Gold Important Juncture, and the United States a Giant Ponzi Scheme? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Puru_Saxena

Let’s face it, the government-bond market in the West is a gigantic Ponzi scheme.  Most governments in the ‘developed’ world are drowning in debt, they are running mind-boggling budget deficits and printing money like there is no tomorrow.  Furthermore, under the guise of quantitative easing, their central banks are buying their own newly issued debt!

Chris Potter Eyes Opportunities in Appetites for Energy and Food / Commodities / Investing 2010

By: The_Energy_Report

For environmental, financial and political reasons—not to mention to satisfy an energy-hungry world—Northern Border Capital Management founder Chris Potter sees some interesting opportunities for investors in alternative fuels on the horizon. One of his picks is a company using plasma gasification technology to produce clean-burning fuels. In this exclusive Energy Report interview, Chris also explains why he's bullish on natural gas. Politically incorrect though natural gas may be, he isn't overly worried about North America's abundant supply finding a home. Agribusiness is yet another arena that appeals to Chris, from the potential for domestic potash production for Brazil's huge agricultural sector to the extraction of protein from canola seeds to help feed the planet's growing population.

Silver Elliott Wave Analysis and Forecast Update / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Alistair_Gilbert

This a brief follow up to my Report of 13th January advising a SELL of Silver at $18.52. Silver has since been sold down to $14.62 in Wave 3 of 1 of C of Major Wave 2.

In Wave 4 of 1 we can expect to see typically a retracement of Wave 3 of between 38.2% to 50%. This would give us a target of $16.25 for the 38.2% and $16.75 for a 50% retracement. Obviously the wave 4 retracement can halt anywhere between those two targets and given the pressure to the downside in wave 5 may even fall a bit short.

Have Gold, SIlver and Stocks Bottomed Yet? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Everyone is wondering if gold, silver and the indexes have bottomed after last week’s heavy selling. To put things into perspective there were over 30 sell orders for every 1 buy order at the NYSE. That is pure panic and to confirm extreme fear, several of my broker buddies said last week was crazy with clients demanding to liquidate their positions ASAP to be 100% in cash.

Gold Price Crash Forecast to $250 an Ounce / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: Mac_Slavo

The contrarian recommendation for gold since 2001 through today has been to buy. As capital was pumped into the economy via easy credit, the price of gold, stocks, real estate and most other assets rose significantly. The rise in prices is a causal effect of increased money supply and pulling forward spending via lax credit lending standards.

Gold Investors Sharpen Those Shoppertunistic Buying Skills / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010

By: The_Gold_Report

To borrow (and stretch) his metaphor from the healthcare arena, Casey Research Senior Editor Louis James sees the patient remaining in grave condition despite massive infusions and life-support systems running full throttle. In this Gold Report exclusive, Louis goes back to Economics 101 to argue that recovery calls for accumulating capital to invest—not amassing staggering debt and attempting to spend your way out of trouble. That said, though, sometimes buying is just what the doctor ordered. Gold going down? No worries. "It's a buying opportunity to take advantage of," Louis says. In fact, he suggests that investors hone their shoppertunistic buying skills, looking for chances to get in under market on equities when the inevitable fluctuations make you say, "Wow, I can't believe what a great deal this is!"
