CHRYSLER FILING BANKRUPTCY
Gold and silver are both down sharply this morning, largely in reaction to the fact that Chrysler is going into bankruptcy for the purpose of forcing its hedge fund lenders to go along with the bailout program. The Administration apparently supports Chrysler in this endeavor. The unions and most of the other parties involved apparently had agreed to a restructuring program. However, the principal hedge fund lenders refused to do so. The fact that the bankruptcy courts will be utilized as part of a process of liquidating these liabilities and allow Chrysler to remain in business with Fiat as a new partner, is considered a constructive development. Perhaps this is the kind of situation that should be utilized not only with Chrysler and GM, but also with a number of the large banks that find themselves unable to meet the stress test. The fact that a Chrysler bankruptcy seems to be well received is a factor that reduced the safe haven demand for gold. As gold dipped $16, it pulled silver down along with it causing silver to lose $.39. The dollar strengthened on this news, up 47 basis points to 84.94, while oil was down $.54 at $50.43 a barrel.
All of these factors were negative for the metals market. There may also have been some technical selling that hit the market as gold failed to penetrate resistance at $901. In addition, one analyst reported some book squaring selling on the last trading day of the month. Clearly, the rally in equities yesterday and today and the big move upward in the Asian markets also reduced safe haven demand for gold and influenced the markets. Nevertheless, gold remains in the same trading range of $850 to $950 and remains in an area where it should be accumulated. The Aden Report says that the correction and consolidation phase is nearly over and a major up move lies directly ahead.
Commerzbank analyst Eugen Wienberg said gold could trade lower before trading back above $1,000 an ounce at the end of the year or the beginning of next year when inflation may again be in focus. A Futures Tech analyst said gold prices have been range trading but technical indicators suggest the metal will have a "breakout." He also said volatility is contracting and this usually happens ahead of a breakout move. As a consequence of these technical indicators, we may see gold breaking out to the upside.
There are a few analysts who think gold may trade as low as $800 in its bull market before returning back into the $1,000 range. However, in my opinion it is too early to call such a move. Once gold moves through the second quarter and into the third quarter, I think the markets will look considerably stronger. That is especially true if the economy is stabilizing and starting to demonstrate some signals of recovery. Moreover, there are now some so called "green shoots" beginning to emerge that could be signaling that inflation pressures will be on the rise. One of those factors is that interest rates are starting to move higher.
The jobless claims data showed a loss of 14,000 additional jobs to 631,000 in the week ending April 25th. That was considerably worse than expected. The total number of unemployed drawing jobless benefits now stands at 6.3 million and the unemployment rate remains at 8.5%. David Rosenberg of B of A/Merrill says the real unemployment rate is about 16%. Dr. Roubini and others think we may soon see that move up to 9% and top out at around 10% before recovery begins.
Given the overall outlook for the economy and the commodities markets, along with the specifics of the precious metal sector, it would appear that gold remains in an excellent buying zone.

You should review Goldine's Account Agreement along with our risk disclosure booklet, Coin Facts for Investors and Collectors to Consider ®, prior to making your purchase. Goldline has a spread or price difference between our selling price, called the "ask", and our buy-back price, called the "bid". That spread varies depending on coin or bar you acquire. Spreads on 1 oz bullion coins, 90% silver dimes and quarters, and one ounce and larger bullion bars are 13%. All other coins have a spread of 28%. There is also a 1% liquidation fee when you sell your coins back to Goldline. The market must go up enough to overcome this spread before an actual profit is achieved. Precious metals and rare coins can increase or decrease in value. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Coins are a long-term, three- to five-year, preferably five- to ten-year investment. We believe precious metals are suitable for 5% to 20% of the average investment portfolio though others may recommend a different percentage.
