The Last Investable Moment for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
In the context of the current U.S. Dollar valuation bubble, silver’s eventual price rise seem inevitable. This paper currency bubble commenced with a desperate flight to quality, despite the fact that the U.S. Dollar had been an intrinsically worthless currency since it was taken off the gold standard by Nixon in the early 1970’s.
Silver is one of many sought after investment choices when risk aversion is high. What makes it a convenient choice happens to be that the metallic commodity has special qualities that have historically made it one of the best forms of money.

Silver COT Report - The Day the Numbers Lied / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Prices ended down slightly once again for both silver and gold last week. There was no great change noted in the COT reports for either precious metal, and the monthly Bank Participation Report was a non-event for silver. This is once again leaving many observers scratching their heads about the suddenly questionable reliability of these numbers.

Will Soaring Stock Market Indices Hit the Ceiling? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DailyGainsLetter
Moe Zulfiqar writes: The stock market rally that began in March of 2009 is gaining attention once again. The key stock indices have surpassed the highs they registered before the U.S. economy was hit with a financial crisis and the ones made at the peak of the tech boom.
With all this, the direction in which the key stock indices are headed next has become a topic of discussion among investors: can they go any higher? Or we are bound to see another market sell-off, like the one we saw in 2008 and early 2009?

Controlling the Beginning Stages of Hyperinflation by Manipulating the Gold and Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Steve_St_Angelo
The tactic by the Fed and Central Banks is to inflate the stock markets while manipulating the price of gold and silver lower. This achieves two goals, 1) it reassures the public’s faith by pumping up stock prices while the economic indicators continue to deteriorate and 2) it elevates the dollar while it destroys market sentiment in the precious metals.
So far, the strategy has worked. Some of the toughest gold and silver bugs are becoming extremely frustrated and downright bearish. You can’t blame them as this is typical human psychology. Although, extremes and manipulations never last forever and at some point in time they reverse.

Silver and the Dow / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Hubert_Moolman
The Dow making new highs is likely to be very good news for silver investors, because nominal silver peaks tend to come after significant nominal peaks in the Dow. These stock market rallies are driven by the expansion of the money supply, causing a big increase in value of paper assets (including stocks) relative to real assets.Read full article...

Gold and Bitcoin are the Currencies of the Future / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: The_Gold_Report
Europe, says James Turk, founder and chairman of GoldMoney, is in the midst of two crises—one in the banking sector, the other related to economic activity, and capital is needed to solve both. As to the allegedly strong dollar, Turk, in this interview with The Gold Report, suggests comparing it to the price of gold rather than other fiat currencies for a better picture. And the world's newest currency—Bitcoin—has a lot in common with one of the oldest—gold.
The Gold Report: James, from your perspective in Europe, is the region in as bad a financial crisis as it appears in the headlines here in the U.S.?

Gold Swift and Violent Plunge to $1100 Possible / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Robert_M_Williams
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
The more I look at gold the more I realize that very few people understand what’s going on with the yellow metal. In part this is do to the fact that gold brings emotions to the surface faster than any other investment I can think of, and emotions have little or no place in the markets. Bringing a varied group of investors together to discuss the yellow metal is like sticking Protestants and Catholics together in a room and telling them to discuss birth control. It may be entertaining, but the discussion goes nowhere. Right now the folks who like gold are complaining that the Fed and the bullion banks, financial institutions like Citibank and J P Morgan, are manipulating the price of gold. I believe there’s more than a grain of truth to that, but if I’m long gold it’s of no conciliation.

A Different View of the Silver Market / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Adrian_Ash
Miguel Perez-Santalla writes: Why does silver move so much further, and faster, than gold...?
The SILVER MARKET often gets a bum rap. The reason is that often its gyrations are much greater than those of the gold market.

By: Ben_Traynor

Fed Gangsters Manipulating Gold and Silver Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Paul_Craig_Roberts
There are many signs of gangster state America. One is the collusion between federal authorities and banksters in a criminal conspiracy to rig the markets for gold and silver.
My explanation that the sudden appearance of an unprecedented 400 ton short sale of gold on the COMEX in April was a manipulation designed to protect the dollar from the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing policy has found acceptance among gold investors and hedge fund managers.

Silver Prices to Soar, Like Gold on Steroids! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Money_Morning
Diane Alter writes: It's hard not to get a bit nostalgic about silver prices.
I find myself reminiscing about April 2011 when the white metal ended the month at a sterling $48.70 an ounce after hitting an all-time intraday high of $49.51. That record surpassed the previous high of $49.45 set three decades earlier when the Texan Hunt brothers set out to corner the silver market.

Gold Bulls vs. Bears: What’s the Best Strategy? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DailyGainsLetter
Moe Zulfiqar writes: Gold bullion has attracted a lot of attention lately from both the bull side and the bear side. The main reasons: the continuous decline in the prices since the yellow metal reached its highs in 2011, and the recent sell-off, which caused more pain to the investors. Will gold go down further? Or is it headed much higher?

Gold Price to Re-Test $1350 Low / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Bob_Kirtley
Gold prices have started the week weaker in the southern hemisphere, dropping around $18.00 to trade at $1429.00/oz, despite the amount of physical buying that is taking place the paper market still calls the shots, for now at least. After what looks like a capitulation gold prices did bounce back, however, they have failed to break through $1500 and challenge the 50dma and now look set to test recent lows.

When Will Gold Bull Market Resume? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
While Gold has seen a decent rebound, Silver and the mining shares (the more speculative side of the complex) have failed to sustain any rebound despite tremendously supportive sentiment amid an extreme oversold condition. Is the failure to rebound bearish? Not really. This is a sector that is completely sold out but there are yet to be enough buyers to generate a sustained rebound. The combination of strength in conventional asset classes (stocks and bonds) and poor performance over the past two years is causing this sector to read like the heart rate monitor of a heart patient. The sellers are gone and the buyers are scant. We believe the bottom is in and a rebound should begin very soon. However, we are more concerned with what will be the driving force for a sustainable rebound which will evolve into a new cyclical bull market.

Silver Price Lows: A Discernible Pattern / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: DeviantInvestor
Unfortunately, there is not, that I can see, a simple pattern that predicts the next high or low in the price of silver. Markets seldom make it that easy. However, there are patterns that provide valuable information to help illuminate the “big picture” perspective of where the current price of silver lies in the up-down-up-down cycle of prices.

Impulsive Gold and Silver Game Plan / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013
By: Rambus_Chartology
Before we move on to the charts for this Weekend Report I would like to thank all the new subscriber who have joined us over the last several months. We are experiencing some growing pains at the moment that are being attending to by our wizard website designer audept. He is on top of the situation and we should be lightning fast once all the changes are made. Thanks for your understanding.
In this Weekend Report I want to get everyone up to speed and on the same page of what I’m seeing with the charts. I think there is a bit of confusion, especially with some of our new subscribers, on what the game plan is. Our game plan right now is fairly simple. As the longer term subscribes know we’ve been accumulating positions in some of the 3 X short etf’s like DUST which we started last December, DGLD & DSLV in the Kamikaze portfolio. The reason I have been recommending these trades, in the Kamikaze Portfolio, is because I think we are in a unique situation in regards to the precious metals complex. I have pointed out several different times that what we are experiencing right now isn’t normal and doesn’t happen many times in an investors career and that is to catch a big strong impulse move from the very beginning.
