Gold and Silver Deeper Correction Due? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The rise in the gold price has continued and shown a break up above the trend line. This has always been a sign that the gold, silver prices have 'spiked'. This has always been a signal to be ready to take profits and be ready to go back in lower down.
This was a correct approach and we do not argue with the logic; however, a change is happening in precious metal markets. Over the last few weeks gold has run ahead but it has seen brief and shallow corrections until this last week when traders and speculators caused a 'spike' to $1.910, before an equally dramatic fall back to $1,716. This is not the sort of correction we are discussing here. The speed and extent of the correction did not reflect the market fundamentals.

Stocks at Rock Bottom, Gold at Top, Is a Bigger Correction Underway? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
To quote Charles Dickens, this week was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
This week Quaddafi was finally cast out, Dominique Strauss Kahn was cleared, Japans’ credit rating was cut, Washington quaked and everyone waited with bated breath for the words from Jackson Hole, WY.

The Silver Tide is about to Rise / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Bob_Kirtley
Silver has now been through a correction and consolidation phase and is all set for the next leg up. We’ll start with a quick look at the chart. First of all please note that the gap between the price of silver and the 200dma has closed considerably as this moving average heads north in support of silver prices. The RSI is now ‘middle of the road’ at 54.39 with room to go either way, however, we expect silver to move higher from here.

Gold and Silver - The Cure for Panic and Anxiety / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: George_Maniere
There is something going on in the United States. I can’t quite put my finger on it but there seems to be a change in the attitude of the people. There is a pervasive sense of panic that has permeated every part of our society. I think that our citizens have come to the realization that we have come to a point that unless there are drastic actions taken by our leaders, our great nation is in for a systemic failure. I base this feeling I have on watching the tape and noticing a pattern of heavy selloffs, large purchases of gold and silver, a constant bombardment from the media that we are in serious trouble with the amount of debt we have amassed, growing unemployment, low wage menial jobs and big banks teetering on the brink. To emphasize my point on the banks we need look no further than Bank of America’s CEO Brian Moynihan saying that the bank was well capitalized and then selling Warren Buffet 5 billion dollars of preferred shares of stock. “Something ain’t right in Kansas, Dorothy!”Read full article...

Investor Interest in U.S. Biofuel Production Set to Soar / Commodities / Ethanol
By: OilPrice_Com
On 16 August President Obama announced that the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Energy and Navy will invest up to $510 million by 2014 in partnership with the private sector to produce advanced "drop-in" aviation and maritime biofuels for military and commercial use. This builds on a directive Obama issued five months ago as part of his "Blueprint for A Secure Energy Future," his administration's policy for reducing U.S. dependence on foreign oil imports, which now cost more than $300 billion.

Will Gold Become Collateral for a Euro Zone Bailout? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Eric_McWhinnie
“Gold is Money. Everything else is credit.” -J.P. Morgan
Although Ben Bernanke says gold is not money, countries around the world sure are treating it as such. Last week, Hugo Chavez announced he was nationalizing Venezuela’s entire gold industry. Furthermore, the central bank of Venezuela has sent a statement via email requesting its 99 tons of gold holdings from the Bank of England. Gold is not only seen as currency by many, but also as a valuable hedge. Now, in exchange for bailout assistance, Germany is looking to hedge bailout repayment risk with gold.

Buy Gold Price Dip With Both Hands / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jason_Hamlin
After making a new all-time high above $1,900, gold has plunged by $170 or roughly 9% in the past few days. Many factors have been blamed including the CME margin hike of 27%, money moving back into stocks or simple profit taking by funds to rebalance their portfolios after such a strong move. Others point to the routine take down of precious metals just prior to futures/options expiration.

Hedge Higher Food Prices by Investing in Corn / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Money_Morning
David Zeiler writes:
A smaller-than-expected U.S. fall harvest, combined with strong demand, has sown the seeds of higher corn market prices. That will inflate your grocery bill, but it's also an investing opportunity that should persist into next year according to some experts.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently reduced its forecast for the fall corn crop to 12.9 billion bushels from 13.5 billion based on damage from spring flooding and summer drought in several key corn-producing states.

Gold Sell-Off, Now What? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Willem_Weytjens
After reaching an all-time high well above $1,900 earlier this week, gold is now about $200 lower, just two days later.
We have been saying more than once that we should expect these kind of volatile moves in a parabolic end phase. The difficulty of parabolic moves, is to guess when it pops, and to get a chair before the music stops playing, because WHEN it pops (it always does at some point), the move down is very violent, like we have seen over the last 2 days.
