Gold $5,000 & Silver $200? Market Reality Is Not Until… (+2K Views)

“Follow the munKNEE via Facebook or Register to receive articles via our Intelligence Report newsletter (Recipients restricted to only 1,000 active subscribers)

So many  headlines are saying “$5,000 Gold; $10,000 Gold; Silver, The Investment171686-gold-silver-bars of the Decade;” etc, etc, etc.  Will that happen?  A history of failed fiat currencies says “yes”. When will it happen?  That is the question few articles address because they simply have no clue, beyond their sensationalized headlines. Who can best answer that question?  It is not “who can”, but “what can”, and that comes from the market itself – ever the most reliable source.  The answers may not always satisfy, but the market is never wrong [and this is what the market is saying]. Words: 590

So writes Michael Noonan (http://edgetraderplus.com) in edited excerpts from his original article* entitled Gold And Silver – Where Is The Rally?  What Is Missing?.

This article is presented compliments of www.FinancialArticleSummariesToday.com (A site for sore eyes and inquisitive minds) and www.munKNEE.com (Your Key to Making Money!) and may have been edited ([ ]), abridged (…) and/or reformatted (some sub-titles and bold/italics emphases) for the sake of clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read. Please note that this paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement.

Noonan goes on to say in further edited excerpts:

What can be said with certainty is that before gold and silver can go up, they first have to stop going down.

Remember:

  • the dire headlines about failed currencies and countries;
  • the purported PM shortages;
  • the lack of available physical metal to fulfill futures/ETF contact obligations;
  • the huge purchases by China, India, and Russia;
  • the Western countries over-hypothecating gold holdings;
  • the empty central bank vaults;
  • the tungsten-filled bars being delivered,

you name it, are well-known by controlling market forces.  It has all been stated, restated, then stated again, yet the current price of gold and silver do not reflect these “realities.” Why? Because consideration is not being given to those in power and their ability to hold onto that power, at all costs.

The outright lies being fed to the world’s public, at least in Europe and the United States, continue to dominate headlines by the bought-and-paid-for television and print media.  Where is the outrage?  What little there is comes from the relatively small community of “fringe” bloggers – the best truth-tellers – and those who have been consistently buying physical gold and silver. Unfortunately, they are no match for the powerful forces that will destroy whatever gets in their way, be it a country drowning in debt, salvaging it with yet more debt, or the debasing of one’s own fiat currency, to keep the lie alive. Right now, the lies are winning.  They have to, in order for central bankers to keep power over everyone and everything else.

Until you start seeing currencies collapse…$5,000 or $10,000 gold and $200 or more silver are not [going to be] in the picture, and the charts are telling you as much.  Yes, price is being manipulated by four primary large banks each and every day…[but to suggest that] the exchange prices do not reflect the realities of the market is [just] not true.  The reality is that the manipulators are still in charge, and for as long as they are, the price of gold and silver will remain where they are.  Were it otherwise, you would see the price of gold and silver considerably higher.

For now, the market is saying the suppression of the price of gold and silver is alive and well.  The operative words are: “For now.”  Until you start seeing price move higher, the market is sending the message that precious metals are locked into a protracted trading range….Sentiment and bias aside, the market is telling a story that differs from the PM community’s beliefs and expectations, at least for now, and that is reality.

Trading ranges last until they stop, and this one has not yet stopped…The market is at a critical juncture, and it will provide us with some valuable information based on how price develops, starting next week.

1. 2013 Will Go Down In History As THE Best Buying Opportunity for Gold & Silver Metals and Stocks – Ever!

gold

The precious metals complex is arguably at its most bearish sentiment since the start of the bull market 12 years ago. Either the bull market is over or this will prove to be a tremendous buying opportunity. It’s clear that anyone who doesn’t believe in Gold for the long-term has sold and judging from the sentiment indicators, Gold is now in much stronger hands than when it was trading at these prices at the 2012 and 2011 lows. Despite all of the bearish sentiment, the panic and bad-mouthing, Gold (and Silver) has maintained its consolidation. Thus, if Gold is able to hold this support and turn higher, it should approach $1750 to $1800 faster than one would think. This year will go down in history as one of the best buying opportunities for both the metals and the stocks. Words: 675; Charts: 3

2. This Analysis Suggests Gold Might Spike to $2,600 in June and $4,866 in January 2015

Gold_intro

An analysis of surprising similarities between the 5 major spikes in the price of gold since 2001 suggests that if those similarities were applied to the 5th price spike (August, 2011) going forward that it would not be unreasonable to expect a spike to $2,600 in June or July of this year and another spike –  to somewhere between $4,700 and $5,050 – in January/February of 2015.

3. These 40+ Analysts See Gold Going to $5-6,000 (on average) By Late 2014/Early 2015

Gold_intro

Analyst after analyst (in excess of 170 at last count) has been forecasting what the parabolic peak price for gold will eventually be. That being said, however, only 43 have been bold enough to include the year in which they think their peak price estimate will occur and they are listed below. Take a look at who is projecting what, by when and why. Words: 400

4. Coming Move In Gold Will See It Reach $3,200 by Late 2014 or Early 2015

for-more-on-gold

The breakdown after the QE4  announcement, and now the extreme move into a yearly cycle low has, I  daresay, convinced everyone that the gold bull is over. I would argue that it is impossible for the gold bull to be over as long as central  banks around the world continue to debase their currencies [and that] gold is just creating the conditions – a T-1 pattern – necessary for its next leg up to what I expect to be…around $3200 sometime in late 2014 or early 2015. [Let me explain.] Words: 560; Charts: 3

5. Past Bubble Movements Suggests a Parabolic Peak Price of $9,000 for Gold & $250 for Silver Is NOT Unreasonable – Take a Look

bubbles

Bubbles tend to follow the 80/20 ratio indicated in the Pareto Principle where approximately 80% of the price move occurs in the LAST 20% of the time. That being the case it would appear that gold and silver could conceivably top out around $9,000 per troy ounce and $250/ozt respectively .This is not a prediction of future prices of gold and silver; it is an indication of what could happen in a speculative bubble environment based on the history of previous bubbles.

6. What Does a “Troy” Ounce of Gold Mean? What Does 18 or 24 “Karat” Gold Mean?

When the price of gold is mentioned as costing “x dollars per troy ounce” do you fully appreciate the signifance of the term “troy”? When looking to buy gold jewellery do you fully understand what the difference is between an item that is 10 “karat” gold and another item stamped 18 “karat” gold (other than that it is much more expensive)?

< noscript>”gold-bar5″I am not predicting a future price of gold or the date that gold will trade at $4,000, but I am making a projection based on rational analysis that indicates a likely time period for gold to trade at $4,000 per troy ounce. Yes, $4,000 gold is completely plausible if you assume the following:

8. Alf Field: Once $1,800 Is Taken Out Gold Will See a Vigorous Climb to $4,500 Area

Gold_intro

There is a high probability that the correction in the gold price that started in early October at $1797 has been completed. Once $1800 is taken out on the upside the gold chart will look tremendous. A beautiful “cup and handle” base would then provide strong support for a vigorous upward climb in the precious metal. At this stage there is no reason to abandon the rough target of $4500 for this coming upward wave. [Below is my analysis and some charts on the situation.] Words: 434; Charts: 2

9. What Do the Similarities & Differences Between the 1980 Top in Gold & the Current Situation Mean for Its Future?

Multiple-forms-of-gold-bullion

The fact that nobody really knows with absolute certainty where gold will really go from today onward makes people try to make their own guesses about what can happen with the yellow metal. One of the methods to do that is to look back into past situations and try to estimate if what is happening now is somehow similar to those past events. The situation in the gold market today is different than the one in 1980 in a few important areas. Even if past patterns don’t give you any certainty, though, sometimes they can limit the uncertainty. Let us analyze that in more detail. Words: 1260; Charts: 2

The timing of this article may seem incongruous given the current weak performance of gold and gold stocks but that was the identical situation in each of the past manias – both the metal and the equities didn’t excel until the frenzy kicked in.

gold_price_surges_weak_jobs_data

The closing of the gold window back in August 1971 has led governments worldwide to create endless amounts of worthless paper money and the resulting credit bubble has created a world debt exposure of over US$ 1 quadrillion (including derivatives). It has also created perceived wealth for big parts of the world’s population – a wealth which is only backed by promises to pay and by   grossly inflated assets. Few people realise that this wealth is totally illusory and will implode considerably faster than the time it took to create it.  [Let me explain.] Words: 890

Let me explain where we are at this point in time.

< p>< p>< noscript>”gold-bars4″This is not a typical bull market. Gold is not rising in value, but instead, currencies are losing purchasing power against gold and, therefore, gold can rise as high as currencies can fall. Since currencies are falling because of increasing debt, gold can rise as high as government debt can grow. Based on official estimates, America’s debt is projected to reach $23 trillion in 2015 and, if its correlation with the price of gold remains the same, the indicated gold price would be $2,600 per ounce. However, if history is any example, it’s a safe bet that government expenditure estimates will be greatly exceeded, and [this] rising debt will cause the price of gold to rise to $10,000…over the next five years.

Furthermore, for every one percentage point real rates differ from 2%, gold moves by eight times that amount per year. So if the real rates are at 1%, gold will move up at an 8% annualized rate. If real rates are at 0%, then gold will move up at a 16% rate (that’s been about the story for the past decade). Conversely, if the real rate jumps to 3%, then gold will drop at an 8% rate.

Looking at the recent Gold Miners price action and crash-like conditions, I cannot hide my excitement. As we judge the recent cyclical bear market within the longer term secular uptrend, we can see that Gold Miners are becoming very attractive. Whether it is the technically oversold levels that only occur a handful of times over a generation, the rock bottom valuations on nominal or relative basis, or the extreme sentiment that the overall sector is going through, all of these indicators point to one conclusion: we are fast approaching a major buying opportunity.

Gold stocks are down between 20% and 30% over the past year yet, in that same timeframe, the price of the gold has risen. As a result, sentiment toward gold stocks is pitiful.

The mining stocks have been a disaster if you’ve invested in the average fund, GDX or GDXJ and if you’ve invested in the wrong stocks, they’ve been a total disaster and you will now hate the sector forever. We’ve certainly been surprised by this protracted struggle. In my articles you’ve heard me talk about accumulating on weakness, buying support, being patient and waiting for better opportunities.

27. The Good News – and Bad – Regarding Gold, Silver & PM Stocks Going Forward

crowne-gold-silver-bullion_l

As we begin 2013, there has been an important shift in regards to precious metals…the decoupling that has taken place between the equity market and the precious metals complex…[which] began nearly 17 months ago (decouplings of three or six months are not significant). Since the Euro crisis in summer 2011, the equity market has rallied nearly 30% and reached a five-year high, but gold stocks are down by more than 30%…[and, as such,]  precious metals cannot begin an impulsive sustained bull move if the equity market continues to move higher. The equity market has to struggle with resistance and begin a mild cyclical bear move. While over the near-term precious metals can confirm a higher low, the 2013 success of the sector depends on the struggles of conventional stocks.

  1. To debt management, get ready to be impressed both with the articles and the links provided!

    Big changes in PM’s “value” will occur when global events “happen”, and trying to identify exactly when that is, is not like looking up similar events in history books.

    For me the bottom line is that such events WILL happen and those that have be planning ahead will probably do much better than those that have not.

    I suggest you become a PM “prepper”, you have nothing to lose except some interest!
