Greeks Paying the Price for Worshiping the Keynesian False God / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The Greeks are learning the tough consequences of worshiping a false god. For years they sought the blessing of Keynesianism, only now to find it comes with a price. Keynes introduced the notion of government debt as salvation, the road to prosperity. Issue debt, and you will prosper.

Gold Price in No Mans Land / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold is in what I call “No Mans Land”. It is one of the most difficult situations to be in as there are equal number of Gold bears and bugs around. Mind you Gold bugs: Bears have their case and it is not as bad as it looks like for the bears.
But I personally think the bugs have a stronger case and will ultimately win but not as emphatically as they are expecting it to be. For example a $5000 /ounce is out of question!

My demonstration will take approximately three minutes. For skeptics, it may take five minutes.

Gold Stocks Analysis and its Usefulness For Precious Metals Investors / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
In our previous essays we have covered the situation on the USD, gold and silver markets, but since there's more to the precious metals sector than just these two metals, we have decided to supplement the previous analysis by covering the precious metals stocks. If you are interested in trading gold and silver only, you might want to reconsider before clicking that X in your web browser's window - after all, precious metals stocks are highly correlated with the metals, and they even used to lead the metals in the past. Consequently, even if you are not interested in trading or investing in the PM stocks, you might still benefit by analyzing this part of the sector.
