The GOLD PRICE reached a high today of $1,244.50 but could not hold on there. High came about 4:00 a.m. before New York opened, then gold was higher but flat, then fell off about 2:00 p.m. and ended the day only $1.60 higher at $1,234.30 I believe I remember telling y'all gold might need more than one try to clear the neckline of that upside down head and shoulders, now about $1,235.30. It ended below that neckline.

Silver Price

But the SILVER PRICE! Rose 59 cents to close Comex at $17.125, up 3.7%. It broke through the downtrend line of the diamond reversal (see chart on the right) and ran to the downtrend line from the August 2013 high. Great performance for the day, closed near the high ($17.22). Yes, yes, silver needs further confirmation: a close over $17.50, a close over $18.60. Yes, but that will come.

Gold/Silver Ratio

But I want y'all to look, just look, at that GOLD/SILVER RATIO chart on the left, From 74.551 yesterday it fell to 72.076 today, gapping down out of the diamond reversal pattern, falling, falling, falling. Stirring news, fabulous news for gold and silver. It promises that we have seen the metals' lows and dodged the dum-dum bullet of another trip to 84:1.

Friends, y'all have to buy the breakouts.


Susan is going to skin me unless I get home in time for dinner tonight. Six of our seven grown children are coming for supper, so I have to make it fast.

Stocks looked terrible today. Early in the day the Dow had rallied 282, but it just wilted across the day, gave back all the gains before 2:00, then closed 27.16 (0.15%) LOWER at 17,613.68. Lo, the S&P500 held its hand, losing 5.23 (0.26%) to 2,023.03. Very weak showing.

Dow in silver plunged 2.96% today to S$1,332.54 silver dollars (1,030.64 oz), S$40.62 lower. Broke through an internal resistance line I had been watching. Dow in silver and Dow in gold will slide further.

US dollar index ended the day 23 basis points (0.25%) higher at 92.46. At one point today stocks, the dollar index, AND gold and silver were all romping higher. Euro is puking sick, down 0.49% to $1.1775. Yen really is rallying, climbed over its 50 dma today, and rose 0.38% to 84.83.

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.
