Looming Fed Rate Hike Makes These Assets a Strong Buy ****** The last time the Fed raised rates, it kicked off a 66% gain in the gold price. I did the DD and went back and looked...Gold went up BIG when Gold was beat down when there were FED rate hikes - it (GOLD) went up big every time in that scenario...opposite was true when there was a Fed hike and Gold was performing well - in those instances - gold was affected NEGATIVELY !!! NOT the CASE NOW (SEE Fridays spike 12/04/15) when the STREET herd the NEWS of the outstanding JOBS report - thus pretty much confirming a FED HIKE this month as proof...No Gold didn't take a hit Friday - just the exact opposite

That's why this is one of the last great buying opportunities for gold and silver. If the Fed Not Raising Interest Rates Was Bearish for Gold, Can the Fed Raising Rates Also Be Bearish?

There has been a lot of talk about how the U.S. Federal Reserve raising interest rates is allegedly going to be bearish for gold. Since gold has been able to decline for more than four years without the Fed increasing rates even once, it is illogical to conclude that a Fed rate increase will be negative for gold. It isn't reasonable that the Fed not raising rates and the Fed raising rates are both bearish for the yellow metal. Historically, as long as the Fed has been behind the curve in raising rates more slowly than inflationary expectations have been rising, the price of gold has tended to perform well during periods of Fed rate increases. It is difficult to imagine the Yellen Fed being as proactive as Paul A. Volcker had been at the end of the 1970s and in the early 1980s. The Yellen Fed seems to like to preserve its power by keeping investors guessing, and the easiest way to do that is to only raise rates when there exists the possibility of an additional rate hike. One analyst described this phenomenon concisely in this essay with which I generally agree.
I SEE a Major rebound coming...It STARTED Friday 12/04/2015
