By: Neil_Charnock
News just to hand informs me that Spain is just about to do a “Greece” as their banking system is without funding. In the end this is not about maintaining global growth or the European Union it is about the survival of the financial system as we know it during this major historic transition.

Gold Remains Firm on Geopolitical Risks and Fears of a 'Perfect Storm' / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold's safe haven qualities are again being seen after its higher close yesterday despite falling US equity indices and it remaining robust today (down 0.4% in USD terms) despite sharp falls in Asian and European indices. Some analysts are warning of a "perfect storm" that could again destabilise the global financial and economic system. While "perfect storm" talk may be hyperbole there can be little doubt that the many extreme headwinds have led to a degree of risk similar to that seen after the collapse of Lehman Brothers.

Holding Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
"We're seeing gold actually rise in all currencies. That seems to be a reflection of the concern and distrust for central bank authorities, political authorities and what's going in the world that we're living in," says Doug Groh, senior research analyst with the Tocqueville Gold Fund in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report. The fund is almost 10% bullion, which Groh says dampens the volatility of the fund's other holdings. He holds gold and thinks you should, too.

Gold Sell in May and Go Away, Will Summer Doldrums Knock the Gold Price? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The global gold market has always seen India as the largest individual source of demand for gold. It has reached 850 tonnes in the best years and even in the worst years has been over 300 tonnes. It has been possible to track the seasonality of this demand fairly easily during this time. This demand has been labeled as Jewelry demand, we believe wrongly. But this title helps us to understand the Indian market for gold. Indian gold demand is centered on the family, the strongest of Hindu India’s institutions.

How Low Will Silver Go? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeff_Clark
Jeff Clark, Casey’s Gold & Resource Report :
We released our 2010 Silver Buying Guide last week and the silver price promptly cratered. So does this change our view of gold’s shiny cousin? Hardly. While industrial uses comprise about half (53%, according to GFMS) of silver’s demand, making it susceptible to bigger falls than gold in a weak economy, it is equally clear silver also responds well to inflation, as well as serious financial “dislocations” (to put it nicely).

Gold Trend Forecast to $1,350 then Crash to $1,000 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Captain_Hook
The Pathology of the Bureaucracy - What would you say if it was suggested that our business and political leaders, the larger bureaucracy, and their market managers were all acting in an increasingly irrational fashion, and are exacerbating negative long-term effects with all their meddling in things they should better leave alone, those being any market they decide to manipulate for whatever reason. Would you say that one sentence sums up a large part of the condition our condition is in without naming all the names, politics, etc. as none of this really matters in the end?
