G0ldfinger Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 http://gold.approxim...old_charts.html Chart of the month (January 2013) They say history does not repeat, but it rhymes sometimes. If, for the purpose of this little column, we assumed that gold price history rhymes from time to time, we would possibly first note, that ever since gold assumed its multi-decade low in 1999 (the infamous Brown Bottom) and then, a year or two later, started its rise in a now more than a decade long bull market, there have been five prominent price spikes: on 2001-05-21 with $288.35, on 2003-02-05 with $385.00, on 2006-05-12 with $725.75, on 2008-03-17 with $1,023.50, and on 2011-09-05 with $1,896.50 (prices are LBM AM Fixings). If we number these price spikes from 1 to 5, we can see that 1 and 2, respectively 3 and 4, are closer to each other. Expressed differently, they seem to come in pairs. Further more, the rise within the pairs (1 to 2 and 3 to 4) was 34% and 41%, while from one pair to the next (2 to 3 and 4 to 5), if we assume that the most recent fifth spike belongs to a pair as well, it was 89% and 85%. If we take the middle of these respective moves, and also extrapolate the times between them into the future, we could try and guess what a sixth (second spike in a third pair) and a seventh price spike (first spike in a fourth pair) could look like (see also chart below). Our guess would be 2013-06-24 with $2,603.37 (spike 6) and 2015-01-29 with $4,865.73 (spike 7). So, should you be surprised if you would see a $1,000 move in gold in the first half of 2013? We think you shouldn't. Best wishes for 2013 from the Approximity Gold Team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Gold set for 6th weekly drop - worst run since 2004 http://www.businessw...nd-of-purchases Gold tumbled, poised for the longest run of weekly losses since 2004, as Federal Reserve policy makers said that they’ll probably end asset purchases this year and investors cut holdings by the most since May.

wee Jinky Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Don't panic don't panic -in a manipulated paper market you can throw the charts out the window the $ is fatally flawed , all fiat is being printed to infinity , the debt is exploding, gold/silver will be the last man standing. Scaring people away from the physical is priority, accumulation of the physical at lower prices is what the smart investor will do . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbubb Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 "Not a very impressive bounce- falling back now.. $1642. Needs to show some further strength here, or we are headed lower still. - Van commented, & I responded: Let's see how GLD closes in NYC. Gold could put in a nice V bottom today Close for GLD : $160.44 -0.76 (x 10.34 = $ 1,659) Open:159.52 / High:160.635 / Low:158.89 Volume: 19,100,877 Percent Change: -0.47% The day's Low for GBS was: $157.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 This article might just explain the "recent" underperformance http://gainspainscap...out-qe-3-and-4/ EXCERPT: The only issue with this is that the Fed lied. Today, the Fed’s balance sheet is $1.3 billion smaller than it was at this time last year. Last week it was $19 billion smaller. The largest year over year growth the Fed balance sheet has shown since QE 3 was announced occurred on November 23, 2012 when the Fed balance sheet was a mere $48 billion larger than it was at the same point in 2011.

drbubb Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 From the E-Wave thread here Bannister's Gold E-Wave Count To be sure, I count this as cycle year 13 in the Gold bull market and I had Gold peaking in June of 2013 at 2280-2400 ranges per ounce, but we will have to see now if that is still valid or not based on whether this C wave can hold and reverse hard soon. ==== Read more at http://www.stockhous...pwZVlkOSuTel.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G0ldfinger Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 http://www.bloomberg...-inflation.html Gold Lures Japan’s Pension Funds as Abe Targets Inflation... Japanese pension funds, the world’s second-largest pool of retirement assets after the U.S., will more than double their gold holdings in the next two years as the government seeks to target inflation to bolster economic growth, according to an adviser to the funds. ... “Pension money invested in bullion is ‘peanuts’ at the moment,” Toshima said. “If 1 percent of their total assets shift to the metal, the gold market would explode.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
