By: Mike_Paulenoff
As we speak, the streetTRACKS Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) is pressing to the downside again its Aug-Sep support line (72.00), which if violated and sustained should trigger downside follow-through to 71.00 at a minimum and possibly 70.00 thereafter prior to the emergence of new buying interest. I am on the sidelines in the GLD until this correction runs its course.Read full article... Read full article...

Staying with the trend can be profitable but is it time for the trend to end?
GOLD
Everybody's getting all excited because we are hitting new 27 year highs so I thought I'd show you what all the excitement is about. For technicians things are really getting hot. We have all sorts of projections based upon short, intermediate and long term charts, many of these projections you have read in these commentaries. What about the very long term, you might ask. You have heard about the $1600 projection but where does it come from? Well, here we have the very long term P&F chart that gets us there and possibly beyond.

Gold and Silver Analysis - Precious Points: Is This the Big One? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Joe_Nicholson
“A new attempt at $725 is entirely likely given the expectations for next week, but losing the psychologically important 7-handle is also a realistic possibility. A move of the 5-week moving average above $700 for the first time in this entire bull market would be a more convincing indication of the sustainability of the current move. The next move in silver could be in either direction, but … recent action has been encouraging. There's no lack of reasons to be cautious at these lofty levels… far from a call to sell gold and silver, it is a call for caution”. ~Precious Points: Old Number 7 , September 15, 2007Read full article...

Gold's Positive Climate - Some Key Features Have Changed / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Liquidity relief coming from the U.S, the U.K and European Central Banks to the banking system, is still struggling to unfreeze the system, simply because it is cash and not an underwriting of dubious investments. Some read the drop in interest rates in the U.S. will bring instant relief to the driver of the U.S. economy, the besieged U.S. consumer, but no such thing will happen until rates are much lower still and confidence restored. Why? Read full article... Read full article...

The Breakout in the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mario_Innecco
Yesterday (Friday, September 21st, 2007) the gold price for physical purchase was fixed at $737.00 per troy ounce in the London P.M. session. The gold price is fixed twice a day in London. The A.M. fixing is done from 10:30 onwards and the P.M. fixing is done from 15:00 onwards. The reason why we are looking at the P.M. fixing is that during this period the major financial markets of Europe and the United States are open so this fixing price is very representative of physical demand for gold bullion.Read full article...

How to Buy Gold - Online Gold Bullion Investing / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This week US interest rates were cut by 0.5% as a direct consequence of the credit crunch. This sparked a sell off in the US dollar to new lows not only against other currencies but also sent commodity prices soaring, including a soaring Gold price hitting a 27 year high.
Russian and Chinese governments together with private investors are all buying gold bullion in strength as the credit crunch shows the inherent weakness in the world governments monetary policies, which may be about to ignite hyper-inflation. Owning physical gold is fast returning as the favoured way to secure wealth against the rising tide of fiscal irresponsibility as governments continue to devalue their currencies by printing money, as evident of soaring money supplies in the range of 12% to 20% per annum.

Gold Bull Market - The Best is Yet to Come ! / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Aden_Forecast
THIS IS IT!
All of the pieces have fallen into place.
Gold was near a 27 year high, oil was at a record high, stocks in the U.S. and globally remained bullish, the currencies were strong and the U.S. dollar was near a record low. The Fed then lowered the Fed Funds and Discount rates by a half percent on Tuesday, which triggered or reinforced strong breakouts in these markets, leaving no question that the major market trends are solid and strong.

Gold is Still Cheap in Real-terms - Real Gold Highs 2 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Zeal_LLC
Holy cow! How about that gold price this week? With the Ancient Metal of Kings powering to awesome new bull-to-date highs, gold traders are rejoicing. The Bernanke Fed's reckless decision on Tuesday to shove the ailing US dollar off a cliff has really ignited a fire under international gold investment demand.
$725+ gold is indeed remarkable to behold. It is a great blessing for us battle-hardened contrarians who were buying gold back in 2001 in the sub-$300 range when even mentioning “gold” in public triggered endless ridicule. Vindication, especially since it has been accompanied by legendary profits and rapidly multiplying wealth, has never been sweeter.

Why Silver is Set To GO THROUGH THE ROOF... / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Clive_Maund
It was somewhat odd that despite the extraordinarily bullish COT profile for silver, as of last weekend, gold took center stage and has soared during this week as predicted, despite its COT profile not being as dramatically bullish as that for silver, but that's fine by us as it has afforded time to get this article up. Of course, the reason for silver's underperformance relative to gold so far this week is not hard to find - silver broke down below important support last month, whereas gold didn't, and now silver is having to battle the resulting negative sentiment and supply overhang.
