I have written about this for almost a decade now.    But it’s even more pressing now that perhaps Gold has run as far as it can outside a secular bull market. It is trading very close to very significant resistance.    It isn’t easy to envision a huge move higher in the precious metals … Continue reading

With Gold approaching the door of a major breakout, I want to focus on the gold and silver stocks and stock selection.   The miners and juniors have disappointed investors because Gold has performed well in recent years but has not increased enough relative to costs. Outside of Gold, the precious metals sector remains in … Continue reading

There may be no better time to take stock of Gold and Silver technicals after a weekly, monthly, and quarterly close on the same day.   Precious Metals have been correcting for nearly two months and have struggled as capital has flowed out of bonds and into equities. That means a tighter Fed and … Continue reading

I have written about the importance of a bear market, recession, and Fed shift for a Gold bull market.

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
