China Central Bank Positive on Gold due to ‘Value Preservation’ / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold and silver remain supported by continuing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. Inflation, the European sovereign debt crisis, conflict in Libya and the wider Middle East and the nuclear disaster in Japan are all factors which will likely result in gold reaching new record nominal highs in all currencies sooner rather than later.Read full article...

Gold and Silver Sell Targets / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Why do you suppose that gasoline prices at stations on the corner near your home generally post the same price? While the companies might contend that their product's secret additive will make your car run faster, last longer, and cause your love life to be better, most of us cannot tell the difference. If we price our gasoline above the true equilibrium price, buyers will simply not buy our gasoline. That is true for gasoline, cannabis, and precious metals.

Gold and Silver Break Records on Libya, Japan, Portugal / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Midas_Letter
I don’t know how likely it is, but shouldn’t the gold price naysayers and gold bubble theorists all stand up on their chairs and jump off right about now?
There are so many factors pointing to not just an increasing gold (and silver) price, but an absolute breakout seems all but inevitable at this point. Judging by the solid return to strength in the junior resource sector on the buy side, it appears that not only gold, but silver too, are poised to set new records in the sessions immediately ahead.

Global Money Printing Q.E. Tsunami To Lift Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The entire world struggles to determine the fallout effects of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, along with the ensuing problems. The effects are so pervasive, so profound, so critical, that it is no wonder the news networks focus on two things only. They have switched emphasis to the Libyan civil war, a pitched battle to retain a tyrant and his larcenous rule. But the news stories out of Japan focus 98% on their Fukushima nuclear complex, with hardly a peep about the long list of other economic and financial effects. This article will focus on what they leave out, dutifully reporting amidst the purposeful new vacuum in a grand distraction.

Gold Stock Seasonality / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Many analysts focus on the seasonality of Gold and Silver. Why? It plays out most of the time. The metals tend to peak in the late spring and then bottom in the early summer before moving into the sweet spot of the year. When researching seasonality, I came across this chart from equityclock.com that shows the seasonality of the XAU Gold Stock Index.

Many military experts have suggested that the number of troops loyal to Gadhafi could be fewer than 10,000, and argued that Gadhafi will not last long at all

Gold and Silver Investors Don't Get Disrtraced by Japan Events / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
It's very difficult for a trader to stick to a plan and not let news events dictate decisions. But every once in awhile there are news items that come along and attempt to trip investors up, forcing some to take their eye off the big picture. Many of us understand the long-term potential of precious metals and commodities, but the emotions -- either unbridled enthusiasm or gloom and doom -- of the herd often affect our decisions negatively at short-term turning points. This past week the news out of Japan (iShares MSCI Japan Index (EWJ)) affected the majority of investors, who liquidated their positions and ran to the US dollar and to long-term Treasuries as safe havens, which I believe was a mistake as the G-7 came to the support of Japan.
