  • Friday 2:44 PM Central bankers are keeping it low-key for now, writes Saxo Bank's Steen Jakobsen, but they're surely realizing they've fallen behind the curve. China is slowing precipitously, the rest of Asia is suffering from a cutoff in credit as EU banks pull back, and, of course, there's Europe. The central banks aren't going to sit on their hands forever. He's buying GLD, GDX, and HYG.

  • Wednesday 10:13 AM The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) recorded $897M in outflows yesterday, the largest decline since August 2011. Commerzbank wants to see more days of outflows, but says it's surely a negative if even ETF investors are caught up "in the selling pull." More: Central GoldTrust (CTU) now trades at a discount to NAV vs. an average 3.4% premium over the past year.

  • Monday 10:28 AM J.J. Abodeely is "jumping into the abyss" in pursuit of downtrodden gold mining stocks.
