Agri-Food's Investing Bypasses Illusory Stimulus Driven Economic Growth / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSome, and perhaps more than we imagine, economic sectors are immune to the failing economic policies of the Obama Regime. Those industries being driven by the dominant global trends should be somewhat resilient to the ongoing economic problems of the U.S. However, none will totally escape as the U.S. is such an important economic center of consumption. How do investors escape this reliance on U.S. economic activity level? The answer is, quite simply, Agri-Food.

Precious Metals Rally Running Out of Steam, Or Going a Lot Higher? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn the previous essay I wrote the following: Recently the precious metals market has been influenced by developments in the general stock market, which contributed to a considerable extent to its recent downswing and subsequent rally. At the moment, the technical situation for the main stock indices is favorable, which means that precious metals are likely to move higher as well.

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleCommodities are trying to hold their ground and could go either way quickly. There is a lot of chatter going on about gold and silver. I am hearing extreme theories from everyone I talk with. Generally when I see the market get jumpy we tend to see volatility increase which translates into sharp rallies or sell offs.

The Day the U.S. Dollar Died and Gold was Reborn / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Bill_Downey

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWho would have thought that the information age would be so confusing?  Given the same set of conditions, man has this tendency to find different interpretations of the same data.  For instance, there is a huge inflation/deflation debate going on.  The problem (for some of us) is that both sides can and do give good argument for their respective side.  When I read a good deflation article, I am convinced that it will be so.  That is, until I read a good inflation article.  Then I tend to start thinking inflation again.

Will Big U.S. Banks Be Forced to Cover Large Gold Short Positions? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFor many years, accusations that JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America and Goldman Sachs have wide open and huge, exposed short positions against gold and silver, have been made by groups like GATA and others. In the United States these four banks control over 90% of the derivatives market. They too will be subject to "substantial supervision and regulations," including conservative capital requirements and strong business conduct standards. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is set to propose giving securities and futures regulators authority to police the over-the-counter derivatives market. Discussions on these regulations begin next week.

Gold's Quest to Break Above $1000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Zeal_LLC

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBig round numbers are irresistibly alluring.  There is some kind of psychological gravity about them that captures people’s attention.  Remember when the Dow 30 first breached 10k (March 1999) or oil first exceeded $100 (February 2008)?  These were major financial-media events that spilled widely into the mainstream consciousness.

Agricultural Commodities Bull Market / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Uncommon_Wisdom

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSean Broderick writes: World cereal prices hit record highs in 2007 and in the first half of 2008. Consequently, food prices spiked, which in turn triggered riots in dozens of countries along with a series of food export bans. Since then, prices have fallen due to a good harvest in 2008.

So does that mean we don’t have to worry about the global food supply anymore? Not by a long shot!

Three United States Gold Scenarios, Fort Knox, Fort Hocks or Fort Shocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Stewart_Dougherty

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFor 72 years, the building at the intersection of Bullion Boulevard and Gold Vault Road in Fort Knox, Kentucky has symbolized the financial strength of the United States of America. The United States Bullion Depository, better known as Fort Knox, is said to contain 147.3 million troy ounces of gold, over half the nation’s total reported gold bullion holdings of 261.5 million troy ounces. The remaining 114 million ounces are said to be stored at the Denver and Philadelphia Mints, the West Point Bullion Depository, and the San Francisco Assay Office. Assuming a price of $1,000 / ounce, the nation’s gold is worth $261.5 billion. If the metal is actually there, it represents the largest sovereign stockpile of gold bullion in the world.

Scaling Into the Natural Gas UNG ETF / Commodities / Natural Gas

By: Mike_Paulenoff

After this morning’s marginal new recovery high at 14.00, the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG) reversed to the downside in reaction to “in-line” inventory data, which pressed indices to an intraday low so far at 13.25.   We initiated a 25% long position in our model portfolio at 13.32.  If the UNG is unable to consolidate and lift off from the 13.30/25 area, then I will be looking for another loop down towards 13.00, where we will add another 25% long position.

Gold and Gold Stocks Preparing to Rocket Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Chris_Vermeulen

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt’s that time again when the gold bugs come crawling out of the wood work.

Monthly, weekly and daily charts are all about to move close together and when then happens be ready to buy gold and gold stocks (golden rockets). Technically speaking we are still a long way from the HUI monthly chart breaking out to the up side. But if this bullish price action continues our weekly and daily trading signals will reap big rewards as we enter gold early before the next leg (rally) higher.
