Gold, What’s More Important, Price Per Ounce or Ounces Owned? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeff_Clark

Gold Euro Record Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
After spending our entire lives in a dollar-dominated world, we Americans naturally view gold through a dollar-centric lens. We assume the gold charts we’re seeing are universal. But this isn’t the case, as investors around the globe view gold in their own local currencies. Recent developments in euro gold highlight the importance of keeping this truth in mind.

By: DailyWealth
Back in December, I got spooked about gold...

Why is the Gold Price Rising Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The piece we wrote on gold de-coupling from the $:€ exchange rate proved absolutely correct. The action of the last week has shown that as gold rose strongly in the € in the pound and is moving up in the $ alongside most currencies. More than that, market commentators are now mentioning this too. But this action involves far more than these two main currencies.

Penny Mining Shares, U.S. Dollar and Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Dudley_Baker
Penny mining shares are poised for incredible gains in the next 12 – 18 months. But before we discuss the details we believe it is necessary to lay a foundation with a brief discussion of the U.S. Dollar and gold.
Seems the world is fixated on the U.S. Dollar and many see it going substantially higher. In our opinion, the charts do not support that conclusion and we see the dollar having topped out and now heading lower.

Winning the Energy Investing Game with Zero-Risk Capital / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
"In this game," according to Marin Katusa, senior editor of Casey's Energy Report, "you only get profits when you sell." The zero-capital investing philosophy he advocates wins the hearts and lines the pockets of investors. At the same time, though, it often puts him in the doghouse with some the companies and people he admires most. That's because following this strategy, you a) recoup your original investment once your stock rises, b) pull your original investment out, and then c) return for more when the price dips to the point that the company becomes an undervalued bargain. In addition to learning more about the Casey Free Ride approach and Marin's current energy sector views, get an early glimpse of the European shale plays that have captured his fancy in this exclusive Energy Report interview.

Don't Let Analysts Skew Your Metals Portfolios / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
No longer favoring the US dollar, the Chinese government increased its holdings of gold from 600 tonnes in 2003 to 1,054 tonnes in 2009. This month, rumors began circulating that the Chinese government may indeed purchase from the IMF 191.3 tonnes of gold.

Metal Tiger… / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: HRA_Advisory
A sign of the times is seen in the deal the CME Group (CME-N), umbrella for the Chicago and NYMEX commodity bourses, is buying 90% of the Dow Jones index system from News Corporation (NWS-Q). The traditional newspaper business is having a tough go competing with the internet, which prompts the sale. One could argue this is another example of the commodities space taking up some of the ground opened by the past decade’s bear market for equities.

By: OilPrice_Com
With Yemen’s oil revenues plunging, the government’s push into the gas market seemed like an economic saving grace for a state wracked by poverty and terrorism, but analysts warn more thought should be given to carving out the country's post-petroleum era.

By: Gary_Savage
Since March of 2001, the stock market has been and continues to be in a secular bear market. Beginning in March 2009, stocks have been in a cyclical bull market. This means our current stock market is in a relatively short term bull rally within a much longer term secular bear market decline.
The current rally will serve to separate the second phase of the secular bear from the third and potentially most damaging leg down in the ongoing bear market.

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
We've started our previous essay, by describing several interesting facts about the U.S. Dollar. We wrote the following:
We've recently read something (http://www.lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis179.html) that can elucidate the enormous, almost incomprehensible, size of the U.S. government debt. The numbers are so huge that it is difficult for most people to get a handle them.
