Which Metal Is Shining More, Copper or Gold? / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: Bill_Downey
For any investor trying to sum up the copper situation, he/she must come to grips with many conflicting forces all vying to affect its price. The mass media continues to send signals that the worst is over and recovery is at hand in the global market place. Meanwhile some pretty savvy analysts on the internet are telling us to hold on to our buttocks as the next wave of credit contraction is upon us this fall as the commercial real estate market is about to embark on the same road as the residential real estate market followed last year. If this is the case then the markets could be in for another bout of cascading selloffs as were witnessed last year. Let’s discuss both, and then look at the price charts to see if they offer clues and potential tactics we might employ.

A bubble is when prices gets distorted from fundamentals by speculation, fear, market manipulation...etc; they are different from cycles which are the natural trade-off and re-adjustment of supply and demand; the difference is that bubbles pop (The Seven Immutable Laws of Bubbles: Example, Housing Markets in USA, UK & Duba). The problem with understanding gold is it's hard to work out the fundamentals, which explains why there are so many myths about it.

Precious Metal Storage......Industry Leader is Leaving the Individual Storage Business / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Bob_Coleman
When an industry leader offers exceptionally low rates for storing precious metals it is easy to become complacent to the real costs associated with storage. Part of a successful storage program is to offer a service that is competitively priced without sacrificing safety. If the program’s expenses do not meet their incoming revenue, a decision has to be made. What many large depositories are finding out is that the old depository model for storing precious metals is simply unprofitable. The costs associated with storage and insurance are only rising. Some large depositories are raising their fees and others are walking away.

Correlations between Commodity Trading Advisors & Trend Follwers / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Andrew_Abraham

Both are great questions..First in my opinion out of the thousands of commodity trading advisors, I would only consider diversified trend followers. This cuts out the options strategies that I have seen too often blow up.

Commodities Trading Analysis for Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The rising tide lifts all boats, and that is exactly what we saw last week. Gold, silver, oil, natural gas, and stocks all put in a solid bounce last week.
All our funds put in solid moves with GLD, SLV and GDX all breaking out of their down trend channels which is bullish. While they have generated breakout buy signals we continue to wait for more price action to unfold before putting our hard earned money to work. Each of these funds currently have over 3% down side risk so no position will be taken at this time.

Gold and Silver Rose Rapidly Along With Most Stocks, But Is The Bottom Already In? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
One way to make a killing in gold is to forgo blueberry picking. I read an article in this week’s New York Times about two Swedish grandmothers who found, what experts say, may be one of the richest gold deposits in Europe. The blueberry crop failed that summer, so instead of looking for blueberries, as they did every summer, these amateur geologists went prospecting around their small village.

Crude Oil Price Collapse Portends of Larger Monumental Rise / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Ronald_Rosen
There is little known or written about the reason why crude oil was required to undergo a monumental collapse similar to a huge dive. This monumental collapse portends an even bigger and more monumental rise. In jest i would like to call this reason “the rule of rosen.” However, i know better than to usurp in any way those forces that are far more powerful than any mortal or collection of mortals.

By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Even after a massive recovery with sustained gains the gold stocks are still significantly undervalued. At the major highs of Gold $1030/oz and HUI 520, the costs to these companies were very high.
