Gold Price Is Boiling Hot! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
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
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
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.

Gold Potential Long-term Double Top Pattern / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold dropped a little during the week but really went nowhere in the whole scheme of things. Lots of conversation about where gold is headed, in my local technical googlegroup. Here, you only get the simple, “where are we now?” and “what is the existing direction of trend?”. When things change my indicators will change and I will change with them.

Time to Buy Gold Stocks and Not the Metal? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
The gold price average over the last year has risen to close to the current price. This means that the gold sales income of the mining companies has persisted for long-enough for the mining companies to have income available for payout to shareholders or to improve their Balance Sheet. This makes mining companies with their leverage to the gold price more attractive than the metal itself, currently. We let our subscribers know the shares we believe will give them the greatest overall return on their investment, so we restrict ourselves in this article to the underlying principles that guide us in our choice.

Silver Gold Ratio Reversion Points to Serious Under Valuation of Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Silver has endured a rather tough June so far. After peaking just under $16 on the 2nd, this white precious metal plunged 12% to just over $14 by the 15th. This is certainly a significant decline for less than 2 weeks, so silver traders are anxiously wondering what it portends. Will silver languish in the summer doldrums again this year?

Trading Gold with the Gold Direction Indicator / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
In my last article, posted on May 13th, I drew your attention to the HUI index. The article was titled: “All eyes are on Huey”. The article pointed out that the HUI index was breaking out at 350. As it turned out Huey rose to 400, an increase of 14%. At that point I alerted my subscribers to take partial profits as it appeared that the index was going to test the breakout. My subscribers saw me take some money off the table, as I e-mailed the trading details the same day.

What's Next for Gold and Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
I am a big, big fan of Exter's liquidity pyramid. John Exter was a central bankster who worked at the federal reserve in the 1940s and 1950s. His concern about a global fiat money system, once it emerged, was that it would eventually blow out in a deflationary implosion rather than an inflationary one. This is not a common thesis, yet it is one I believe is being proven correct in front of our eyes.
