Gold Q&A: Answers to our Subscribers' Most Pressing Questions

• Does a positive correlation of gold with the dollar imply a fundamental change in the market?

  December 21, 2012, 12:00 PM

  Periods of positive correlation with the dollar are beyond strange and highly unnerving. Are such periods an indication of some fundamental change in gold? It almost seems impossible. Any light you could shed on why gold sometimes tracks the dollar's every move would be greatly appreciated. This seems to negate the purpose we entered the PM market in the first place.

• Does it make sense to stay in the gold market if it is manipulated?

  It's all a waste of time. The Fed still exists, JP Morgan still exists. What's likely to change that? Ron Paul is out. Metals are done along with the dollar and the Constitution. Sell your gold, silver and dollars and use the proceeds to purchase vacuum packed food, jarred water, guns, ammo, and a bunker. Those items may buy you a little time unless you'd simply prefer to just die sooner. In that case no action is necessary.

  People like Mike Maloney and Max Kaiser are bearish on gold and silver by stating gold should be at $15,000.00/ounce. That's a no-brainer. Gold should probably be at $40,000.00/ounce but it's going nowhere as long as JP Morgan-Chase and the Fed dominate.

  It would take an insurrection to remove them. Americans are far too complacent. They don't have the courage of the Libyans. They're watching the Kardashians on TV. Gold and silver will periodically have their little explosive breakouts, then be collapsed again by the naked shorting of the banksters. I mean bankers. Nothing will stop this pattern.

  I laugh when I hear people talk about Buffet and Bill Gates being the richest guys. The $50 or $60 billion they each have in their second rate companies is chump change. It's pocket money to swing by Dunkin' Donuts for an Iced Coffee. The real money is with people like the Rothschild heirs. Conservatively we're looking at over $100 TRILLION and perhaps much, much more. Perhaps in excess of one quadrillion.

  Bill Gates and Buffett qualify for food stamps. The true wealth – not chumps like Buffett and Gates – will NEVER permit gold and silver to reach even one tenth of one percent of their true value. Give this nonsense up already. (…)

• Does technical analysis work on manipulated markets?

  January 28, 2010, 12:00 PM

  (...) the GATA people and others say that technical analysis simply doesn't work on manipulated markets, and I have to concur with this. Manipulation makes technical analysis useless. Gold, silver and the dollar are all manipulated.

• Don’t your charts become outdated if the market conditions change?

  October 15, 2010, 12:00 PM

  In your analysis you use a lot of charts. Don’t they become outdated if the market conditions change? You use charts, patterns and algorithms. However, the assumptions on which you use them could have evolved along with the change in the underlying economic context. This could imply these tools are no longer applicable.
