    The Disconnect Between Supply and Demand in Gold and Silver Markets, Part II [view article]
    Ahh, yes, the Bank of England sale, that must go down as one of the worst timed sales ever. And why auction it off instead of feeding it slowly into the market like every other central bank.

    As I said, I don't doubt there is a shift in retail demand, but at this time don't see them as big enough to make a difference on the wholesale market. 2mo = 62t which is 2.5% of 2500t mine supply.

    I may be wrong, but I think the WGC's "investment gold sales" is not just retail but includes institutional and ETFs? I await the 3Q figures with interest.

    "Why would anyone buy gold when the dollar is heading up? Also why are some advisers so slow to see that there has been a change?"

    Perhaps 'some advisers' have determined that your 'change' - in dollar fortunes - does not appear to have any basis whatsoever in fundamentals, and therefore does not, in fact, represent a lasting change at all, but a transient rally to be followed by a crash.

    Or did the US government suddenly do a 180 and become the very model of fiscal responsibility when I wasn't looking?? Fat chance.

    In 1868 a silver dollar did not weigh a troy oz,nor was Wall Street equiped with all sorts of electonic black boxes to crap on anyone in the way when they are knee deep in worthless paper,so they attact the Silver & Gold markets! Now if you had that exact 1868 Silver Dollar in new like condition,you could buy a lot more than all you said,that coin could bring in the Millions to the right person!
    That just shows you,the Worlds money was taken over long ago,if you are a part of that bunch born to that family,you carried on the same creepy crimes as of your elders,lies,cheat & control the money supply!But sooner or later,a fight breaks out in families of where such Greed is breed into them from the cratel!

    Coffee and wheat look the best for a run to the Upside.

    Oil needs more sideways as does NG. The Big Kahuna is Hurricane Gustav which appears to be making a Bee Line directly for the Middle of the Gulf.

    Doesn't matter what the charts of either Oil or NG look like. Currently Gustav is projected to be a Cat. 3 when it enters, if it enters the Gulf.

    You have the cart before the horse. Commodities follow the dollar not the other way around. Reply

    I am curious about these geniuses, who had gold, but sold it and bought the "strong dollar" and so forth. I don't go around posting on investments that I have no interest in, yet you seem compelled to do so. Why?

    Does anyone here believe Shark has a Rolex?

    If all the financial news wasn't bad enough, there is hurricane Gustav over Haiti about now. Its future destination isn't clear at this time. By Wednesday we should know if it will threaten oil in the Gulf. If so, that would likely push oil up, which would likely push the equities markets down in the current environment. Reply

    Just like to add something simple. EVERY asset will yield a profit if bought at it or near its 52 week low.the trick is knowing where that is. Reply

    Why do you not consider coal to be a commodity? Coal's rise in price has been the predominant reason that natural gas has gone down since it has been effectively displacing natural gas in utility use. Reply

    Generally speaking, it is a worth reading article. The author did good work to analyze the market. As to time the market, nobody can do it perfectly. I would wait for the precious metal market bottomed and gets some type of rally. Otherwise it is still dangerous place! Reply

    Markets often are illogic. The Dollar sits in a correction. Even if it stays strong for more weeks or months, there is absolutely NO REASON why Gold cannot go up at the same time. As a matter of fact, this occured on several occasions during the previous secular bull market. Reply
