Fed QE2 $600 Billion of Money Printing Over the Next Eight Months / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Gary_Dorsch
Crossing the Rubicon into the World of QE - “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” the brilliant Albert Einstein used to say. Imagine for just a moment that the Dow Jones Industrials has become a key instrument of national economic policy, and that by “actively managing” its direction, the Federal Reserve could impact the wealth of tens of millions of US households, and by extension, influence consumer confidence and spending. By ramping up the money supply, and slashing interest rates to zero percent, in order to inflate stock market bubbles, the Fed could in theory, fuel an economic rebound.

Invest in Gold with Mining ETFs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ron_Rowland
Do you like to dig? I have to admit, it’s not my favorite thing. But if I knew there was gold in the ground I might think differently.
In fact, there is gold in the ground — and plenty of other valuable minerals, too. The hardest part is finding it. However, the digging gets a lot easier when you know where to aim.

Gold and Financial Markets Inflation Die Was Cast Before the Elections / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
Regardless of who's controlling the U.S. Congress, Sprott Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist John Embry holds out little hope for economic happiness in the short run. As he tells The Gold Report in this exclusive interview, "It's consequence time" and "any opportunity to have a pleasant outcome. . .in the relatively near term is long gone." John's view of equity markets is equally dim as he foresees the U.S. plowing deeper into quantitative easing to postpone—and maybe even exacerbate—the inevitable. An exception, at least for the time being, may be in senior gold stocks, which he says, "have seldom been cheaper in relation to the price of gold."

Gold and Silver Become Polarizing / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
To many in the banking and investing community, precious metals were the red headed stepchild. While they were easily accessible and extraordinarily undervalued, no one seemed to pay either gold or silver much attention. Until recently, when both have forged new highs, the opinions on each grow distant. The polarization from such “authorities” on the markets is overwhelming.

Fed Beneficiaries Getting Soaked on Gold Futures Options / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The largest beneficiaries of rampant quantitative easing and destructive monetary policy are those who can borrow at the most wholesale level of the financial system.

How to Trade Gold Options Using Calendar Spreads / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: J_W_Jones
Most market participants are aware that precious metals have been on fire rocketing higher only to consolidate briefly, gap higher, and leave slowly reacting traders in the dust. The parabolic moves in gold and silver have many potential connotations, but great traders respect price action as the final arbiter and adapt. Since the financial crisis began, many traders have evolved into reactionary lemmings.

Gold Standard Manifesto / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
A great quote from William Osler typifies the evolution of our current monetary system. He said: “The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow.”
Decades and centuries ago, no one would have done without a hard money standard. The founders wrote in the Constitution that only Gold and Silver could be legal tender. Today our fiat monetary system is firmly in place. Although it has wrecked a once healthy economy, you’d be considered a pagan in mainstream academia if you wanted to abolish it in favor of the gold standard.

Gold Expected to Peak at Around $1500 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Banister
Regular readers of my articles on Gold over the past few years know that I have a theory on this Gold Bull market. In summary, it’s that we are in a 13 Fibonacci year uptrend that started in 2001, and now we are in the final 4 years of that uptrend. It is in this last 5 year window that I theorized started in August of 2009 that investors really get involved. As the crowd comes in, prices push higher and higher, and then more and more investors come in and so forth.

Fed Creates Parabolic Move In Gold And Silver, Climax Top? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeb_Handwerger
After trading through both bull and bear markets and witnessing hysterias and panics I have learned that whatever method you use to buy stocks, you must have a discipline to sell. When I buy I look for support levels and oversold conditions so that a reversal could bring about a major gain and the downside risk is calculated. As I wrote in my buy signal in gold in late July, the conditions were ideal for a major move to the upside. Now the conditions are reaching the extreme opposite, it is overbought and surpassing measured moves and upper resistance lines which mark prior turning points.Read full article...
