Long have I waited for the day I could say, "The GOLD PRICE leapt $27.60 (2.07%) to $1,361.60 today while silver outperformed, rising 114.8 cents or 5.27% to 2292.9c."
The SILVER PRICE first. Mercy! Silver leapt clean through all resistance in the 2200 - 2300c range and closed right under 2300c. Now silver is working on the 2480c reaction high after the April attack. Since the measured target for this move is about 2450c, silver should reach 2480c before taking a rest.
Silver is on a tear. Rate of change for 12, 21, and 63 days are all positive - for the first time since February. Silver has risen way above its 20 and 50 DMAs, and the distance between those and the 200 DMA are historically huge, a logical situation for a huge rally.
Silver is leading this rally like Stonewall Jackson fighting up the Shenanadoah Valley. Proving the strength of the rally is the gold/silver ratio, which today fell below 60 to 59.383.
The GOLD PRICE must escape the gravitational pull of $1,350, although it closed above that today. May high for gold was $1,487.20, but the biggest hurdle is $1,500, and beyond that $1,550 where the April debacle began. Next resistance for gold is $1,400. Everything is in place for a huge rally.
Stop waiting. Buy gold and silver.
When my wife looked at the thermometer on our deck this morning it read fifty-eight degrees. In August.
With great delight I saw today the Business Insider Money Game Chart of the Day headlined, "Gold Demand is Evaporating." Data came from the London Bullion Metals Association, Gold Fields Mineral Services, and the World Gold Council. These are the certified Three Stooges of gold forecasting. Haven't gotten anything right yet, although they are "widely respected." Also, presupposition undergirding this -- that a drop in industrial/jewelry demand will sap the future gold price -- doesn't come within two galaxies of correctness. Get this, write it on your eyelids, never forget it: GOLD BULL MARKETS ARE DRIVEN BY MONETARY, NOT INDUSTRIAL, DEMAND. Ditto silver. Next time you hear anybody say otherwise, you know you can stop listening. He doesn't get it.
Why am I delighted? Because these Wrong Way Corrigans always shoot off their press releases at exactly the wrong time. It's like George Bush telling you victory in the war on terror is finally here. This press release virtually guarantees higher gold prices.
Why are media reports about 86% hogwash, other than that the American media continually prostitutes itself to the yankee government and Wall Street? Because they have to find some rationalization for what markets are doing. Other than the fundamentals which move markets slowly and inexorably over time, markets reach within themselves a readiness to move one way or the other. When they do the media, groping for some reason, often misidentify the catalyst as the cause. They do the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy really stunningly.
Of course in the frenzied world where many markets are driven by central bank watching -- and remember, the central bankers themselves have no inkling what they will do -- markets do crazy things. A GOOD (that is, lying) government employment report today raised fears the Fed would stop buying bonds, and accordingly sent stocks and the dollar into a tailspin. Folks, Bernanke can no more taper than a heroin addict can "ease off." Those who live by QE die by QE.
Somebody left the man-hole cover off and stocks stepped in and disappeared. Dow lost 225.47 (1.47%) to 15,112.19 S&P500 tumbled 24.07 (1.43%) to 1,661.32. Oooo. S&P500 GAPPED down. Both sliced clean through their 50 DMA, which now moves my targets to 14,700 and 1,560 for these corrections.
[Loud, long Rebel Yell!] Yes, oh, yes, the Dow in metals sank like your grandpa's false teeth when he leaned over the well and smiled. Dow in gold busted down 2.75% to G$232.86 gold dollars ) or 11.264 oz. Dow in silver fell -- Be still, my beating heart! -- 5.7% or 40.46 oz to close BELOW 700 oz at 668.92. Trend vindicated and confirmed!
Now y'all know why I watch those indicators.
US dollar index dropped 53.1 basis points (0.68%) to 81.178, giving up most of the last week's gains. Ten year treasury note yield shot up 1.59% to 2.755%. Ben, Ben, you're gonna need some Aspirin tonight, and maybe some Scotch. Make it a triple.
Yen and euro both shot back up today, but not in an upward reversal, I think. Rather, both were filling in gaps left behind when they broke down. Yen finished up 0.775 at 102.74 cents/Y100. Euro gained 0.68% to $1.3347. Why would anyone buy any of those three scrofulous, nasty fiat currencies when gold and silver are so cheap?
On 15 August 1971 President Richard Nixon reneged on what was left of dollar convertibility into gold by slamming shut the gold window on foreign dollar holders. He also announced a 90 day freeze on wages and prices to halt inflation. Yeah, buddy! That worked to strengthen the dollar.

Special Conditions:
First come, first served, and no re-orders at these prices. I will write orders based on the time I receive your e-mail.
We will not take orders for less than the minimum shown above.
All sales on a strict "no-nag" basis. We will ship as soon as your check clears, but we allow Two weeks (14 days) for your check to clear. Calls looking for your order two days after we receive your check will be politely and patiently rebuffed.
It increases your chances of getting an order filled if you give me a second choice, e.g., "I want to order One lot of Offer No. 3, but if not available will take One lot of Offer No. 6." ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. You may order by e-mail only to [email protected]. No phone orders, please. Please do NOT order by replying to this email, because it will delay your email.
Your email must include your complete name, address, and phone number. We cannot ship to you without your address. Sorry, we cannot ship outside the United States or to Tennessee.
Repeat, you must include your complete name, address, and phone number. Our clairvoyant quit without warning last week and we can no longer read your mind.
2. When you buy from us, we cannot later change or cancel the trade. We are giving you our word that we will sell at that price, and you are giving us your word that you will buy at that price, regardless what later happens in the market, up or down.
If you break your word to us, we will never again do business with you.
3. Orders are on a first-come, first-served basis until supply is exhausted.
4. "First come, first-served" means that we will enter the orders in the order that we receive them by e-mail.
5. If your order is filled, we will e-mail you a confirmation. If you do not receive a confirmation, your order was not filled.
6. You will need to send payment by personal check or bank wire (either one is fine) within 48 hours. It just needs to be in the mail, not in our hands, in 48 hours.
7. "No Nag Basis" means that we allow fourteen (14) days for personal checks to clear before we ship. Want your order faster? Send a bank wire, but that's not required. Once we ship, the post office takes four to fourteen days to get the registered mail package to you. All in all, you'll see your order in about one month if you send a check.
8. Mention goldprice.org in your email.

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.
