Our last article compared Gold today with the stock market in the early 1980s.   Today we draw some comparisons between the Gold market at present and the Gold market at various points in the past.   Gold’s status today fits elements of three past situations.   Gold is on the cusp of a … Continue reading

Although Gold has pulled back and its latest breakout attempt failed, it remains fairly close to the most significant Gold breakout in 50 years and the most significant macro breakout since the S&P 500 broke out in 2013.   However, generalist investors and generalist technicians are more enthusiastic about the recovery in the stock … Continue reading

Bank failures coupled with the anticipation of the Fed pivot pushed Gold to new monthly and quarterly highs, but the breakout move through $2,100/oz has remained elusive.    Multiple failures around $2050/oz and a rebound in the Dollar and bond yields are sending precious metals lower.   Moreover, a small breakout in the stock market … Continue reading

In a short-term and cyclical sense, gold miners and junior gold stocks follow the Gold price. However, beyond the short-term, gold miners follow the “real” price of Gold because it is a better indicator of long-term gold miner profitability than the nominal Gold price.   By the “real” price of Gold, we are talking … Continue reading

Gold is inches away from its biggest breakout in 50 years and the start of a new secular bull market.

Strong … Continue reading

We have been writing about Gold’s super bullish cup and handle pattern and the future breakout for years.    It is coming and with it, a new cyclical and secular bull market.    That aside, I wanted to delve into how and why the Gold price should double within the next two and a half … Continue reading

Gold is on the cusp of a major breakout from its super-bullish cup and handle pattern. The measured upside target is $3000/oz, and the log target is roughly $4000/oz.   These targets may sound extreme, but breakouts from multi-decade bases are rare but very bullish. Furthermore, a breakout from a long-term base to a … Continue reading

Generalist capital always favors Gold first and second before considering miners and Silver.   The gold stocks and Silver have underperformed Gold so badly because Gold has been in a secular bear market since 2011.    Think of the economics … Continue reading
