Gold's First Down Year Since 2000 - What's Next?

``... how can anyone still believe gold and silver are in a bull market? Because the precious metal bears in the paper futures markets have been cheating more than usual this year. Expect these big banks' mindless shorting of paper metal in 2013 to cost them dearly with record percentage advances in the precious metals market for 2014 or 2015. Something like a 100% advance for gold and 200% for silver year over year in 2014. You understand I can't guarantee that, but the market for physical gold and silver is extremely tight, no matter what the cascading COMEX prices during 2013 would have us believe. If you're a bull who likes to buy low, the table above provides ample evidence that now may be the best buying opportunity since 2000 to enter the gold and silver bull market.''
