5 day rally, gold sold off on Thursday, and the precious metals miners were sold-off indescriminetly. Both GDX and GDXJ were down almost 6%, leading many to be shaken out of position on the pullback. For me, these events are expected and become opportunities, so lets examine the charts to see why.

Gold and Silver Offer The Most Profitable Secular Opportunity Today / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldSilverWorlds
July was a horrible month for precious metals prices. Sentiment reached levels never seen before. As metals and the miners broke through a long term support line, so did pessimism.
To get an idea of the level of pessimism, we are including a very long term chart going back to 1992 (courtesy of Sentimentrader). As readers can see, market sentiment in the last 2 years is worse than the bear market lows of 1998 – 2000.

Desolation Row: The Silver Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: DeviantInvestor
Silver peaked in 1980 and then crashed into “Silver Desolation Row” in 1999 – 2001, like now.
The 1970s decade was the time for commodity price increases and inflation. The 1980s and 1990s saw a preference for paper assets and stocks, while commodities, gold, and silver prices collapsed.

Gold Price at a Crossroads / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Dan_Norcini
Gold has had a nice run off the Chinese yuan devaluation news with short covering the dominant reason behind the buying.
Markets that have a decent sized speculative short position are always subject to bouts of sharp price rises as shorts scurry for cover. The question is not whether or not shorts are covering - they are. The question is, "Are there large numbers of specs who are willing and eager to assume NEW LONG positions?"

Gold & Silver Correlations for August 2015 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Mike_McAra
Correlation seems almost like a magical word. In fact, most people don’t have to use this term more often than a couple of times a year. In the world of investing, however, correlation is an important concept which has to do with how different assets move in relation to one another. Before we even dive into what correlation means in the world of statistics, we’ll focus on the intuition behind it.

U.S. and Canadian Mint Dysfunction Snowballs as Silver Coin Premiums Rise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Submissions
Clint Siegner writes: Lower precious metals prices on Wall Street aren't necessarily bringing lower prices on Main Street.
The retail market for gold and silver coins, bars, and rounds has been swamped with high demand since mid June. Both the U.S. Mint and the Royal Canadian Mint continue to run into serious issues keeping up with retail silver coin demand.

Owing More Than Half Of The World's Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold has bottomed in terms of just about everything like oil (in 2005), platinum (2008) and the Dow (1999). One important measure in terms of which it has not bottomed is the amount of currency (US adjusted monetary base).
This monetary base, as the name suggests, is at the root of debt or money creation in this debt-based monetary system. If this system was honest, then this monetary base would basically reflect gold available at the Treasury or Federal Reserve to redeem currency issued by the Federal Reserve.

Gold and Silver Halfway Home? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Rambus_Chartology
First off I'm on a working one week family vacation down on the panhandle of Florida which is why I didn't get to post any late Friday Night Charts. It just so happened that this week was the best week to get the family together before school starts in a couple of weeks. I will still be watching the markets and posting each day but if nothing important is happening I may knock off a little early.
I also want to thank everyone who is posting at the forum. It really is a great place to share your idea's and ask question as we have some really talented folks there. As Sir Fullgoldcrown likes to say, "It's all for one and one for all." Whatever it takes to get an edge makes no difference to me as long as we get the edge.

Gold Price’s Artificial Lows / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Zeal_LLC
With gold languishing near deep secular lows, its technicals look hopelessly broken. Sentiment is off-the-charts bearish, with traders universally convinced gold is doomed to spiral lower indefinitely. But gold’s weakness this year is very deceiving, as it wasn’t the product of global fundamental supply-and-demand forces. Extreme record shorting by American futures speculators spawned these artificial lows.
Gold’s price is its price, so how the metal got way down here may seem irrelevant. But nothing could be farther from the truth! Fundamentally-driven lows are righteous. If the world gold supply expands faster than demand, or demand contracts faster than supply, then the resulting lows are real. They will persist for as long as fundamentals remain unfavorable, as gold’s sellers have no obligations whatsoever to return.

The Next Silver Bull Market May Have Already Started / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Casey_Research
By Laurynas Vegys
Silver is down 7.1% this year. Will this weakness persist? To find out, let’s look at the key factors in the silver market this year.
- Like gold, silver fell as the US dollar rose on the back of expectations that the Fed will hike rates.
- World demand for physical silver fell 4% in 2014, largely due to a record 19.5% drop in investment demand.
- Silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) did not see big liquidations in 2014. ETF holdings grew by 1.4 million ounces and recorded their highest year-end level at 636 million ounces.

History Repeats. Gold Protect From Devaluations and Risks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: GoldCore
- Simplistic gold analysis speculates solely on price
- Forgets vital importance of diversification
- Lorcan Roche Kelly’s analysis lacks all context
- Ignores huge physical demand for gold coins and bars
- Today’s world is very different to the world of the 1980s and 1990s
- Alas, financial crisis has been postponed not averted
- Physical gold will have value when paper and digital wealth is devalued, confiscated or inaccessible …

Gold Price Rebound or Another Breakdown? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The precious metals complex has attempted to stabilize over the past few weeks. Some markets have had more success than others. Gold has been able to hold $1080/oz while GDXJ has also held its recent low. The large cap indices (GDX, XAU, HUI) have grinded lower to new bear market lows this week. This leads us to the near term predicament. Is the sector basing before a rebound or merely consolidating before another steep leg down?

The Myth of Gold Price Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015
By: Clif_Droke
How eager are gold bugs to believe their ill fortune over the last four years is the result of sinister forces rather than a lack of prudence on their own part? The answer is easily seen in the writings of gold commentators over the last few months. References to organized manipulation and an official conspiracy to suppress the gold price abound among many analysts and their followers.
The collective passion behind this belief has reached a fever pitch and has created something akin to mass hysteria within the gold investing community. To even question this ingrained belief is to elicit the scorn of the conspiracy crowd. So ingrained is their belief that gold’s losses in the last four years are the result of manipulation that they refuse to pay heed to the underlying fundamental and technical reasons for the metal’s 4-year bear market.
