Technical Sector Timing for Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The broad market including commodities is under some serious selling pressure as traders and investors panic to exit positions. Today small caps stocks and commodities took the majority of the beating. Although the market looks bearish at this point, I do think there is a very good chance of a bounce Thursday and Friday, but I figure we will see selling into the close on Friday as traders stay in cash over the weekend.

Why Trillion-Dollar Infusion May Not Produce Inflation—or Drive Gold Up / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Where is the aggressive inflation that was supposed to follow the government's tremendous expansion of the money supply? Why hasn't the new money propelled the price of gold higher? Pierce Points author Dave Forest shares his answers, which counter traditional theories, in this exclusive Gold Report interview. He also talks about some of the companies he likes no matter which way the pendulum swings. Juniors with plenty of project options to choose from are among the equities Dave favors.

By: Andrew_Butter

Who Will Buy the I.M.F. Gold and When? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
At last, the U.S. Congress has permitted the U.S. representative at the I.M.F. to vote to sell the 403 tonnes of gold the I.M.F. bought from Brazil and Mexico. As it is not an individual member's gold we fully expect the members of the fund to OK its sale. The legislation will permit U.S. representatives to the I.M.F. to agree to its planned sale of 13 million ounces of gold, one-eighth of the organization's holdings.

Are Gold and Silver Both Ready For Their Next Substantial Upleg? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
I like gold and the whole precious metals market which is why I follow it, invest in it and base my professional life around it. Warren Buffet, one of the world’s savviest investors, doesn’t like gold at all. He doesn’t believe in it.
