| Market Top Called to Within One Day by Contracting Fibonacci Spiral. |
| It is nearing two years since I first published an article describing a theory
titled "Contracting Fibonacci Spiral". For further information, simply Google "Contracting
Fibonacci Spiral" and a plethora of articles should be listed to provide a
more thorough description. Further to this, I published an article in the April
2013 issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities (Submitted in October
2012) to attempt to bring more mainstream exposure to this concept.

| Is Crude Oil Ready for a Breakout? What Impact Could it Have on Gold? |
| One of the main events of recent days was the strength of demand in the oil market. Yesterday the Brent Crude Oil climbed up to over $106 per barrel and the Light Crude Oil reached $98 a barrel. These are the highest levels since September 2012.
Looking at these reactions, it seems that investors are worried about the correlation between oil prices and the political unrest in the Middle East. Although Syria is not a major oil producer, there are serious concerns that the conflict in the countryTuesday, June 18, 2013 |

| Contrarian Opportunity in Historically Undervalued Gold Miners |
| There is no doubt about it. Precious Metal mining companies are going through
a time of testing. The financing markets are challenging. Investors have lost
faith in the major gold and silver producers who have over-promised and under-delivered
in high cost projects in questionable jurisdictions. Acquisition strategies
have been poorly executed near interim tops at high valuations. Some could
say it is the worst of times for this sector. However, long term contrarian
investors say thaTuesday, June 18, 2013 |

| Navigating A Fed-Dependent Market |
| Experienced traders and investors respect and understand the concept of "Don't
fight the Fed". The basic rationale behind the expression is that when the
Fed is printing money, the odds are tilted in the bulls' favor. Conversely,
when the Fed is tightening policy, bearish odds begin to pick up.
What Fight Are We Trying To Avoid?
One of the most frustrating aspects of investing during Ben Bernanke's watch
is the constant stream of conflicting messages being delivered by members of

| Update 17th of June 2013
Arguments for lower prices:
Still valid MACD sell signal for Gold on the monthly chart.
Gold still in well defined downtrend.
If Gold moves below US$1,340.00 we should see a test of US1,320.00 followed
by a break of the multi-year uptrend. Already hourly close below US$1,359.00
would be critical.

| As for the precious metals, gold and silver are still under pressure and wanting lower. They are trading in quite wide ranges these days. Up $20, down $20.

| While the Fed Parties, Gold and Oil Have Left the Building |
| Risk assets and financial markets around the world have been supported by
central bank action for several years. Performing financial alchemy on a scale
larger than has been seen in the history of mankind, central banks have hijacked
global financial markets. Mountains of liquidity, artificially low interest
rates, and the creation of future asset bubbles has been their calling card
for the past few years.
Unfortunately, time is starting to run out and these great Keynesian minds

| Have Gold and Silver Stopped Responding to Dollar’s Price Action? |
| Gold cannot be printed or manufactured in contrast to the currency. That’s why over the long term it has kept its value as the ultimate currency. There can be no “gold war.” However, we often hear about a currency war. Sounds familiar, were did we hear this before?
The phrase “currency war” was coined by Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega after the financial crisis of 2008. The idea is that highly indebted nations weaken the value of their currency by cutting interest rates down to zero aFriday, June 14, 2013 |

| Gold Price in June 2013 |
| The U.S. Mint has resumed selling its 2013 American Eagle One-Tenth Ounce Gold Proof Coin at a hefty $195 per coin as of last week. The Mint has set a 20,000-coin production limit for the coin. Sales of its smallest gold coin was suspended by the Mint in late April as year-to-date demand had increased by more than 118% until inventories could be replenished.
Here are some interesting statistics. So far at close to the half-way point of the year, the U.S. mint has sold more one-tenth ounce gold Tuesday, June 11, 2013 |

| Some More Downside Needed |
| I took a lot of criticism after last weekend's letter, especially on Monday with gold and silver rising.I was called arrogant and smug and worse and told to throw out the charts.While gold and silver were up nicely on the day they remained in their bearish patterns and chopped around most of the week with large moves before finally breaking those bearish patterns on Friday.Now we are ready for more downside.When the perma-bulls come out calling me names, I know they are starting to get desperateSunday, June 09, 2013 |

| A summer ?crash? scenario |
| Despite the recent weakness, the broad market has displayed a fair amount of resilience in the face of rising interest rates and falling commodity prices. The charts even leave us with some hope that there will be one more rally to new highs in the coming weeks. But a growing list of problems also suggests the market could be setting up for a repeat of the 1998 mini-crash later this summer.There are several parallels between now and the spring and summer of 1998 which led to the July-October dThursday, June 06, 2013 |

| Gold, Silver and Precious Metal Miners Signals |
| It has been a very long couple of years for the precious metal bugs. The price
of gold, silver and their related mining stocks have bucked the broad market
up trend and instead have been sinking to the bottom in terms of performance.
Earlier this week I posted a detailed report on the broad stock market and
how it looks as though it's uptrend will be coming to an end sooner than later.
The good news is that precious metals have the exact flip side of that outlook.

| The silent killer of every bull and bear market |
| Stocks have reached record levels thanks in large part to a coordinated central bank stimulus. The current financial market-led recovery is unlike previous recoveries in that the economy, unlike the stock market, has been painfully slow to respond to the stimulus. Gold also hasn't benefited this time around, which is partly attributable to the fact that it's still deflating some of the excess from its speculative bubble of previous years. Gold also has failed to capture investor interest thisTuesday, June 04, 2013 |

| Recent Moves in Gold and Silver - Temporary Strength or the End of Correction? |
| The only thing that’s free right now is the air that we breathe. Other than that it costs to manufacture every object and commodity in the world. It takes a certain amount of money to extract a barrel of crude in Saudi Arabia, to make a car in Detroit, or produce an iPad in China.There is also a certain cost to producing an ounce of gold. It doesn’t grow on trees. Tiny nuggets don’t rain down from the sky. It costs to explore. It costs to extract. It costs to finance loans and it costs to pay roMonday, June 03, 2013 |

| Economic and Fed Confusion Reign In Markets |
| The market currently has a mixed profile; the bears have control of the daily
trend, but the bulls have not given up the weekly trend. The well-documented
fears of Fed tapering are undoubtedly a significant factor in the market's
mixed picture. Economic reports, including those released early Monday, have
added to the confusion among traders and investors. From Bloomberg:

| Get Ready For More Downside |
| It was a quiet week for the most part as markets and many stocks setup new patterns to trade off of but in doing so have given us decent intraday moves which can be capitalized on.I like to take one or two trades per day and am very selective in those trades.Day-trading is far from pushing buttons all day in my world.It's more like sitting around and waiting for just the right setup.Usually after a support or resistance area is hit and the stock or ETF in question begins to roll the other way.YoSunday, June 02, 2013 |
