    January 19, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In this free essay we deal with the current situation in the precious metals stocks. After all, PMs usually move along with the corresponding equities, so analyzing PM stocks is useful even if you are interested in trading / investing in metals only.

    January 15, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The rally in gold was indeed stopped by the closest resistance level and price has been trading sideways since that time. Where are gold and silver likely to go next? This is one of the issues that we deal with in this week's free commentary.

    January 11, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The USD Index is currently one of the most important short-term drivers of gold and silver prices, and we have dedicated a whole essay to this particular market. In this article we analyze the USD Index directly, and indirectly - using an ETF fund as a proxy, which allows us to analyze volume. As always, we explain the implications for the precious metals Investors.


  • Gold Moved Higher, but Is This Move Really The Beginning of a New Upleg?

    January 8, 2010, 12:00 PM

    Precious Metals moved higher this week, so we believe you might be wondering whether or not the bottom has been put, and if you should get back in with your speculative (as you may recall, we already suggested getting back on the long side of the market with your long-term holdings) capital. In this essay we analyze the current situation on the gold and silver markets and elaborate on some of the signals that they provide.


  • Gold Rallied On The First Trading Day of The Year, But Is The Bottom In?

    January 4, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The precious metals moved higher in the first trading session of 2010, which is traditionally known as a bullish sign for the whole following year. However, this single session does not determine the direction in which metals will head in the following days / weeks - there are other tools that need to be applied in order to find the most probable short-term outcome. In this essay we focus on the current situation on the gold market and its implications for long-term Investors and short-term Speculators.

  • Are The Precious Metals Stocks Bottoming Or Just Taking A Breather?

    December 30, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The end of the year is usually calm on the capital markets. The volatility is low, as the money managers from all over the world take some time off and spend the Holiday Season with their families. At the same time, the end of the year is a perfect time for summarizing and reviewing this year's actions and making key decisions regarding the next year. The beginning of this essay will not be any different.

    December 24, 2009, 12:00 PM

    Gold is becoming more and more popular topic in the investment world, but that doesn't mean that everyone is buying it yet. This week I comment on some of the popular views among the bank experts from a respectable financial institution and analyze the gold market along with corresponding equities. Additionally, I comment on the situation in the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index.


  • Gold and Silver Correct But What If The General Stock Market Really Plunges?

    December 18, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The precious metals market had been moving lower in the past several days in a rather sharp manner, after which we've seen a small rally that I mentioned to my Subscribers, a week ago. PMs appear to be ready to continue their downward path, but how low can they go? What about the situation in the general stock market, which looks even more bearish than a week ago?


  • China's Impact on PMs Is Strong, But The Bottom In Silver May Not Be In Yet

    December 16, 2009, 12:00 PM

    Silver has many industrial uses, which makes it correlated to the general stock market. China's industrial demand is strong, but the positive fundamental situation does not influence short-term price swings - emotions do, and technical analysis is one of the ways to deal with this situation. In this essay I apply the TA to the silver market.


  • Is The End of The Brutal Sell-off In Gold or Was That Just A Beginning?

    December 11, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The precious metals market has been moving lower in the past several days in a rather sharp manner. Does this mean that the plunge is just beginning or is the precious metals market likely to move higher just as quick as it moved down starting now? In this week's free essay I deal with the above questions by commenting on the situation in gold and gold stocks


  • Should the Weakness in The Silver-to-Gold Ratio Make You Worried?

    December 9, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The silver-to-gold ratio is one of the key ratios that one needs to take into consideration, while analyzing the precious metals market. The ratio tends to soar before a local top is reached, but this has not been the case this time. Does this mean that the current move is a fake one and PMs are to rally immediately?


  • Was That the Top? Silver and Precious Metals Stocks Provide Important Clues

    December 4, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The precious metals dropped hard today, which - if you read my previous essays - shouldn't surprise you. The move lower has been in the cards for some time now, but was today's move a beginning of a bigger decline, or just a blip on the radar screen?


  • Precious Metals Stocks - Breakout or Plunge?

    December 2, 2009, 12:00 PM

    There are many reasons for gold to at least double from here and this essay mentions five of them. However, the road to the top will not be a straight line, and since that is the case it makes sense to take advantage of the inevitable corrections. This essay provides you with the detailed analysis of the precious metals stocks.


  • PMs Have Been Moving Parabolically Recently, But Is (Was?) This The Final Run Up?

    November 27, 2009, 12:00 PM

    Gold has been rising parabolically in the past several weeks, but today's price action may mark the end of this rapid upswing. There are signs that we may see even higher prices of PMs in the following days, but it doesn't seem profitable to wait for these prices to be achieved. Please keep in mind that the road to the top will not be a straight line, and since that is the case it makes sense to take advantage of the inevitable corrections. You will find more details in this week's Free Commentary.


  • The Smart Money Is In The Precious Metals Market, But a Local Top Is Close

    November 25, 2009, 12:00 PM

    The smart money is definitely in gold and silver right now, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the following part of the bull market will not have any corrections. Currently, silver and precious metals stocks suggest that a correction is close. Apart from analyzing these two key markets, I also explain how it can make sense to enter the market and exit it at the same time.
