| Gold Corrected on Weeks of Misconception |
| Yesterday was a particularly volatile and interesting day on the precious metals market. The sector moved slightly higher, then it soared, stayed high for several minutes and crashed. Stocks did more or less the same and the USD Index did the opposite. The likely reason? Comments from Ben Bernanke who said the Fed could decide to scale back the pace of bond purchases at one of the "next few meetings" if the economic recovery looked set to maintain forward momentum.So, what happened was markets dThursday, May 23, 2013 |

| Monetary Rapture: The Incredible Disappearing Gold Inventories - Ocean Receding |
| Gold is flowing from weaker hands to stronger hands, from speculators to central banks and wealthy investors, the multitudes in China and India, and in general from West to East.
Nick Laird of Sharelynx.com does some incredible work tracking and charting almost every aspect of the gold and silver markets. His site is well worth visiting.
I have included some comments from Nick below that touch on some factors that had not yet occurred to me.

 Gold's Pivotal Role - The Yuan Sees Freer Convertibility this Year! (Part 1) |
| China has signaled it is going to propose plans this year to allow freer flows of the Yuan both in and out of the nation as part of measures to loosen control over the Yuan and interest rates. It was expected that full and free convertibility after 2022, but it's clear that the program is moving at an accelerated pace.

| 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?

6 Reasons Why Gold Stocks will Begin a Huge Rally  |

Below is the NYSE Gold Miners Index which is tracked by the GDX ETF. Look
at the RSI. Not only did it reach a multi-decade low but it has remained oversold

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.

| Gold, Silver and Miners: Powerful Reversal Off Multiyear Support |
| I wrote nearly a month ago that "The
Worse Things Were For The Mining Sector, The Better They Will Get". This

Now four weeks later, gold, silver and the miners (GDX) tested that April
low and even fell below it only to reverse higher than the previous day's selling.
Across the precious metals board, we witnessed bullish engulfing patterns.
We witnessed a similar reversal backWednesday, May 22, 2013 |

| Gold Supply and Short Positions on the Comex: Option Expiration Next Week |
| "Let Ahab beware of Ahab."
Herman Melville, Moby Dick
As a reminder, next Tuesday the 28th is an option expiration on the Comex in the precious metals.
The set up in the market is interesting. I wonder who, net-net, is really holding the big physical short underpinning that inverted pyramid of paper?

important to understand the wave count, just the implied direction, which
should be hinted at the US Dollar Index. I was following a pattern for 5 years
