StrengthsThe best performing metal this week was palladium, up 11.52 percent as precious metals had a stellar week. Gold hit a seven-year high this week, holding above $1,600 an ounce to the highest since February 2013 largely on coronavirus fears.

Shares got hit across-the-board on Thursday and Friday, and if investors know what's good for them they'll pound the bejeezus out of them this week. A...Read More
Gold April reached a high of $1684.10 early morning (at New Zealand open). Silver march reached at high of $1879.50. Copper march fell to a low of $256.50. Crude oil fell to a low of $51.66. Early morning high (just after New Zealand open) can be fake or just stop loss hitting price moves. No doubt the trend for gold and silver is bullish.

QUESTION: Hi MartyI hear what you are saying about the next gen and Gold vs BTC. To me it begs the question as to how the Next Gen’s look at crypto’s. Is there an argument that they like BTC etc because it is anonymous [mostly] and not part of the ‘system’. If that is the case, what will they think when Govs adopt sovereign crypto’s and outlaw BTC.

QUESTION: My reading of the gold was that for the slingshot up to dramatic new highs it needed the fakeout bear trap just below the 1000 mark. Since it took out your 1,362.50 number and the yearly bullish reversal at the end of 2019, does that mean the slingshot is now dead? Do you think the shift to millennials and how they rush into Bernie’s arms means that gold is losing its luster for...Read More

Gary Tanashian, NFTRH[edit] I neglected to include an important one from a different vantage point, the Silver/Gold ratio. So let's tuck it in right here at the top of the post. While there are other utilities for this indicator, a decline is surely in keeping with the deflationary hints of the charts that follow and if silver gets out of hand vs. gold to the upside one day it would be an infl...Read More
