| 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

| Will Wednesday's Fed Minutes Spark Sell-Off? |
| Since the S&P 500 made an intraday low of 1,536 on April 18, the widely-followed
stock index has tacked on 130 points and the markets have migrated back to
full-bore risk-on mode.
Wednesday Winddown?
Two key events this Wednesday could give investors an excuse to book some
profits:
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak before Congress.
Fed minutes are due to be released.
There appears to be little evidence to suggest Bernanke will drift from his

| SPX Topping Extremes |
| The levitating stock markets continue to seductively entrance traders, powering to new nominal record highs day after day after day. No one believes a meaningful selloff is even possible anymore, thanks to the vast deluge of central-bank monetary inflation. Sheer euphoria has set in as all perception of risk has vanished. This makes these stock markets extraordinarily dangerous, they are truly at topping extremes. As of Wednesday, the flagship S&P 500 stock indSaturday, May 18, 2013 |

Stocks Soar, Metals Lag  |
| While the precious metals didn't fare so well this past week, many super moves in stocks did occur making it another just fantastic week for us.We're on a huge roll here and I'd like to see it continue but that is up to the market, not me.All we can do is stay in buy the dips and breakouts mode until it stops working.The force is strong with this market now and we must stay with it but that can change quickly and it's as important to be able to recognize a change as it is to know what to do.We wTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

| Top 3 Trading Indicators for Profitable and Simple Trading |
| Many investors and traders make the same mistakes assuming that one needs
a complex trading system to consistently profit from the stock market. On the
contrary, some of the top performing strategies are the ones with the least

| Margin debt and the next stock market crash |
| The latest fear on Wall Street is that record levels of margin debt may end up toppling the stock market rally. NYSE margin debt recently reached its highest level since 2007 before the last major stock market peak and credit crash. Stephen Suttmeier, technical research analyst at Bank of America, noted that margin debt, rose 28% in March from a year ago to $380 billion. That figure is slightly below the July 2007 peak of $381 billion, although analysts speculate that April's margin debt totalsTuesday, May 14, 2013 |

| When Will Gold Bull Resume? |
| While Gold has seen a decent rebound, Silver and the mining shares (the more
speculative side of the complex) have failed to sustain any rebound despite
tremendously supportive sentiment amid an extreme oversold condition. Is the
failure to rebound bearish? Not really. This is a sector that is completely
sold out but there are yet to be enough buyers to generate a sustained rebound.

| Stocks Could Continue Surprising Ascent |
| Stocks Break Above Twelve Year Base
The market's recent shift back into economically sensitive assets tells us
stocks could continue their surprising march higher despite the ongoing calls
for "sell in May". As shown in the chart below, the S&P 500 made no progress
during the last twelve years. The "no progress" pattern was recently broken,
which could lead to head-scratching gains in the months ahead.

| UPDATING THE WEAKEST OF THE METALS–SILVER |
| I wanted to follow up on my updated silver chart yesterday because some might say that silver had an outstanding reversal yesterday which confirms a higher price move is imminent. I think that frame of mind is pre-mature and while silver may spike up, it may also wash out again to the downside given that it is STILL in a bearish pattern. There are a couple of points I want to highlight. First, while yesterday’s price action was good, (silver was down hard overnight and rallied intraday to clSunday, May 12, 2013 |

| SPX Topping Valuations |
| As the US stock markets keep on levitating, the bulls continue to rationalize this inexplicable melt-up by claiming stocks are still cheap.They use this as a justification to buy high.But is this true?Not by a long shot!Today the US stock markets are just as expensive in classic valuation terms as they were back in late 2007 when the last cyclical bull topped.That led to a brutal cyclical bear, the same risk faced today.When investors talk about stocks being cheap or expensive, they are referrinFriday, May 10, 2013 |

| How to spot (and avoid) market manipulation |
| We often hear investors complain of financial markets (and the gold market in particular) being "rigged" or manipulated. The sad yet somewhat humorous tale of Henry Gribbohm recently brought this accusation to life. The 30-year-old Gribbohm infamously lost his life savings of $2,600 on a carnival game in an attempt at winning an Xbox Kinect valued at $100. For his efforts, he walked away with a giant stuffed banana sans his $2,600 life savings.Gribbohm's tale is instructive if only because itFriday, May 10, 2013 |

| Why Buy Platinum, Palladium and Rare Earth Miners |
| There are real supply concerns for Platinum Group Metals or PGMs as laborers
continue to protest for higher pay in South Africa. Laborers may demand a
large pay increase while the South African producers are unable to stay profitable.
There is increasing speculation that PGMs could soar higher.
Investors could use this pullback in the metals to add to platinum (PPLT)
and palladium (PALL) at the price levels it was before the violent labor protests
which killed over 44 miners. SoFriday, May 10, 2013 |

| How to Trade Gold, Silver and Precious Metal Miners |
| How to trade Gold and other precious metals related investments is not that
complex. But you must be willing to wait for price to provide low risk entry
points before getting involved. Precious metals are like any other investment
in respect to trading and investing in them. There are times when you should
be long, times to be in cash and times to be short (benefit from falling prices).
Since 2011 when gold and silver started another major bull market correction

| Macro Sleight of Hand is Working, for Now |
| Right in plain site, the Federal Reserve is doing this to the US money supply. It is a hockey stick with the blade pointing up, but will one day turn into a big, bloated chicken and come home to roost. The Fed's global counterparts continue apace with inflation as well.Meanwhile, economic data like M2's velocity would give out of control monetarists free license to provide more of what they say is good for us, because newly printed money is not getting out into the economy to a sufficient degreeMonday, May 06, 2013 |
