The metals get punished

Posted by Rob | September 9, 2008 .

All across the board, precious metals took a beating today.  Here are the final numbers: Gold: $777 Silver: $11.26 Platinum: $1216 Palladium: $230 Quite the opposite of when I was expecting.  At this point one has to ask – how low can they go?  It isn’t too far-fetched to say we’ll see gold dip into [...]

A bloodbath in the metals market

Posted by Rob | September 9, 2008 .

Just a quick mid-day update.  Gold and Silver are in a freefall yet again.  As I write this, silver is sitting at $11.74, down 32 cents.  Gold is at $780.10 – down $21.40.  Wow.  The US Government takes over Fannie Mae and Freddie mac, so precious metals take a nosedive.  How’s that for economic theory?

Gold finished up the day at $802, slightly up from yesterday.  Silver dropped under $13, Platinum finished at $1335, and Palladium at $281.  It hasn’t been a good couple weeks for the metals in general, but the white metals in particular. Though we may see some more downside in the near future, Silver is a [...]

Precious Metals in a funk

Posted by Rob | September 2, 2008 .

Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium have had a tough time as of late.  Gold is doing it’s best to hold above $800, Silver struggling to keep above $13.  Platinum is hovering right around the $1400 range, and Palladium can’t seem to get back above $300.  Each of the “big four” precious metals has seen a [...]
