Silver Stocks and ETF / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Zeal_LLC

When the words “precious metals” are spoken, gold is usually what comes to mind first.  And in the universe of PM stocks it is indeed gold that most miners are after.  The vast majority of PM mining companies explore for and ultimately seek to find the Ancient Metal of Kings.  But gold is not the only precious metal.

What’s Happening in Crude Oil? / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Seven_Days_Ahead

The Macro Trader’s view:
The rally in oil from the beginning of the year always looked to us to be driven by speculation rather than fundamentals. In an environment where the global economy was still struggling to emerge from recession and supply was still plentiful, a rally of around $25 a barrel in two months seemed excessive.

Captial Gains Tax Charged on Gold Profits / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Adam_Brochert

Capital Gains on Gold are punitively taxed at a higher rate than stocks or other investment capital gains, as they are treated as "collectibles." This is yet another way the government discourages Gold ownership and forces people to accept their intrinsically worthless paper tickets. Forcing people into the fiat casino so that they can be stripped of the fruits of their labor is the heart of what Gold Versus Paper is against.

Gold Bull Market Next stop is $2,100 not $1,300 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne

Practically everyone in the gold community has mentioned the inverse head and shoulders pattern on the gold chart and the corresponding $1,300 target. The target is correct but the interpretation of the pattern is not entirely correct. That target comes from the pattern being a reversal pattern but in the current case of Gold it is not a reversal pattern. There is no downtrend it is reversing from. However, the pattern can actually function as a continuation pattern as John Murphy explains in his book, Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets:

Gold Question / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Ronald_Rosen

Hi Captain Ron,
Thanks for the hand-holding during these tough times!
However, I can't help thinking if the general market is to plunge from here, what can stop gold from being dragged down by the deflationary force, (just as what occurred in 2008) especially when I see silver is particularly weak, and the commercial shorts are still up to their necks?

Gold Breakout Above $1,000 Only a Question of Time / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Adam_Brochert

To borrow a phrase from a recent piece by Martin Armstrong, “it’s just time” for Gold to shine and revert to its role as money. Of course, the powers that be and their minions laugh in contempt at such a concept. Wall Street laughs at the investment that has no growth potential and pays no dividends.
