Physical Silver- Where is it? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: David_Morgan
I received a phone call from Tarek Saab, a former finalist on Donald Trump's television show, The Apprentice . At first I was a bit suspicious because, believe it or not, there are a few flakes floating around the gold and silver arena, and having someone claim to be associated with The Donald did send up warning flags. I must state, however, that perhaps to an outsider, all gold and silver bugs probably seem nuts!Read full article... Read full article...

David Morgan: Spring May Bring Silver “Obama Rally” / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Typical pre-teen boys may be as committed to collecting coins as they are baseball cards, but to find 11-year-olds intrigued by the M1 money supply, fiat currency and the silver standard would be a rarity by anyone’s standards. David Morgan, whose interest in silver dates to that tender age, was one of the rare ones—and still is. Although his horizon has expanded considerably since those days, he now stands out among the world’s preeminent silver authorities, investment experts and worldview economists.Read full article...

Massive U.S. Dollar Devaluation Against Gold During 2009 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: John_Browne
The Federal Reserve estimates that in the past year losses in real estate, stocks and mortgages have sucked out some $7.2 trillion of wealth from the U.S. economy. Some are now putting the figure at $20 trillion. A massive recession is starting and will likely spread throughout much of the world. These forces have exerted their classic strong downward pressure on the price of gold.Read full article... Read full article...

Analysis of the Relationship Between Gold and Crude Oil Price Trend / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: John_Lee
As I toured around the world to talk about the merits of gold during the last several years, the same question was posed to me over and over again
"John, oil is $80, $100, $150 a barrel, why hasn't gold lived up to its reputation as a hedge against inflation?"

The Great Gold Stock Panic Ends and Buying Begins / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Zeal_LLC
The Great Stock Panic of 2008 was so mercilessly brutal that no sector escaped its ravages. Unfortunately gold stocks, despite their history of performing really well during general-stock bears, also succumbed to the universal panic selling. Extreme fear snowballed without relent until even long-time gold-stock enthusiasts capitulated and dumped their shares in disgust. Read full article... Read full article...

Silver to Outperform Gold During 2009 as World Faces Deflationary Meltdown / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold fell yesterday on a bounce in the dollar and renewed weakness in the oil and commodity markets. While gold has clearly decoupled from oil and commodities in recent weeks, due to its safe haven currency credentials, oil and the commodities can still effect gold’s performance in the short term. As can weakness in stock markets. Gold trading on the COMEX in the US opening hours has been increasingly correlated with stock markets in recent weeks and months . This correlation with stock markets is however of a short term nature as can clearly be seen in gold’s outperformance of equity markets in recent months and years.Read full article...

Backward Thinking on Gold Futures Backwardation / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Professor_Emeritus
On Monday, December 15, backwardation on gold was still in force at an annualized discount rate that narrowed to 1.55% in the December contract, but widened to 0.36% in the February contract. 12,673 contracts remain for tender in December, including an additional 37 contracts since last Friday. The discount on the December futures was 50¢ offered to those owners of physical gold who would transfer the carry to the market for the remaining 14 in December, or 60¢ for the 72 days deferred delivery for the February contract.

High Silver Premiums and Comex Delivery / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Roland_Watson
This article is intended as a follow up to the large number of emails I received after my article on high premiums on retail bullion silver. Needless to say, not everyone was in agreement with me and that was the majority! But first, I was in contact with a large bullion provider in London with whom I have dealt with in the past. Like other dealers they have experienced high demand and they too have had to put the "Sold Out" sign on silver bar products. I put the obvious question to them, " Is this a silver shortage? " to which he replied " Don't believe the hype! ". Read full article... Read full article...

By: Mike_Paulenoff
After making all-time new lows right at 33.00, the US Oil Fund ETF (NYSE: USO) has bounced to the 33.60/80 area so far…but needs to challenge and hurdle 34.25 to begin to get any real traction on the upside -- for continuation towards my optimal next recovery target at 35.70-36.20.Read full article...

Bernanke's Quantitative Easing Good for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: HRA_Advisory
So, it comes to this. The Fed announced the most anticipated rate cut in history; though some didn't expect 75-100 bps based on the ecstasy on Wall St after the announcement. This move brings the Fed to the end of Stage One in its battle to save the world from the aftereffects of the credit bubble. The Fed can't cut rates any farther and, based on where short term Treasuries have been trading lately, this move just made official what the market had already priced in. A big upward move in the main US equity indices notwithstanding this was hardly a shocker. The other group that reacted with equal vigor was the currency traders. Read full article...

Gold and Gold Stocks 2009 Boost from Central Bank Quantitative Easing Measures / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Christopher_Laird
The US Fed just cut its Fed Funds target to 0 to .25% and is also likely to use other means to lower interest rates in the US such as buying long term US Treasuries and other bonds directly. The rationale is that merely lowering the Fed Funds rates is not finding its way into credit markets because lenders still don't want to lend. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Stocks Imminent Pullback Buying Opportunity? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Michael_Swanson
With yesterday's historic Fed move and the wild action we have seen in gold the past few months a lot of people have been asking about gold stocks. Since 2002 I have been in and out of the gold market, catching some of the great moves we have seen in the past few years and becoming known as a big believer in the long-term secular bull trend in gold. I also have had a reputation for being objective when it comes to gold, because at times I have taken profits in gold and have sat on the sidelines. Let me tell you what I see now.
