Gold Overtakes Platinum in the Precious Metals Market

A pretty rare occurrence that is not so rare nowdays: gold prices are valued higher than platinum prices in the precious metals commodities market. Say what? Yes, gold costs more than platinum! As of the close of the last business day (April 6, 2012), gold closed at $1,634.10 per ounce and platinum closed at $1,602 […]

Gold Prices Waver… Should You?

Remember that little hit of satisfaction when you heard that the first day of trading in the new year showed the first real gains in some months? The result? The dollar rose just slightly, crude oil prices fell nearly 5%, and gold came down just a little bit, too. The price of crude fell because […]

Invest in Platinum: 2009?

At face value, it seems that now is the right time to invest in platinum when you consider the highs and lows of the past 52 weeks. Platinum reached an all-time high of just over $2,300 per ounce in March of 2008 and today tries to hold firm around $940 an ounce–a 60% drop from […]

Gold Prices Hit Historic High!

I was going to write about making resolutions relating to buying and investing and enjoying gold in coin, jewelry and investment gold this week, but when I took a look at the news of the day, I felt compelled to discussed what is going on in the markets.

Idexonline.com reports that nearly half […]

With a front-running style, favored Precious Gold takes the lead by a head December 15th, 2008, 5:30 Eastern, with Price of Platinum coming in second at a price of $835 per ounce–$2 below gold. The prelude to this historical event was Friday, December 12th, when platinum and gold collided within a $1 spread of each […]

Gold: Time to Buy, Sell, or Hold?

The price of gold is doing the rollercoaster thing again. Up sharply in the last week, then dropping precipitously in the last several days, and why? Experts tag this to the fact that it did go sharply up and then come screaming downward as everyone rushed to sell their gold at the record high prices. […]

Platinum and Gold: When Metals Collide

Although platinum is 30 times rarer than gold, the two metals’ prices collided throughout the day and finally closed with gold at $822 per ounce and platinum at $823! Today’s $1 spread was nothing short of historical for precious metals; the last time platinum and gold met at such close quarters  was 1996! Platinum has […]

Marketwatch: Gold Prices Waver

Gold prices are already starting to rebound, after two weeks of falling prices brought on by a steep crude oil decline and worries about deflation. But let’s factor in a few other things, like predictions in the past week that the price of a gallon of gas at the pump could drop to $1 per […]

Snapshot: Gold Mining in the Philippines

The interesting thing about the internet these days is that we can see the inter-play of gold prices and the international economic climate.  We can read about laid-off retail workers in England, nervous buyers in Israel and the Mideast, and frightened consumers around the United States. But we can also see a bright spot, like the gold market.  […]
