By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It took a few days for the market to understand the impact of the Indian Reserve Bank's purchase of 200 tonnes of the I.M.F.'s gold sale of 403.3 tonnes, but eventually the market did respond. Since then, one of several announcements has been made, concerning the balance of 200.3 tonnes still being sold.

Gold Stocks and GLD ETF Popularity / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold’s amazing run since September has mainstream analysts, who are normally gold-haters, lauding its virtues. All of a sudden gold is now an integral asset that all investors should own. Why this quick shift of opinion? Big developments on the fundamental front (that did not come as surprises to informed investors like our newsletter subscribers), coupled with a run of 22 new all-time nominal highs, can change one’s mindset rather quickly.

By: Mac_Slavo
The city-state of Dubai announced yesterday that they would not be able to pay the interest on their debt.

By: Seven_Days_Ahead
Price swings over the last few months have kept the charts in consolidation mode, below a long term key Fibo resistance level. Recent losses have temporarily tilted the scales more in favour of the bears, but losses should prove temporary in the grander scheme of things.

Speculation, Denial, and Gold's Parabolic Rise and Fall? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: J_Derek_Blain
Last article I covered the philosophy of gold and why that itself must change in the mind of the general public before we can see a real bull market. The arguments are here, and though the angry gold-bug letters calling for $10,000 / oz gold in 6 months continue to pour in, I have also received a few "hmmm, I never looked at this gold bull market like that before" emails which puts a smile on my face.
After all, at Investophoria we aren't just into helping ourselves, but educating would-be and professional investors alike with the "other side of the trade".

Investors Buy Gold As Central Banks on Course to Crash World Economy / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Bob_Chapman
Investors buy gold when there is inflation and when there is a flight to quality. They buy gold when they no longer trust currencies, due to government or central bank profligacy. Due to those and other reasons gold has broken out to new highs. It could well be that gold may never see $1,000 again. Long ago the world’s central banks set the course for a planned collapse of the world economy to implement world government and there is now no turning back. We have proof stretching back to 1965 that intervention by the Treasury and the Fed was taking place in the gold market.

Gold and the United States Lost Stock Market Investment Decade / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Investmentscore.com
As we enter a new decade we are compelled to point out what, in our opinion, is the “Lost Decade” of the United States. The financial media, brokerage houses and advisors have done a good job promoting the opportunity of owning US Equities, and as a result the average investor continues to wait and hope that their cookie cutter, simplistic investment strategies will provide for their future.

Weak U.S. Dollar Boosts Commodities, What’s Next? / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Another fantastic week for precious metals as the US dollar continues its slide lower. Energy commodities like oil and natural gas are having some difficulty finding buyers.
When commodities start to trend they become very profitable for those riding them up or down. But when a short term trend starts to virtually go straight up (parabolic) then we must be prepared for a sharp pullback. Once the price starts to slide I figure a lot of short term traders will begin locking in profits, sending gold down.

By: Lorimer_Wilson
Arnold Bock writes: We are staring at a nascent but potentially and probably startling increase in the price of gold and precious metals mining stocks and warrants.
