Gold Upside Breakout Trading and Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: INO

I think that the gold market is getting wound up. If I’m right, we’re going to see an explosion in gold to the upside.
Here’s the reasoning behind my optimism for this market: Right now we’re seeing gold in an accumulation phase. A move over the $875 level in the spot market will signal the first step to propelling gold in an accelerated upward trajectory.

Gold Price Trend Volatility 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Already into 2009 we are experiencing trend -threatening moves in various markets.   Should we believe that the markets are directionless?   Can we rely on the charts to give us direction?   What of the fundamentals of markets are they reliable guides?   Most important of all, are investors capable of responding to the directions given by fundamental and technical indicators?   Are these ridiculous questions?   They would have been a couple of years ago, but now need to be considered carefully.

Gold Miners GDX ETF Reaches New Recovery Highs / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (AMEX: GDX) is taking its lead from the gold market this morning, rather than the equity market, which has propelled the gold mining index to a new recovery high. More importantly, however, is that the price structure is attempting to hurdle a resistance plateau that represents the neckline of a base-like pattern that has developed during January.

Gold Price Relative Performance v. Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Guy_Lerner

The last time I looked at gold was on January 2, 2009 . Gold had closed above its "simple 10 month moving average and above a down sloping trend line formed by two prior pivot high points."

I went on to state: "Typically and on a purely price action basis, I would consider this bullish. However, for gold, these technical milestones have failed to produce any meaningful edge especially when we apply other filters of the price action (such as the "next big thing" indicator). In other words, I don't believe that this represents the beginnings of a new secular up trend in gold."

Silver and the Chinese Production / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: David_Morgan

Bloomberg put out some interesting news regarding the silver market stating that refined silver output in China has peaked and it could stop growing because less will be produced as a result of halting of mine expansions, higher costs for production and lower prices received for the metal itself.

Gold Price Forecast 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Nadeem_Walayat

My existing forecast for the Gold price trend during 2009 as of October 2008 has been for a volatile sideways trading range of between $930 and $700, subsequent price action has so far been in line with this. Therefore this analysis seeks to update the Gold Price expectations for 2009 in the light of "Quantative Easing" aka "Money Printing" as many gold investors are taking their cue from the recovery in gold stocks for much brighter prospects for gold to target a breakout to new highs during 2009.

Gold GLD in Bullish Consolidation / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Gold continues to act extremely well, despite a still-strong performance of the dollar and general commodity weakness. Why? I am not sure, but there is certainly no shortage of fear about markets, economic growth, beleaguered banking systems, and growing budget deficits to elicit a newfound attraction to gold.

2009: Dollar, Debts and Deficits to Eventually Drive Commodities Higher / Commodities / Investing 2009

By: HRA_Advisory

Happier New Year - 2008 will (hopefully) go down as the most difficult year investors ever have to face. While we certainly are not promising a rapid return to a true bull market we think there will be profit opportunities going forward, some of them substantial.

Great risks remain however and even in the rosiest scenarios this will be a traders market for months if not years to come. Any gains in the market will be hard won and made against the backdrop of economic stats that will continue to be awful. It will be important to harvest profits when you're able and building cash for use later to patiently buy longer term bargains. We will cover a number of sub sectors in this first issue of 2009 with some comments at the end on the mining sector as a whole.

The Six Biggest Myths About Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Nick_Barisheff

Gold. People either love it or hate it. There aren't many who feel ambivalent toward it. Unfortunately, gold is deeply misunuderstood by investors, and that misunderstanding is hurting their portfolio returns. Many in the inuvestment community trot out the old myths about gold: that it is a bad investment; that it is very risky; that it is not a good inflation hedge. But is there anything behind these assertions? If investors take the time to examine the facts, these commonly held beliefs simply do not stand up to scrutiny. It is precisely because these myths have become so prevalent that gold is still undervalued. Once the general public realizes these beliefs are not valid, the price of gold will be much higher.

Money Supply Growth Will Drive U.S. Dollar Lower and Gold Higher / Commodities / Money Supply

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

The 1930s was the birth of Keynesianism. Economists needed a simple answer as to why they had been so wrong. Since then, the U.S., and much of the rest of the world, has endured 70 years of economic concepts that have generated a continuous lack of success in economic matters. Most professions would seriously review their methodology when faced with as many repeated failures. Not so for the economics community. They just keep coming with more of the same failed policies.

Silver Heading for Out-performance Against Gold During 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Clive_Maund

Silver did as predicted in the last update, dropping back towards $10 from the then price at $11.50. It got down to about $10.20 and then bounced. Now it is clearly rounding over beneath a small Dome distribution pattern, marking out what looks like a small Head-and-Shoulders top. Thus, we can expect a retest of the support in the $10.20 area soon, and should this fail then silver is likely to drop back to the next significant support level near last year's lows in the $8.50 - $9.00 area.
