These charts suggest a major currency crisis could be underway Posted: 28 Jan 2013 01:13 PM PST From Gold Scents:   As many of you who have read my work in the past know, I expect this whole Keynesian monetary experiment that has been going on since World War II to finally terminate in a global currency crisis. I'm starting to wonder if we aren't seeing the first domino start to topple.   I'm talking about the Japanese Yen...   I think everyone assumes that the Yen is dropping in response to Prime Minister Abe's intent to imitate U.S. policy and print its way out of its troubles.   The problem with this strategy is eventually Japan will break its currency. Japan is in a particularly tenuous situation in that their debt to GDP dwarfs most of the rest of the world. The only hope they have of servicing this debt is for interest rates to stay basically at zero.   Any move by interest rates above this artificially low level and Japan's debt becomes unserviceable, without resorting to a greater and greater debasement of the currency. Unfortunately, that will also result in...   Read full article...   More on Japan:   Why the Japanese government is taking dramatic new action   This unusual Japanese boom could be a big warning for the U.S.   Surprising development in Japan could have a huge impact on the silver market

This could be the hidden reason behind the turmoil in gold stocks Posted: 28 Jan 2013 01:13 PM PST From Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst, Casey Research:   Common sense dictates that when you need information or advice on something you're unfamiliar with, you consult with a professional. That's what people do, whether refinancing a home, choosing an insurance product, or fixing a broken heater. While professionals certainly have their own agendas, they still know more about their products or services than others, and can at least help them make more informed decisions.   Bank and brokerage analysts know their products, too. But when it comes to helping you make an informed decision about where the gold market is headed, they have, as Rick Rule is fond of saying, a record unblemished by success.   Every year major banks and brokerage houses provide their four-year forecasts for the gold price. The following chart documents the average price projection of 25 top analysts over the past seven years, many of whom specialize in the resource industry. I might suggest pushing away from your desk so that when your jaw drops it doesn't hit the keyboard...   Read full article...   More on gold stocks:   How to speculate in gold and silver stocks without massive risk Doc Eifrig: The two things your broker doesn't know about silver Casey Research: Four facts you must know before speculating in junior resource stocks

‘…Impossible to conceive of a more bullish long-term backdrop for gold'—Coxe Posted: 28 Jan 2013 12:13 PM PST As global commodities strategist Don Coxe ends his "Basic Points" series, he remains now and for the long term bullish about gold, particularly gold equities.

Clear Direction On Yen Decline Posted: 28 Jan 2013 11:11 AM PST By Joe Gelet: The Japanese Yen (FXY) has been on a decline since the new government led by Shinzo Abe has been pursuing a policy of currency debasement to boost their economy. The USD/JPY daily chart shows resistance at the 90 level, which it passed last week: This level has not been seen since 2010. The significance of this chart shows that although the Yen continually meets resistance, the trend is steady down. The decline continues even though publicly, Japanese officials have downplayed this new policy: Economy Minister Akira Amari denied Japan's new government is actively targeting a weaker yen, taking to the international stage to argue that economic policy is instead aimed at defeating deflation. Yen Rise period (click to enlarge) From 2006 to 2011, the Yen was on a general rise against most other currencies, including the US Dollar (shown above).

All The World's Gold Posted: 28 Jan 2013 10:52 AM PST By Stephen Aniston: "There is never enough gold to redeem all the currency in circulation" - John Buchanan Robinson The recent request by the Bundesbank to repatriate their gold reserves held in foreign central bank vaults has brought gold (GLD) back into the minds of the investing public and there has been a lot of speculation lately as to whether gold is on the verge of an upside breakout. With it come all kinds of predictions and prognostications and I think the discussion has digressed without a meaningful framework. In this article I am going to try to put some facts around the gold discussion and create a framework on which you can base your gold pricing models. One of the most popular arguments for the spike in the price of gold that has occurred since 2005 is The Fed easy monetary policy. The tripling of The Fed balance sheet since 2008 Complete Story »

Japanese Yen: Lower Short Term, But Higher Longer Term Posted: 28 Jan 2013 10:48 AM PST By Angelo Airaghi: Japan is in a recession, and the Japanese yen lost 15% from the highs against the U.S. dollar. The decline should continue this year as well. The potential target could be 104 in the futures prices. However, the longer-term picture supports a new rise of the Japanese yen. The Chinese economy has probably bottomed. Bad relations with China hurting business The decline of the yen boosted profit margins, which rose more than 2.0%. Nonetheless, the balance of trade is in the red at -801 billion. Japanese export volumes declined 0.4% in December after having increased 0.2% in November. Overall, they fell more than 5% in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared with the previous quarter. World economic activity is trending again, but Japanese activity is nonetheless contracting. Why? Japan is massively importing fossil fuels, since all but two Japanese nuclear power stations have been closed following the nuclear problems in Complete Story »

GATA closing in on secrets behind gold cartel?

The Silver Bullets Of The North American Energy Transport Infrastructure (Part I) Posted: 28 Jan 2013 10:23 AM PST ByValue Digger: I follow closely all the energy-related companies of the US and Canadian market and I have noticed an increasing number of pipeline investments during the last months. Although these projects are crucial for our stock-picking strategy, most investors have not put all of them in one map because they are not aware of them. It also does not help the fact that these projects are being constructed by different companies. Eventually, the investors can not realize the upcoming transformation of the US pipeline network at its full extent. This is why I decided to write an all-in article incorporating the major pipeline investments which are going to transform North America's energy landscape effective 2013. I believe that I will help the investors get the full picture and position themselves in the energy industry accordingly. It has to be pointed out that these investments have multiple positive effects on the economies Complete Story »

The 2013 Economic Reality-Check Posted: 28 Jan 2013 10:07 AM PST It has become an exhausting process attempting to translate back into the real world all of the fantasy-numbers passed off on us as "economic statistics". It's even more exhausting trying to unravel the Machiavellian nonsense dubbed "analysis" – and then trace back a path to sanity. So rather than making a (futile) effort to rebut all of this vacuous propaganda in isolation, this article is an attempt to provide a (necessarily abbreviated) summation of the economic fantasy-world presented to us by the mainstream media. As always, the best place to start in exposing this statistical mythology is the U.S. housing market, since that's where the propaganda machine provides us with the best laughs. Ever since the collapse of the U.S. housing market in 2007; every two or three months the mainstream media has proclaimed that the U.S. housing market is "starting to recover." With the U.S. housing market (supposedly) experiencing roughly its 20th "recovery" over the past five years; this time the mainstream media assures us they're serious. Let's take a look at what the charts say. As readers can clearly see, this chart shows new home starts "rising" to a level equal to the worst previous housing recessions in recorded U.S. history. To refer to this as a "recovery" is just plain silly. However, what makes this chart even more absurd is that most of these "housing starts" don't even exist. We can establish this with certainty by looking at two more U.S. housing charts:

Don’t Let the Cartel Get the Best of You Posted: 28 Jan 2013 09:50 AM PST Tweet READ THE FULL NEWSLETTER Larry Edelson says, "I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that silver is topping right now."  He is convinced silver is going to fall to $23.  All I can say is – who ya gonna believe?  Edelson or Sinclair?  Edelson is selling you a subscription newsletter and trying to get you to use his expertise to trade the market.  Sinclair, who owns a gold mine in Tanzania, is selling you nothing – he says buy physicals, hold tight and don't let the criminals scare you out of your positions.  Edelson is no better than the crooks on Wall Street who manipulate the price of gold and silver to pick YOUR pocket.  He is worse, he is playing on their manipulation to scare you into paying HIM for his advice.  Despicable! Do compare Sinclair's comments to Edelson's and see which commentary makes more sense. The 'Why" Of Gold At And Above $3500 January 26, 2013, at 9:58 pm by Jim Sinclair My Dear Extended Family, Think of the value of the gold reserves of the euro with their gold marked to market by the ECB. Think of the percentage then that their gold reserves would be as a percentage of fiat currency held in reserve. Think then of the primary market in gold by default moving into the cash market as the criminal paper gold market is disgraced via delivery failures. In my early life both my wife and I were Comex members. Who else commenting about gold has that real time experience of how you play markets? Who commenting out there would have the slightest idea of how one goes about making a cash market in gold as was made with Sinclair Global Arbitrage. The dollar and the euro have been at war since the day the euro rose above par to the dollar. Now look at the euro chart in terms of dollars. View the transition of the euro to a bull market and the transition of the modest recovery in the dollar re-entering into a decade long major bear market. This is the foundation set in steel that will launch the next major bull phase in the gold price very soon. When you look back at this multi-month gold market operation you will know what it was all about. Gold mining is a terrific business, truth be known, now being condemned by all the merchants of bullion in the gold community. Who needs enemies when you have such friends right within the community? Bullion is clearly a risk only to price but condemning gold shares is total nonsense utilized by PM scoundrels to market other gold products. Continue reading on jsmineset.com In Jim Sinclair's article, above, he discusses how people who sell physical metals do their best to steer people away from mining shares.  Andy Hoffman has been vehemently against owning the shares since the day he came to work at Miles Franklin – not because he has an agenda to sell physicals but because his own personal decade-long career in that sector taught him that people who invested in the shares and held on, lost a great deal of their investments. Yes, mining shares were great for half a dozen years, and I made a lot of money with them myself, but since 2008 they have been a disaster.  My belief and that of Bill Holter is that at some point, as gold and silver begin to really rise, the shares will be a terrific investment.  Hoffman would agree on that point as well – but he feels the timing is NOT now.  The Vancouver article that Andy sent me exemplifies why he feels the way he does.   He acknowledges that miners will go up when the cartel is broken, but only if not caused by a horrible event that causes governments to immediately take draconian actions…  And it is not, as Sinclair suggests, to feather Miles Franklin's nest.

The Truth About Gold Price Predictions & Market Forecasts Posted: 28 Jan 2013 08:06 AM PST How many times have you  been influenced by a price prediction? Most of us have been, undoubtedly. At the beginning of each new year, it is a tradition to forecast the price of gold or silver. So the timing is perfect to tell the truth about these predictions, no matter from who they are (guru, expert or average analyst). The truth about forecasts and predictions is what this article is about. Listening to it can save you (a lot of) money in the future. In an recent article, one of the contributors of this site made a very valid point by stating that "It does not matter what others say about the market. What matters is what the market says about others." The quality of forecasts related to the gold price is visualized in the following chart, by Casey Research. It shows the average of the gold price predictions since 2007. As usual, analysts tend to forecast for a longer period of time, which is what the chart shows as well. The gold price forecasts have proven to be badly wrong. The 2008 and 2009 forecasts predicted a gold price below $1,000 for today. When it comes to helping you make an informed decision about where the gold market is headed, bank and brokerage analysts have, as Rick Rule is fond of saying, a record unblemished by success. Every year major banks and brokerage houses provide their four-year forecasts for the gold price. The following chart documents the average price projection of 25 top analysts over the past seven years, many of whom specialize in the resource industry. I might suggest pushing away from your desk so that when your jaw drops it doesn't hit the keyboard. It appears from a new research (outside the precious metals sector) that  market predictions have only been accurate in 48 percent of the time. Researcher CXO Advisory Group has been collecting data from forecasters since 1998. The company has tracked and analyzed thousands of forecasts from dozens of popular gurus. The same result was confirmed by Inalytics earlier. They reported that fund managers only get around 50pc of their decisions right. Rick Ferri writes: Forecasting isn't about predicting the market; it's about marketing the prediction. As one newsletter guru told me years ago, "Given a choice between great marketing and great forecasting, I'd pick great marketing every time." We asked Konstantinos Xeroudakis, precious metals strategist, for his opinion and experience in this matter. He confirmed the above data and revealed the following key to investing success: The real secret lies in how to anticipate your losses and keep them as small as possible in order to maxmize your profits. Risk control must be part of every kind of investment hypothesis. The three important questions everyone should ask himself before spending any euro or dollar: (1) What is my time stop? (2) At what price will I be proven wrong and should I get out of my position? (3) Can I handle that loss or should I lower my position size? No analyst or guru out there will bring this message along with his / her predictions. A good example of a public forecast is in Global Gold's 2013 outlook report, in which the author worked with probabilities for future scenario's.

The harder they push… Posted: 28 Jan 2013 07:29 AM PST Tweet …the worse things must really be.  Let me explain.  We have lived through a 30++ year credit bubble of which has already popped.  With a gaping hole in the side of it, TPTB decided that they would "patch" the existing balloon bubble rather than replace the balloon entirely with a better and more stable material (money).  They patched and they patched and have blown unlimited amounts of "air" (fresh credit and currency) in an effort to keep the system afloat. All the while, "markets" have by necessity been rigged.  Stocks, interest rates, commodities, everything… and the financial and economic reports also by necessity have been falsified to fall in line with fantasy like asset values.  Which brings us to today where the Gold and Silver prices have been locked in a box and mauled for the last 2 months.  Since 1995 or even earlier (at least since the 1960′s) the prices of Gold and Silver have been manipulated downward, but, NEVER for such an extended period of time OR with as much force as has been applied during the current operation. This should tell you something!  Why?  Why now?  What has changed that absolutely no "freedom" of price has been allowed?  Let me count the ways!  First, Germany surely did not all of a sudden wake up one morning thinking… "Let's repatriate our Gold."  No, they had behind the scenes discussions with the Fed which probably lasted for many months before they announced.  Then of course the U.S. has the debt ceiling, sequestration and fiscal cliff fiascoes to deal with, they have been "kicked" but this cannot go on to eternity.  Also, and interesting from a timing standpoint the worlds' oldest bank had a major derivative hiccup last week which may just be the tip to an iceberg valued over $1 quadrillion. My point?  I believe that "things" must really be bad and FAR worse behind the financial scenes than we see or are being told.  The falsehoods and reporting lies and the amounts of manipulations have reached new highs just as any "liar" must lie more and the lies get bigger to cover the original "white lie."  It just seems to me that we must be very close to something of epic proportions breaking loose.  There are too many inconsistencies with what we are being told versus what is readily "seea-ble" and discernible using your own common sense.  Please keep in mind that we know for a fact that many (including the U.S.) sovereign nations, their treasuries and central banks are in financial dire straits, yet many who own Gold related assets are "scared."  Why? The answer is exactly the same as to "why" has the full court press been put on with regards to bogus reporting and perfect market action.  Trust me, this whole thing will blow up, "those in charge" know this as well as you and I do.  Their efforts to hide the truth have become 24/7, all day every day because reality and the managed "perception" have never been further apart.  All of that said, you mustn't lose sight of the very reasons you decided to own precious metals in the first place.  You were either fearful of out of control inflation or deflation, you were scared that your currency would be debased out from under you or you were afraid of the entire system coming down.  If you bought Gold and Silver because they seemed like a "cool" investment that was doing "good," please sell it all and go away.  If you own the metals because of the above, relax!  It is now more obvious than at any other point in time how this will play out.  You were right and will be proven so when all is said and done! …but the problem is…"they" are telling you and "showing" you that you are not right.  This is the only tool left when it comes to the metals; short the hell out of it!  Do it with paper.  Do it with any Gold you can get your hands on!  Do you wonder why COMEX open interest numbers have not collapsed this time around?  Because the amount of shorting has been relentless and the longs have not run for the hills as in the past.  I don't even understand why anyone would "stand long" on the COMEX because even the exchange itself reports that if all the contracts stood for delivery, the majority would go unfilled!  A really stupid game where "the price" is determined and used to scare the hell out of you. Please do some reflecting as to "why" you own metals in the first place and then understand "why" the push to show you that you're wrong has never been stronger than it is now.  Your fear is their only tool, don't be their "tool!"

Energy Stocks & Oil Special Trend Analysis Report Posted: 28 Jan 2013 06:17 AM PST Crude oil has been trading ways for the past year between the 2011 high and low. The trading range through 2012 has been contracting with a series of lower highs and higher lows. This pennant formation because it is taking place after an uptrend is a bullish pattern with $110 and possibly even $140+ per barrel in the next 6-18 months. If you look at the weekly investing chart of crude oil the key support and resistance levels area clearly marked. A breakout of the white pennant will trigger a move to the next support or resistance level. And judging from the positive economic numbers not only form the USA but globally the odds are increased for the $110+ price target to be reached sooner than later. Crude Oil Price Chart – Weekly Investing Crude Oil Price Chart – Daily short term Analysis & Target If we zoom into the daily chart and analyze price and volume you will notice the $100 per barrel level is potentially only 2-3 days way… But keep in mind whole numbers (decade & Century Numbers) naturally act as support and resistance levels. So when the $100 century price is reached there will be a wave of sellers with fat thumbs who will slam the price back down to the $96 and possibly back down to the $92 level before oil continues higher. Utility Stocks – XLU – Weekly Investing Chart The utility sector has done well and continues to look very bullish for 2013. This high dividend paying sector is liked by many and the price action speaks for its self… Keep in mind you can view my actual watchlist of stock and ETFs I trade in real-time with my analysis free: https://stockcharts.com/public/1992897 Energy Sector Weekly Investing Chart Energy stocks which can be followed using the XLE exchange traded fund (ETF) typically leads the price of oil. Looking at energy stocks we can see that they are outperforming the price of crude oil and on the verge of breaking out of a large Cup & Handle pattern. If so then $90 is the next stop but prices may go much higher in the long run. Energy Stocks and Crude Oil Conclusion: In short, crude oil is stuck in a large trading range much like gold and silver which I just wrote about here: http://www.thegoldandoilguy.com/articles/precious-metals-miners-making-waves-and-new-trends/ Once a breakout takes place on either the white or yellow lines on the first crude oil weekly chart we should see oil, energy and utility stocks start making some big moves. Depending on the direction of the breakout (Up or Down) it must be played in that direction to generate substantial profits obviously.
