Gold Relativity Trading, Buy Low, Sell High / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Zeal_LLC
The ultimate key to success in all trading, both long-term investment and short-term speculation, is simple. Buy low, sell high. Excel in this, and trading the financial markets will eventually make you wealthy. But implementing this well-known proverb into your own trading certainly isn’t easy. As always, the devil is in the details.

Peak Oil, The Truth About Energy / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Puru_Saxena
After oscillating within a trading range for several weeks, the price of crude oil has recently broken out to a new recovery high. Now, you will recall that we have been firm believers of ‘Peak Oil’ since 2003 and we were expecting this bullish resolution.
Look. Sceptics can say what they want; it does not change the fact that our world is struggling to maintain daily flow-rates. Whether you agree with us or not, the energy reality is that the supply of conventional crude oil is very close to its peak and no other fuel source can fix the problem.

Gold and Silver the Final Blast-Off? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
At this point, I am a little reluctant to state this is the final blast-off and that we will not see gold below US$1,000 ever again. Certainly the percentages are with the precious metals investors and it seems gold has nowhere to go but up. As we know, you’re at a level that has been resistance in the past ($1,000), and that area has been resistance for gold for quite some time. And once that level is penetrated for three days in a row then you have a strong probability that the trend is going to continue. In fact, we alerted our subscribers to that very fact!

Renewable Energy Investing, Magma Heating up Geothermal Space / Commodities / Renewable Energy
By: The_Energy_Report
Today, geothermal represents a tiny piece of the global energy mix, but it is growing rapidly in some western U.S. states and more than 20 other countries where the ground is literally hottest. According to the Canadian Geothermal Energy Association, global geothermal production may triple over the next 10 to 30 years as demand for clean power increases. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, entrepreneur extraordinaire Ross J. Beaty talks about how he intends to offer investors a heretofore unavailable opportunity to ride that growth wave, what sparked his interest in the geothermal arena, and where he sees many similarities between mining for metals and capturing the energy from the magma beneath the earth's crust. (Hot water and steam from the magma are piped to the surface to drive turbines to generate electricity). Ross, who has earned himself a sterling reputation and world renown for scratch-building wealth-creating resource companies, is applying his considerable expertise and team of experts to a new enterprise, Magma Energy Corp. The company just went public in a heavily oversubscribed IPO in July.

Specifically, here is what has happened to the GLD bar list which is published each Friday at approximately 4:30 pm EST. An alert reader I communicate with [who shall remain anonymous] has been documenting the length of the published GLD bar list:

Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
Washington continues to believe that the U.S. dollar is a weapon and most of the G8 is playing along. They simply can’t see – or won’t acknowledge – where the dollar is actually headed, even though the evidence is right before their eyes.

Gold Falls Hard as British Pound Surges Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD fell sharply on Thursday morning in London, losing 2% from yesterday's new record high to unwind all of the week's gains-so-far for Dollar investors.
European shares ticked lower and New York equity futures pointed down after the Dow Jones index closed last night above the 10,000 level for the first time in 12 months.

Gold and Gold Stocks to Benefit from Current Economic and Political Climate / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Neil_Charnock
Gold and gold stocks are going to continue to benefit from the current economic and political climate. This opinion is based on what I consider to be the true state of the global economy and other prevailing head winds. Martin Hutchinson penned a great article “When Money Becomes Worthless” promoted on GATA this morning (I got it via Chris Mullen’s Gold-Seeker email update service) and posted at the PrudentBear.com.

The U.S. Dollar Gold Inverse Relationship / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Miles_Banner
For the past week the price of gold has performed well. It has maintained its historic high and risen fairly sharply after breaking the $1000 mark. The main reason gold has performed well is because of its inverse relationship with the US dollar. Time and again we see any weakness in the dollar play itself out in the strength of the gold price.

Gold Gives Another Strong Mega-Trend Buy Signal / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Claus_Vogt
In my September 9 Money and Markets column I showed you this gold chart: On that date, I said, “This breakout of a huge triangle is a clear technical buying signal.” I added that the minimum price target of this triangle formation was roughly $1,100. This was well above major resistance in the $1,000 area, thus hinting that another major breakout and buying signal would take place soon.

Commodities Trading Charts for GLD, SLV, UNG and USO / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Commodities and stocks have been on fire the past two weeks and I think it just may be time for things to take a breather. While I continue to stay long, taking some money off the table to lock in profits is a safe play.
Just from a quick glance at the charts we can tell the odds are pointing to some type of pause or pullback in the coming days. I figure any day now we could see some profit taking.

Awaiting Entry Point on DIG Ultra Long Oil and Gas ETF / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The oil and gas sector finally is on the move, perhaps in reaction to the decline of the dollar (commodity relationship). Since last Friday, the Proshares UltraLong Oil & Gas Sector ETF (NYSE: DIG) climbed from 34.00 to 36.32, or +6.8%. More importantly, the rally off of the October 2 low at 29.13 also broke above a ONE YEAR RESISTANCE plateau at the 34.00 level as well, which has measured upside potential targets of 44.50 and 51.00.
