SUPPLY/DEMAND FACTORS
In 2010, Central Banks are now close to becoming net buyers of gold, while mine output continues to decline.



Comments:
  • Gold/XAU ratio 7.15 well above classic buy signal of 5
  • Gold/Silver ratio of 66 too high – should be  < 60 (58).
  • Short term Gold Negatives: Mixed Astro & Seasonality.
  • Short term Silver Positives: Astrology.

GOLD INVESTING & TRADING
 

INVESTMENT 
  • Hold Gold as both an investment & hedge.
  • Gold is the Cheapest insurance against both declining US dollar and inflation.
  • Gold and precious metals can perform well in either an inflationary or deflationary environment.
  • Strong Demand underlying from Chinese India Middle East Japanese, Russia, and smart money US & Europe.


TRADING
Gold Trading Targets often come earlier and revised higher.
What is unusual and new is an EXTREMELY wide 2010 trading range.
2010 GOLD TRADING RANGE $960 - $1240.
2010 SILVER TRADING TARGET $21. ($12.80 - $26 range).
2010 TRADING TARGETS: GOLD $1200 (achieved) & SILVER $21 ($26)
The FOUR FACES OF GOLD
Current Gold Fair Value $1012
 

Gold is a commodity, currency, inflation measure & crisis metal
Q1 2010 Gold FV:   $1012
Commodity FV:         $912
Currency FV:             $988 
Inflation Metal FV:    $916 
Crisis FV:                 $1228

Later in 2010, we believe Gold trading will become less dependent on Oil and US$.
US$ wide range $.74 to $.82.
Note:  Trading Target is 82 but Fair Value only .7750 (was .88 12/5/2008).  Despite short term strength in the US$, we expect to see .77-.78 again and possibly even .74 later this year.
TRADERS: Reverse at .82 (80.50+).

Oil wide range bound $58-$91.

Silver Fair Value average is $15 as an Investment and $12 as a Commodity
Note: Silver Investment Fair Value fluctuates between $14.28 -$17.40.




I would like to leave you with two thoughts:

1. Gold and Silver are recommended multiyear investments for both wealth preservation and wealth creation.
2. Ben Bernanke was and will continue to be great for Gold

HYDE PARK SOAPBOX

If $400 gold indicates the presence of inflation, how can there be $900 gold and virtually none?  Must it be $1200 before the talking TV heads acknowledge what every living and breathing American knows: Living in the REAL world costs are far HIGHER than the official US government statistics pretend!
2010 Update: $1200 wasn’t high enough. Must it be $1500? 2000?
