Some goldbugs might be feeling glum this holiday season after a rough year for the yellow metal, but there are still plenty of contrarian voices advocating gold investment. Casey Research has published a valuable article highlighting the long-term gold bulls who haven’t lost faith. Besides renowned investors like Jim Rogers and Marc Faber, persistent goldbugs also share the company of global central banks and even major commercial banks that have been talking down gold while secretly buying.

In his latest piece with Casey Research, Jeff Clark lays out the main factors that might lead to a gold shortage in 2014. The trends Clark cites have been apparent for several years, but 2014 might be the year that Western purchasers of gold really start to notice the squeeze.

Casey Research published an interview with economist, professor, and financial advisor, Krassimir Petrov, who is a long-term precious metals bull, like Peter Schiff. While Petrov believes gold’s correction is ongoing (meaning it remains a great time to buy), he argues that this is just a temporary setback in a huge bull market that will last much longer than mainstream analysts predict.

First, I do expect that the stock market is going to lose significant value over the next five to ten years. Second, I believe that real estate is still grossly overvalued; as interest rates eventually rise, real estate will fall hard—overall, it will not hold value well. Third, I also believe that bonds are extremely overvalued and that yields are extremely low. I expect interest rates to begin to rise and bond prices to fall, so I strongly discourage investors from staying in bonds. Finally, I expect that governments will continue to inflate, even though it doesn’t work, and that currencies will devalue.

I strongly encourage investors to stay out of all four of these asset classes. Investors should be staying well diversified in commodities. They shouldn’t ignore food—agriculture. They shouldn’t ignore energy. But their portfolios should be dominated by precious metals.”

This week, in a commentary published by The Telegraph, John Ficenec defended gold’s history as the ultimate safe haven asset, arguing that the fundamentals for the yellow metal remain sound even if the price correction has spooked speculative investors. Long-term physical gold bulls continue to hoard the yellow metal to protect themselves from the inflationary money-printing of the world’s central banks.

After a 12-year run, it looks like gold’s wave has truly crested, and many bears are arguing that it’s all downhill from here. A quick glance at a long-term gold price chart certainly seems to confirm this impression:

Earlier this month, Paul Craig Roberts was interviewed by Greg Hunter of USAWatchdog about the perils faced by the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Roberts is a former Assistant Treasury Secretary and believes it is likely that there will be a major dollar crisis sooner than later. Roberts talks about the strong global demand for physical gold that continues even while international demand for US dollars shrinks. Like Peter Schiff, Roberts believes that the Fed has no safe way to end its monetary stimulus without triggering a major crisis and explains his position in depth in this extended interview.

In the last few months, both China and Japan have sold off some Treasuries, some $40 billion between them. This is not a huge sum, but it does show that they’re ceasing to accumulate them. And there’s also been reports that China is accumulating very large quantities of gold. So this does show that the dollar may have a limited life as the supreme currency.”

The Silver Institute released their monthly Silver News this week, and it is full of interesting updates on silver investment and advances in silver technologies. This edition includes articles on silver’s use in bio-batteries made with sewage, the 12th China International Silver Conference, and the US Mint’s staggering amount of silver coin sales this year.

“With two months to go in 2013, the U.S. Mint already has surpassed last year’s sales of American Eagle Silver Bullion Coins and is on track to beat 2011’s record.

Sales through mid-October totaled 36,954,500 compared to 33,742,500 for all of 2012. With sales averaging over 3.5 million coins per month this year, besting 2011’s record-setting sales of 39,868,500 appears to be in reach.

In an interview with Silver News earlier this year, Richard A. Peterson, Deputy Director of the United States Mint, outlined several reasons for the coin’s popularity.”

Some readers may want to toss a rotten tomato at the second part of that headline given stubbornly weak metals prices, but let’s see if the data we’ve uncovered below will lower that cocked arm.

As of last Friday, silver is down 32% on the year, and down a whopping 55% since its $48.70 high on April 28, 2011. The bear market cycle is now two-and-a-half years old, and no one can say with absolute certainty that the bottom is in.

Sounds like an investment to avoid.

Bloomberg published a feature article this week about Peter Schiff, attempting to paint him as an irrational gold bug and discredit his predictions of the looming economic crisis. The folks at The Daily Bell have published a rebuttal to Bloomberg’s hit piece, explaining some of the finer points of free market economics and why Peter is right about gold’s future.

Every week or month, Bloomberg editors attack gold and this article, striking out at chief gold bug Peter Schiff, is more of the same.

The bias is subtle but apparent. The article manages to point out that Schiff’s father is in jail for tax evasion and that Peter Schiff has made a personal fortune even while his precious metals recommendations have soured, from a mainstream media perspective.

As editors and writers of an alternative ‘Net publication, we have to admire the way Schiff confronts naysayers and fear mongers when it comes to the economy. As he responded once when we were speaking about free-market economics, ‘What other kind is there?'”

Jeff Clark, Senior Precious Metals Analyst for Casey Research, published an excellent article about the undiminished investment demand for silver this year. Gold has taken a beating from unjustly bearish investors, but the appetite for silver around the world does not seem to be fading at all. In a recent interview, Peter Schiff noted that silver is one of his most important safe haven investments thanks to its amazing upside potential.

“As of last Friday, silver is down 26.6% on the year, and down a whopping 55% since its $48.70 high on April 28, 2011. The bear market cycle is now two and a half years old—and no one can say with absolute certainty that the bottom is in.

Sounds like an investment to avoid.

For now, let’s ignore the fundamental argument for silver—an alternative currency that, like gold, will sooner or later respond to the historic levels of currency dilution throughout much of the developed world—and consider the behavior of investors. In response to the price drubbing, have they abandoned the silver market? If that were so, it might be a warning sign that we’ve overstayed our welcome.”
