Dear RealMoneyTracker.com friends and followers of the white and yellow metals, first, let us wish you a happy and prosperous year of the Dragon. In the Chinese zodiac, the Dragon is considered the luckiest of all animals, and looking at the charts for both metals in january 2012, we're off to a good start.
As you all know 2011 was a very volatile year. Silver headed off and rushed to approximately 48 USD/oz before it fell off the cliff back in early May. Gold broke seasonal trends and had its greatest move during the summer and surpassed the 1900 USD/ozmark before it too fell off in September. Silver continued to fall during the last quarter and fell as low as almost 26 USD/oz, a staggering -45% move from its 2011 high. Bulls who played the leveraged short term markets did not get very good sleep. If the bulls dominated the first half of the year, the bears certainly showed muscle during the second.
Of course, it's never fun to see your metals go down in price, but you have to keep in mind that the long term trend looking at the 10 year chart, or even a 5 year chart, hasn't changed. The trends are still intact for both metals. Gold touched and briefly traded below its 200 day moving average which gold has done a few times during the 11 year bull market. Buying physical metal at or below the 200 day moving average represent an excellent point of entry into the market, or a fantastic opportunity to add to positions acquiring more gold at a relatively cheap price. Dips like we saw in 2011 must be considered gifts. Those of you who bought more gold in late 2008 blow the 200 day moving average have done extraordinarily well more than doubling your money. Nothing moves only up without taking a breather to the downside. These dips should be taken advantage of by long term bulls. Now, when writing this in mid February 2012, gold has just recently (late January) broken above the 200 day moving average line. We could definitely see another move below as we saw in 2008, if that happens, it's an excellent time to buy more.
Gold 10 year chart with 200 day moving average, from February 15th 2012:

Audio Transcript – Saturday, February 11, 2012
Stephen Kinzer shares his insights on the impending threat of war in Iran, Operation Ajax, and the Blowback from Iran Since 1953

He has been a New York Times Bureau Chief in Istanbul, Berlin, and Nicaragua. He’s the author of many books, including the best-selling book All the Shah’s Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror.

KINZER (Stephen Kinzer): Great to be with you.
FTM: I am looking at your book right now—at the Preface to the 2008 edition: “The Folly of Attacking Iran.” And I would say, Stephen, that many of the people who are listening to the program today are…I don’t want to assume that they’re not familiar with the 1953 event, but I want to assume that perhaps they don’t know as much about
it as perhaps maybe they should. And especially now, as we take a look at the news cycle, we see that Iran is all over the news: talk about invasion; talk about stopping the nuclear program (whether it’s even occurring or not is a debate). But the issue at hand right now is, “Should we invade Iran for the benefit of our foreign policy, for the benefit of our security interests?” And you have written a book here that really peels back the layers about this entire question. Why don’t you begin by sharing with our audience why you wrote this book and why this topic is important to you?
KINZER: In the first place, you’re right that that 2008 edition of the book…
