The Great Game, Gold Arbitrage & Three Little Pigs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dan_Amerman

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Great Game

An astute reader from Atlanta named Ken wrote the following in a letter to me:

"It seems that the game plan (for financial heavyweights) is to buy assets, real things that can't be papered away by the government, and pay back with depreciated dollars."

Gold Long Term Bull Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Tony_Caldaro

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePatrick McGough writes: The Gold Bull market started during the first quarter of 2001, and has now been in play for approximately 11 1/2 years. Commodity cycles tend to have 13 year bull markets and 21 year bear markets. This completes a 34 year cycle and for the moment Gold appears to be in the last 1-1 1/2 years of this cycle. Fortunately for us traders this tends to be the most explosive part of the cycle. In the actual economy Gold really does not serve as a commodity but as a currency. If this were not the case why do central banks accumulate or hold gold as reserves? The yellow metal is truly the currency of last resort.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWHOLESALE gold prices in US Dollars dipped beneath $1760 per ounce for the 3rd time this week in London on Wednesday morning, gaining against the Euro and Sterling as those currencies fell faster and rising back towards last week's new all-time high versus the Swiss Franc.

Measuring Gold Fiat Currency Performance Since 1971 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn 1971 President Nixon closed the window that allowed U.S. dollars to be sold for gold owned by the U.S. Just before that, the price of gold was $35 an ounce. Since then gold has been called a 'barbarous relic', a term used by Keynes, the famous economist.From that time on, the world's currencies stood merely on the confidence their governments engendered and the control they exercised over international financial dealings of all kinds. That confidence lasted until 2007 when the credit crunch brought government financing on both sides of the Atlantic into question. Up until now the performance of the underlying value of currencies has hidden these questions as exchange rates are adequately 'managed' through swap arrangements to stabilize exchange rate movements to the extent that violent moves don't happen. But the real value of currencies in terms of their real solvency is now a matter of open debate. As of now, relative to the amount of gold available to markets, the price of gold is the only measure of value that currencies can be held to. We look at that and look at the conditions that are determining the value of currencies now and in the future.

Manipulation of the Gold Price and the Crash of Paper Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: GoldSilverWorlds

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThere is much discussion these days as to whether the price of gold is being manipulated. The answer is simply “yes.”

It is likely that most potential gold investors would agree that the major financial institutions have the ability to influence the gold price. They would also agree that to do so would be of benefit to those institutions. Yet, many investors still have difficulty making the final leap to agree that, if the institutions can manipulate the gold price and, by doing so, will profit from it, they will actually manipulate the price. Odd, as this would seem to me to be the easiest of the three premises to accept.

Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Buy Silver Again / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Submissions

Kerry Kutz submits: Silver hits $35 and gets driven down again
We were in Chicago for the HardAssets conference last week. This was a new show that was sparsely attended. However, there were some good companies telling their stories and I think you'll enjoy hearing about them. If we own them or plan to own them, we'll always let you know. We don't tout stocks for anyone. All we do is tell their stories. But there's another story that's far more important than that of any precious metals producer. And that is market rigging. Chris Powell of GATA.org said it best when he uttered the phrase, "There are no longer any markets, only interventions."

How Gold and Silver Safe Haven in Today's Troubled World  / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

The reasons for holding precious metals as a relatively safe haven for one’s personal wealth are numerous. 

One common investing thesis for buying precious metals is that these intrinsically valuable commodities can hold their value in times of rising price levels. This characteristic can help American savers keep pace with credit expansion and paper currency debasement.

Investor Gold Buying to Resume & Fed Doubling Their Balance Sheet AGAIN! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Chris_Vermeulen

A leading precious metals consultancy, Thomson Reuters GFMS, has forecast that investors will buy record amounts of gold in the remainder of 2012. GFMS produces the benchmark supply and demand statistics for the gold market. GFMS forecasts that investors will purchase 973 tons of gold in the second half of 2012, more than during the wild gold market of the summer of 2011. This surge in demand for the yellow metal, GFMS says, will move gold above the $1850 an ounce level, not far from the record high of $1920 hit in September 2011.

New Silver Price Upleg / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Zeal_LLC

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSilver has certainly enjoyed an impressive run of late, catapulting nearly a third higher since mid-summer.  Because this surge looks nearly vertical on short-term charts, some traders are getting nervous about this rally’s staying power.  While silver may indeed be temporarily overbought, its recent strength actually looks like the vanguard of a major new upleg.  Silver’s advance is likely just getting started.

Skepticism of silver’s potential continues to run rampant among speculators and investors.  But this is par for the course after a major correction.  Back in the spring of 2011, silver rocketed parabolic in a gargantuan upleg.  But it became wildly overbought, hitting the most extreme greed levels of its entire secular bull.  So over the subsequent 14 months, silver corrected dramatically by a staggering 45.5%!

By: Ben_Traynor

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWHOLESALE gold bullion prices held above $1770 an ounce Friday morning in London, a few Dollars below six-month highs hit earlier in the week, while stocks and commodities were also broadly flat ahead of a meeting between the leaders of Spain and Italy, with press reports suggesting plans are being discussed for a Spanish bailout.
