How Strong is Physical Demand for Precious Metals
A good article Mr Hamlin. The goldsmiths' strike in India is off and jewelers have got back that smile on their faces.
Gold likes the turmoil which was political in nature during the years 2008 to early 2012 when it shot up from $ 750 to almost $ 1900 if I am not wrong. As political upheavals resolved recovering us from the brink of a world war, gold retraced but only to levels above $ 1000 +/- ( considere...

Is Silver a Better Bet than Gold in the Near Future
Chris the reverse is also true. I have been following both metals for the past decade and experienced the burn out in silver when it sank from its near record highs of $ 49 something to $ 14 recently. At the end of the day while investments in gold during this period remained in the green my silver holdings still are in deep red. I think timings of buying these metals and sensibly switching of investments betwee...

The Next Technical Price Targets for Gold and Silver
Chris the end thing is the reward and the in thing is the risk. For the moment any new investment in silver may turn out to be risky but at the same time for those of us who are sitting on silver selling may be riskier. So may be wait a while keepng the mind open to buying than selling silver.

Five mistakes to avoid with gold investment  (4)
Jan your article is reassuring to say the least in the backdrop of falling gold prices. Gold is a long term investment with horizons of five years and above. Gold crossed $ 1000 about five years ago and at that time most believed this would not happen. Sitting above $ 1550 today for those of us who invested sub $ 1000 is a happy state with the intent to invest in more gold as opportunities unfold. Another import...

2013's Silver lining  (3)
Thanks Jan. The connect between gold and silver prices with silver following gold either way in trade has kept the GSR at a constant ratio mostly in the 52-55 range. This connect is now on the wane as there have been trading sessions this year, when gold has ended trading in the negative territory and silver closing positively. A case in point are the gold and silver closings over the previous two week ends. Res...

Adam very interesting and factually correct reflection of silver prices over the past four decades. I agree silver is consolidating at present levels.

I am all for investment in silver and its bullish antecedents, but its connect with gold prices cannot be wished away. Gold will have to move fi...

Gold in an Uncertain World  (1)
Jeffrey you have summed it all. Gold thrives on uncertainites and these are only increasing be they be economic, social, geo-political or willed by God. But the difference lies in our changing attitudes to these rising calamities and inter alia the response of gold prices. In the past year gold's up move has been anything but static inspite of manifold increase in these calamities. Diversification it appears rem...

Silver sales set to outshine gold in India  (3)
The connect between an Indian and gold and or silver is basically traditional and customary and therefore more from compulsion than choice. Both metals are expensive to risk buying exclusively for investment given their volatility and uncertainity at any given time. And only a numbered few can afford taking this risk. The spurt in demand for silver for jewellery is from the affluent who can afford both and those...

Goldman's 'gold is dead' call is perfect contrarian indicator, Ron Rosen says
Tan is right. During partiton between India and Pakistan in 1947, it was only gold that we could manage to conceal and carry leaving our landed properties and farms behind. Gold was concealed in all possible nooks and corners of our physical self, especially women hid it in their hair and clothing. Some of us who got cornered bartered gold to save our lives. Gold also helped in rehabilitation and making a new be...

Dollar Cost Averaging - A Strategy For Making The Most Out Of Fluctuating Gold Prices
Dollar cost averaging is a means to an end. It provides a sense of financial security in a falling market but raises adrenalin levels if practised in a rising market. Since volatility is the order of the day, a combination of dollar cost averaging, at times timing the market and disciplining to book profits without being greedy may be considered an investing option.

Dollar to Launch Gold  (8)
SW thanks for your precise data related to the gold silver correlation over past six months. At 26 % it is still high, given that silver has been badly mauled over this period and any reversal in gold trends is likely to benefit silver more than gold because of the former's higher beta. My next 'default' trade will be in silver not gold. After all, you agree both metals follow a trend. The time is not far when s...

Dollar to Launch Gold  (8)
Adam, thanks for revisiting the negative correlation between gold and dollar. Charts are convincing. We are poised for favorable action in gold antime even if gold goes sub $ 1600. Dollar is going to run amock sooner than later. Silver follows gold almost daily evident from charts of both metals. Is it time to press the trigger or wait ? I have a hunch we may see $ 1500 before the move up.

Gold Correction Is Over  (15)
Well researched. Thanks. I conclude that due to the imponderables, for an average investor, gold investments based upon personal or collective judgment are akin to one blind leading another but with the 'faith' that finally they would reach their destination overtime. It is because of this 'faith'' in gold that we continue to invest in the metal in spite of our infirmities to influence the gold prices.

Dan you could not be more right. When markets are confused gold and silver trade high. But when markets are thoroughly confused they sky dive. I can see gold and silver at $ 1600 and $ 27 respectively, but for most of us(confused lot) who are invested where is the cash? Some wise person rightly said ' the king is dead long live the king'. The same holds good for elusive cash with the committed investors.

Why gold is better than cash  (13)
By the time paper money stops losing its value more than enough would have been lost.
