What Billionaire Investors Are Doing with Gold While Your Not Watching / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: MoneyMetals
With each passing day, systemic risks in the financial system become greater. Smart money insiders and billionaire investors are taking note – and taking defensive actions.
Mega-billionaire Carl Icahn, whose long-term track record is unrivaled, recently warned that “there will be a day of reckoning unless we get fiscal stimulus.” Icahn’s hedge fund is betting on a day of reckoning scenario. He has gone 150% net short the stock market while holding commodity-related positions to the long side.

Why the Average Person Should Own Some Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Sol_Palha
"Ability is of little account without opportunity." ~ Napoleon Bonaparte
We live in a world where the main driving force behind this illusory economic recovery is hot money and data manipulation. According to Government stats, inflation is nonexistent, but anyone with a grain of grey matter understands that this is not the real case. Rents, education and medical costs are soaring, and salaries are dropping when inflation is factored in. In simple words, you are working more and more for less and less. This is not the American dream; in fact, it sounds more like the American nightmare. The purchasing power of the dollar has been eroded dramatically over the years. According to the website usinflationcalculator.com, an item that set you back $20.00 in 1913 would cost you over $485 in 2016, for a cumulative rate of inflation of 2320%.

These Conditions Ensure That Gold Stocks Will Continue To Rise Over The Coming Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
Gold stocks need very specific conditions in order to perform well. The last time most of these conditions were present was during the Great Depression. However, conditions are currently shaping up to be even more ideal.
The performance of the Dow is one example of conditions that heavily influences how gold stocks fair.
Historically, gold stocks had some of the best rallies after significant Dow peaks. This was true for the 1929 and 1973 major Dow peaks.

Proof that the Gold Bears are Wrong / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Michael_Swanson
I am bullish on gold and I own gold and mining stocks, because gold is in a bull market.
I have been trying to do my best to tell people this, but many people simply do not believe it.
Gold and the mining stocks went through a very brutal bear market for five years and that makes it hard for people to believe that any of the rallies are real. What is more there are several “experts” that keep calling for gold to fall to $1,000 or even $250 an ounce that are scaring people out of gold.

Gold Falls Despite “Panic” Due To “Supply Issues” In Inter Bank Gold Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: GoldCore
Gold fell again today to its lowest in a week despite continuing uncertainty about the outcome of the Brexit referendum. This is contributing to very significant high net worth and institutional demand in recent days, particularly in the UK, which is leading to “panic” and “supply issues” in the interbank gold market.
Supply issues which respected gold analysts and ourselves have warned in recent years were taking place, would deepen and would ultimately lead to a reset of gold prices to much higher levels.

Gold and its 200 Week Moving Average / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Gary_Savage
I think we can safely assume the Brexit vote is going to fail. This should be bullish for stocks and bearish for the dollar. A falling dollar should be good for gold. However, with stocks and oil moving higher it’s likely to take some focus off gold.

Increase In U.S. Rig Count Will Not Cap Oil Prices / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: OilPrice_Com
The impact of rising oil prices on North American light tight oil (LTO) production is said to be a “Catch 22”, the title of Joseph Heller’s popular 1961 novel set in WWII. The premise was you could get out of the army if you were crazy but you weren’t crazy to try to get out of the army. So this avenue to escape the war didn’t work for the book’s main character John Yossarian. Too many analysts continue to believe drilling and service has the same problem with rising oil prices. With WTI back above $50 a barrel – at least briefly last week – North American LTO developers are putting rigs, service equipment and personnel back to work. The so-called “fraclog” or “DUC” inventory (wells drilled but uncompleted) is being reduced. While this is good it is also thought by some to be temporary.

Will Gold’s Bullish Price Chart Outperform Gold’s 5 Bearish Indicators? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: InvestingHaven
We are very closely watching the trend in the gold market, and we know that readers are doing the same based on the many thousands of views on our latest gold articles.
Earlier this week, we wrote that $1,291 is an extremely important gold price, and that at least 5 consecutive closes above that price would suggest the bull market in gold has returned. We explained why $1,291 is such an important gold price, and why June 2016 is an incredibly important month. Please re-read Gold bull or bear market: Why June 2016 is the most important month of the decade for gold.

The Dow/Silver Ratio Signals All-Time High Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Hubert_Moolman
I have written extensively about the relationship between the Dow and silver prices. One of the points I have emphasized, is the fact that Dow peaks are often followed by silver rallies.
Given the above, its natural that the Dow/Silver ratio is also an important indicator for future silver prices. One example of this, I deal with in my silver fractal analysis report:

Silver Sleeping On the Job / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2016
By: Richard_Mills
In the time of the ancient Babylonians - long before the periodic table - there were seven sacred metals: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and mercury.
In Roman and Greek Mythology, the First Age was called Golden, the Second Age Silver. Apollo, the god of truth and light, and teacher of medicine, carried a silver bow.
The hieroglyph of Isis (Egyptian moon goddess) is a crescent and images of her are usually reproduced with her standing on the Crescent. This has also become the symbol for silver – on old maps a crescent shows the location of a silver mine.

Gold And Silver – Insanity Is World “Norm.” Keep Stacking! / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Michael_Noonan
We know of no discernible line where stupid begins; for sure, it does not end. There are two primary reasons for the never-ending goal of buying and holding physical gold and silver:
1. Both are the only valid form of money. Yeah, yeah, anyone can argue sea shells, livestock, whale’s teeth, barter, any form of paper, etc, etc, etc, but none of them will fly now or even in the last century. When all is said and done, throughout the history of
mankind, gold and silver rule.

Gold Stocks - Bull Markets that Follow Epic Bears / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The gold mining stocks continue to defy any bearish price action or perceived bearish development. Pundits first warned because of the “bearish” CoT data. The commercials are always right and a big decline is coming! Then we heard the miners were too overbought and would have to correct 20%. (I thought this once or twice!) Next we heard Gold was forming a head and shoulders top. Conventional analysis is failing in trying to predict or even explain what is happening and why. A look at history helps explain why the gold mining sector has remained extremely strong and almost immune to any sustained correction. Simply put, history shows that epic bears give birth to bull markets that in their first year do not experience any significant correction or retracement.

Gold Stocks Summer Breakout? / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2016
By: Zeal_LLC
The red-hot gold stocks surged again this week in an apparent early-summer breakout. This strong buying is defying their seasonally-weak odds this time of year. Investors are flocking back to the miners as gold powers higher on also-counter-seasonal strong investment buying. Such unprecedented gold-stock strength in early June highlights how undervalued the miners remain relative to gold, but is suspect.
Summers are usually lackluster times for gold, and thus silver and their miners’ stocks. These summer doldrums exist for a couple reasons. Gold simply enjoys no recurring demand spikes driven by cultural or income-cycle factors in June and July unlike during most of the rest of the year. It’s before the Asian-harvest, Indian-wedding-season, and Christmas gold buying that flares up like clockwork in second halves.
