Silver and GOLD PRICES were knocked to the ground today. The SILVER PRICE lost 27.6 cents (1.7%) to end Comex at $16.164. Gold lost 0.8% or $9.50 & closed at $1,193.60. Y'all cast back you minds to 31 March & that $1,178.20 gold price low. Today's trading dragged (NOT "drug") us back to the breakout after that low. Indicators point down.

What remains to catch the GOLD PRICE & keep it from falling to the world's magma core? The uptrend line off the 17 March low, where it stopped today. If gold does turn around here instead of piercing that uptrend line, well, oh, my! But it must wheel & turn here.

Gold Silver Ratio
Working against that is the GOLD/SILVER RATIO, which rose again today, up 1.3%. Gapped up again. Possible that it is running out of steam here, but only if it proves that tomorrow with a lower or sideways close. Chart's on the left.

US Dollar
Today the US dollar index SURGED to a new high for the move, rising 117 basis points (1.20%) to 99.31. Look at the chart on the right to see what "surged" really means. That cracked resistance at the 20 DMA (98.39), the downtrend line, the last high, & the trading channel's midline, forecasting a move at least to the last high at 100.71. That is not inevitable, but would cap the dollar's SURGE of the last 9 months with a double top and well-earned correction.

Since the Euro is virtually the monetary mirror image of the dollar, it sank pitifully today, down 1.12% to $1.0659. Broke through the bottom of that rising flat-topped triangle and blasted that hope for a rally. Dead dog -- lice & fleas are dropping off & looking for a new canine with a brighter future.

Yen couldn't die today because it hasn't shown any signs of life in the past 4 months. Dropped 0.38% to 82.92, same range, same intertwined 50 & 20 DMAs. No direction.

Stocks are trying to raise their head against a falling ceiling. Dow inched up 56.22 (0.31%) to 17,958.73 while the S&P500 millimetered up 0.45% (9.28) to 2,091.18. Having a hard time revving up RPMs enough to rally.

Aurum et argentum comparenda sunt -- -- Gold and silver must be bought.

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.
