Gold September Trend Forecast For Huge Rally Following Mid Month Low / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Like the song says - See you in September - the ninth month has notoriously been the strongest calendar month for gold. Rather than accept this blindly as Gospel Truth, we have decided to delve into this in detail to see what factors could be used to explain this phenomenon. After all, statistics can sometimes be misleading, for instance if someone owns a dog that does not mean that they both on average have three legs.

Three Ways to Profit From Silver's Looming Bull Market Breakout / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Money_Morning
JACK BARNES writes: It's the last major commodity to enjoy a true price breakout, and it's already doing so in a foreign currency.

Gold Strong in All Currencies, a Whisker from New Intra Day Record Dollar High / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold rose again yesterday and had a new record daily high close (nominal) as renewed concerns about European banks and sovereigns led to a flight to the relative safety of US Treasuries, German bunds, the yen and the Swiss franc. Gold also rose in yen and Swiss franc terms yesterday showing that it is increasingly trading as a currency rather than a commodity. Gold surged in the euro and is again challenging the €1,000/oz level.

Recession, Depression, or Recovery, Gold Continues to Boom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Q1_Publishing
As gold nears new all-time highs, a minority of investors is in it, more are waiting for a dip, and most will miss out on it altogether. Well, until the top when everyone will be herding into it.
The case for gold is a simple one. But today we’ll look at why the gold boom has much more room to run and how historical evidence shows there isn’t much time to “weight” to get in.

This year's bumper gold-mining deals come as big discoveries have gone missing in gold...
WHATEVER'S LURKING in Andean Resource's data room – opened to suitors for two years, but now closed after GoldCorp trumped Eldorado's US$3.3bn bid – it must be pretty spectacular.

Central Banks Coded Messages to Buy More Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Daughty
Bloomberg.com had the headline "Bank of Korea 'Under Pressure' to Boost Gold Holdings, Shinhan's Oh Says," which was perfectly understandable, although I have no idea what "Shinhan's Oh Says" means.
I suspect that Shinhan is some guy who just found out that purposely not buying gold is a really stupid idea, and who, upon realization of his rookie-like mistake, said, "Oh!"

What Will Happen to Gold in a Very Slow Economic Recovery? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The Present Situation - The 'better-than-expected' poor employment figures of last week were generally taken as a sign that the recovery is there, but L-shaped with a slightly rising bias. The new stimuli from government will be positive and hitting where they should. Tax breaks on new equipment and infrastructural development tastes the same as digging holes and filling them in did in the 1930's. We have to wait and see if the economy will respond. We sincerely hope it will. But do investors even in the U.S. believe that a recovery will see a fall in the gold price? We think not! Read full article... Read full article...

By: Richard_Mills
Investors are starting to realize that gold is a storehouse of value and a safe haven in times of turmoil. Gold’s price has risen because of the abuse and mismanagement of our monetary and currency systems - throughout history, gold has always shone the brightest when trust breaks down, confidence falls and fear climbs.

The One Thing That Could Tank Gold Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: D_Sherman_Okst
As I dug deeper into the inner workings of the economy I became convinced that most of it was – like the housing industry – a house of cards.
Diversification for me boiled down to just a few things that I can have faith in. I'm not alone in this camp, I've heard Eric Sprott speak about this as well.

Gold Continuing Rally or Inevitable Correction? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
"The European Union is dying – not a dramatic or sudden death, but one so slow and steady that we may look across the Atlantic one day soon and realize that the project of European integration that we've taken for granted over the past half-century is no more."
With these dramatic words begins a eulogy of the European Union in a Washington Post article.
