Kennedy Gold Coin becomes a Numismatic Disaster
(Read More)On August 5, 2014 at 12pm Noon EST, the U.S. Mint began to sell a Kennedy .999 Gold Half Dollar to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1964 John F. Kennedy Half Dollar. The morning of August 5, I was able to see the buyer’s line (which began forming at 2am) with over 800 people already in line. Many of the buyers in this line were bused in by large retail dealers who had been offered up to $500 to stand in this line and buy the one coin . . . .

GOLD Gold is trading today in a narrow $7 per ounce trading range between $1,302 and $1,309 per ounce.

Central banks continuing to boost gold reserves
(Read More)Given the crisis in Ukraine and deteriorating ties with the West, Russia has been aggressively accumulating gold reserves. The IMF, in its recently released International Financial Statistics report, showed that the Russian central bank has hiked its gold holdings by 16.8 tonnes to 1,094.8 tonnes in June.

GOLD Today, Gold is trading in a narrow price range after hitting a five-week low yesterday. The Gold chart has turned technically short term bearish. Upbeat U.S. economic data released Thursday and the recently rallying U.S. dollar index that hit a six-month high this week were bearish weights on the Gold and Silver markets. I really would like to see...(Read More) -

GOLD I am really having a difficult time understanding why Gold sold off 1% today, with what is happening around the world. This could just be a temporary setback, because historically, Gold increases when geopolitical crises and wars are happening. $1,285 per ounce is an important support level and Gold hit a low of $1,281 this morning. At 11am PDT...(Read More) -

GOLD During today’s trading, Gold has fallen below the $1,300 support level, while struggling to stay above the 50-day moving average at $1,294.
