By: Mark_OByrne

Gold leapt from its session low of $884.10/oz to a high of $946.20/oz, a jump of nearly 7 per cent and silver also surged some 7%.

Gold About to Burst Out of Its Recent Trading Range / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Brodrick writes: My friend Kevin just regaled me with a story about his trip to the mall — a guy was there handing out plastic bags for people to use to turn in their gold for cash. “Holy cow!” Kevin said. “It was like a mobile pawn shop.”
Kevin resisted the urge to run home, find his gold and sell it to the plastic-bagger at the mall. You see, Kevin is a smart cookie and knows a thing or two about gold. He's a buyer, not a seller, of gold coins.

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Investing 2009: Brace for Spring Meltdown, Unpredictable Summer and Ferocious Fall / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Last October, while the shock waves of the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history still reverberated around the world, Trader Tracks Editor Roger Wiegand shared some thoughts with The Gold Report. In what has turned out to be an eerie understatement, he told us, “The American public herd is moving beyond being just nervous. Now they are getting scared. There is real fear in the air with inflation, massive job cuts and a drumbeat of bad news.” Not quite six months later—when many of his peers say the worst is behind us after all, the Dow regained 11% in roughly three days last week—Roger is among those waiting for the other proverbial shoe(s) to drop.

Gold and Gold Stocks Behaviour During Deflation and Inflation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
I've heard more than a few pundits question an investment in gold or gold stocks in the current environment. They point to deflation and the lack of inflation in the foreseeable future as reasons why precious metals should be avoided. Sounds intelligent on the surface but it reveals to this analyst, a lack of any thought and analysis. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Buying Opportunity Of A Lifetime / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Opportunity and crisis are uneasy handmaidens in times of danger; and, while crises may increase, opportunities are always rare.
The world is in the grip of an unprecedented crisis. Unlimited credit has now turned into its deadly nemesis, unlimited defaulting debt; and whereas only some of us were its beneficiaries, all of us will be its victims—all of us, except the very few.

Gold Buy Signal as Price Weakness an Opportunity to Accumulate / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Ultimately, supply has to equal demand. That reality most of us accept. We can, for example, only consume the amount of adult beverage residing in the refrigerator. Once we have done so, no level of wishing will provide any adult beverages. In a fair world, too, we would all have the same amount of adult beverages in our refrigerator at any point in time. And as we write those words, we wonder why government does not do something about adult beverage inequality. And as we wrote those words, second thoughts developed. Any attempt by governments to redress adult beverage inequality would result in all having less adult beverages. Certainly, that would be undesirable. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Pullback an Opportunity to Accumulate / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
As of this moment, despite the weakness in spot gold prices and the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE: GLD) this morning, the near and intermediate-term technical conditions of the market are relatively strong. After last week's $50 upmove, the $25 giveback (at this morning's low of $915.30) reflects a “normal” correction within an otherwise bullish market environment. Read full article...

By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD slipped 1% early Monday in London, falling alongside the US Dollar as world stock markets jumped. By lunchtime in London, the FTSE100 index stood back at this month's opening level – and more than 9% above the six-year low hit on March 5th – after the weekend's G20 meeting of leading policy-makers agreed a rough plan for buying up "impaired assets" from international finance houses.Read full article...

Gold and U.S. Dollar Trends Set to Diverge / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
Both the US $ and the price of gold have been in a rally mode for the past few months. Both are now taking a rest. However, the big difference is that the momentum for gold is still quite positive while that for the US $ is most definitely weakening. Something's gotta give and my money is on the US $ continuing to slide from here and gold to turn around back to the up side. Read full article... Read full article...

Chemistry Looks Good for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, geologist Joseph M. Foster—a Van Eck Associates portfolio manager who also leads its International Investors Gold Fund—sees nothing but good news for gold in the months and years to come. Joe isn't holding his breath for mania to set in, but he does see a mix blending that will get gold “firing on all cylinders.” Once a declining dollar, increasing inflation and an improving economy fill the combustion chamber, all it will take is a sustained spark of optimism for gold to forge ahead.

Silver SLV ETF / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
Recently (3-07-09) I was interviewed on Financial Sense Online , and the discussion revolved around the Silver Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). Mr. Jim Puplava, who hosts the show, asked some piercing questions about the gold and silver ETFs.
Something Jim and I discussed was that Barclays changed the words in the original prospectus from “Silver Bullion” to just “Silver,” which reading as a lawyer would, begs the question Why? To me it implies there might be other silver investments that count but are not necessarily bullion.

Commodities Bubble Or Credit Bubble? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Investmentscore.com
In the spring of 2008 oil tumbled from a high of $148 per barrel to $36 a barrel in December, and the commodities bubble was deemed popped. Gold dropped, silver fell roughly 58% from its high and palladium fell a remarkable 72% etc. But was this the result of a commodities bubble popping or could it possibly have been a credit bubble burst which happened to dramatically affect the price of commodities? This is important to understand in order for investors to determine where value is for future growth. Read full article... Read full article...
