How to Be an (Educated) Optimist: Ivan Lo on the Enduring Value of Gold and Silver
The Gold Report: Some recent headlines from The Equedia Weekly Letter include "A Scary Prediction," "Prepare for a Crisis," "A Nuclear Threat" and "A Shockwave Is Coming." Should investors be fearful, or does fear help sell your newsletter? Ivan Lo: Fear helps sell the newsletter but not necessarily in the way you've worded it. Where there's fear and concern people go looking for answers, and we try to provide them. There's a lot of fear and concern right now—war with Syria in western Asia, nuc

Gold and Silver
Arguments for lower prices: In April gold finally broke down from huge descending triangle and out of 2 year sideways zone. The old support between US$1,520.00 and US$1,540.00 now is massive resistance. It will take more time to regain this level. Still valid MACD sell signal on monthly chart Gold still in well defined downtrend If gold falls below monday´s low around US$1,340.00 we should see a test of US1,320.00 followed by a break of the

Matt Badiali: Why Bill Powers Is Dead Wrong
The Energy Report: Are we truly facing peak cheap oil with all the easy stuff already out of the ground? Why is oil still at $95 per barrel ($95/bbl)? Matt Badiali: The main reason we're still at $95/bbl, with demand falling and production rising is exports. It's been illegal to export crude oil from the U.S. since the '70s. However, refiners have gotten around this rule by exporting "finished products" like gasoline diesel fuel, for example. Remember, Europe and Asia are paying a lot more pe

Sprott Is Bullish on Silver and Gold Equities
The Gold Report: Maria, in April Eric Sprott sold more than $45 million ($45M) worth of units in the Sprott Silver Physical Trust. A spokesperson told Canada's Globe and Mail that the sale was needed to cover charitable obligations and to buy shares in silver mining companies because Mr. Sprott believes silver equities will outperform the metal in the next rally. Can you fill in the details on that thesis? Maria Smirnova: We believe in the equities?for any commodity?for several reasons. Equitie

  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 war

How George Topping Is Profiting from Copper Price Volatility
The Metals Report: George, what do Doctor Copper and other indicators tell you about global economic performance over the medium term?George Topping: You can't take the value of any commodity as a true indicator of physical demand these days. For example, a fortnight ago, copper prices shot up 6% from $3 per pound ($3/lb) to $3.19/lb in a heartbeat. That resulted from financial players pushing the copper price around. It represents what the financial markets think of the world economy. The indic

Investors versus Traders: A Battle for Oil & Gas Profits
The Energy Report: Looking back to your last interview with The Energy Report in November, you seem to have called the bottom in gas prices correctly. What's your view of where things are headed now?Robert Cooper: We expect a reasonably robust pricing scenario ahead. Here's why: In 2013, we will likely see flat natural gas supply growth; this will be the first year in the last several that this will be the case. The natural gas rig count is at 350, the lowest since 1995. The declining rig count

  My Challenge To “Whistleblower” Andrew Maguire 
Readers of my blog have known for quite some time now that I grew increasingly agitated with the charlatans pumping the gold and silver price suppression memes over two years ago and have been quite vocal about it on many occasions.  I want to be clear about this point before I continue.  My beef isn’t with people who buy gold and silver or who feel that a portion of their portfolio should be devoted to gold or silver ownership.  My beef isn’t with people that make well thought out arguments for

Brent Cook's Primer on Reading Drill Result Press Releases
The Gold Report: After the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Convention in March, you said that the next 12?18 months could define how investors, speculators and mining companies perceive and value both the junior and major mining sectors. That was before the volatility of mid-April. With higher production costs being the new normal, what percentage of miners can make money at the current gold price? Brent Cook: That is a tough call because companies use different methods to repo

Gold and Silver Futures Hourly Charts - Sharks With Laser Beams
There is not much doubt in my mind that the antics we saw in the silver, and to a lesser extent gold, markets last night were a classic hit and run, Dr. Evil market play. It is not particularly sophisticated, more like a brazen street con, or a smash and grab.  But it does require a complacent regulatory environment, and a certain regard for fellow insiders who are in a position to see what has happened and raise objections with regulators and the exchanges. One hits a quiet market with a very

Gold and Bitcoin: Currencies of the Future?James Turk
The Gold Report: James, from your perspective in Europe, is the region in as bad a financial crisis as it appears in the headlines here in the U.S.? James Turk: Yes, it really is. However, Europe is a big place, and you have to look at the individual countries one by one to understand the situation. Generally speaking, the Mediterranean countries are in the worst shape. Germany has been in the best shape, although recent economic data indicate it may be falling into a recession again. France is

The Hottest North American Shale Plays: Josh Young
The Energy Report: Last week in The Energy Report, Bill Powers, author of "Cold, Hungry and in the Dark," argued that energy reserves from U.S. shale deposits are far smaller than the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates. The difference is significant—approximately seven years compared to 100. Where do you come in on this debate? Is the production growth rate from non-conventional shale plays sustainable?Josh Young: Making really broad predictions like this is challenging, but

Tips for Diversifying Beyond Gold from Brent Cook
The Metals Report: In April, a landslide shut down operations at one of the largest copper mines in the world, Rio Tinto Plc's (RIO:NYSE; RIO:ASX; RIO:LSE; RTPPF:OTCPK) Bingham Canyon mine. Thankfully, no one was injured. Are landslides always a threat at large, open-pit mines? Will this change the standards for how mines are built and their size?"The slide represents close to 165 million tons of rock that will need to be moved out eventually—the equivalent of moving a whole mine."Brent Cook: La

Daren Oddenino: How to Spot Oil and Gas Takeout Targets
The Energy Report: Interest in merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the oil and gas space seems to be picking up. Pioneer Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (PXD:NYSE) made headlines last January when it sold 207,000 net acres of its Wolfcamp shale leases to Sinochem Group (00817:HK) for $1.7 billion.

How to Spot and Time Stock Market Tops

Position Yourself for Big Returns in the Stem Cell Space: Jason Kolbert

The conference was clearly oversold, and there appeared to be roughly twice the number of people originally expected. Could that meeting have been an inflection point at which investors decided that the stem cell field is worth looking
