Gold is Money and Nothing Else / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
The title of this post is actually a quote from Mr. JP Morgan in the early 1900s during a Congressional hearing in the United States. Big league bankstas know the role of Gold in the system. Gold is the asset base upon which paper schemes and leverage are constructed. Gold is not a way to get rich, but it is savings and it is money.

By: Zeal_LLC
When the words “precious metals” are spoken, gold is usually what comes to mind first. And in the universe of PM stocks it is indeed gold that most miners are after.

What’s Happening in Crude Oil? / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The Macro Trader’s view:
The rally in oil from the beginning of the year always looked to us to be driven by speculation rather than fundamentals. In an environment where the global economy was still struggling to emerge from recession and supply was still plentiful, a rally of around $25 a barrel in two months seemed excessive.

Captial Gains Tax Charged on Gold Profits / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
Capital Gains on Gold are punitively taxed at a higher rate than stocks or other investment capital gains, as they are treated as "collectibles." This is yet another way the government discourages Gold ownership and forces people to accept their intrinsically worthless paper tickets. Forcing people into the fiat casino so that they can be stripped of the fruits of their labor is the heart of what Gold Versus Paper is against.

The target is correct but the interpretation of the pattern is not entirely correct. That target comes from the pattern being a reversal pattern but in the current case of Gold it is not a reversal pattern. There is no downtrend it is reversing from.
