Silver Market Forecast for 2009 and 2010 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
silberinfo: David, 2008 had a great beginning with silver over $21 but it ended poorly. From a fundamental point of view not much has changed. Why the high volatility?
D. Morgan : From my perspective the market was overbought in March 2008 and in fact I sent a sell signal to all Morgan Report subscribers telling them to take some money off the table. Many did. I did not put out a buy signal until September 2008 but was too early and watched the market go down further. The last buy signal was around the 10th of December 2008, after the metals market had made a clear bottom. We have already taken partial profits on that.

Gold Sentiment and Trend Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In recent writings I have forecasted a consolidation or small correction in Gold. It rebounded $300/oz while most markets sputtered. Yet, at $1,000/oz Gold was overbought and meeting technical resistance while stock indices and commodities were in the process of bottoming. As predicted, the Fed's monetization and “reflation” trade has thus far failed to lift Gold past $1,000/oz. Money is moving into other markets at a time when Gold is relatively extended, but extremely extended in relation to these other markets. Various sentiment data provide us with greater confirmation that the ancient metal of kings is in a period of consolidation. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Benefits from U.S. Debt Monetization / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The world does not need a New World Money backed by government IOUs. We already have an ideal One World Money in the form of Gold. It satisfies fully all the requirements of money. And most important, it has clearly demonstrated durability as a store of value. Gold, however, has one failing that prevents it from it being adopted by the nations of the world as the One World Money. Politicians cannot “print” more of it with which to buy votes. Can anyone imagine a U.S. Congress denying itself the right to spend money? Read full article... Read full article...
