Dow and Gold Summer Doldrums / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Mills
Central banks money printing is out of control. The constant printing of all the world’s currencies is just another way for countries to default on their debt – the repayment of a creditor occurs using a currency whose purchasing power has been reduced. Gold’s price will continue, has to continue, too rise in value against all depreciating paper currenciesRead full article... Read full article...

Gold Prepares To Make Yet Another All Time High / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bob_Kirtley
The summer doldrums are normally a weak time for gold, with July and August historically being two of the worst months for the yellow metal. July followed this pattern with there being a great deal of weakness in the gold price. However gold prices have bounced back this month, with gold now only $60.00/oz off its high. We are not sure why so many investors believe all in the markets and general economy is well, when gold is a 5% from its all time high whilst the S&P 500 is 40% from its high.

Gold Recent Price Slide Presents Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
"It's no longer just an energy market. It's no longer just a metals market. It's just one commodities market," says John Licata, chief commodity strategist at Blue Phoenix, Inc. John thinks that the lines between commodities will continue to blur as companies diversify their metals and minerals holdings. He also thinks gold will approach $1,375 by year-end, and that a major uranium producer will soon be snapped up by Asian interests. It's all in this exclusive interview with The Gold Report.

Why the Official Antipathy to Gold and Silver? The Second Oldest Profession / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jesse
Every so often someone asks, 'Why do the government and the banks manipulate the price of gold and silver?'
There is a great deal of circumstantial evidence to support this, even some blatant quotes pertinent to the topic from the likes of Volcker, Greenspan, and Bank of England governor Eddie George. Of course it can all be denied. People can deny anything, even well known historical events with many witnesses, if it suits their bias and purposes.

Gold and Silver, Following Stock Market Indices or Moving Against Them? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In one of our previous essays entitled The Strength of Reaction and Precious Implications we have analyzed the general stock market and the way it could influence gold, silver, and mining stocks. We have summarized that we are likely to see a short-term bounce to the upside. Now - with gold over $40 higher - we would like to provide you with a follow-up of that particular essay.
In the following part of the article we will also provide you with our thoughts related to one of the questions that we've received from our Subscribers - how is gold likely to perform in deflationary environment.

Gold Get Ready, Set, the Best Months Are Just Ahead / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Frank_Holmes
Global economic conditions are now favorable for gold as a safe-haven investment. The U.S., Western Europe and Japan are close to buckling under the weight of their sovereign debt loads, government budget deficits remain large and persistent and, as a result, faith in major paper currencies is low.

Gold and Failing Keynesian Dogma / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
That Keynesian economic dogma has been a complete and utter failure is readily evident as we look around the world. For one, the U.S. economy will reenter recession in first of the new year as Obama Regime's tax increases crush the potential for economic growth. U.S. unemployment remains stubbornly above 9%. Rather than Keynesians surrendering as they should, they place the blame not on their policies but those advocating change. Cure the economic woes of today? Ban university tenure for Keynesian economists, retroactively!

Gold and Silver Huge Short Position / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jesse
There is a case to be made that world production is not the only issue, but the available supply is just as important, if not more.
In the case of gold, a relatively small portion of supply is consumed, as the bulk of it is held as jewelry and bullion. One might say that if the bullion banks get into a pinch, the central banks can bail them out by 'leasing' gold to them for sale. In fact there is quite a bit of circumstantial evidence that the central banks have been doing this for some time, and would be in serious difficulty if they faced external audits.

Gold Serious Negative Divergences Despite Recent Rally / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
Gold has had several days of steady upside action but unfortunately the strength or momentum behind the move is not all that encouraging. Serious negative divergences are seen in my momentum indicators and need to be nullified before any significant move can continue. Let’s see where we are on a continuing basis.

If the U.S. Dollar Were to Fall How Important is Gold to the States? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Since the demise of the Gold Standard, monetary authorities have tried as many ways as possible out there to sideline gold as part of the monetary system. Since the early eighties they have succeeded to some extent, but this was by discrediting it and by emphasizing the benefits of paper currencies. Paper money in a paper system was working very well and everybody felt that much more prosperous, so ignored gold's departure.

The Great American Collapse, The Gold Decade / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Peter_Schiff
As gold hovers near $1,200 an ounce and pundits speculate about a 'gold bubble', it's important for investors to remember that a mere decade ago the picture was very different. In the year 2000, gold sat at an unimpressive annual average of $279 an ounce - a two-decade low. At that time, most analysts thought gold was finished as a monetary metal. They said its price would never recover and only kooks with tin hats would invest in it. I was one of the very few financial commentators publicly saying that gold was not only viable, but entering a long-term uptrend.

Gold Moving Toward $1,200 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: LiveCharts
The price of gold is currently (August 5) just below $1,195 after it briefly touched $1,200 on August 4th. Gold prices have been on a rebound after more than a $100 downward correction from the all-time high in late June of $1,261.
The gold spot rate hit $1,157 just over a week ago on July 28th. However, after hitting the nearly two-month low, the price of an ounce of gold has jumped nearly $40.

Gold the Hedge Against Chaos / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
…what if history is not cyclical and slow-moving but arhythmic, at times almost stationary, but also capable of accelerating suddenly, like a sports car? What if collapse does not arrive over a number of centuries but comes suddenly, like a thief in the night… dramas lie ahead as the nasty fiscal arithmetic of imperial decline drives yet another great power over the edge of chaos.

Time to Buy Silver Nears / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Bob_Clark
The penny gold and silver explorers waved a red flag six months ago, now they are furling that flag and preparing to hoist a green one. It is August and a good time to follow up on my article written in March for Market Oracle, "Will gold get compressed". In it I suggested that the metals would go sideways or compress but would hold above the March low, until August. below is part of what I said.

Economy in for a Long Dark Period – Here’s How to Survive with Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Chris Blasi writes: The success of the multi-year machinations of the U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve’s attempts to manage the fiscal crisis can best be summarized in a single word – and that word is ephemeral - yes, ephemeral! This beautifully succinct word, ephemeral, is defined as "lasting for only a short period of time and leaving no permanent trace.” Yes, indeed, what better word is there to describe the Government's so-called rescue plan than ephemeral – here today and gone tomorrow - and without a trace of lasting benefit!

Gold Meltdown or Mania, Batten Down the Hatches / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Casey_Research
Louis James, Senior Editor, Casey’s International Speculator writes: As Doug Casey said recently, we expect things to come unglued soon. With the ongoing madness in Europe, it seems to me that things are starting to look visibly less well glued already.
In contemplating the possibility of another stock market meltdown, it seems important to me that in spite of the exuberance with which investors rushed back into the market over the last year, the memory of 2008 remains vivid, tempering enthusiasm with caution.

Will the Gold Market Shift To the East? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
China's central bank said in a statement it will allow its banks to import and export more gold as part of a program to push forward the development of the country's market in the precious metal. This is part of the on-going effort to further liberalize the gold market broaden gold's appeal throughout China. China has long been unable to fully explore gold demand. This is another step along that road.

Peak Gold? Maybe So / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
It was just a few years ago that the world was realizing that Hubbert's Peak, a forecast set some decades prior, was proving to be incredibly true with oil. While no one expects that oil will ever disappear in its entirety, we know that at the rate it is used, cheap oil may be gone forever. Will gold have a similar fate? Well, one industry insider believes that may be the case.

China Economic Crash Looming While India Jewelry Zooming / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
China's extreme economic growth rates were met by both cheerleaders and detractors, many of whom were afraid that the real estate expansion was just another repeat of the US growth from 2002-2007. One of the key elements of the Chinese economic situation is its impact on precious metals, with many analysts stretching the news to say that a Chinese slowdown is bad for metals. But how? The greater impact on metals comes from India.
