Silver Close to Reversing to the Upside / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Clive_Maund
While silver has performed as predicted in the last update posted on 11th January and has broken to successive new lows as its correction has progressed, it does not now look like it will drop to the downside targets that we earlier projected. Instead it now looks like we are very close to a reversal to the upside.

Gold, Crude Oil, and the Contrarian Mindset / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: J_W_Jones
Over a month ago I began to issue a warning to traders and investors who were long precious metals that a possible correction was likely. Prices were overextended and nearly every 5 minutes a gold investment advertisement was appearing on my television. Additionally gold advertisements could be heard during commercial breaks of many right leaning radio talk show hosts, not that I listen to them or anything.

Bullish on Barrick Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The weakness in Barrick Gold Corporation (ABX) from its Dec high at 55.72 to yesterday's low at 45.75 (-18%) has returned the price structure to a critical convergent support area around 46.00-45.50. This represents the sharply rising 200 DMA, as well as the extension of the trendline across a series of 2009 and 2010 peaks (now serving as support) that cut across the price axis in the vicinity of 46.00-47.00.

By: The_Gold_Report

If anything, gold and silver equities are currently on sale. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Chris and Michael reveal some of their favorite gold and silver plays in Colombia and the Yukon.

Chinese Silver Demand Surges Incredible Four Fold in Just One Year / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold is flat and silver marginally lower despite dollar weakness this morning. Some market participants are blaming the precious metal sell off on speculation that China may take more monetary action to curb surging inflation. This is unlikely to be the reason for the sharp selloff, rather it looks like another paper driven sell off in the futures market by leveraged players on Wall Street with various motives.

Investors Should Bet on Uranium for 2011 / Commodities / Uranium
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The spot price of Uranium as reported by UXC.com, just hit $68/lb. It is up nearly 70% since June, but remains only half the level of its peak back in 2008. In the early phase of the commodity bull market, Uranium ran from $7/lb to $140/lb. Interest in uranium and the uranium stocks is picking up after a nearly 3-year long bear market. Uranium is an intriguing bet for 2011 and beyond because of the supply/demand situation and because of the value at the current price.

More Determined Bear Raids on Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jesse
More determined bear raids today, winnowing out the weak hands, the overleveraged, and the speculators. Look for silver to hold the most resilience and snapback on the shorts, as the shortage in wholesale supply continues to deepen.
Remember that January 26th is the option expiration at the Comex.

The Value Case for Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The prices for commodities can change quickly and wildly, and in many cases, investors can hold commodities for years without any realization of profits.
The wild cyclicality is what has kept many out of the commodities markets, and it is the reason why so many value investors choose to ignore commodities as a broad investment alternative. In respectful disagreement, making the case for a value investment in silver is a cakewalk at worst.

Silver Stockpiling Ahead of When M0 Becomes M2 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
Silver investors who have been stockpiling physical silver on massive global changes in monetary policy have been a bit ahead of themselves. While the fear of inflation exists in very broad detail, the realizations of inflation have yet to show themselves.

Rhodium Under Valued and has Low Correlation with Gold and Silver Trends / Commodities / Rhodium
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Rhodium Trading Thoughts is about timely and profitable trading of precious metals. We do not believe every turn in the market can be called. Our goal is that our recommendations should be profitable. Profits are the goals, not trades. Do not expect all recommendations to be profitable. No system can achieve that lofty goal. Our goal is simply to state whether conditions for a metal are favorable or not. Buy signals are issued when appropriate. These signals are generally speaking for day they are issued. If price remains below signal price, buying can be done. Do Not Buy signals are given when market is over bought, and buying is unwise. Blue triangles indicate an over bought condition. These would not be good times to buy, so they are labeled Do Not Buy. Software is not showing complete legend, for some reason.
