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.

Gold, U.S. Dollar and Treasuries Head and Shoulder Price Patterns / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
The 3 main predictions made over the past several weeks have come to pass - bonds have topped out and come close to completing a Head-and-Shoulders reversal, the dollar index has rallied further to our target in the 84 - 85 area and gold and silver have reacted, with silver reacting mildly compared to gold, also as predicted. The question now of course, particularly after the strong gains on Friday, is whether the reaction in the Precious Metals sector has run its course. Before attempting to answer this question it is worth stepping back to make some general observations about gold and the grave financial crisis gripping the world. Read full article...

Crude Black Gold vs Yellow Gold, Who’s Ready to Rally? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Chris_Vermeulen
While gold was extremely popular the past few years, I think its safe to say crude oil is unbeatable for popularity, as it's a resource which almost everyone uses on a daily basis and it effects all of us in the wallet when oil prices rise as fuel, shipping costs and petroleum products start to cost more and more. This is the first time I have REALLY noticed everyone is following the price of oil. When kids start talking about it, then you know its being watched like a hawk from all types of individuals and traders. Read full article... Read full article...

Gas Prices Rollercoaster: Why Energy and Infrastructure Are Inextricably Linked / Commodities / Gas - Petrol
By: Investment_U
President-elect Obama takes office in less than a week's time. While many will be watching closely to see how he handles the ongoing financial crisis, I'll be equally interested to see how he handles a far more ominous one: our ongoing energy and infrastructure crisis. Regular readers know I believe energy and infrastructure are inextricably combined. We need cheap energy to fuel sustained economic growth. And we need infrastructure in place to move and dispense the energy from its source to its destination. Today I'm going to give you a perfect example of how the two are intertwined, and how one can play off the other to create a positive benefit for all. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Is A Beach Ball Being Held Under Water / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Captain_Hook
Perhaps the best analogy to explain the fundamental condition of gold is that it's like a beach ball being held under water, where at some point it will escape the clutches of its oppressor, springing it into the light of day for all to see its true worth. Even a child could understand such a condition when explained in terms of a beach ball. When it comes to the day-to-day trials and tribulations of gold however, it's not that simple unfortunately, because although gold is the oldest form of true money on the planet, it's also a political metal caught up in the biggest fiat currency / Ponzi scheme in the history of mankind.Read full article...

Prospects for Crude Oil Recovery During 2009 / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Q1_Publishing
Last Sunday 60 Minutes posed the question, “Did speculation fuel oil price swings?”
The news show's investigative team naturally delved into the personal story of how a small-town heating oil company can't predict the oil prices. Although I'm sure they left out his solution of charging a very high premium to his customers to ensure he doesn't get left holding the bag.

Silver and the Minimum Wage / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
Many of us who write about the precious metals field have put out their 2009 forecasts and predictions for the New Year. This writer is no exception, but it seemed to me that it might be nice to look at my mission statement and determine if I could compose a simple story that might engage the reader to think about the current dire state of affairs in the economy and how an honest “money” system might help on an individual basis.Read full article...
