Inflation, Gold, and an early spring roundup featuring Goldseek (GSK.C), Teuton (TUO.V), Forum (FMC.V), and Cartier (ECR.V)

Inflation is every investor’s concern right now. It’s on everyone’s radar. Spiraling price pressure doesn’t just represent a loss in purchasing power; it’s a precursor to a lower standard of living (if wages don’t rise commensurate with the spiral). All eyes will be on the CPI numbers set for release this Tuesday (April 12). Analyst estimates […]

In early October, there was evidence that an important bottom was forming in the precious metals arena. The following excerpts are from a (timely) article I put up on the Equity Guru website on October 4th—Unabated selling, dry powder, the upside of buying when you’re the only bidder in the room… (click on the following […]

After testing the $1800 level earlier this week, gold backed off, rounding out the week essentially flat. But the setup here looks compelling. Since a double bottom that bookended the month of March (chart below), the metal is grinding out a series of higher lows- higher highs. Having tested and broken out above the 50 […]

Gold was dealt What For last week, taking out major support, trading at levels not seen in over eight months.

Everything in the junior exploration arena, with few exceptions, has taken it on the chin in recent weeks. High-quality gold and silver stocks have been tossed with little regard for their underlying fundamental value.
