Gold Showing Signs of Setting up Strong Rally
Posted on November 19, 2012 | No CommentsToday we’re going to revisit our monthly and weekly gold charts. Regular readers may remember our discussion on these charts about a month ago. While using the daily and hourly charts can give us a short-term perspective, it’s by using these charts that we can gain a better picture of the long-term.

Platinum & Palladium are Precious Too
Posted on November 16, 2012 | No CommentsAs workers in platinum rich South Africa continue to strike, the white gold exports have dwindled dramatically. At first it seemed that these disputes would dry up first, but negotiations have repeatedly stalled. The result is the largest shortfall in the past decade in both palladium and platinum. ETF Trends reports, “Labor disputes in South Africa and production cuts and... -
BO Repeat was Inevitable; so Now What?
Posted on November 8, 2012 | 2 CommentsAs we approached the election season it appeared that Obama pretty much had this one wrapped up. In spite of the fact that the underlying foundation of our economy is as bad as it’s been in decades, the markets have shown some strength.

BO2 Stinks for Markets Today, but Good for Metals Tomorrow
Posted on November 8, 2012 | No CommentsAs the numbers came in last night it was evident that the inevitable had come to be. While the markets turned down recently, it simply didn’t reveal that sentiment had turned down enough to change the current regime. So, it’s more status quo. We’ll get more taxes. We’ll see more laws enacted. Our freedoms will be suppressed more. And we’ll... -
Metals Anticipating Election End?
Posted on November 7, 2012 | No CommentsAs another election day draws to a close we await the numbers with varying degrees of interest. Some are on the edge of their seats, viewing the results as paramount in their perspective of the future of the U.S. Others voted, but are pretty resigned to the idea that it’s only a matter of degrees rather than direction. Others only... -
Metals and Miners Poising For Post-Election Rally?
Posted on November 2, 2012 | No CommentsAs we enter the weekend, we’re seeing metals weaken into the weekend. This is actually rather exciting, even though it’s causing our positions to drop against the dollar. As I mentioned the other day, Novembers are historically good for metals. With us pressing recent lows, it’s likely that this is setting up a great buying opportunity going into the holidays.... -
November Typically Good to Metals
Posted on November 1, 2012 | No CommentsAs we reach the end of October, we’ve had some encouraging movements in the metals. However, gold bugs are a bit discouraged too, since we’ve been unable to retake previous highs. Many speculated that 2000 gold was in the bag this year, but are not skeptical. It’s quite possible they’ll be very pleased in time for Christmas. November shows a... -
Silver or Gold, You Can’t go Wrong Either Way
Posted on October 30, 2012 | No CommentsToday we continue yesterday’s thoughts regarding whether one should focus on silver or gold. Of course, there’s no hard and fast advice to give. Too much depends upon one’s personal priorities, budget, philosophy, goals, portfolio, etc. With this in mind, we’re simply offering some thoughts regarding why so many are focused on silver so that you can evaluate for yourself.... -
News for FOMC Effect on Gold Mixed; or Confused
Posted on October 24, 2012 | No CommentsOn the heels of today’s FOMC announcement metals took a bit of a dip. However, it wasn’t as bad as some would make it out to be. For instance, silver still isn’t down to yesterday’s low. Gold is off yesterday’s close by only $6. What’s our point? Mainly, to help readers adjust their mindset to ignore the sensationalism we see... -

Posted on October 18, 2012 | No CommentsThe World Gold Council released quarterly statistics for gold in six currencies. Gold’s high performance in dollars is not simply illustrative of gold’s rise in value, but also of the dollar’s decreasing value. The dollar fared worse than the other currency’s in relation to gold. The report shows the Rupee as the currency that retained the most strength, with gold... -
Perth Mint September Sales Surge
Posted on October 17, 2012 | No CommentsIf Australia’s Perth Mint is any indicator, demand for both gold and silver skyrocketed in September. During a month in which gold climbed over $80, to 1780, and silver rose about $3, to about 34.70, the Perth Mint reported more than twice the previous month’s sales in gold, and almost four times August’s sales in silver. Since the Perth Mint...
