Gold, and the Value of the U.S. Dollar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Alasdair_Macleod

I very rarely criticise the work of others, but I am going to make an exception in the case of Paul van Eeden, of Cranberry Capital. Mr van Eeden, in an interview with The Gold Report stated that “the value of gold is about $900 per oz. Expectations of monetary inflation are keeping gold prices high.” He states that quantitative easing is not producing the inflation expected. The purpose of this article is to point out some of the fallacies behind his approach, and in this respect, Mr van Eeden is far from alone. And this is where a number of basic errors are committed.

Gold 'Monetary Collapse Insurance' / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Ben_Traynor

Why investors are turning to gold ahead of 2013...

Although the price of gold has fallen over the last couple of months, there has been a marked increase in demand for physical bullion.

The amount of bullion held to back gold exchange-traded funds has risen to record levels. November meantime saw the United States Mint record its best month for sales of gold American Eagle coins since July 2010.

Gold And Silver - Market Is Always Right, And It Leaves Footprints / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Michael_Noonan

One can take comfort in the maxim, “The Market Is Always Right,” [or "Never Wrong"],
in the realization that trading in harmony with it will make the odds of profitable
success much higher than otherwise. Understanding and reading the market’s message
is an art form, for there is nothing mechanical about it. The market is totally
unbiased, and it provides all the information it generates for everyone to see/read,
at the same time. Just because you may not “see” it, does not mean the information
is not there. If it remains hidden, then it remains hidden under the brightest light.

German Gold Repatriation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: MISES

The greatest threat to worldwide prosperity is the collapse of what remains of free-market capitalism. Not depletion of scarce natural resources. Not environmental degradation. Not global warming (or is it "climate change" now?) No, the greatest threat to worldwide prosperity is the complete collapse of what little remains of free-market capitalism. Throughout the world, and not just in totalitarian countries, the state has been advancing at the expense of economic liberty. The indispensible tool that enables the modern state to usurp our liberties is its access to unlimited amounts of fiat money controlled by central banks — i.e., the unholy alliance of the state with the central bank.

Own Physical Gold Now - While You Still Can! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: GoldCore

“Farther from care than danger…”

The title above is a quote from Sir Thomas More’s classic, Utopia, describing a people’s overconfidence in their capacity for navigation given the compass for the first time.

I found the quote used by Stanley Jevons in his 1866 classic of another sort, The Coal Question. Jevons was writing about the physical limits to coal production, and forecasting, with some accuracy, the inevitable consequence of a peak, decline and exhaustion of Britain’s coal reserves.

The Cause of Extreme Weather Events / Commodities / Climate Change

By: Richard_Mills

Over the last few months we have been witness to many extreme weather events - heat waves, Europe suffering from a severe cold snap, the worst in twenty five years, extreme flooding in Australia, Brazil and China, to drought in the U.S. Many say the cause is global warming, and lay the blame squarely on greenhouse gas emissions caused by human activity.

Are we, and our activities at fault? What can we look forward to if/as the earth continues to warm?

Gold Confiscation Lessons from the 20th Century / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Adrian_Ash

Three nasty examples of how people lost the gold they owned...

TODAY'S chatter in the trading rooms says some gold owners fear a punitive US tax hike in New Year 2013, with the Obama government targeting precious-metal investors.

Hence this month's sell-off (or so the tittle-tattle says) – akin to the move by Japanese households to sell gold in late 2011 ahead of new reporting rules for precious-metals dealers.

Gold and Silver Investments and the Rise of False Contrarian Gurus / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

The typical technical analysis based stock-slinging newsletter is written by a contrarian who denies market manipulation and often ridicules those who attempt to discuss it seriously and rationally.

Furthermore, the degree of denial and hostility faced by proponents of market manipulation theories is usually directly proportional to the amount of evidence actually underpinning the issue.

Silver Investment Opportunity Time is Slipping Away / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Everything has been distorted by the media.  Humanity may no longer believe that the sun revolves around the earth, but some people still think that they can control nature.

Nevertheless, with all the truly breathtaking science that has resulted in great social progress and technological advancement, the mass distortions in perception caused by propaganda — including illegal, unethical and immoral media intervention — will resolve itself eventually.

The Next Stage of America's Rise to Energy Dominance / Commodities / Natural Gas

An incredible shift in the global energy markets is going on right now... and it's about to make the United States the world's most important producer of oil and natural gas.
 
Most people don't realize it, of course. Americans are used to thinking of our country as dependent on shaky, hostile nations for our energy needs.

Gold Stocks Secondary Bottom Soon, Bullish Trend 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2013

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

I have to admit, I never saw the gold stocks correcting this much. After making a textbook double bottom and registering very strong momentum readings, I expected a relatively tame October correction to be followed by another leg higher into year end. I thought GDX would bottom at $49. Obviously I was wrong on all counts. It’s difficult to make predictions when they are about the future. Kidding aside, forecasts are only a guide or a potential road-map. No one can predict the future. However, we can assess risk, reward and probabilities. We think the current probabilities favor a secondary bottom in the gold stocks and very soon the risk/reward dynamic will be heavily in favor of longs.

Gold, True Safe Havens Needed as Fed Monetizes Uncle Sam / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Eric_McWhinnie

A financial safe haven is generally an instrument that is expected to hold or increase its value in the face of market turbulence. It is used by investors to reduce exposure to declines resulting from downturns in the market or economy. What is considered a safe haven can change depending on market conditions, but a few asset classes typically come to mind. In the current financial landscape, there is a growing need for true safe havens.

Can Gold Keep Its Luster in 2013? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Clif_Droke

Gold took a double hit recently based partly on a news item from the rumor mill that a large fund in Asia was selling to "run the stops."

"The sale looks like a carefully crafted trade prepped and successfully executed by a well known $14b US fund," according to one source. "Prior to the sale there had been an unusually large purchase of gold 'puts' - a leveraged options play that profits from a downward spike in prices. There had also been some early selling on the overnight electronic platform presumably to test the waters before the big guns fired a devastating salvo."

Why did Central Banks Stop Selling Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

In 2009 the signatories of the Central Bank gold Agreement effectively stopped selling gold. This was just after signing the third Central Bank Gold Agreement which lasts until September 26th 2014. Why?

In 1999, the first of such agreements was signed by the U.K. and was called the Washington Agreement. It received the tacit blessing of the U.S.A. and Japan. This was followed by the signing of the Central Bank Gold Agreement, which ran from 27th September 2004 to the 26th September 2009. Ostensibly to accommodate the I.M.F.'s sale of 403 tonnes of gold on their own books, a third Central Bank Gold Agreement was signed to run from the 27th September 2009 to the 26th September 2014. Apart from the up-to 7 tonnes year of gold sales by Germany's central bank for the minting of gold coins, there have been virtually no sales of gold from the original signatories of their gold. In fact the previously announced sales (going back to the turn of the century) have not been fulfilled completely, even now. Once the I.M.F. completed their sales of gold, the absence of the developed world's central banks from the sale side of gold spoke volumes! How?

How Will I Know When To Sell My Gold? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

NEVER sell your gold because you want to hold it for the rest of your life and pass it on to your grandchildren.

Or

Sell your gold NOW (big mistake – my opinion) if you believe that gold is in a bubble or never should have been bought (as per “gold-bashers” Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger).
