Russian Call for Special Drawing Rights Currencies Positve for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold:
Yesterday's comments by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the BRIC summit, calling upon the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to expand the currency basket of Special Drawing Rights to include the Chinese yuan, commodity currencies and gold in order that it matures into a reserve currency, is positive for gold as it shows how gold is again being viewed as an important monetary asset.

Gold Miner Fundamentals About to Improve / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
The cost of mining real money (i.e. Gold) out of the ground is about to decrease relative to the cost of Gold (again). Fundamentals DO NOT immediately translate into stock price changes, but they lay the groundwork for stock prices to change at some point in the future. I am intermediate-term bearish on senior Gold mining stocks, but will be looking to buy more once I think the current correction is over. The fundamentals are about to become even more supportive than they are already.

Future Inflation Fears Fuel Price of Gold Shares and Warrants / Commodities / Options & Warrants
By: Lorimer_Wilson
The 2008 stock market meltdown brought panic and forced liquidation to all market sectors and especially junior resource shares (- 58.2% on average) and their associated warrants (-80.1%). Shares of companies that had a solid foundation for development, production and growth were unceremoniously dumped along with those more numerous juniors that had little more than hopes centered on grass roots exploration prospects. As a result of this indiscriminate selling – this throwing out the baby with the bath water – extraordinary opportunities have emerged creating once-in-a-lifetime values for discerning investors.

Is Gold a Buy or is it “Toppy”? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
A few weeks ago the gold rush was back on.
Inflation fears were rising. Yields on treasury bonds were rising. Gold was making another run at $1,000. Leading the headlines though and sparking the most interest was hedge fund manager John Paulson and his big bets on gold and gold stocks.

Silver and the US Dollar / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Roland_Watson
Things look like they are moving to some kind of resolution on where silver is headed. The main bellwether for where silver goes is not gold but the US Dollar. The two charts below of the US Dollar Index and silver for the same time periods show how these two asset classes are moving in opposite directions. First silver which has dropped about 15% in 19 days.

Gold GLD ETF Upside Reversal Imminent / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Based on a textbook head-and-shoulders top pattern, the downside measured target in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) is 89.50, which also happens to coincide with a test of the Jan-June up trendline, now at 89.20. If the last portion of this decline does unfold in textbook fashion, then we should be looking for an upside reversal (buy) signal in the upcoming hours – to initiate a potent upmove into the 93.50-94.00 area.Read full article...

The Real Crisis is Beginning to Unfold… and It’s Not Financial Pt. 1 / Commodities / Food Crisis
By: Graham_Summers
The real crisis is coming… and it’s coming fast.

Gold Intermediate Buy Signal Triggered / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Perhaps we should establish an official day of mourning for the loss of independent thinking now so widespread among today’s journalists. In the U.S., independent journalism has died. Most of the reporting media has now become the official apparatchik of the Obama Regime. With one national network moving into the White House for daily supervision, all pretense of independence has been lost. We can probably, given access to the internet, learn to survive the death of journalism as a profession. However, our wealth may not survive the loss of an independent central bank. Since Federal Reserve actions are somewhat greater than a butterfly in Africa flapping its wings, the rest of the world may need to worry about yet to come financial chaos.

Gold Price Is Boiling Hot! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ronald_Rosen
Excerpt From The Walrus and The Carpenter By Lewis Carroll
“The time has come, the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax
Of cabbages - and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot –
And whether pigs have wings."

Gold Corrective Downtrend Imminent End to Target New Highs / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Gold broke down and went into decline, as predicted in the last update posted early this month. At that time our maximum downside target was the strong support in the $880 area, but now there are strong signs that the decline has either run its course, or is close to having done so, and that a breakout to new highs may be close at hand.

Gold Stock Correction Timing / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Adam_Brochert
I am a big time Gold stock bull based on the deflationary depression that I believe has already begun (for those who don’t understand why deflation is good for Gold miners, look here). The stock market is a dangerous place to be right now and there’s no rush to speculate on the upside right now. Patience will be rewarded as the new bear leg down in the stock market that has begun will take even good sectors down with it.
