Major US bank Wells Fargo has apparently been getting a lot of client inquiries about gold, and has responded pretty much as you’d expect: Hold Some But Not Too Much Gold, Says Wells Fargo (Kitco News) – Wells Fargo is once again cautioning investors from buying too much gold as prices continue to trade north […]
This (Completely Reasonable) Change In Investor Behavior Would Send Gold To The Moon
Mark Mobius took over for the legendary John Templeton at Franklin Templeton’s Emerging Markets Fund back in the 1980s, and filled those big shoes well for three decades. Now running his own shop, he recently made what seems like a completely reasonable suggestion about gold — one that if adopted by the broader investment community […]
Check Out The Epic Battle In The Gold Market
It is generally, if grudgingly, accepted that the “paper gold” markets – that is, the people trading futures contracts and options – are able to dictate the metal’s price and have used this power to suppress and delay gold’s inevitable trip to the moon. It’s also generally believed (at least by gold bugs) that demand […]
Marin Katusa: This Gold Bull Market Is For Real
In his latest report, commodities analyst Marin Katusa lays out the case for a sea change in gold’s relationship to the overall market. Here’s hoping he’s right: Gold Just Had Its Biggest One Day Influx EVER On Friday June 21st, the largest gold focused Exchange Traded Fund (GLD) saw over $1.5 billion flood into the […]
If History Still Matters, Silver Is Poised For A Huge Move
It’s been a pretty good couple of months for precious metals, but more so for gold than silver. Both are up but gold is up more, and the imbalance that this creates might be one of the major investment themes of the next few years. The gold/silver ratio – that is, how many ounces of […]
Finally, FOMO Arrives For Gold
The past few years have been a feeding frenzy for most major asset classes. Stocks blew through previous highs, as did trophy real estate, fine art, and, most recently, Treasury bonds. A big part of the reason for what came to be called the everything bubble was the sense that with everyone else making easy […]
Gold Tests Resistance – Again. Will The Sixth Time Be The Charm?
Here we go again. After a couple of big trading sessions, gold – for the sixth time in five years – is approaching the $1,350-ish level that has, each previous time, stopped it cold. It looks like fundamentals, including the Fed’s capitulation to choppy stock markets and trade-war related economic uncertainties, are trumping gold’s usual […]
Silver Speculators Say It’s Time To Start Buying
The gold futures market took a big step towards bullish — or at least neutral — in the past week. Speculators (usually wrong at big turning points) scaled back their long bets while commercials (usually right at turning points) reduced their net short positions. This is progress, but still leaves speculators long and commercials short. […]
Brutal Gold Futures Action Explains Last Week’s Big Price Decline
Just when it looked like gold futures — which still, unfortunately, dictate the price of physical precious metals — were ready to turn bullish, last week’s commitment of traders report (COT) revealed that commercial traders (usually right at big turns) had gone massively short while speculators (usually wrong at turning points) went aggressively long. That […]
Gold: Seasonality Bearish, Futures Turning Bullish
Early 2019 looked like a great set-up for gold, but failed to live up to its billing. A nice December-through-March run took the price back to the $1,350 resistance that had repelled it four times in the past five years. And that was that. No penetration and fast spike into the $1,500s. Just another failed […]
Interesting Junior Gold Miner Tidbit
It’s been a boring few years for gold miners in general and junior gold miners in particular. The metal has been in a trading range, capital has been relatively scarce, and major deals even scarcer. But under the surface things are bubbling, as a handful of emerging players put up good numbers and make their […]
Jay Taylor: Under “Basel III” Rules, Gold Becomes Money!
In his latest newsletter commodities analyst Jay Taylor notes that a very important date is approaching: In 2018, central banks added nearly 23 million ounces of gold, up 74% from 2017. This is the highest annual purchase rate increase since 1971, and the second-highest rate in history. Russia was the biggest buyer. And not surprisingly, […]
The Coming Wave Of Junior Gold Miner Buyouts
Spend a little time researching gold mining stocks and you’ll notice that once you get past a handful of familiar names there’s a long list of companies you’ve never heard of. Most of these are the proverbial “hole in the ground with a liar standing next to it.” But a fair number are real miners […]
Three Junior Miners You’ll Be Hearing About
In the notoriously hype-ridden junior miner space there’s never a shortage of great-sounding stories. Most fail to pan out, which means investors who survive in this sector are first and foremost cynics. Still, some juniors do end up succeeding in a big way. Here are three that have a good chance: Great Bear Resources A […]
Robert Moriarty’s New Book Will Save You A Lot Of Money
If you’re paying attention you’re probably 1) watching gold rise along with global instability, and 2) wondering if it’s finally time to load up on precious metals mining stocks. But of course you have no idea how to do this successfully, because hardly anyone does. Robert Moriarty – veteran mining analyst and proprietor of the […]
