  • Gold falls 1.3% to $1,588, the entirety of the decline coming in the minutes following the jobs report. In a little more than a day since a gold bull's dream - 3 major central banks loosening monetary policy and weak U.S. data giving at least a bit more impetus towards further Fed ease - the metal is off 2.1%. Silver is down 4.6% during the same time frame.  [View news story]
    come'on rummel! gold was at 1900 last august...so I can see where these call are coming from, but its pretty wimpy for you to whine about those call now...

    lets be realistic, nothing moves in a straight line, but some things can really move when the momentum gets behind it, look at natty now at $3 bucks, - so when people see the gold play again it will come back in full force....

    good point. gold and silver have been on the downtrend for the last 6 months, those are the facts - yet, at some point it hits bottom and the investing story changes...

    easy for you to talk a historical chart, - tell me where it goes in the future requires you to take a side...

    we think that gold selling off when equities do can be an opportunity, as the moment gold gets its safe-haven status back the script is flipped....

    dave is correct. - I really think as bad as everything looks right now, this could be a HUGE month for gold and silver, it is just a perfect mix of events/factors....

    does everyone remember looking at charts and saying wow what happen that month where this-or-that skyrocketed, well we think it will be that kind of month for the PM's

    the net is more down on foreign currencies than the up on dollar, this bodes well for gold and silver

    remember more gold and silver is traded in foreign currencies, so when you look at the net (foreign down to dollar up) the foreign is down more, making gold/silver more expensive

  • This Week's Silver Outlook [View article]
    Wayneseek, a friend who I talk shop with was down on his SLV and he came to the conlcusion that it would be better to take the losses and re-enter the SLV after it takes its next leg down...so I would not bet on the diversification tactic stopping you from incurring more losses...

  • S&P 500 gives up small gains, now -0.4% following the big ISM miss. It's the first print under 50 since July 2009. The sharp decline in New Orders (to 47.8 from 60.1) looks to be behind the big move. "Slowing world economies, particularly China, are reducing Q3 and later orders and drastically dropping some raw materials prices," goes a sample respondent quote.  [View news story]
    The new orders going from 60.1 to 47.8 is extremely concerning. If we had to look at this from a 'knock-on' effect we would say that China is getting hit by the Europe recessions, and this causes less feel good in their real estate, whereas the U.S. is dealing with a bank balance sheet weakness from unknown risks on loans that are not being marked to market, coupled with higher taxes in the u.S. and less gov speninding coming next year, then Europe is in a nightmare which we export to so the negative swirl is continue but now it is so much worse.

    We can only see things getting worse...thus, if you see the industrials hitting lows or heading down we see the % factors for lower lows, as we don't see a driver for upside in economic expansion. some great charts to look at are oil, gold, silver, which have a lower trajectory over the last few months.
