Gold Nexus for Powerful Struggle Underway for New Global Financial World Order / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Gold Desafio: Global Struggle - The gold market has become, despite little recognition by the financial press, the battlefield for global control of the financial world. To the winner go the spoils and access to the helm. To the winner goes control of global banking, dominance in commerce, and the advantage in some degree of printing money on a credit card that all nations must finance indirectly. Nevermind the military aspect. In the Untied States, the custodial control of the USDollar as global reserve currency enabled it to spawn numerous syndicates with criminal impunity, since under the USGovt aegis (if not management).

By: Tim_Iacono
A lot of people are getting all worked up about the rising price of gold. Some say the current move has gone "parabolic" and that we're in the midst of a "blow-off top" akin to the early 1980s peak that saw the gold price disappoint investors for years afterward.
Just this morning, Hu Xiaolian, a vice-governor at the People's Bank of China, called gold a bubble and implied that the central bank wasn't much interested in buying thousands more tonnes of bullion as bank reserves at current prices.

By: Gary_Dorsch
One-way bets against the US-dollar have been building-up over the past eight-months, and are now estimated to total about $550-billion, in what’s popularly dubbed the US-dollar “carry trade.” Its predecessor, the infamous “yen carry” trade, also gained a lot of notoriety, when the Bank of Japan pegged its interest rates far below those of any other economy on the planet. At its peak in the summer of 2007, the “yen carry” trade grew in size to $1.2-trillion, providing the high-powered octane that pumped-up commodity and stock markets worldwide.

Silver's Turn to Shine / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Not that there's a link between the two, but as the legendary Peter Grandich celebrates his silver anniversary as a market commentator, he tells The Gold Report in this exclusive interview that having been left behind in the big run-up in gold, silver's time has come to steal the limelight for a while. Peter, who started publishing The Grandich Letter 25 years ago and this month celebrates his first anniversary as Agoracom's market analyst too, also considers the current stock market rally as a gift delivered in the eye of the storm. Longer term, he expects America's underlying economic problems to result in prolonged sagging trading performance such as Japan has experienced over the past 20 years. Accordingly, he's alerting investors "to remove their bullish hats if they're still wearing them." As Peter's motto goes, "It's better to be a live chicken versus a dead duck."
