Gold and Metals Price Direction for 2012

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

There is only so much value in the world economy, and it is split between all the different instruments (like gold, silver, stocks bonds, etc.) where value resides.

For gold (and silver) to rise significantly, relative to other instruments of value, value will have to be diverted away from those other competing instruments. The printing of more money does benefit gold, but it does not necessarily benefit gold more than other assets such as commodities, for example.

Historically gold has made its significant gains, relative to other assets (as well as nominally), not during inflation, but during deflation (Note: I am using the terms inflation and deflation very loosely in this case). These significant gold rallies historically occur when value flees instruments such as stocks and certain commodities.

Since the 1920s there have been three major gold rallies (1930s, 1970s and the current rally). Below is a Dow Jones Industrial Average chart (from stockcharts.com) from 1900 to today.

All three major gold rallies came after a significant top in the Dow and the Dow/Gold ratio (1929, 1966 and 1999). A great portion of the 1930s and 1970s rallies occurred when the Dow was falling significantly. In fact, the biggest rise in the gold price occurred when the Dow was falling or was trading closer to the bottom of its trading range during that period.

The current gold rally (since 2001) has mostly been during the time when the Dow has also been rising, with the exception of a short period in both 2002 and the end of 2008 to Feb 2009. The best of the current gold rally, since 2001, has been during a time when the Dow was rising as well. Therefore, based on the evidence from the 1930s and 1970s gold rallies, I believe the current gold rally has not yet had its best period it is still to come, so decisions to sell gold may be best held off until a direction in the market is more evident. My current fundamental and fractal analysis of the Dow and gold supports this view.

The Dow is currently trading close to its all-time high, and it is my opinion that gold will step into the next phase of this bull market when the Dow starts to fall. A falling Dow, with weak economic conditions, will be the impetus for the next massive rally in gold, just like it was in previous bull markets. A falling and/or weak Dow will in some way represent the diverting of value from stocks to gold. For more on the fundamentals of why a falling Dow will cause the next massive rise in gold, see my article called: Is a Gold Parabolic Blow-off Long Due?

My current analysis suggests that this is likely to happen soon, since gold appears to be bottoming (or has already bottomed), whereas the Dow appears to be looking for that final point (see my previous article on the Dow, for more details).

CHOOSING BETWEEN THE TOP WEB HOSTS

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

There are so many names in the web hosting business today that some new domainers don’t know where to turn. You have popular hosting companies such as Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy, 1 & 1 and even Yahoo offering hosting services. Amongst the best web hosting providers the prices are fairly close and many of them even include a free domain name with your hosting account. So how do you decide which host is best for you from all the web hosting companies that are out there? Firstly, although the monthly pricing structure may be similar between various hosts some may offer little extras for that same price. So check out the comparison chart that most web hosts have on their sales pages. These comparison charts compare the different plans that the host offers and the various benefits of the different plans. Some hosts may even show comparisons between their hosting solutions and those of their competitors in the hosting arena. Secondly check out the reputation of the web host with other customers by performing a search on the web hosts name. This search should provide web hosting reviews and any comments that have been left in forums about the web host and their service. These simple steps could help you choose the correct host to suit your particular domain needs.
