The silver and GOLD PRICE surprised me mildly, as I thought taking the pressure of Greek elections off them might send gold back for a visit to $1,610, but it didn't. Low today fell only to $1,615.95, but above gold could reach no higher than $1,630.22. GOLD PRICE closed Comex down a measly $1.30 at $1,625.70. This is equivocal, but not bad as gold keeps a foothold in that $1,625 - $1,633 resistance zone.
The GOLD PRICE must work its way through that barrier. This could take a while, but I believe the danger of a plunge has passed. I don't expect to see prices lower than $1,610 ever again -- But I could be wrong.
The SILVER PRICE lost 6.9 cents on Comex to close 2866.5c. range was small and quiet today, too, from 2881.3 to 2829c. that 2829c low leaves a double bottom on the five day chart. On the longer term chart the SILVER PRICE has just stalled, but above its 20 DMA (2842). Silver is still fighting that 2900c hurdle. Until it jumps that, it will be marking time. Be patient. It will come.
Markets today looked like the Three Stooges after somebody shouted "Grenade!" They had all clapped their hands over their ears, ducked, then, to their surprise, there was no explosion and they were still alive and breathing.
So today after the Greek election. Big build up with a little mouse-burp outcome. Left markets confused. European stocks rose strongly, then fell. US stocks were mixed. Silver and gold dropped, but only a wee bit. Dollar index rose 0.49%, Euro fell 0.52%.
Welcome to Bewilderworld.
Man, ain't that central bank stability something grand?
Punchdrunk stocks couldn't figure out what they wanted to do. Dow fell, S&P rose, neither one much to amount to anything. Dow lost 25.35 (0.2%) to 12,741.82. Unwilling to play along, the S&P500 rose 1.94 (0.14%) to 1,344.78.
Stocks will move higher, not for any fundamental reason but only for the perfervid imagination of naïve investors who know not the many alternatives the world offers which actually have some chance of making money some day and are not in a primary bear market. Stocks may reach their highs of earlier this year, but oh! What pain, weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth will follow.
US dollar index rose 40.7 basis points or 0.49% to trade now at 81.954. 20 day moving average stands above at 82.25, and unless the Dollar Index can at least cross above that, nothing big is happening. The Greeks' electing the sell-out party did the euro no good. It sold off 0.52% to $1.2576. Appears the yen only gained last week from fear of a euro disaster, since it lost 0.58% today to 126.41c/Y100 (Y79.11/US$1).
SPECIAL OFFER
U.S. $5 and $10 modern commemoratives.
These are US $5 and $10 gold commemoratives minted over the last 30 years to the ancient US standard.
The US gold $5 commemorative contains 0.2418 oz gold and costs US$409.00 while the US gold $10 commem contains just twice as much gold, 0.4838 oz, and costs US$818.00.
Premium over gold content value for these is a tiny 4%.
I will sell lots of Six (6) each $5 gold commems ($409.00 each) for $2,454 + $25 shipping = $2,479.00 per lot. A $10 gold counts as two $5 golds, so you can order one $10 and four $5s and that equals six $5s, or two $10s and two $5s also equals six $5s, or three $10s equals six $5s.
However, I reserve the right to mix the orders as suits me, but have roughly equal ounces of each, so you'll most likely get some $10s.
Limit ten (10) lots per customer.

To avoid confusion, please remember that the comments above have a very short time horizon. Always invest with the primary trend. Gold's primary trend is up, targeting at least $3,130.00; silver's primary is up targeting 16:1 gold/silver ratio or $195.66; stocks' primary trend is down, targeting Dow under 2,900 and worth only one ounce of gold; US$ or US$-denominated assets, primary trend down; real estate bubble has burst, primary trend down.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER. Be advised and warned:
Do NOT use these commentaries to trade futures contracts. I don't intend them for that or write them with that short term trading outlook. I write them for long-term investors in physical metals. Take them as entertainment, but not as a timing service for futures.
NOR do I recommend investing in gold or silver Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs). Those are NOT physical metal and I fear one day one or another may go up in smoke. Unless you can breathe smoke, stay away. Call me paranoid, but the surviving rabbit is wary of traps.
NOR do I recommend trading futures options or other leveraged paper gold and silver products. These are not for the inexperienced.
NOR do I recommend buying gold and silver on margin or with debt.
What DO I recommend? Physical gold and silver coins and bars in your own hands.
One final warning: NEVER insert a 747 Jumbo Jet up your nose. No, I don't.
