No Gold Summer Doldrums, End of Action for Mining Stocks? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis will be an August to remember – no summer “dulldrums” this year. Gold has risen roughly 12% this month and nearly 30% year to date. Gold prices had a trading range of more than $300 in August.

Stocks are a different story. Wall Street ended the month with losses that came with an extended rout the first three weeks, with the current batch of gains only denting the damage. Since the start of July the FTSE 100 has lost 10.6%. The S&P is down 8.2%. The NIKKEI 225 has lost 8.8%, while the German DAX has plunged 22.6%. By contrast, gold prices have gained nearly 23% over the same period.

Maximizing Profits from The Real Gold and Silver Bull / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: DeepCaster_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis Article“There has been a pattern developing in the Federal Reserve’s weekly money supply reporting, however, that is worthy of note, with surging M2 growth being reported in the Fed’s now-broadest money measure.  The growth largely can be accounted for by an apparent flight from large time deposits and institutional money funds (officially ignored components of the Fed’s once-broadest money measure, M3).  The cash flows here are suggestive of concerns over banking-system solvency (see Hyperinflation Watch).

(Ed. note: Indeed, the U.S. M2 Money supply accelerated 2.2% in July, 2011 from the prior month; the fastest pace in 52 years.)

Gold Heading for $2000 or $1500? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFor the last week and more gold has been on a roller coaster moving between $100 and $200 each way until now where it is hovering above $1,800. A broad spectrum of analysts points to $1,500 or above $2,000. With gold currently just above $1,800 we are around the half-way point for each move. The move each way would represent a move of just over 16%, which is not deeply significant in today's gold world except for the trading fraternity; there is more, however, beneath these moves than meets the eye!

Silver Mining Stocks Lagging Bullion Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThis last year for silver has been awesome!  After a sideways grind in the $15 to $20 range for most of the first three quarters of 2010, silver’s September breakout unleashed a beast that has been nearly unstoppable.  By the end of that breakout month silver blasted through its bull high from early 2008, and has more than doubled since!

As an investor who’s been accumulating a bunch of this metal for over a decade, it’s been exhilarating watching my trove grow in value.  Our newsletter subscribers have also been rewarded handsomely, as at Zeal we’ve been recommending physical silver since late 2001 when it was just over $4.  Silver bullion should be a foundational component of everyone’s portfolio!

How Much Physical Gold is Held by SPDR Gold Trust ETF? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Eric_McWhinnie

Precious metals (NYSE:DBP) investors have enjoyed the past decade as gold (NYSE:GLD) and silver (NYSE:SLV) outperform just about everything in the market. They are starting to capture interest across the mainstream media as investors seek out strong returns in a slowing and troubled economy. The investment world met the increasing demand for gold and silver by creating ETFs. In fact, one of the most popular ETFs in the world is the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD). The only subject that rivals the popularity of precious metals is a good old fashion gold or silver conspiracy theory. A recent gold special by CNBC set out to disprove a popular conspiracy theory about GLD. Unfortunately, CNBC’s special only raises more questions in the precious metals community.

Gold is for wealth preservation and Silver is for bartering / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: George_Maniere

Gold is for wealth preservation and silver is for bartering. If we are talking about protecting wealth in the amount of several million dollars then a good spread to own in precious metals would be 80% gold and 20% silver. If we are talking about a “Mad Max” scenario where we are trying to set ourselves up for a black market bartering system then a good spread would be 75% silver and 25% gold. I will leave it to you to determine what would be an appropriate ratio for you based on the assets you are trying to protect.

GLD ETF Gold Tracking / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Doug_Horning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRecently, we’ve received a number of emails from readers asking why the primary gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD), doesn’t more closely track the price of gold, and other related questions. For those readers who aren’t already familiar with the workings of this innovative way to “own gold,” it’s worth going over a few of the details, because there are some common misunderstandings regarding the ETF.

Gold Bullion Extended, Miners Just Beginning Potential Breakout / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Jeb_Handwerger

           The action in the precious metals raises speculations of interest to Gold Stock Trades subscribers especially in the labyrinth created by a fear driven market.  Gold at this time is participating in a runaway move past resistance.  Although gold has reached new record highs it may be stalling in its attempt to continue moving parabolic, while the undervalued miners play catch up.  What may this hesitation signal and shrinking of the divergence between miners and bullion mean to my readers?

China’s Rare Earths Squeeze / Commodities / Metals & Mining

By: Anthony_David

China’s policy of tightening its rare earth export quota has been causing quite a furor in the rare earth metals market since 2009. With increasing technological advances, the demand for rare earth metals is only increasing worldwide and the declining supply is causing prices to shoot upwards. Prices can come down only if end users reduce production and thereby reduce demand. However, that is an unlikely situation and even if it did happen, the effects are likely to be short lived.

Solar Demand Drives Silver Prices Higher / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Anthony_David

Fears of a declining industrial demand for silver following the financial problems in Europe and the US kept silver prices at modest levels during early August. Prices did rise in mid-August improving the outlook for the precious metal. The risk of increasing inflation in China leading to a slower economic growth in the country is another concern for the global silver industry.

           Gold may not be the perfect safe haven but it’s sure the best one we have and we can use all of the confidence we can muster.
           Consumer confidence in the U.S. fell this month to the lowest level since March of 2009. Just to refresh your memory that was when the Dow was at 6400, the S&P was at 667 and the NASDAQ was trading at 1265.

David Bettencourt writes: CNBC’s Bob Pisani brings in the CNBC cameras for a look inside the gold vault of the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD). GLD is the largest exchange traded fund (ETF) in the world, backed by gold in a secret location in London. This is the largest private gold reserve in the world with more than 1,200 metric tons.
