Gold Safe Haven in the Worst Deflationary Slump since the 1930s / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne

U.S. Dollar Double Top Points to New Gold Bull Run / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Gold ran at its highs of last March, before reacting back heavily, as expected and predicted in the last update. The 1-year chart makes very clear why it has reacted back so. It hit the upper return line of a steep uptrend channel in a very overbought condition as shown by the RSI and slow stochastic on this chart, and various other oscillators that are not shown. Hence it had very little chance of following through with a breakout to new highs, as we had earlier observed. Despite its retreating back from the vicinity of its dollar highs there can be doubt that recent action has been bullish and augers well for the future, for with the break above the October highs, gold can be seen to have broken the trend of lower highs and lower lows that dogged it last year, with the result that all its principal moving averages have swung into bullish alignment - and it has broken above the last restraining fan line, opening the door to another major upleg.

U.S. Dollar, Crude Oil and Gold Teetering Bull Markets / Commodities / Financial Markets 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past 6 months have been every interesting, as the financial markets try to find a bottom while banks go bankrupt and more and more investment scandals continue to pop up on the radar destroying investor's life savings literally over night. It still sounds crazy, when I hear banks are going bankrupt and it just goes to show anything can happen. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Adrian_Ash
"The bigger the top, the bigger the drop – whether in gold or the S&P index..."
A DOUBLE TOP – or so technical analysts say – is an ugly chart pattern signalling not only a reversal of trend, but an all-out collapse.

Investing in HUI Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Zeal_LLC
With gold getting a lot of attention in these wild markets, naturally its producers are also attracting interest. And almost silently, gold stocks have emerged from the depths of the 2008 stock panic to be the best-performing sector in the markets. From the November lows to this week, measured by the HUI gold stocks have soared 71% while the S&P 500 has merely ground sideways. Read full article... Read full article...

Pep Talk for Panicky Gold Investors / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jim_Willie_CB
SUDDEN SHIFT, FICKLE FOLKS - What a difference one week makes! With a gold price daring the $1000 mark in defiance, boldness prevailed, investors took heart, analysts cheered, and the establishment cringed. This week, with a very ordinary selloff in consolidation, optimism has vanished in what can only be characterized as silly. Gold & silver will take over the globe as anchors in a sea of shifting sands, all in time. We have seen the crude oil price fall from $140 something to $40 something, the Dow Jones Industrial stock index fall from 14,000 something to 7000 something, the housing price index fall every month by over 10% on an annual basis, and hundreds of billion$ vanish in bank equity.

How Does Silver Perform During Deflation? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
A question many of our readers have asked. Today, most investors are fairly convinced that gold does fairly well during a deflationary environment. Since gold has held better than all asset classes these past several months, many mistakenly believe that gold does best during inflations, but they are not sure about gold during deflations. The fact is, from times past, gold actually does best during deflations, rather than inflations.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold 2009 Supply and Demand Impact on Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As the gold holdings of the Barclays Gold Trust and the World Gold Council's gold Exchange Traded Funds across the globe grew larger than the gold holdings of Switzerland this week, we look at the dramatic shape of the likely Supply/Demand formula for 2009. Since the end of 2008 until now the gold market has changed shape and it promises to be a structural change should what we see now continue! Just how much gold is being absorbed at the moment from what sales and purchases? To understand this fully we have to look at the last reported figures in the gold market on Demand & Supply. [We use the numbers supplied by the World Gold Council for this purpose.] Read full article... Read full article...

War for Muslim Gold and Silver: Goldsmiths Part XXXIX / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Robert_Bradshaw
As discussed in an article on World Power Blocs at www.analysis-news.com , and in other Goldsmiths' material, there is strong evidence that in coming days the Muslim empire of the South will have treasures of gold and silver which may invite a military invasion, evidently by a power bloc in the North. The Northern power will seize, steal or otherwise take possession/rulership of the gold and silver treasures in the South. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Continues to Correct From Bull Run to $1000 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE SPOT PRICE OF GOLD continued to slide early Wednesday, recording their lowest London Gold Fix in seven sessions at $956.25 an ounce.
Crude oil held above $40 per barrel and government bonds were flat – yielding 2.82% on the 10-year US Treasury – after President Barack Obama assured TV viewers and Congress alike that although his massive stimulus spending means "We will rebuild, we will recover...the weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation."

Gold Production in South Africa Plunges to 90 Year Lows / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold fell yesterday on profit taking and ended the day down 2.3% at $969.25/oz (silver fell by 3.1% to $13.98/oz).
A short term correction was expected and warned of and this correction was necessary after gold becoming overbought in the short term. Gold had rallied over $100 (from $890/oz on February 9th to just over $1,000/oz on February 20th) or some 12% in less than two weeks. Such an appreciation in any asset class in such a short period of time is unsustainable.

Smart Money Moving Out of Gold: Trading Gold, SIlver and Oil ETF's / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past few days have been stressful, as I watched gold slowly work its way higher without a decent correction to take another position. Both gold and silver have been on a tear moving higher not allowing the more conservative trader like my self with a low risk setup and entry point. I am not a fan of chasing prices higher, as it generally leads to a quick loss when prices snap back and correct from an over bought state. This is what both gold and silver did today and I expect to see lower prices over the next week or so, depending on how fast they correct. Last Friday I mentioned the open interest on gold went down sharply, which told me that smart money was moving out of gold and that is always a RED FLAG. Let's take a look at the charts below because that's what trading is all about Price Action. Read full article... Read full article...
