This gold market is scary.
Scary, in what this relentless rise and massive buying from mysterious sources implies.
Reminds me of an email exchange I had a while back with James Grant. He signed off an email with a virtual toast to some fantastically high gold price.
I replied,…

Now that gold's in uncharted territory again, I'll break out my old comps to give some indication of the upside potential.
In the 1970-74 bull, gold rose 5.6X from trough to peak. In the 1976-80 run, it multiplied 8.2X. In the ’00-’11 bull, it went 7.5X.
The low for this move…

Wow. Ray Dalio on CNBC just says a typical portfolio would have a 10%-15% gold "overlay."

Lots of gold commentary on CNBC today, but most commentators (not

I don't think geopolitics are significant factors for gold in general, but unless they're throwing dollar weaponization into that…

Gold and stocks soaring in response to a hint that another central bank *might* be pivoting and that this *might* exert some pressure on the Fed to at some point in the future do the same.
Imagine what will happen when the Fed fully pivots?

Flash crash in spot gold immediately rectified. I'd suspect a fat finger except the crash wasn't a straight line down — looks like a concerted effort. Whatever the reason for it, the market obviously wants more gold at a higher price.
Never seen anything like this, even in 2008.

Good reason to vote for Joe Biden, who will raise Elon Musk’s taxes to help address the problem, rather than Donald Trump, who will do the reverse with the opposite effect.

Silver needs to hold above $18 this time around. If it does, it could pop to low-$20s in a flash.

One of the key characteristics of this run in gold has been that the Asian investors are in, the central banks are in...but the western investors aren't.

Again: This is the most important piece of gold research in quite some time.
It validates what I and others have been postulating: The gold buying has been coming from China...it's price insensitive...and once Western trend-following investors jump in it will be explosive.
Yesterday I published the article below under a different name. Shortly after publication, though, new data came out and I decided to rewrite the article. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

If I'm figuring this correctly, gold went from $1,400 to over $1,500 in only 20 trading sessions. History says they'll force it back below $1,500 a few times, so be prepared.

Just a reminder that nothing in today's markets is "normal" and don't believe anyone who tries to normalize it.
