… Investors should continue to hold gold for long-term investment. We have been bullish on gold since June 25, 2002 when it was selling at about $325 per ounce. In our opinion, it will move to $1,500 and then higher. Traders should sell spikes and buy dips. Gold closed today at $1,382.60 an ounce, an increase of 325% in almost 8 ½ years. …
The contact out of London has updated King World News on the massive Asian buyers which have been accumulating both gold and silver.

People have to remember these Asian buyers are now controlling the gold and silver markets, it is not the little guy.” …

We have some short term technical damage done to the gold chart but the primary long term uptrend remains intact. Traders with a short term perspective will act accordingly while longer term oriented investors will also take note and look to establish positions in the direction of the primary trend.
Weil immer mehr Anleger dem Papiergeld nicht mehr trauen und Gold kaufen, steigt dessen Preis unaufhaltsam. Die Deutsche Bundesbank hat angeblich den zweitgrößten Goldbestand der Welt und könnte sich eigentlich über die permanente Wertsteigerung freuen. Doch in Wahrheit hat sie wohl tatsächlich nur noch auf 80 Tonnen Gold Zugriff.
Back in September (with silver at $21/oz) I wrote a piece titled “Does Silver’s Smooth Ride Lead Past $30?” My answer to that question at the time was “yes”, with a prediction that silver would make a short-term “top” somewhere between $30 – $35/oz.
Thanks to a rude interruption when the banker-cabal launched one of their of the silver market, that “smooth ride” was somewhat abbreviated early in November. Under different circumstances, I might wonder whether that man-made pause in the market was enough of a consolidation to prepare silver for yet another leg higher. Given current circumstances, however, there appears to be no doubts about silver’s current status.

We saw the trend reversal today that I was expecting, as silver in particular was getting rather overextended based on the uptrend it has been following. I do not think this was anything more than profit-taking and a bit of a romp by the perma-bears who were licking their wounds and came back in for another go at the bulls.
Der langsame Zerfall der EU geht weiter: Die Ratingagentur Moody’s senkte heute die Kreditwürdigkeit von Ungarns Staatsanleihen auf knapp über den Ramschstatus.
Silver was the star of the precious metals complex today as it shot higher in the face of a stronger Dollar and a mixed performance by the overall commodity sector. Its strength helped to pull gold higher particularly when it cleared $30 for the first time since many moons ago.

For years we have heard of the coming silver shortage but somehow price was always contained and was a wild swinging commodity. But that changed last spring when allegations of silver manipulation made it to mainstream internet sites and became a focal point of testimony by Bill Murphy of GATA to the CFTC in early spring.
Since last August the silver market has been on a tear to the upside and the physical market is now again facing reported shortages. The demand for coin is at its highest levels in 25 years as reported by coin dealers. …

… the fact that it was able to push through round number psychological resistance at $1400 on its third try this week is friendly to the bullish cause as it sets up a test above the $1420 level of the all time high. If that gives way, gold then targets $1440.
Silver is in its own world right now and is very strong on the charts but I want to see a good, solid close above $29.50 to set it up for a push towards $30.
With gold and silver consolidating recent gains, King World News interviewed James Turk out of Spain. When asked about the action in both gold and silver Turk stated, “We should see a very big up-move in both gold and silver shortly. There is no question that the highs will be taken out on both metals, it is now just a question of when. I view the pullback off the highs of today as meaningless noise.”
“We are on the verge of seeing a potential massive squeeze in the gold market. We witnessed this last month, and it appears to be rehearsing for the same play this month.

During November 2010, the United States Mint recorded sales of 4,260,000 American Silver Eagle bullion coins. This is significant since it represents the highest monthly sales total in the history of the program.
With the price of silver up more than 65% for the year to date, investment interest in „poor man’s gold“ has been on the increase. This has had a big impact on silver bullion sales by world mints, as many prefer to invest in physical precious metals than exchange traded funds or other options.
The previous record for monthly Silver Eagle sales dates back to December 1986 …
China seems to be encouraging gold and silver ownership amongst its people as a matter of policy, the better to cushion them against a bubble and collapse. This is also a means of diversifying their reserves without engaging the US and the fiat countries directly through more official actions with their banking reserves.
Hong Kong goldsmiths have been sold hundreds of ounces of fake gold this year in one of the most sophisticated scams to hit the Chinese territory’s gold market in decades.
Industry executives say the scam — while not massive and hitting only the retail sector — uncloaks the increasingly elaborate gold swindles perpetrated by criminals in Asia as bullion prices soar to record highs of $1,400 a troy ounce.
The counterfeits have shocked Hong Kong’s gold community not because of the amount involved but because of their sophistication.
China’s gold imports jumped almost fivefold in the first 10 months from the entire amount shipped in last year as concern about rising inflation increased its appeal as a store of value, said the Shanghai Gold Exchange.

„…Speck shows that the gold sold by central banks since 2001 was equaled by the leased gold returned to them. This strongly supports suspicions long expressed by GATA and others that the supposed central bank gold sales of the last decade were just cash settlements for leased gold that could not be recovered by the central banks without exploding the gold price upward and bankrupting the investment banks that had leased the gold, and that the „sales“ were not really putting any metal into the market, a suspicion supported by the steady rise of the gold price even as all that central bank gold supposedly was being sold….”

One of the more interesting things that happened recently was the decoupling of gold and silver bullion from the equity market and the US dollar.
This is most likely an example of the primary trend reasserting itself after a short term period of artificial price manipulation for option expiration and the first week of the important December delivery at the Comex.
Another way of saying this is that in the short term markets often trade on ‚technical factors,‘ that is, one group of market players may take an overweight position, as we saw this week in the put-call ratio in stocks. So today we had a sharp short covering rally.
