Gold Disconnect / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Neil_Charnock
Gold now has an RSI reading of over 84 as I write this article; it is sitting just under US$1350 an ounce and it is very overbought. This is not to say it cannot get more overbought short term however it can indicate gold needs to take a breather very soon now. When fundamentals push additional cash flows along a trend the technicals will give way and reach extreme levels every time. We are more likely to see a price consolidation as that RSI cools off before it launches ahead again. Silver is agreeing with this scenario and so are the gold stocks. The AUD price of gold is currently $1377 which is well under the record highs reached in 2008 and the middle of this year.

The Secret Indicator That Points to Much Higher Crude Oil Prices / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Money_Morning
Kent Moors, Ph.D. writes: Crude oil has taken on a life of its own. As I have noted on several occasions, oil is both a commodity in wide demand and a financial asset in its own right.
In the former case, as a commodity, the so-called "wet" barrels (the actual oil) will respond to traditional marketplace pressures - particularly supply and demand.

Silver Blow Out, But Where To Buy? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bob_Clark
How to enter silver safely - If you have been following my posts on this site, you will know that I am a fan of silver. I have written a few articles about how I thought it would trade. Approximately 1 year ago in "Gold a recipe for disaster" I presented the argument that gold had just made an 8 year low when it went clunk in 2008 At that ime I said the metals would not top out the next move up until 2012 at the earliest.

Gold and Silver Breakout as Fascist Business Model Crumbles, Mortgage Market Fraud / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jim_Willie_CB
Some significant events are in progress, extremely important developments in the grand pathogenesis that reflects the deep decay and deterioration in the US financial structure. The most recent events pertaining to mortgage loans, home foreclosures, and disclosed fraud carry great potential to open extremely wide cracks in the American social order. Revealed systemic fraud is slowly coming into the open. Civil disobedience has already entered the arena of popular protest. However, the recent events surrounding illegal home foreclosure seizure of properties elevates the exposed fraud to a very clear high new level. This is a boil ready to break open, releasing financial puss.

Gold Crude Oil Ratio Signals and Latest QE Path / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Ashraf_Laidi
In my September 1st piece, I argued the importance of valuing Gold relative to Silver via the Gold/Silver ratio, concluding that gold will UNDERperfom silver despite its status in the limelight. Indeed, the G/S ratio has fallen 7% since the article, hitting a new 13-month low of 59.0. My case for "faster" gains in silver remain in place.

Turning Deflating Dollars Into Inflating Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
Isaac Newton gave us a fundamental law of physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. In the investment world, currency is the action. Since the US is still the biggest economic player, the US dollar moves everything. Some things have the same action as the dollar. Others are the opposite reaction of the change in the value of the dollar.

Connecting the Dots of Chinese Gold and Currency Reserves / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Daughty
Bill Bonner here at The Daily Reckoning is one of those guys who, for some reason, figures that we (represented, apparently, by me) are smart enough to "connect the dots," when some of us (again, me as "everyman") are obviously not smart enough to engage in such mental gymnastics.

Gold's Upside Assault on Japan's Renewed ZIRP / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Spot gold prices rocketed again in overnight trading, reacting to Bank of Japan's renewed ZIRP as a cue to investors to get out of very low or no rate of return investments into riskier ones! Gold certainly qualifies and also satisfies the desire to protect against an inflationary shock that likely is the light at the far end of the "tunnel," as well as against domestic and global political instability.

In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Byron shares several precious metals companies that are making important things and some juniors that are well on their way.
