U.S. Dollar Debt Tipping Point to Price Inflation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The USEconomy is bifurcated, with price inflation advancing on the cost side while price deflation harms on the asset side, to produce a nasty storm that is unlikely to abate. When high pressure zones clash with low pressure zones, hurricanes and tornadoes occur. Calling the resulting near 0% or low 2% price inflation on a net basis a good sign completely ignores the forces pulling the national economy apart. Economists prefer to view the landscape in aggregate, but they miss the picture composed of two important parts enduring very different forces. The financial sector has grotesquely grown, to an extreme.

Greece Exposes Future and Gold Opportunity / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
We are looking at a high probability of a rally in the gold price in the coming weeks which will spur gold stocks into upward motion yet again. This is suggested due to fundamental and technical reasons.

A Hard Look at Gold, Silver Premiums / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Lost in the daily commentary about gold and silver prices is the actual cost of taking possession of these precious metals. Unless you trade in paper GLD or SLV, or you store your bullion in overseas vaults with companies like Goldmoney, the actual cost to purchase gold and silver can diverge from the COMEX spot price by as much as 36% (as I will show below). We have analyzed the premiums for these two monetary metals over the past year and a half, and we hope to offer some perspective on "real" market prices.

The World According to Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
This past week saw the Euro edge just a little bit closer to oblivion with the petulant Greeks insinuating that they’ll default if they don’t get bailed out.
