 Gold Market Update  |
| For those of you who are short of time and are accustomed to scrolling down to the bottom of an article to read its conclusions I'm going to save you the trouble by putting the conclusions at the start: the broad US stock markets are approaching a parabolic blow off top and should be sold, and gold and silver are bottoming and should be bought. If you have fallen to the floor laughing at this suggestion it is a sign that you have been brainwashed by The Ministry of Disinformation and you are warWednesday, May 22, 2013 |

Gold Speculation and the Comex  |

| Gold Stocks to Rebound in May |
| Sell in May and don't go away. Sell and buy gold stocks.
We all know gold stocks have been a disaster for weeks and months. The HUI
gold bugs index kept falling below support levels until finding support near
260 which we consider to be very strong support and probably the major low.
In the nine trading days since the bottom the gold stocks have recovered only
slightly and gradually. However, after Tuesday's reversal, we see plenty of
evidence that augurs for a strong recovery in May.

Dollar Collapse Has Begun  |
| I've been pointing out for several months now that the recent rally in the dollar was a mirage, an illusion generated by the yen, euro, pound, and Canadian dollar all dropping into yearly, or intermediate cycle lows together. This selling pressure in the four major currencies that make up the dollar index spawned what looked like a strong dollar. With Bernanke printing 85 billion of them a month, there is no such thing as a "strong dollar". I've been saying for months that once these four currenWednesday, May 01, 2013 |

| Silver Market Update |
| After being stuck in a tight range following its plunge about 9 trading days ago, silver finally responded to gold’s creeping advance and “popped” on Thursday, but it was not that impressive and was followed by a rather negative “spinning top” candlestick on Friday, meaning that it could have been a 1-day wonder especially given that gold’s relief rally looks to be about done.Tuesday, April 30, 2013 |

| Physical Gold vs. Paper Gold: The Ultimate Disconnect |

| Gold Market Update |
| Failure of gold’s key support at $1500 - $1550 triggered a stunning plunge as masses of stops were triggered. We can see what happened on the 6-month chart below. The plunge was the most severe since 1980 and was accompanied by colossal record volume, which is strongly bearish. It quickly lead to gold becoming critically oversold and it bounced later in the week as cheerleaders advised their readers to buy this “opportunity of a lifetime”.Tuesday, April 23, 2013 |

 | John Rubino - Dollar Collapse |
| For Gold, Friday's COT Report Is Huge |
| The dominant explanation (in the sound money community at least) for the precious
metals crash is, well, sabotage. The metals exchanges were running out of physical
product and faced imminent default, so the major governments via their money
center bank proxies sold tens of billions of dollars of gold and silver futures
contracts, forcing prices down and triggering stop-loss orders and margin calls
that produced Monday's epic bloodbath.
These short positions were then covered at huge pFriday, April 19, 2013 |

| Gold and Silver : Post-Crash Analysis |
|
There is strictly nothing happening now on the gold and silver markets that would be related to fundamentals. This crash, just like the other ones, is orchestrated, and it doesn’t reflect the extremely tense situation on the physical gold and silver markets.
Here is how some of the significant elements are to be taken into account. I have put them in three different categories :

| One Of These Days |
| Who could forget those famous words immortalized by Jackie Gleason in his role as RalphKramden onThe Honeymooners, when he wouldquip, “one of these days Alice,POW! Right in the kisser.” And although it didn’t take much to get Ralph excited, still, this was usually the result of his wife Alice trying to talk some sense into her loud mouth husband, which is what somebody should do to those who think it’s a good idea to game the system increasingly today.Wednesday, April 17, 2013 |

| A number of subscribers have written in to me asking how Iknew to load up with Puts on Thursdayahead of Friday’s massive smash in the gold market. The answer to that is that when you have been watching markets and price movements for as long as I have and understand how Big Money thinks and operates, you develop a “sixth sense” for the kind of stunts they can pull.Tuesday, April 16, 2013 |

I was a little late in publishing it, after witnessing today’s bloodbath in the metals space, but, I think the point is actually visualized better now in light oSaturday, April 13, 2013 |

| It has been a 1.5-2 year sideways affair for the precious metals (PM), depending on whether you look at silver (peak in April of 2011) or Gold (peak in August of 2011). PM stocks, on the other hand, have done quite a bit worse than go sideways. While the more conservative Gold has only fallen a maximum of 20% from its August of 2011 highs, the more volatile silver and senior PM stock indices (e.g., XAU, HUI, GDX) have both fallen close to 50%. The junior PM stock sector has been decimated, withSunday, April 07, 2013 |

| Gold Daily and Silver Weekly Charts - Metals Oversold on Paper Metal Gimmickry |
| Ted Butler is looking at the data he follows, and he believes that the bullion backs are setting up the technical funds to hold the bag on the metal short positions if the metals markets turn higher. I think this is a very valid hypothesis based on the COT reports.
