Gold Price in No Mans Land / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Fresbee
Gold is in what I call “No Mans Land”. It is one of the most difficult situations to be in as there are equal number of Gold bears and bugs around. Mind you Gold bugs: Bears have their case and it is not as bad as it looks like for the bears.
But I personally think the bugs have a stronger case and will ultimately win but not as emphatically as they are expecting it to be. For example a $5000 /ounce is out of question!

Gold Price Stealthly Creeping Higher Towards New Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
Little by little gold is creeping higher. It still has a way to go before new highs are reached but that may only be a matter of time.
“Just the facts, ma’am” as Joe Friday would say. Actually, he apparently never said those exact words, they seem to have come from Stan Freiberg, but that’s another story. You over 70’s would know what I’m talking about.

Gold as Money is Power to the People / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Gary_North
Before I explain the title of this report, I want to prove to you that Americans are losing their liberties, day by relentless day. I also want to prove to you why it is that, unless there is an economic breakdown so severe that Washington D.C. goes broke, we will not get back these surrendered liberties. My demonstration will take approximately three minutes. For skeptics, it may take five minutes.

By: The_Gold_Report
Midas Letter publisher James West believes gold is the store of value everybody resorts to when times are rough. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, he acknowledges that producers represent a very well-performing, blue-chip investment, but also looks for those juniors where capital appreciation happens on the scale of hundreds of a percent almost overnight.

Gold Stocks Analysis and its Usefulness For Precious Metals Investors / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
In our previous essays we have covered the situation on the USD, gold and silver markets, but since there's more to the precious metals sector than just these two metals, we have decided to supplement the previous analysis by covering the precious metals stocks. If you are interested in trading gold and silver only, you might want to reconsider before clicking that X in your web browser's window - after all, precious metals stocks are highly correlated with the metals, and they even used to lead the metals in the past. Consequently, even if you are not interested in trading or investing in the PM stocks, you might still benefit by analyzing this part of the sector.

Gold, What’s More Important, Price Per Ounce or Ounces Owned? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jeff_Clark
Casey’s Gold & Resource Report In a recent conversation with a fellow gold analyst, he was emphatic that the price one pays for physical gold should be ignored. “What’s far more important,” he insisted, “is how many ounces I own in relation to the total value of my assets.”

Gold Euro Record Highs / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Zeal_LLC
After spending our entire lives in a dollar-dominated world, we Americans naturally view gold through a dollar-centric lens. We assume the gold charts we’re seeing are universal. But this isn’t the case, as investors around the globe view gold in their own local currencies. Recent developments in euro gold highlight the importance of keeping this truth in mind.

By: DailyWealth
Back in December, I got spooked about gold...
I actually told my subscribers to sell their gold. We sold a position we'd bought back in 2003, when gold was incredibly unpopular.

Why is the Gold Price Rising Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The piece we wrote on gold de-coupling from the $:€ exchange rate proved absolutely correct. The action of the last week has shown that as gold rose strongly in the € in the pound and is moving up in the $ alongside most currencies. More than that, market commentators are now mentioning this too. But this action involves far more than these two main currencies.

Penny Mining Shares, U.S. Dollar and Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Dudley_Baker
Penny mining shares are poised for incredible gains in the next 12 – 18 months. But before we discuss the details we believe it is necessary to lay a foundation with a brief discussion of the U.S. Dollar and gold.
Seems the world is fixated on the U.S. Dollar and many see it going substantially higher. In our opinion, the charts do not support that conclusion and we see the dollar having topped out and now heading lower.

Winning the Energy Investing Game with Zero-Risk Capital / Commodities / Energy Resources
By: The_Energy_Report
"In this game," according to Marin Katusa, senior editor of Casey's Energy Report, "you only get profits when you sell." The zero-capital investing philosophy he advocates wins the hearts and lines the pockets of investors. At the same time, though, it often puts him in the doghouse with some the companies and people he admires most. That's because following this strategy, you a) recoup your original investment once your stock rises, b) pull your original investment out, and then c) return for more when the price dips to the point that the company becomes an undervalued bargain. In addition to learning more about the Casey Free Ride approach and Marin's current energy sector views, get an early glimpse of the European shale plays that have captured his fancy in this exclusive Energy Report interview.
