Gold and Silver Move Closer to Breakdown / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Gold and Silver are going to close down for the third consecutive day and the third consecutive week. As we pen this on Friday, Gold bounced from $1162/oz and could close near $1170/oz while Silver traded below $16/oz and may close at $16/oz right on the dot. Both metals are now dangerously close to their final weekly supports and therefore one step closer to an important technical breakdown.

Radical Gold GLD ETF Under Investment / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Zeal_LLC

Gold remains deeply out of favor thanks to global central banks’ extreme money printing.  This fueled a global stock-market levitation that has temporarily short-circuited normal market cycles, leaving investors infatuated with stocks to the exclusion of prudent portfolio diversification.  This has left them radically underinvested in gold, which sets the stage for massive mean-reversion buying when they inevitably return.

Portfolio diversification is an absolutely essential tool for investment risk management.  This simple and powerful wisdom is ancient, as a three-millennia-old quote from the Israeli king Solomon reveals.  He advised, “Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.”  Indeed history has proven countless times that putting all one’s eggs in one basket is foolish.

Why Physical Precious Metals Are Safer than Mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: MoneyMetals

David Smith writes: When investors first become interested in the precious metals, they may be drawn to invest in mining stocks.

The allure of making several times your money on an exploration company that hits a big strike can be tempting. Yes, a gold-silver producer (or an exploration stock) can sport larger gains during a bull run than the price of the underlying metal itself. This is part of a trade-off, because mining operations face all sorts of unique risks.

Interest Rates, Price Controls and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

Every day, we are bombarded with interest rate conjecture.  When will they raise them? How can they?

The simplest answer is that they can’t. But why not? And who are they anyway?

They are the monetary authorities. They form the policy that shapes the politics.

What else can Central Banks do to stimulate the economy? They certainly couldn’t admit that they broke it to begin with.

Why Oil’s Price Is Baffling Analysts (but Not Us) / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: ...

MoneyMorning.com Dr. Kent Moors writes: It sure has been amusing to watch the oil instant experts trying to shove “square peg” explanations into “round hole” price moves this week.

For most of yesterday’s trading session, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices were declining about 1% after a huge 4.5% rise on Friday. Once again, the “experts” had instant prognostications, once again they signaled a familiar refrain – a strong dollar, oversupply – and once again they missed the boat.

By: SecularInvestor

Recent economic data do not show much strength, at least not in the U.S.  The Q1 Gross National Product in the U.S. pointed to an economic contraction of -0,7%.  It was the second consecutive year in which the economic activity declined quarter-on-quarter.  That has not happened since the credit crisis of 2008.  Chart courtesy: Marketwatch.

Gold Stocks Crash Opportunity Better than 2005 / Commodities / Gold and Silver Stocks 2015

By: DailyWealth

Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes: In July 2005, I recommended three small gold stocks in my high-priced, speculative newsletter back then called Sjuggerud Confidential.

At the time, gold-exploration companies were dirt-cheap and completely ignored. Nobody wanted anything to do with them.

My top recommendation went on to return a 995% gain. That's the largest gain of any recommendation in the history of my publisher, Stansberry Research.

By: Graham_Summers

Everything that has happened since 2007, every Central Bank move, ever major political decision regarding the big banks, every trend, have all been focused solely on one issue.

That issue is collateral.

What is collateral?

Gold Sector Big Picture / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Gary_Tanashian

On shorter time frames the gold sector has been viewed as being on an 'anti-USD' inflation bounce. This bounce scenario in gold stocks and commodities took a hit last week with the US dollar's strong bounce.

In NFTRH we are managing things on both short and long time frames, with the short-term currently tied to movements in the USD. On the long-term however, things appear to be setting up for the next big macro play. The following charts are used for big picture updates to give perspective to the shorter-term work we do each week in NFTRH.

Gold Charts Back to The Future / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Rambus_Chartology

In today's report I would like to show you some old charts, that we've not looked for the most part, in a long time. Some of the long term members may remember some of these charts that go all the way back to when we first opened our doors at Rambus Chartology. When you build long term weekly or monthly charts things change very slowly vs the minute charts. What you were thinking several years or longer ago can still be relative to today's price action. It lets you know if what you were seeing in the charts back then was way off base or if what you were thinking back then was correct or at least fairly close to what the present day's price action is showing. It forces you to be honest with yourself.

Gold Price YAWN! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Dan_Norcini

Another week passes and once again, the word best used to describe the price action in gold is, “YAWN”. As in boring; as in repetitive, as in comatose, as in going nowhere.

Gold And Silver – Charts Only / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Michael_Noonan

We have a conflict in time, this weekend, so we are presenting charts only, since they provide the best information about what the market is doing, especially when almost all fundamental data has not produced the positive results they appear to indicate.

The fiat Federal Reserve “dollar” remains the antithesis of gold, since the elite’s central bankers do all they can to discredit the metal that makes a lie out of all the fiats issued and without taking responsibility for its ultimate destructive outcome. After all, the sole objective of the elites is to steal as much wealth from the masses as possible during their quest for a New World Order, well on its way.

Gold Price in Different Currencies / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Arkadiusz_Sieron

The slowdown of worldwide trade and GDP may affect different currencies in distinct ways. It is well time that we briefly analyze the relationship between the yellow metal and other currencies than the U.S. dollar. It is very important issue, since many non-American investors measure gold in their local currencies.

Gold Still Waiting / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2015

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Gold has been frustrating for bulls and bears since its crash in Q2 2013. In the two years since it has traded in a wide range, frustrating traders and investors. The net result has been nothing but the passing of time. Until Gold breaks above $1300 or breaks below $1150, we will remain in waiting mode. Personally, I believe Gold is far more likely to break lower in the weeks and months ahead. In any case, we are still waiting.
