PMs in 2013

Senex

I think PMs will trend upward in 2013, $1900 gold, $40 silver.
Of course I generally wrong!

LukeMarshall

I'm wondering if gas, electricity, coal, ect. will also be trending upwards as well.

If they haven't with all that should've made them do it by now, why would they then? Manipulation will never go away.

As someone who has played this game for a long time my prediction is gold will be priced between $100 and $10,000, silver will be priced between $5 and $150.

Look for a new round (or two) of quantitative easing in 2013/14.
That's sure to drive up the price of most commodities price in $US.
By the end of President Obama's second term I wouldn't be surprised at $3000 gold and $100 silver.

That would be surprising....Highly unlikely though. A more realistic scenario: Gold $1900...silver $47 by the e/o 2015. Only time will tell whose crystal ball or star gazing is more accurate.

For 2013..my c.b. tells me:

Gold: $1789
Silver: $38.50
Plat: $1795

The economy, depending on what you want to believe, is supposedly on an upswing or treading water at the very least. Why would metals rise if this is the case?
There's too much uncertainty for me to make any real commitment to buy metals in any sizeable quantity right now. I'm buying the kind of bars I like and that's about it, unless of course I come across a quantity that would be foolish not to buy and flip like a pancake.

gold will hit 2000
silver will hit 60

I think it's possible, I also think that it's probably going to be a long 4 years.

cohodk

Gold goes up every year

jdimmick

I don't see it , IMO next year the average price of both will be lower than this year.

If it hasn't happened with all that was supposed to drive it, why would it if things are supposedly getting better?

Gold
High of $1830
Low of $1540

Silver
High of $39
Low of $19.50

Disclosure: Please note that my crystal ball does have a crack in it and could be off slightly as I dropped it when Ben decided to stop giving deadlines for easing and just tied QE to unemployment.

In the words of Ben "Buzz Lightyear" Bernanke QE "To infinity and beyond!"

I don't know what the inverse of a bubble is called, but I believe the PMs are in one, silver most of all. Even if it ran up to $50 in the next 6 mos, I would be hesitant to sell.

Sounds about right. PM's will trend upward as will inflation and the national debt.

yellowkid

I still like PM's long term, but for this year, or even next?????

Much higher if FED loses control of interest rates. Interest rates are the canary in the coal mine.

ARCO

Mostly Sideways, but trending lower as the metals consolidate:

Gold $1450 -$1550
Silver $24-$26

I agree with the slow trend lower to the 1550 / 23 levels. Although I wouldn't mind it going up of course, but the lower prices would be preferred allowing my purchases to be in greater quantity of ozs.

That being said, I can see the metals exploding to the upside providing the markets finally get off of the sugar rush form the govt policies... But that would take logic. That seems to be lacking in America today...

OnlyGoldIsMoney

I expect sideways action or even a drop in prices. Good for continued stacking.

If I am wrong its good for net worth. Rising silver prices bring cool old poured bars out of hiding.

Well if that happens, as the saying goes: "even a broken clock tells the correct time twice daily"

Gold $1200

Silver $16

Platinum $1000 at end of 2013.

Due to Financial Collapse. PMs will be sold off like in 08 The Bernak Magic Money Machine where do wonders.

Barndog

would love the opportunity to buy silver at sixteen 2013 dollars!

DoubleEagle59

I'm not concerned about the short term (and yes, one year is short term for PM's).

It's at $30 dollars now:

Start at + or - $10 an ounce and increase these increments by $5 and I feel extremely confident we'll see........ $40 an ounce before $20 an ounce; $45 before $15; we'll see $50 before $10 and we'll see $55 before $5.

Invest in the long term trend.

That would be below the current all-in cost to mine gold and silver. Certainly, that would cause a problem with miners supplying the market at current production rates.
It would be no different than say auto dealers having to sell $20,000 new cars for $14,000. They wouldn't be able to withstand the losses for very long without cutting back
on staff, inventory, etc. But no doubt the govt would step in to provide the necessary $6,000 per car subsidy to keep the game going longer. They would not do that with miners.

Miners were able to profit hansomely back in 2007-2009 at $700-$1,000 gold as their expense were well under control, especially exploration expenses. At today's $1650 gold they
are actually doing worse than they were when gold was last at $1200. A return to that level could force many of them to close down unprofitable mines or even the entire company.
Most don't have the cash reserves to withstand months (or years) of $1200 gold. Now if oil can drop to $25-$50/barrel again and skilled labor and supplies get real cheap as well, then
maybe then can make a go of it. As long as money is being keystroked into existance at 10% per year I don't see how the cost of supplies and labor are going to drop off the map.
