This past week proved to be dynamic for the precious metals sector. What does this portend for the financial indicators next week? The drop in the value of the U.S. dollar could spell trouble.

        Another way to influence gold and silver price on the COMEX is to make a change in margin requirements.
        If margin is raised some over-leveraged longs will be forced to sell.

        Expect it to happen and cause a price drop.

    as posted earlier: gary savage, says gold won’t break the 200 month mvg avg. ..http://www.gold-eagle.com/article/what%E2%80%99s-going-gold

      Apr 29, 2016 29:27 PM

      That is actually a great call.

        Apr 29, 2016 29:45 PM

        I thought so……….

        Birdman-Your long term $1000 call? Is that pretty much what Gary is saying in his above piece? TIA

          Apr 29, 2016 29:51 PM

          No. Gary has not been in that camp for a long time. Even I am getting ready to dispense with that theory since it has abruptly become improbable. What Gary was saying in reference to the post above was that gold would not break out over its 200 month moving average….that it will bounce off that resistance and correct down.

          I agree with him. That’s a good call.

    BOBBY………thanks for the post………on BILL AND BOB..COMEXING WITH BELIEF.

      Apr 29, 2016 29:30 PM

      I still think COMEX IS A FRAUD……….

        That’s why some people call it the CRIMEX

          Apr 29, 2016 29:23 PM

          Yes indeed

            Apr 29, 2016 29:41 PM

            ….. and that’s why we invented all organic DOOM EX !!!!

            damn……….that is funny…….

            Apr 29, 2016 29:18 PM

            It never get’s old……

            Like the venerable Franky/Xing Xang/Jonnalin so often said:

            “Day never stop!”

            Apr 29, 2016 29:19 PM

            BTW – Where is Franky?

            Has he gotten kicked out again? Haven’t seen his posts for a few weeks.

            Apr 29, 2016 29:46 PM

            That is a gooooood question……..WHERE IS FRANKY?

            Apr 29, 2016 29:52 PM

            Yeah, we need more jokes about Marylin Monroe and the Pope.

            May 01, 2016 01:29 PM

            I often wondered if Franky was even invested in the resource sector, but then once in a while he’d ask or comment about specific mining stocks. His posts seem to lack all connection to reality most of the time though, and for a long time I was frustrated by it until his posts got so absurd that somehow it started cracking me up. Also he is very passionate, which stands out like a sore thumb when people are posting charts, graphs, numbers, and talking TA.

    BTW – Good job to Gold today. It looks like it is going to close above $1280 and $1290 – currently at at $1294.50.

    * This is going to be a very positive daily, weekly, and monthly close.

      Apr 29, 2016 29:38 PM

      DO not forget silver……………break out is happening………. 🙂

        Apr 29, 2016 29:05 PM

        HUI………..233……..up $15……nice……….

        Apr 29, 2016 29:07 PM

        OK final close is Gold at $1292.40.

        Yes, Contrarian’s Contrarian Frank…… Of course Silver is a star today!
        – As you know the level I wanted to see a close above was $17.72, and Silver kept on trucking and closed at $17.82. It threw down a Mercury Dime on that resistance like a boss!

        So yeah, a very solid move made today by the PMs. Nice.

      Apr 29, 2016 29:15 PM

      I remember in 2004, 2006 at the Hard assets Conf in early May both years after solid Jan -Aprils in the PMs, and suddenly Da Boyz collapsed the metals significantly. One of those years I sat down with Al for a share time.Marriott Marquis-Times Square

        Apr 29, 2016 29:22 PM

        I remember……..did not shake me out………..

        Apr 29, 2016 29:34 PM

        I wonder if we are going to get 2-4 am waterfall dump event the next 5-7 trading days in the PMs. Be vigilant.

          Apr 29, 2016 29:39 PM

          The Chinese will soak it up…….on the SGE…….maybe………

          Apr 29, 2016 29:40 PM

          BUT, you know they are going to try something…..

          Apr 29, 2016 29:35 PM

          Marty – Next week is going to be very interesting indeed. Agreed on being vigilant.

          Keep a weather eye on the horizon………

            Apr 29, 2016 29:54 PM

            Even if gold does correct down suddenly, odds are good it bounces back again before the end is confirmed.

    Apr 29, 2016 29:47 PM

    Superb commentary! I’d like to hear from Craig frequently if possible.

        Thanks for that info Marty! Enjoy the weekend.

      Apr 29, 2016 29:22 PM

      Yes – Craig was on point today. I agree with his comments on the dollar index being affected by the Yen and the Euro as part of the dollar index and as their monetary easing policies push the currencies around.
