The GOLD PRICE made good yesterday's breakout through the December high by adding another $5.20 (0.4%) and pushing to the top of the resistance area with a $1,295.30 close. It's a scant $5 from here to $1,300, the gold price hasn't seen that since November last.
Yesterday the GOLD PRICE broke upward through the neckline of an inverted head and shoulders sketched from November through yesterday. The breakout targets $1,368, about where Gold was stopped in August.
Don’t forget, either, that the gold price last week broke through that downtrend line from April 2013. Ought to keep climbing the rest of February.
The SILVER PRICE gained only 18.8 cents (0.93%) to 2033.1c, still lagging gold. I imagine the vulture sellers are lined up six deep at 2050c, waiting for their chance to sell again, but silver is about to push through the lot of them. Above stands the 200 DMA at 2118c, which, after all silver has been beaten up the last two years, looks like the Holy Grail.
Silver closing over 2050c will be the last confirmation that metals are rallying and intend to pull on their seven league boots. Get ready.
Absent a goose from Fed propagandist and new Head Criminal Janet Yellen or other prevaricating persiflage, stocks foundered today and kept falling behind. Had the feel of a projectile reaching the high point of its trajectory and beginning its fall back earthward.
Dow fell down 30.83 (0.19%) to 15,963.94 while the S&P500 only backed off 0.49 (0.3%) to 1,819.26, but then, the S&P500 has been stronger than the Dow throughout this little rally. Dow has recovered about 50% of its fall, S&P500 about 75%.
If this rally is only correcting the preceding drop, that ought to mark the limit of it. On the other hand, it might continue, even to make slightly new highs, yet is the end nigh and growing nigher all the time. Dow in Gold and Dow in Silver both dropped again today, but only slightly. Both are adumbrating that they intend to fall much, much further.
That slouching, scrofulous beast the US Dollar index leapt three (3, count 'em) basis points today to 80.75. It's stuck between its 50 DMA below (80.70) and 20 DMA above (80.95), spinning wheels and going nowhere fast.
Yet the dollar's lethargy aided not the euro, which sank like a lump in a churn, gapping down below all its clustered 20 and 50 and 62 day moving averages, backing away from that old uptrend line like Dracula crawfishing from a crucifix. Makes me wonder if the euro currency is foretelling more euro turmoil soon.
Yen rose only 0.11% to 97.57 cents/Y100. Japanese Nice Government Men have slapped it silly, trying to break its rally.

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. Send email to [email protected]
Sorry, 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 your order filled if you offer me a second choice, e.g., "I want to order One of Lot 2, but if not available will take One of Lot 2." 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, then I tripped, dropped, and smashed my crystal ball, and our fortune-teller is on strike, so I 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.
8. Mention goldprice.org in your email.
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.

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.
