Gold has climbed higher as expected. Both precious metals now look ready to make new multi-month highs, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the gold cartel is pulling out all the stops to try keeping gold from climbing above $1,000.

June 8, 2009 – We can now see with the benefit of hindsight how important support was in the 68-69 area for the gold/silver ratio. When this support level finally gave way, the ratio sliced right through it and continued to tumble lower, with silver outperforming gold. This outperformance is important. It means that moneyRead more

June 8, 2009 – My comments are the same as the last letter. With each passing day, December’s top in prices (i.e., low in yields) looks more and more certain. I don’t recommend that traders chase the T-note lower. I do not though have any specific recommendations at the moment as to when to enterRead more

This past Tuesday the Dollar Index made a closing low of 78.40, which was a whopping -6.6% drop from our short sale price in only twenty trading days. The dollar literally collapsed, so it is not surprising that the dollar finally bounced somewhat toward the end of the week.

May 25, 2009 – Our patience is finally being rewarded. The precious metals are on the move, and higher prices are likely in the weeks ahead. While for months there has been every reason to be bullish about the prospects for both precious metals from both a short-term and a long-term point of view, weRead more

May 25, 2009 – I would like to get short again, but the T-note did not bounce up to the level I was looking for. It was a sign of weakness, and we have now seen that weakness play out as T-note prices have collapsed. It would not be unreasonable to sell short here, butRead more
