Now Is Time To Buy Gold, But Quit Silver

Aibek Burabayev - INO.com Contributor - Metals


Dear INO.com Readers,

Last week I recommended you to be patient and wait until Gold finishes its pullback. The most important thing was to see if the neckline of an Inverse Head And Shoulders pattern and Symmetrical Triangle’s upside (highlighted in red) would stay safe. As you can see, Wednesday and Thursday candles couldn’t break below the support and this ideal pullback was amazingly precise. Moreover, Thursday’s candle appeared to be an Inverted Hammer. An Inverted Hammer is a reverse candle shaped on the troughs of a downtrend when the open and low are at the same level. The market reversed up on Friday confirming what the candle had suggested. On top of this, RSI also kept its support intact adding to the reversal behavior of the price. And the final touch is from possible uptrend development (highlighted in dashed green parallel lines) which now has three consequent bottoms adding to the power of the channel. So, we have an ideal pullback of the price. This is a healthy sign for the bulls, as its easier now to gain enough momentum from RSI’s low to soar back above $1300. Now, my patient friends, it is safe to buy gold above the Inverted Hammer’s high at $1233, with a target at $1300 (just below recent peak - buy level and target are highlighted in green arrows). And as always ,please don’t forget to put your stop below the neckline at $1212 ($3 below support highlighted in red). Risk is 1.7% ($21), reward is 5.4% ($67).

Low Oil Prices Are an Act of Economic Warfare

The Energy Report: Bob, in January you published an article saying that the drop in oil prices could be the "straw that pops the $7-trillion derivative bubble." Can you explain the influence of oil prices on derivatives?

Bob Moriarty: It's not the oil prices that are significant; it's the change in oil prices. If you own an oil field and it costs you $75 to produce a barrel, at $110 a barrel ($110/bbl), you're OK. If oil drops to $45/bbl, you're in serious trouble.

In the shale oil sector, producers were taking out hundreds of billions of dollars in loans to finance shale oil that was costing them about $110/bbl to produce. It looked good on paper, but was a disaster waiting to happen. A lot of people in the shale oil business will soon be going out of business.

"Pan Orient Energy Corp. just closed on the Thailand sale, and will be drilling a game-changing well in the next couple of weeks."

This could start World War III. The United States is the biggest oil producer in the world today, and Russia is number two. Russia's economy is based on oil priced at $110/bbl. They are very angry at the U.S. and Saudi Arabia for the games that have been played in oil. Oil at $45/bbl is not sustainable. It could bring down the world's financial system all by itself.

The real cost of energy today is $60 to $70/bbl. In the last piece I did with The Energy Report, I said $75 to $100/bbl oil was the new normal. That's still true. Oil is way below the cost of production, and that's going to hurt a lot of people.

TER: There is speculation the Saudis are doing this to wipe out some of the Russian and deepwater production. Could that be true? Continue reading "Low Oil Prices Are an Act of Economic Warfare"

Is the Ruble a Worthwhile Bargain?

Lior Alkalay - INO.com Contributor - Forex


The ink on the second Minsk agreement hasn’t even dried and already speculators are rubbing their hands together in greedy anticipation, ready to take a plunge into the Ruble’s “bargain” rate against the Dollar in the hope of a quick recovery. The basis for that sentiment is rather simple; market movers have long realized that the Russian Ruble is no longer a financial game but rather a geopolitical one. If tensions around Ukraine ease, the Ruble is expected to get some respite; if, however, tensions increase then still more sanctions are likely to loom over the Russian economy and the Ruble trade turns to short. The constant escalation and de-escalation and vice versa of the Ukrainian crisis has forced Ruble players to exercise greater caution. Yet, for some, the latest Minsk agreement represents a broader and perhaps longer lasting de-escalation and thus might further suggest that the Ruble could regain some lost ground. To assess whether that assumption is viable we must first delve into the political intricacies of Russia’s showdown with the West. Continue reading "Is the Ruble a Worthwhile Bargain?"

Jim Rogers on Opportunities in Russia and Other Hated Markets

By Nick Giambruno

Nick Giambruno: Welcome, Jim. As you know, Doug Casey and I travel the world surveying crisis markets, and we always like to get your take on things. Today I want to talk to you about Russia, which is a very hated market right now. What are your thoughts on Russia in general and on Russian stocks in particular?

Jim Rogers: Well, I’m optimistic about the future of Russia. I was optimistic before this war started in Ukraine, which was instigated by the US, of course. But in any case, I bought more Russia during the Crimea incident, and I’m looking to buy still more.

Unfortunately, what’s happening is certainly not good for the United States. It’s driving Russia and Asia together, which means we’re going to suffer in the long run—the US and Europe. Another of the big four Chinese banks opened a branch in Moscow recently. The Iranians are getting closer to the Russians. The Russians recently finished a railroad into North Korea down to the Port Rason, which is the northernmost ice-free port in Asia. The Russians have put a lot of money into the Trans-Siberian railroad to update it and upgrade it, all of which goes right by China.

Usually, people who do a lot of business together wind up doing other things together, such as fighting wars, but this isn’t any kind of immediate development. I don’t think the Russians, the Chinese, and the Iranians are about to invade America.

Nick: So because of these economic ties to Asia, the Russians are not as dependent on the West. Is that why you’re optimistic about Russia? Continue reading "Jim Rogers on Opportunities in Russia and Other Hated Markets"
