When the Gold Market Speaks a Thousand Words

Downloadable PDF version of this article

In the last three and a half decades we have encountered both periods of relative stability in the gold price, but also periods of extreme volatility. When President Nixon took the United States off the gold standard in 1971, the result was a 9 year bull market in the price of the golden metal. There were two inflationary waves in the 1970's, the first peaking in 1974-5, and the second more severe wave peaking in the late 1970's and early 1980's. This period was also marked by escalating oil prices, driven by the actions of an Arabian cartel. Eventually, the gold price rose from its fixed price of $35 to its peak of almost $700 per ounce (London pm fix) in 1980.

Bulletin: October 24, 2007 - What Now on Gold?

Downloadable PDF version of this article

Editor's note: please see the current update to this article.

In my article, When Gold Speaks a Thousand Words, published on this website on April 23, 2007, I posited my very positive view on the gold market. I wrote how that view, held by me for some time, had led me to make several gold coin and bullion purchases in the $300's and $400's per ounce in recent years.

Since that time, and especially quite recently, gold has rallied strongly, and has risen past its 2006 high to a present price of approximately $753.99. Oil has also risen in a spectacular fashion into the high $80's per barrel. These support my conclusion in another article I penned for this website, published on February 26, 2007, "Inflation and the Stock Market: Does Anyone Remember the Seventies?," that the gold price, oil and oil service companies stock price booms we have witnessed for the last few years are quite similar to the booms in like instruments last seen during the late 70's. However, that boom in the late seventies and early eighties represented a long term peak in oil prices around $40 - per barrel and the gold price around $850.

Stocks, Gold, Oil, the Dollar, and Inflation: A Potpourri in the Current "Unwinding of Debt" Crisis

Downloadable PDF version of this article

We have seen the gold price peak at over $1,000 per ounce at the time of the Bear Stearns bailout, and decline into a correction afterwards. I have written on my website in previous articles for many months that I was expecting a temporary pause in the upward progress of the gold and oil markets, and in many other inflation hedge style investments.

Why Our Economy Will Not Prosper Until We Have Hard Money and How You Can Profit From It

Downloadable PDF version of this article

What is meant by the terms "real money" or "hard money"? I associate hard money with a gold-backed currency or a consistently well managed paper money standard, both of which can protect the financial system from the many dangers of a fiat, poorly managed paper standard. We know that the main danger of a paper standard is that if too much money is printed, it becomes worth less as the value of the money is inflated away through excess supply.

Why the Gold Bull Market May Begin its Last Leg Sooner Than You Think

Downloadable PDF version of this article

The gold market in February 2009 is trending up towards its all time high of $1,023 per ounce made on March 18, 2008, after a correction that lasted for seven months. The price of gold in this upward trend may reach as high as $3,700. I conceive that this price move may transpire within the next two years.

As bubbles tend to repeat over history, there are a number of markets that can be instructive in determining the dollar amount and duration of a long cycle.

Inflation Hedge Strategies and Thoughts for 2010 and Beyond

See specific inflation hedge strategies

It is widely known that government authorities across the globe are attempting to pump prime their nations' depression-racked economies by printing vast sums of paper money. Some nations, including the United States, are running trillion dollar deficits and will go deeper into debt in future years in order to finance an expansion that may not materialize as planned.

If we reach that point where the pump priming from the Fed and the fiscal excess of the government fail to keep the economic shell game going, the financial markets may lose greater confidence in our dollar (the dollar index is currently at 79.19 on June 1, 2009), Treasury bonds and stock market {Dow Futures at 8688 {(though the stock market may move higher as it has exceeded its 200 day moving average: a widely watched indicator)}.
