Now is the Season for Investing in Gold-mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Money_Morning
Jon D. Markman writes:
If you're not investing in gold-mining stocks now, you should be.
Why now?
Analysts at TIS Group reminded me last week that not only are gold-mining stocks very cheap now versus gold bullion, but this also happens to be the best time of the year to buy the stocks.

Gold and Silver Stocks Maintain Long-Term Support / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Now that we are past the Fed circus we can get back to reality. But what is reality? Is it inflation? Deflation? A repeat of 2008? What matters is the message of the markets and the correct interpretation of the message. With regards to the mining stocks we are seeing a stark contrast relative to the rest of the stock market. This positive divergence has been strengthening and remains well intact despite Thursday’s sudden Fed-induced selloff.

Diversify Out of Gold, Silver Developing a Serious Problem / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Captain of the ship spoke sternly to the Chief Steward, "Red chairs on the port side, and blue ones on starboard." Such started a typical, icy cold morning on the Titanic. We imagine that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve likewise spoke sternly this week to the committee, "We will buy some blue ones and sell some red ones."

How Long Might It Take to Get Rich from Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, Casey Research writes:
Let’s just admit it: we’re invested in gold stocks not just to make money, but for the chance to change our lifestyles. And with their lackadaisical year-to-date performance, one may begin to wonder if they’re still going to bring the magic.

Is This How the Gold Bull Market Ends? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Adrian_Ash
Remember Lehmans? Even the smart people get whacked in a financial crash...
PEOPLE THINK the gold price always goes up in a crisis, right until they find out it doesn't. And the reason that this now feels so much like the Lehmans collapse of three years ago is that, looking at the numbers alone, you'd think it was autumn 2008.

Gold Wave 4 Correction Continues / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: David_Banister
I got a bit of hate e-mail over the last few weeks from the Gold Bugs who thought I didn’t know what I was talking about when I forecasted a multi-month consolidation and correction in Gold was imminent. I’ve written ad nauseum about crowd behavioral patterns as they related to both stock markets and precious metals. It should not come as a surprise that Gold is continuing to drop after a 34 Fibonacci month rally from $681 to $1910 per ounce. That rally came in five clear Elliott Waves and ended with a parabolic race to the top. I consistently warned my subscribers and readers of my articles about not being caught holding the bag and to take defensive measures.

What a Major Banking Crisis Would Do To the Gold Price? Part II / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
In the first part of this series of articles we pointed out the developing banking crisis and why we felt that was happening. When and how gold will have a central bank-approved role depends on the political agenda on both sides of the Atlantic. Commercial banks are already harnessing their gold to lower the cost and availability of international loans! Since the first part of this essay, there have been dramatic banking developments. Each of these has brought gold close to the day when it will have an active role in the global monetary system.

Why Oil Prices Not Debt Will Be Europe's Next Big Worry / Commodities / Crude Oil

Dr. Kent Moors writes:
As I met with the Polish officials last Friday in Krakow to begin government sessions on shale gas policy, and European Union (EU) ministers met in the southwestern city of Wrocław, Poland, thoughts turned once again to oil pricing.

Indian Rupee vs. Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Investors shouldn’t forget one of the best sources of demand for silver and gold—India. Gold was always a historically important commodity in India, where it’s seen as a store of wealth. Silver, on the other hand, rose mostly as a necessary “poor man’s” entry into precious metals, which have risen far faster than wages in most of the emerging market economies.

By: Adrian_Ash
Plenty of reasons to be cautious were flagged up in today's "Bubble or Not?" debate...
LOTS MORE to share from the second and last day of this year's LBMA Annual Conference here in Montreal. But the red-eye for London won't wait, not with Air Canada cabin staff starting a strike at midnight.

Gold GDX Has Given Us a Nice Secondary Buy Point / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
There has been a growing numbers of investing experts have been declaring that gold is a bubble: an insanely overvalued asset whose price is bound to burst.
I believe that there is no basis for that opinion. Understanding why I feel this way can help point an investor toward clearer thinking about the frenzied precious metal markets.

Gold and Silver Miners Beginning To Outperform Bullion / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
There has been short term profit taking in gold over the past few weeks as investors return to an oversold equity market. Make no mistake such a development is temporary and healthy as GST believes gold prices will make it back to the $1900+ area. It is important that our comments be clearly understood. As the Gold ETF(GLD) hit our overbought targets we moved laterally into our mining selections, which were just on the cusp of upside breakouts after several months of consolidation.

Gold Stocks Escape Velocity / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Neil_Charnock
I have been tracking the gold stocks since gold began to rise in 2001. I am a self-confessed screen jockey so I have seen every phase, quirk, lull and rocket ride this sector has had to offer over since it all began. I love the markets. There have been exciting explosive rallies for gold stocks; a new one has been long overdue. I have watched, analysed and successfully traded this Gold Bull Market (GBM) since it started therefore I hope am well qualified to bring you a valid point of view and an important message.
