Not one Precious Metals guru has gotten anything right in the last 18 months. All have been calling for considerably higher prices. Over the past several months none called for sub-$1,300 gold and sub-$20 silver. Crystal balls do not work and never have. When it comes to markets, anything can happen [but the charts convey that] there is no apparent ending action suggesting a selling climax or even a cause for a reaction rally. Take a look.

The monthly silver chart does not reflect what could be viewed as ending action for the decline. If/as price rallies, it may be more of a futures selling opportunity than a sign of recovery. As the structure stands, odds favor lower price attempts.

The 3 videos presented here sum up where we are, why gold was bombed, why technical analysis in gold is a major waste of time and the direction we are, without any doubt, going. They build an argument that screams that you should not sell your physical gold or gold producers with political sensitivity, cheap cost of production, and near surface gold and, instead, either initiate or increase your gold and unique gold producer position.

Going forward, if gold can break $1,478, the next level of interest is the closing price of $1,501 from April 12. If you are looking to get long gold, it would probably be best to wait until the commodity can get back above at least one of these levels before making a commitment.

We are seeing signs of a bottom...in gold...but... prudence calls for waiting for some signs of stabilization before getting long. I would rather miss the first 10-20% move than lose another 50% should I get long prematurely. [Let me show you some charts that illustrate my caution.] Words: 288; Charts: 6

The recent slide in the gold price has generated substantial demand for bullion that will likely bring forward a financial and systemic disaster for both central and bullion banks that has been brewing for a long time. Here's why. Words: 2130

Volatility in the gold market often results in extremely bullish and bearish views. Below are 4 facts to remember about gold that should help neutralize such views and allow you to take a more balanced and thoughtful approach to the yellow metal.

"What crash?" Gold is still up almost 500% since 2001. How does the S&P and Dow compare over that timeframe? Better yet, how about Apple stock? There is no other investment sector/space as they like to say these days, which can come close. So again I ask "What crash?"

In my article of April 5th, posted here, I maintained that in the next year, and particularly for the next three to six months, a liquidation phase in the current cyclical bear market in gold would likely develop,,,[causing gold to] fall sharply. [Below are the 8 reasons I mentioned back then which still remain relevant today.]

Much has been written about the collapse in the prices of precious metals over the past week. Below are introductions to 9 articles that present different points of view as to what has happened, probably is still continuing and may continue to unfold in the weeks to come.
