Gold Boosted by Keynesian Economies Heading for Bankruptcy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Greece may not be enough. Further economic bodies may be needed for the funeral pyre of Keynesian economics.

Gold Surges To New Record Highs in Swiss Francs, Euros and Pounds / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold rose to new five month highs in New York on signs of increased investment demand for the metal as an alternative to the euro and other currencies. Bullion surged to new nominal record highs in euros, Swiss francs and British pounds (see charts), extending gains this year as concern about sovereign debts in Europe encouraged investors into the safe haven of gold.

Russian Gold Purchases Surges by 15.55 Tonnes in a Month! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Since last year central banks have been net buyers of gold. More importantly they have stopped selling gold.
We do not deem the I.M.F. sales of gold as central bank selling, even if it is within the totals given under that agreement. It is not done in the spirit of the Central Bank Gold Agreement. Their purpose is to raise funds for a specific purpose, whereas the central bank sellers wanted to diversify their foreign exchange reserves out of gold. In addition they were sellers in support of the establishment of the € internationally.

Gold and Commodities On the Verge of an Inflationary Surge / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
I'm going to start off by stating that I don't think Bernanke is going to "get away" with the insane monetary policy he's chosen. Printing trillions of dollars, cutting rates to zero, trying to manipulate the bond market and generally tampering with the natural market forces is going to have consequences.Read full article...

Except for Thursday it was a pretty good week. So why am I feeling a little cautious? The action behind the latest up trend in gold just doesn’t “feel” right. With all of the world’s problems one would expect a robust advance but the strength behind this latest gold move just doesn’t compute right. Oh well, let’s see.

Gold Still Glitters! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold bullion is at a new high for the year, and has rallied more than 10% since February. Yet it has not attracted the excitement among investors and the media that its rallies usually generate. That may be an indication it has further to go on the upside, since excessive excitement about a gold rally is usually seen before its rallies end.Read full article... Read full article...

Strong Technical Signs for Silver SLV ETF / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
is staggering to think that spot gold prices have rocketed well beyond the January 1980 high, while spot silver prices are about 60% off of the 1980 high! Let's notice that the silver price structure is heading for a confrontation with its long-term resistance line, now at $19.54, which if hurdled and sustained just might be the catalyst for upside acceleration that plays catch-up in a hurry with the advance in gold prices. In any case, my work points to an approaching confrontation with the 1980-2010 resistance.

Silver Investing Lessons from the Name of God / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
I just got back from Mexico, where I saw a group of silver-zinc-lead mines with enormous potential. It’s no surprise to find silver in Mexico — in fact, the silver district I visited produced its first silver for Spanish conquistadores. And the Spaniard with his boot firmly on the neck of the local Indians was none other than Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro, better known to us gringos as Hernando Cortez.
