For Gold Investors Hope Springs Eternal / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Captain_Hook
Picking things up from yesterday , the theme of today's message is the same, albeit it appears we may have witnessed a temporary bottom in equities with the significant reversals. Rising short sales and put / call ratios are accelerating, showing signs of capitulation, along with the larger equity complex being short-term oversold. So, when you add an exploding liquidity picture to the background combined with falling interest rates around the world – hey – who can argue – it appears a bounce is in order. Here's the sticking point however, as with the 1929 pattern , don't be surprised if lower lows are vexed in late October / early November, as the public may not get sufficiently bearish in the options market in order to keep a sufficient number of negative bets on until closer to election time.

Silver Technicals Ripe for Explosive Rally / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Needless to say, the iShares Silver ETF (AMEX: SLV) has been in the grasp of a vicious and relentless multi-month bear phase in the aftermath of a 7-month powerful advance from 11.00 to 20.73. In fact, spot silver prices have not been this low since Februay 2006 and have retraced all of the bull move from around $9 to $21.50. Compared to the weakness in gold, silver has crashed, losing 65% of its value versus 23% in gold. Clearly, the need to deleverage and to raise cash hit the silver market much more severely than it did the gold market, which cut in half the gold/silver ratio -- no reflecting 82+ ounces of silver needed to equal the value of 1 ounce of gold.

By: Alex_Wallenwein
Indians have not really become ‘anti-gold.' They are just undergoing a natural re-evaluation process. The global crisis makes the outcome rather predictable.

By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has rallied 2.5% this morning after falling some 8% last week as the “dash for cash” and the deleveraging of the international financial system gathered pace.

Stocks and Commodities Collapse Due to Threat of Deflation / Commodities / CRB Index
By: Clive_Maund
The reason why commodities and stocks have been collapsing is liquidity problems and the consequent threat of deflation, and the collapse has been made far worse as a result of the extreme leveraging that had earlier been employed in the markets, which has resulted in a destructive vicious circle as each downleg triggered a fresh wave of selling as stops and margin calls kicked in.

A Great Time to Buy? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Mike_Stathis
Buy you ask? Yes. Not stocks, unless you're talking about oil. And unless you're the best of the best of traders you'll probably want to buy the oil trusts, but only if you believe in the peak oil story. Today? Not likely….at least wait until the next market crash, which appears to be coming any day now. And I highly doubt you're anywhere as good of a trader as you think. Read full article...
