  • Are the Precious Metals Stocks Breaking Higher or Topping Out?

    March 19, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In the March 5th commentary, we've summarized that signals coming from the analysis of the PM stocks' charts currently don't give us very precise signals, which may mean that they are to trade sideways for some time instead of making a sharp move in any direction, but there are other signals (...) that we may be near a local top.


  • Was That The Beginning of a New Rally in The Precious Metals?

    March 17, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The main stock indices have recently moved above their January 2010 high. Please note that the breakout has not been confirmed by all indices, so the risk of a downturn is still not low at this point. This is generally a bullish factor, but caution is necessary in the short run - especially given the high level of similarity between the situation in the gold market in August 2009 and the one that we have today.


  • China's Golden Plans and Silver's Long- and Short-Term Trends

    March 12, 2010, 12:00 PM

    When politicians talk it is always a good idea to try and read between the lines. Therefore, in the first part of this week's Premium Update we comment on the recent gold-related statement made by China's chief foreign exchange regulator, Yi Gang.


  • General Stock Market's Influence on The Price of Gold

    March 10, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In one of our previous essays we mentioned that the situation in the USD Index appears bearish, but it has not been the main driver of the PM prices lately. It's been the general stock market that used to drive gold and silver prices lately, which means that the situation is now less than perfectly bullish, especially in the short term.


  • Gold Stocks' Analysis and its Usefulness For Precious Metals Investors

    March 5, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In our previous essays we have covered the situation on the gold and silver markets, but since there's more to the precious metals sector than just these two metals, we have decided to supplement the previous analysis by covering the precious metals stocks.


  • The Current Situation in the U.S. Dollar and Gold Priced in Other Currencies

    March 3, 2010, 12:00 PM

    We've started our previous essay by describing several interesting facts about the U.S. Dollar. However, since fundamentals are one thing, and the short-term situation is quite a different thing (people, and thus markets that they create tend to act emotionally in the short-term), we decided to also provide you with the analysis of USD charts.


  • What Does Silver's Recent Weak Performance Mean to PM Investors?

    February 26, 2010, 12:00 PM

    This week's free commentary is dedicated to silver. The recent performance of the white metal is far from outstanding - what does it mean for Gold- and Silver Investors? In this essay we provide you with both: long- and short-term charts along with detailed descriptions.


  • Precious Metals Stocks and Their Correlation with the General Stock Market

    February 23, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In the previous essay, we commented on the recent developments in the price of gold. We summarized that the precious metals market has moved higher, and it appears that it will need to take a small breather relatively soon, and this is what we've seen so far this week.


  • Precious Metals' Fake Rally or Beginning of Another Strong Move Up?

    February 19, 2010, 12:00 PM

    In this week's free commentary in addition to covering the technical situation on the gold market, we focus on the IMF announcement about the plans to sell the remaining 191.3 tons of gold. Additionally, we feature one of our unique indicators - the SP Gold Bottom Indicator


  • Gold, Silver, and PM Stocks Bottomed, but Was This Really the Final Bottom?

    February 12, 2010, 12:00 PM

    It was exactly a week ago when precious metals and main stock indices formed a bottom and provided a favorable entry point for all willing to participate in the next move up in the metals. Consequently we've sent out a Market Alert, and our Subscribers were able to get back on the market during Monday's decline (with prices lower than there were at the end of the session on Friday). While it may seem that the worst is behind us, we still believe one needs to keep an eye on the situation in case it turns around in a flash - especially, if the general stock market is to move much lower from here.


  • The Implications of the Recent Change in the Situation on the Silver Market

    February 9, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The situation can and often does change very fast on the precious metals market, and the very recent action provides us with a perfect example of this tendency. Speaking of tendencies, the cyclical tendencies have been very helpful in determining turning points on the silver market, and since we have just reached a "cyclical bottom point" we decided to provide you with additional comments.


  • Is This The Buying Opportunity for The Precious Metals Senior and Junior Stocks?

    February 5, 2010, 12:00 PM

    Gold, silver, and mining stocks have been declining very rapidly in the past several weeks and they have now reached (or are even below) our previous the target areas for this downswing. Is this a buying opportunity, or should precious metals investors take additional new factors into account? In the following essay we would like to provide you with our thoughts on the current situation in the precious metals stocks: both big senior companies (represented by the HUI Index and the GDX ETF) and the small-cap juniors (represented by the TSX Venture Index)


  • Silver Is Poised to Rise in The Long Run, But The Short-term Situation Is Complicated

    February 2, 2010, 12:00 PM

    The long-term situation in the silver market remains positive, but the short-term remains complex. The silver chart alone may imply that higher prices are to be expected from here, but there are also other factors that need to be taken into account.

  • Precious Metals Stocks Appear to Be Bottoming, But Should I Go Long Right Away?

    January 27, 2010, 12:00 PM

    This week's free commentary is based on what we've sent to our Subscribers yesterday in the form of a Market Alert. It (along with the following Premium Update) included comments on many markets, but in this essay we will focus on precious metals stocks.

  • Gold and Silver Plunge, But Was That The Final Part of The Downswing?

    January 21, 2010, 12:00 PM

    This week precious metals moved sharply lower, as suggested in the previous Premium Updates. Consequently, the question is whether or not one should go back in right away, especially given today's volatility. This is one of the things that we deal with in this week's free commentary.
