Dines: “Remember, gold moves on its own cycle. It has come down with the
whole raw materials crash in China, and it’s dragged down every single raw
material including rare earths, uranium, everything. But gold is different.
Curiously enough we have been getting an upturn in some of these rare earths and
uraniums. They seem to be moving together for some reason. The answer to that
is probably somewhere deep in mass psychology.
But the most important thing to
remember about the geopolitical situation is that gold is a hedge against two
things: Currency debasement, in other words too much printing of phony paper
money, and also geopolitical fears....
“And that’s happening in the
Middle-East. That’s expressing itself in Egypt right now. The violence is
going to get much worse. And of course whenever there is trouble around the
Suez Canal, the prices of oil and shoots up. Why? Because the people in those
areas are uncertain about their currencies -- will they be there
tomorrow?
So they swing their money into
gold, and to some extent silver. That’s what’s happening now. Gold will move
generally, but not precisely, against or opposite the stock market -- not every
day but generally.
The Dines ‘Wolf Pack’ theory says
that groups of similar economic backgrounds tend to move together. You will
note that all of the metals tend to move together -- gold, silver, platinum, and
palladium. We flashed a buy signal on gold again recently, and we think they
(the metals) look higher.
It depends on whether there will be
peace in the Middle-East or what’s going to happen. The area is in turmoil.
It’s historic. The area is seething, and worse than that there is an eery
collection of coincidences relating back to the 1930s. (As an example) the
popularity of Superman is an interesting resurgence..."
