Gold and ‘The’ Parabolic Peak / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dudley_Baker
Frequently we are told that gold will go to $2,000, $3,000 or more. We will not get into all of the arguments of attempting to arrive at a reasonable price based on supply/demand, inflation/deflation, etc. but rather to see if there is a pattern we can detect from reviewing some historical charts.
Sometimes we hear in the press that gold is in a bubble or has gone parabolic. What does all of this mean to investors and how do we make decisions based upon these statements?

Gold Strong On Eurozone Debt Crisis 'Canary in the Coalmine' as U.S. Deficits Soar / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold finished at its highest level since early December and had its fourth consecutive day of gains Wednesday as a debt ratings downgrade for Spain and surging credit spreads created new fears of the eurozone sovereign debt crisis spreading and financial contagion. Gold for June delivery gained $9.60/oz, or 0.8%, to $1,171.80 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold remained near record nominal highs in pounds, euros and Swiss francs. Some of the gains were given up in Asian trade overnight prior to gold rising again in all currencies in early European trade this morning. The US dollar and British pound have fallen and this is seeing gold rise again today (see currency table below). Read full article... Read full article...

Gold a Viable Alternative to Fiat Currencies, Despite Manipulation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bob_Chapman
One thing the Greek crisis has shown us is that gold is a viable alternative to currencies. In spite of all the manipulation by the US government and the consistent blatant attempts to suppress both gold and silver they come back time after time. Gold finished last week strongly, as did silver and this week they will have to hold off the onslaught of our elitists, as both gold and silver options expire simultaneously.

All Aboard the Gold Train as Recognition Move Approaches / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Since early 2009 we’ve written about the super-bullish long-term cup and handle pattern in Gold. It dates back to 1980 and has a logarithmic target of about $2,100. We noted that previous cup and handle patterns in Gold all reached their logarithmic target1. We expect that this move to $2,100 will be the recognition move that awakens the masses to the Gold bull market and the reality of severe inflation in the near future.

Gold Potential to Hit $2,000 to $3,000 Within 2 Years / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Aden_Forecast
This month’s jump up in precious metals, resources and oil reinforces that the lows in February were likely the lows for the downward correction.
For now, the second quarter is off to a good start. The fact that gold’s decline was mild (down 13½%) is saying that the underlying bull market is strong and solid. You should now have your positions bought and in place, waiting for the bull market to further unfold.
