Premium Updates

This week's Premium Update includes over 5000 words and 12 charts dedicated to the the current situation from the point of view of the Precious Metals Investor. The issues that we covered this week include:

• The IMF announcement about the plans to sell the remaining 191.3 tons of gold
• Yesterday's interest rate increase (what does it mean for PM Investors?)
• Are the gold-producing juniors also likely to move lower with the main stock indices?
• Who should buy gold now, and who can wait?
• Correlations between PMs, main stock indices, and the USD Index
• Long- and shor-term charts of gold, silver, PM stocks, USD, SPY ETF with short-term price targets
• Cyclical tendencies, our own unique indicator, divergences, and much more...

Precious Metals are moving higher as indicated in the latest Market Alert, but there are still many factors that can influence the direction, in which the PM prices will head next. According to the signals from our correlation matrix, and based on the price action alone, the most important one appears to be the general stock market - this is why we have dedicated a substantial part of this week's issue to this market alone. We even provide percentage "guesstimates" for each of the probable scenarios.

Another thing that has been widely covered is the situation on the U.S. Dollar market. Not only did we comment on the USD Index from both long- and short-term perspective, but we also analyze volume through the UUP ETF.

As always, analyze the long- and short-term charts of gold, silver (featuring probable target for the coming rally) and precious metals stocks. Additionally, we feature the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index, which may have very important consequences for long-term PM Investors.

Moreover, we provide our thoughts on the recently introduced junior ETF and we comment on the current Euro crisis and its implications for PM Investors.

Gold, silver, and mining stocks have been declining very rapidly in the past several weeks and they have now reached (or are even below) our previous the target areas for this downswing. Is this a buying opportunity, or should precious metals investors take additional new factors into account? As we emphasized in the previous Premium Updates, no market moves alone given today's globalized economy, and even more globalized financial markets. At this moment the general stock market appears to be one of the most important factors to consider and in this issue we focus on the influence it may have on other markets, and consequently on your portfolio.

Naturally, this week's Premium Update includes the detailed analysis of gold, silver, and precious metals stocks in both long- and short-term - relevant to both long-term Investors and short-term Speculators. We also cover the situation on the USD Index (again long- and short-term point of view) and the general stock market.

Moreover, this issue includes rankings of top gold and silver juniors. Additionally, we provide you with a chart featuring prices of juniors relative to gold itself, and comment on the outlook for this particular sector given the bearish situation in the main stock indices.
