There are many ways to protect yourself from rising inflation / decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar, but not all of them are really useful. In this essay, I comment on a few ways of doing so with emphasis on the precious metals funds (ETFs, ETNs, and mutual funds). Additionally, I analyze the current situation in the PM stock sector.

This week gold moved decisively above the $1,000 barrier, and there is no doubt that this is a significant development in the precious metals market. This week I focus on how high this rally is likely to take gold, and whether this coming top is going to be a major one or just a step in a much bigger rally.

The general stock market broke below its support level, while USD Index stopped at its multi-month resistance line. Given such mixed signals, precious metals wait for a decisive move from either of the abovementioned markets. What's next for gold and gold stocks? This week we answer this question not only by analyzing the popular charts available publicly, but by commenting on one of our unique indicators.

This week we have seen gold and silver move lower, just like I mentioned a week ago. Gold closed the week below $1000, and silver topped exactly in tune with the cycles that I mentioned in the previous essay. Where do we go from here and how fast? One of the charts featured this week suggests HUI above 800.

This week gold closed above the epic $1000 barrier for 4 days - a very bullish sign for the whole precious metals sector. On the other hand many indicators scream "overbought" and "sell now", as the rally has been really rapid. This essay provides you with details on how to best approach the PM market right now.
