Silver Bankers May Be Sitting on Huge Derivatives Losses and the Fed May Be Funding Them / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
My question is simple. What are bankers like J.P. Morgan and HSBC doing playing in such size in this market? What is the economic and productive benefit? Perhaps there is a good answer. The taxpaying public certainly deserves to know. The CFTC says they have looked into this, but the detailed results of their findings remain less than forthcoming.

By: Clive_Maund
Gold and silver have reversed to the upside and advanced substantially exactly as predicted in the last updates posted on 30th January, and now the majority of commentators are raving bullish again, but the internal technical condition of the sector following this rally suggests that it is about to reverse to the downside again, although longer-term the outlook remains strongly bullish.

Silver Showing Amazing Strength / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
Silver has shown amazing strength in recent weeks, surprising even its staunchest advocates by making light work of recovering the ground lost in the January reaction, and even went as far as to break out to new highs late last week, hugely outperforming gold in the process, which not unnaturally has silver bugs *****-a-hoop. We were looking for a big rally in the last update posted at the end of January and we have not been disappointed.

EGYPT: Placebos, Protests and Gold and Silver Breakouts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
We are constantly being advised that the Egyptian Military has the situation under control. As the situation develops it is becoming increasingly apparent that there is something wrong with this picture. The military and the media assures us that the morganatic wedding between the Generals and the Masses will proceed as scheduled. As the old song goes, "its time to wind up the masquerade...the piper must be paid." Is Iran sailing through the Suez sending a message of who may be trying to gain power during this chaos?

Then we heard of riots in Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Iran and we now look at the entire Middle East as ripe for contagious revolutions.

Gold Bull Market Big Picture, Time for a Rest / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Aden_Forecast
If we had to pinpoint a time during the last 10 years when the gold price broke out into a full on bull market, it was in 2005 when the $500 level was clearly broken. That was a key level at the time and this break out coincided with the launching of gold's ETF, GLD.
It was also clearly a break away from the dollar as gold began jumping up in all currencies. This is when the bull market started heating up and gold never looked back until it surpassed the 1980 record high in 2008.
