I think you are overestimating the power of SA articles or the effect thereof on grown ups. Besides, the manipulators around here and their efforts are so obvious that I don't think anyone would fall for them. In fact, I see more manipulation attempts coming through "comments" than through articles.
As for the author (Thangavel) he simply has a poor call record on PMs here on SA.
Fed Policy Meeting Minutes And A Gold Correction [View article]
To me the most meaningful charts are the ones for the period 2011-12. Why? Because it was during that period that :
- the continuity and/or the effects of the QE were being questioned; - inflation was communicated as being low; - Indian gold market was declared weak; - W.Buffet's take on gold was more frequently cited than his take on his own company; - "the end of the gold bull run" had been declared almost every week; and, - gold was not an edible material.
Yet gold had yet another positive year in 2012.
Now that we are in the year 2013 and I am hearing / reading here on Seeking Alpha the same "QE, low inflation, W.Buffet, India, the gold bull run's end, can't eat it" talk, I find the charts of the 2011-2012 quite telling.
Discl.: I own physical gold and silver, and equities in certain miners and streamers / royalty players.

I tend to agree with you, stu silver.
I have an "in case" buy order in place at 705 Eur/kg (Friday's close was 745), but I think that we may see the beginning of the UP move in silver as early as this coming week.
Taking mid-December prices as reference point (i.e., "week-0") and January's 1st week as "week-3", silver is now (up 1.5% from the start) exactly where it has been in January 2012 (1.7% up). This coming week had seen a double in January 2012, climbing to 4.4% (and then to 9% and 14.8% in the other two weeks of January 2012, respectively)..... shows the homemade mumbo jumbo graph with coffee stains on it pinned on the wall behind my PC screen.

I'm (I have been) a long-term investor in gold, and not so long (but not too recent either) in silver. All that hourly, daily, weekly cacophony and propaganda apart, there are certain yearly patterns that gold and silver have been following. If those patterns are to repeat, then my recent purchases in 12/2012 and the planned one (awaiting pullback) in 01/2013 may be as profitable as the ones this time one year ago.
Thanks for the info. I am heavily invested in silver (and gold, and some miners and streamers) at an attractive cost base, with additional "buy" order for silver placed at 4% below today's market price in Europe. Like you, I, too, believe that we will have handsome gains in 2013.
No, Macro. People listen to facts but they aren't listening to YOU.
If you want people to listen to you for THEIR investment decisions with THEIR money, then, to begin with :
- write with a real name;
- clarify it here whether you are really invested in silver like you said in one post, or not invested in silver (like you said in another post);
- stop sounding like a high school drama queen with your: "Should I short gold? Should I not? Gold won't go up, but what if it does if I short it?" nonsense.
p.s.: Here's a 0.05$ check for you for the next 5 mouse clicks that you will not be getting from me. I am out of here.
