Special Report from the Bullion Vault

Why does silver move so much further, and faster, than gold...?

The silver market often gets a bum rap. The reason is that often its gyrations are much greater than those of the gold market.

What causes this? There are theories that bankers and investment companies are conspiring to try to manipulate the market. However, buying or selling alone is not a conspiracy. It is called a speculation. Where conspiracy begins is poorly defined in law, especially where it's one through market trading. But one factor is true: market perception can be changed by those with big wallets.

Quantitative easing and zero rates haven't worked. So let's have much more of 'em, eh...?

Gold attracts investment capital when other asset classes fail to deliver.

So now equities have clearly regained their appeal after more than a decade of what finance professionals would rather we called "sub-optimal" returns, gold investing has lost its urgency for money managers.

Gold Sector Remains In Dog House

With Friday's drop gold decided to take the lower fork and should now be moving down towards a DCL. This is great news in the sense that it allows us to formulate a framework and set of expectations.

Gold has moved to Day 19 of a Daily Cycle that typically runs between 20 to 30 days. For final Daily Cycles, the number is closer to 20 days while for 1^st Daily Cycles the number is almost 30 days. With gold moving lower this deep in the Cycle, I strongly feel that is not a 1^st Daily Cycle.
