Gold and Silver Thanksgiving Update
Big Picture Perspective: Consider the 30-year graphs for gold and silver.  Both peaked in 1980, corrected for 20 years and bottomed in 2001. Following 9-11, official U.S. national debt substantially increased, while the actions of the U.S. government, Federal Reserve, and commercial banks continually devalued the dollar. Bond markets extended their multi-decade bull run (yield decline) and stock markets are making all-time highs. To levitate the stock market, total debt securities per the St. Lo

Ponzi Finance and Gold Stocks
September News Recap: THE FEDERAL RESERVE met and talked. The unofficial statement issued after their meeting was, “Yada, Yada, Yada.” Their statement was translated by an obscure web site, link unavailable, which interpreted their statement as: “The Federal Reserve along with other important central banks and G-20 nations have created a pyramid of debt. This debt is ever-increasing and will be repaid by issuing new debt. Example:  Issue $2 trillion in new debt to repay $1.5 trillion in old debt

  Gold And Silver Stocks – The Bargain Of The Century
Buy high and sell low, that is the mantra of many stock market investors. When a stock or a market reaches a new high the average investor turns even more bullish. That is also the point when the media talk about it and it becomes headline news. This is now the situation for many stock markets worldwide. US, UK, and many European markets are now at all time highs. But the picture is not rosy everywhere. The Chinese market is 40% lower than the 2015 highs and the French, Italian and Spanish marke

Hidden Signs for Precious Metals
Gold, silver and mining stocks moved higher yesterday, even though the USD Index moved higher as well, which had bullish implications. Based on the closing prices and the rally in mining stocks that took place in the second half of yesterday’s session, it seems that closing our extra-large short positions and taking profits off the table early in the session was a good idea. However, that’s not the only thing that changed in the precious metals market and the area surrounding it – some signs are

Key Breakdowns after Silver’s Final Reversal
The end of the previous week was rich in signals as gold, silver and mining stocks all reversed along with the USD Index. Gold closed the week below the rising support line and the implications should not be ignored even by those who usually focus on fundamentals alone. Why? Because in the short- and medium term, the important technical developments will shape the price – not the fundamentals. Why should one care? In early 2008 silver was priced above $20 and in late 2008 it was priced below $10

Gold Mining 'Needs New Discoveries' as MA Rejected on Bad Memories, 2016 Price Jump
GOLD MINING stocks slipped Tuesday morning in London and bullion dropped to 3-session lows beneath $1333 per ounce as media pundits declared Hillary Clinton the winner of last night's US presidential debate with Donald Trump. Gold prices in China – the world's No.1 gold mining, importing and consumer market – held firm overnight, fixing at the Shanghai Gold Exchange little changed from before the weekend, but edging down to a $2.85 per ounce pre

Gold during Presidential Election Cycle
Let’s analyze the chart below which shows how gold performed each year of the presidential election cycle. The first year of a presidency is a post-election year, the second is called the midterm election year, the third is the pre-election year, and the last year is an election year. For the yellow metal, the post-election year is the worst, as it gains only 2.27 percent, on average. On the contrary, the second year of the presidency is the best for the price of gold, as the shiny metal rallies

How To Use the XAU-To-Gold and HUI-To-Gold Ratios
The gold miners-to-gold ratios are indicators that show how many gold ounces are required to purchase one share of an index. Technically, the numbers are the value of the index divided by the price of gold. They show a relative value of miners to the price of bullion, thus indicating whether gold stocks or gold are overvalued or undervalued relative to each other. When the ratios are low, miners are cheap compared to gold, and when the numbers are high, gold stocks look expensive relative to bul

Gold and Gold Stock Indices
Investing in particular gold stocks gives exposure to movements in price of gold, but also to other factors affecting the gold mining industry, as well as company-specific strengths and weaknesses. This is why investors have to bear in mind the trends in the gold market as well as the mining industry, and wisely select appropriate stocks. One way to avoid the problem of selecting the promising shares (for instance for those that don’t have access to tools that would make the selection easier) is

  Why The PM Sector Is Now A Contrarians Dream 
In this update we are only going to look at one chart, because I don't want to dilute its impact by including anything else. There are many other charts supportive of a positive outlook for the Precious Metals sector going forward, which we will look at separately. The chart we are now going to look at is the long-term ratio chart for the large cap S&P500 index divided by the XAU index for large cap gold and silver stocks. So that we can achieve a big picture overall perspective, our chart goes

Gold Silver Trading Alert: Decline Continues
Gold & Silver Trading Alert originally sent to subscribers on March 10, 2015, 7:42 AM Briefly: In our opinion speculative short positions (full) in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective. We are keeping the stop-loss levels at their current levels, which means that we are effectively keeping some gains locked in and at the same time we’re allowing the profits to increase. Gold moved a little higher yesterday only to disappoint in the following part of the

Gold Market Update
The reaction back by gold over the past month was preceded by an explosion in Commercial short and Large Spec long positions. On gold?s 6-month chart we can see that this reaction has been quite deep, and that it has taken the price back down below the neckline of a potential Head-and-Shoulders bottom pattern, where it should have found support and turned up again. The fact that it didn?t is a negative development, that opens up the risk of a retreat back to the vicinity of the lows, although as

Gold Market Update
Nothing has been done to address the structural inadequecies and distortions that lead to the 2008 financial crisis ? instead our leaders have resorted to the procrastination made possible by turning to drugs, specifically Quantitative Easing, which has enabled them to clamp interest rates at 0 to prevent the already unserviceable debt load from compounding out of sight. Spearheaded by the US, this money printing policy has now become standard practice around the world, with Europe and Japan fol

It could not look better for the pm sector going into 2015...
In this article we are going to look at compelling evidence that the Precious Metals sector is either at or very close to a major bottom, and see why the chances are high that the sector will rally strongly in the New Year.

Gold Market Update
Yesterday was an extraordinary day in the Precious Metals markets, with a good chance that it signals the reversal from the brutal 3-year plus bearmarket that so many have waited so long to see. The day started with gold and silver plunging on the news that the Swiss voted against backing their currency with gold, but later in the day they rallied strongly on heavy turnover to close with giant reversal candlesticks on their charts. Regardless of the reasons for this bizarre behavior, technically

Gold Market Update
Gold finally crashed key support at last year’s lows on Friday, which was a very bearish development that has opened up the prospect of an immediate severe decline at least to the strong support in the $1,000 area. Such a decline will have grave consequences for the Precious Metals mining industry, whose costs have risen sharply in recent years, and is expected to lead to a massive wave of company failures, as many who have been “hanging on by their fingernails” finally lose the fight and disapp

Gold Silver Trading Alert: Miners Break Out Despite Dollar's Rally
Gold & Silver Trading Alert originally sent to subscribers on June 11, 2014, 6:56 AM. Briefly: In our opinion no speculative positions in gold, silver and mining stocks are justified from the risk/reward perspective. The precious metals market moved higher yesterday, which was in tune with what we've been expecting. The key question is if gold, silver and mining stocks have completed their rally or are they still likely to move higher before turning south again. Before jumping into charts, we
