| Unveiling the gold market’s working parts |
| On the 12th and 15th April gold fell victim to a price smash.
Why this happened is something which is open to much analysis and theorising. For the mainstream media it was down to an improving global economy and the need to hold gold no longer existed, for those in the world of gold investment this was perhaps down to more of the politics behind the gold-market than the economics.
On April 12th 3.4 million ounces (100 tonnes) of gold was sold in the US futures markets. This was just for startersSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

Glimpsing the Hereafter 2  |
| In this, my 400th post, I will peer into the future, to the Freegold revaluation and beyond. But I do not have an actual crystal ball. All I have is logic and reason, and a little help from Another and FOA. So to quote FOA, "If you came with a notion that I am someone who sees the future, grab the children and run far away." But if you came bearing your own logic and reason, then perhaps you will find this post useful. :D

| 1600-Point Dow Surge Looking Increasingly Likely |
| Based on the S&P 500’s brash behavior lately, effortlessly blowing past Hidden Pivot resistance points major and minor, we wrote here recently that the fuse could be lit for a 130-point explosion. That would be equivalent to a Dow move of about 1000 points – a spectacular surge, especially if it were to occur over a period of, not months but weeks. However, a coldly dispassionate look at the Dow’s monthly chart bolsters the case for an even bigger rally – a 1600-point moon shot. That would brinSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - South Africa Imports $1 Billion In Gold Bullion From NYC? |
| The stories on the sidebar are interesting today. The last piece by Golem XIV about What Bankers Don't Know is a 'must read' in my opinion.
I was greatly amused to read that South Africa imported about a billion dollars in gold bullion from New York earlier this year, an amount large enough to turn their trade surplus into a deficit.
The reason given was that South Africa had problems in its mining sector because of union actions etc.
What is not stated is that it was cheaper for South AfricTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

Congratulations to JP Morgan and Bank of America, who both turned in 'perfect' trading records for the 1Q of this year. It pays to have friends in high places. And faithful retainers are even better.
The US markets are almost surreal. The Fed and its Bankers believe that they can set the price of everything, at will, no matter what, and without consequences. Just a push here and a pull there.

The day many have predicted would come, has finally arrived: 100% initial margin on gold.
