Trading Gold Using Gold Stocks as an Leading indicator / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I find from time and time that gold stocks tend to lead the price of gold during extreme times and as I mentioned in last weeks report the HUI index has warned us up to 7 days in advance, before gold made sizable drop. Well this week is a perfect example in my opinion.
The charts below show how gold stocks became bearish much quicker than the price of gold indicating we should see lower gold prices soon. This time the HUI index gave us 5 days advance warning that gold will eventually drop quickly to catch up and the chart below show this.

Change is never easy and extreme change is the most difficult of all - Twelve years ago, the esteemed Financial Times in an editorial announced The Death of Gold ; and, in 2004, another contributor to FT noted, the end of gold as an investment has come a little closer .
Recently, however, on January 5, 2009 the Financial Times published David Hale's There Is Only One Alternative To The Dollar . Long-time subscribers to FT may be surprised to find that alternative to be gold—or, then again, they may not be surprised at all.

The Global Gold Bull Market in Major Currencies / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Zeal_LLC
During late 2008's unprecedented financial-market panic, gold got something of a bum rap. Since this metal didn't soar during the stock chaos like most of its investors expected, many assume something must be wrong in gold-land. But gold ultimately did hold its own, up 2.1% in Q4 while the S&P 500 plunged 22.4%.
During the very heart of the stock panic when gold looked the weakest (under $750), it was being driven down by a bear-record US dollar surge.
