Gold and Silver 2009 Top Already Or Just a Local Top? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
This week we have seen gold and silver move lower, just like I mentioned a week ago. Gold closed the week below $1000, and silver topped exactly in tune with the cycles that I mentioned in the previous essay. Where do we go from here and how fast? Let’s take a closer look on charts (courtesy of http://stockcharts.com) and see what may be waiting just around the corner.

For the past two months, the price of oil has ping-ponged back and forth between $65 and $75 per barrel. By the look of the following chart, though, it's about to break out of that price range...

Prepare for Panic Buying in the World's Most Despised Asset / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GrowthStockWire
Jeff Clark writes: Evolution takes a long time.
Scientists figure it took about 5 million years for Australopithecus to lift his shoulders, raise his head, and lose enough back hair to evolve into the modern man. Who knows what is in store for our species over the next 5 million years? The only certain thing is none of us will be around to see it.

Gold Stocks Caution Warranted / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo
Gold was down -16.70 (-1.66%) to close at $990.90 on the continuous contract. The short term chart below shows gold’s recent breakout and pullback, as it sits perched on top of horizontal support.
As of now this appears to be a short term pull-back, but there is some evidence that something more could be underway. Gold needs to hold support here.

Gold Fails to Break to New Highs, What's It Waiting For? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
The latest thrust didn’t quite make it into new all time high territory. What is it waiting for? Gaddafi talked, Ahmadinejad smiled, Chavez smelled, Obama whined and throughout it all Medvedev must have been smirking. What more is there to get gold screaming into new highs?

Gold to Usher in Brave New World / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Vaughn
“You Lie!” - Looks like US politics are starting to heat up a bit.
The nation deserves a little excitement. Clinton was a lot of fun but George just seemed to put us all to sleep. The way both parties are going at it today you’d think this was Custer’s Last Stand. Maybe a better analogy is the Rubicon.

Inflation Is Mortally Wounded And Rapidly Fading, Dump Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ronald_Rosen
It is my opinion that you should ignore all fundamental stories and statistics about runaway prices and hyperinflation at least for the next 8 to 12 months. Gold, silver, and their shares are in the process of being sliced, diced, baked, broiled, and slaughtered. A rare, very rare, opportunity to acquire gold, silver, and their shares at lower than bargain prices will arrive when the [C] leg down that I have been describing and writing about bottoms. This report presents quarterly logarithmic charts of gold, silver, the HUI, and the U. S. Dollar Index. If you are a trader and are familiar with and can handle the short selling process and its dangers you may reap a small fortune over the time span that the [C] leg process (down) requires to complete its work. Its work involves destroying overly enthusiastic precious metals bulls.

Lithium Leading the Charge in Automotive and Electronics Batteries / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: The_Gold_Report
One of these days, pent-up demand for new cars and growing concern about the carbon footprint associated with driving vehicles powered by traditional internal combustion engines will fuel tremendous demand for lithium, a development sure to spark greater investor interest, as well. A staple in batteries for hybrids and all-electric vehicles on the road and on the drawing boards, lithium is becoming a darling among hot commodities. As one of the few of his ilk on the planet, Jon Hykawy is also in considerable demand these days. The Gold Report caught up with Jon in Buenos Aires, where he—as Byron Capital Markets' recently appointed lithium analyst—is checking out facilities in Argentina, the world's second-largest (behind Chile) lithium-producing country, to talk about his favorite subject.

The I.M.F. and Central Banks are Going to Support Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As an almost revered subject, the question of whether central banks across the world will be buyers or sellers of gold is one usually left until after the event. Central Banks themselves are usually very unhappy to talk about their gold policy. When they do it is a once-in-several-years-event. As a result we watch the behavior patterns of the last decade to see what lies ahead.

Copper Panic and Recovery / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Zeal_LLC
Although copper is not the largest base-metal market (aluminum is way bigger), nor the most valuable of the primary base metals (nickel is worth several times more per pound), it is still arguably the most important base metal. As the base metal of choice for investors and speculators, copper’s price offers great insights into how traders view the global economic outlook.

By: GoldCore
Gold fell yesterday on technical driven profit taking and is currently trading at $996.75/oz. It traded in a range overnight of $991-$999/oz.

Gold, The Most Important Chart You Will See! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Peter_Degraaf
A chart is like a photograph. It locks in ‘the activity’ right up to the last moment. A chart is a reflection of the actions of multiple humans interacting in the marketplace. Since humans tend to act in ‘herd-like’ manner, reacting to the news they hear, read and see, a chart has a certain amount of predictive energy while it reflects the past.
