THE PRESENT
1. What the H – – – is Going On With Gold These Days?
What’s going on with the price of gold? It would be nice if gold always went up in a crisis but short term it can get just as burnt as everything else. [It begs the question, however,] if gold is the great anti-asset, the thing to hold when everything else is in collapse, why is it now trading…[below $1,700 and] not $2,000? What is next for gold? Words: 765
2. A Look Again At Why Gold is Falling – and What Actions You Should Take
As I see it, worsening financial crises lead initially to lower gold prices which are followed by some form of government intervention to alleviate the crises and that action, in turn, eventually results in renewed appreciation in the price of gold. The basic steps in such a transition are really quite straightforward. Let me explain. Words: 686
3. Why Is Gold Falling? Should I Buy, Hold or Sell?
Gold falls when a financial crisis worsens for 2 basic reasons which make total sense when looked at objectively. Resultant government intervention then creates the environment for a future rise in the price of gold.

4. Why Have Gold & Silver Been Selling Off? Here’s the Simple Answer
Why have gold and silver have been selling off? The answer is very simple. There is a strong correlation between a strong dollar and weak commodities. The dollar is no different than anything on earth – it will always follow the path of least resistance. As the dollar grows stronger commodities sell off or become cheaper [- and gold could go down as low as $1,500/ozt. and silver down to perhaps as low as $21/ozt. before this is all over. Let me explain further.] Words: 650
5. Will Gold Drop as Low as $1,200 Before Spurting to $2,000?
In the long run developments in the financial markets and around the world seem to conspire to whip up a perfect storm for the gold price, taking it up towards $2,000 and further. That new upleg, however, could very well start from a much lower level than now. There are quite a few developments that could easily send the gold price lower in the coming months. Is $1,200 gold in the cards? Words: 739
6. Marc Faber: Gold Could Fall to $1,100
“We overshot on the upside when [gold] went over $1,900. We’re now close to bottoming at $1,500, and if that doesn’t hold it could bottom to between $1,100-$1,200.”
7. Aden Sisters: Buy Gold NOW as it Corrects on its Way to $2,000
When you just consider the downgrade of U.S. debt, the jobs problem, the housing situation, the European bank concerns and their debt crisis, the negative outlook for the global economy, not to mention that the Fed will likely seek new measures to help the economy, we just don’t see gold coming down any time soon, other than having a normal downward correction [as currently is the case. Let us show you why.] Words: 1102
The Chinese and Indian stock markets have dropped over 20% in the last 6 months meeting the common definition of a bear market. Last week both of them tumbled further to below their lows of more than two years ago contributing significantly to the recent major sell-off in gold. In fact, elevated risk of housing and credit bubbles in China and India is creating the next financial perfect storm – which does not bode well for gold or silver. Words: 632

2. $10,000 Gold is Coming in 2012/13! Here’s Why
I am increasingly confident that the consequences of fragile sovereign debt, precious metals market manipulation, insufficient physical supply, and the need for a safe haven investment refuge, will contribute to rampant price inflation and drive precious metals bullion and mining stock to a parabolic peak price of $10,000 sometime in 2012 or 2013 at the […

8. Hold On! It’s Far Too Early to Sell Your Gold and Silver
We are at an important crossroads in this commodities bull market,,,[where] even the most fearless bulls are tempted to give up – to sell out of their positions and consider themselves lucky that they were able to be along for the ride and to escape with any profits at all – but I have posted a chart below to help remind you of the real danger in “getting out” now.

10. Goldrunner: Gold on the Cusp of $3,000+: An Update
Our work with Gold is based on a “Model” off the late 70’s Gold Bull that has been replicating nicely since we started the Fractal Work with Gold back in 2002 and 2003. Short-term volatile moves in Gold, as we have seen over the past weeks, do not affect our projections based on the model, leaving the expectation of a move in Gold up to $3,000 into mid-year based intact as outlined in our previous article entitled Gold Tsunami: on the Cusp of $3000+?

13. Deja Vu? Is Gold Just in a Correcting Phase on Its Way to Parabolic Peak of $4,294?

Many market participants are wondering why [gold] is not responding more positively to Europe’s never-ending sovereign debt crisis and other worrisome economic and political developments around the world…Technical analysts say that gold must build more support in the $1,750 to $1,800 an ounce range before it can muster enough strength to sustain a meaningful and lasting rally.
