Is The Gold Community A Cult?

I recently was involved in a discussion centered around the gold community and their constant talk of manipulation and price suppression.

I remember as a kid buying candy bars for a nickel. When they raised the price to a dime, I said I would never buy a candy bar again. Of course that promise to myself didn’t last long, but today, a candy bar costs 20 times as much as it did in 1964 when a silver dime could buy you two of them. To put things into perspective, the dollar of today could buy you 20 candy bars in 1964. What can...

Euro and Yen Make Up 71.2% Of Dollar Index Which Is Why I Am Dollar Bullish

How many times do you hear someone who sells gold and silver be dollar bullish? Probably not very often. But when you look at what the Dollar Index represents, a basket of other currencies, it’s quite easy to be dollar bullish right now.

Peter Schiff’s One Week Sale Versus Our Everyday Low Price On Gold

While writing my next article on the Euro and European bank mess, I received a solicitation email from a friendly competitor of mine, Peter Schiff (see ad below). In this email Peter was offering 1/2 ounce gold American Eagle coins at just a 5.75% premium over spot.

When There Is Blood On The Streets Buy Gold Part 1

Are those that bought gold and silver panicking yet? I would hope not. My advice to dollar cost average into a position is paying off as my prediction of a stronger dollar is coming to fruition. But there are some investors who bought gold or silver the past few months that might be panicking. There is a possibility the blood on the streets is not over, but we are inching ever closer.

Continued from Part 1 How Far Can the Euro Sink? There are two key areas in the charts below that we need to keep an eye on, the 6/10 low of 1.19 and the 11/05 low of 1.16.

Confused About Falling Prices Of Gold and Silver? Part 1

Are the gold bubble prognosticators right? Is the run in gold and silver over as they fall to a three month low? Nothing could be further from the truth. The reason gold and silver prices have fallen of late is because, as I have been saying, the Dollar Index is rising. This is a 40 year pattern that was last repeated in 2008 when the Dollar Index broke above the 80 mark. Yesterday, the Dollar...

Did Dennis Gartman Sell His Gold?

My first response to this question, is…”who cares?” I listened to Dennis Gartman speak at a LPL financial conference a few years back and Dennis Gartman gave a speech about how he readily admits he is wrong 80% of the time. So while Gartman was on CNBC telling everyone he was selling his gold, he actually sold 1/4 of his gold holdings for the following reason; What he did was...

Dollar Still Rising and US Treasuries Still Strong While Gold Falters

The US Dollar made it up over the 79 mark today and moving closer and closer to breaking 80 on its way to the 85 range. Thank you Europe!
