Gold, Silver & Other Commodities

For the first time in 2013, Silver and the Gold/Silver ratio are breaking above their falling resistance lines and that's a positive for Silver. The last time the Gold/Silver ratio broke resistance in 2010, Silver rallied well over 100% in a matter of months. Are the patterns suggesting another 100% rally in Silver?

So you think you own some gold because you own a gold ETF. Right? Think again! At best you share your gold with 55 other supposed "owners" What a sham the gold market is. An utter sham! Here's why.

Some of the finest and most highly regarded minds in the world of PMs have been saying gold and silver are going higher...[but] the charts have “said” otherwise, and that has been the correct read...The fundamentals may be as bullish as can be [but] the charts are sending a different message.

The manipulated raids in the gold market since last April may be hurting the Precious Metals game players, weakening their confidence and “disproving” gold’s worth against a fiat currency, but they serve a greater purpose, as in Federal Reserve payback time to China. Here's why.

The price of gold, on a quarterly basis, is 86% correlated - yes, 86%! - to total government debt going back to 1975... and a shocking 98% over the past 15 years!. Despite the current rumblings, everyone is aware that the debt ceiling will be raised and will likely surpass $20 trillion by the end of President Obama’s term. That would put the price of gold at about $2,000 per ounce.

Using past history of how price responds, it is likely that gold, and silver, could move sideways for another year or two. While this flies in the face of so many current, supposedly "expert", opinions [mine is not based on opinion but, rather, is strictly based on the facts as conveyed by the charts. Take a look and you will see that too!]

I don't want to kill the dream of U.S. energy independence but the fact is it won't become a reality overnight. It's entirely possible, however, that the North American continent [Canada, the U.S. and Mexico] can achieve energy independence within the next decade. [Let me explain.]

In this exclusive interview, Eric Sprott answers questions about the gold and silver market in which he suggests that gold could double in a year and, in the case of silver, could go up even more than that. As for gold and silver equities, he believes gains could be gargantuan, because the equities always double or triple the performance of physical gold. Here's his reasoning.

Below is a perfect example of how the charts timed the movement in the price of gold and silver over the past week. Yes, you CAN time the market as this article clearly demonstrates! When the market “talks,” we listen.]

The implications to the gold price when backwardation appears are widely misunderstood so I have prepared this brief note to explain backwardation, of which there are two types – money backwardation and commodity backwardation - and, as I explain below, both apply to gold.
