Gold Bull Alive and Well ……….at least Outside the United States! / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Ronald_Rosen

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleCertain subscribers from Australia and Canada have been writing in during the year saying that they had bought gold when it was at $x, gold had gone up, and yet their investment had not. Well, with the exception of US citizens, gold is in a roaring bull market because of the exceptional strength of the US Dollar since March of this year. Far from topping out in March, gold in other countries is still reaching new highs. This strength caught most investors out, and particularly a number of hedge funds which have had to liquidate because of losses incurred through being short of the dollar and long commodities.

End of Private Banking System Era and the Gold Primary Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Brian_Bloom

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleSome months ago this analyst began voicing his view that what we are witnessing is the end of an old era and the commencement of a new one. Events of the past two weeks have certainly had no precedent. Comparing the market's behavior today with that of 1929-1933 ignores the fact that in those days there was not the quadrillion dollar derivatives risk exposure that some analysts argue exists today.

Trading the Silver to Gold Price Ratio / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Peter_Degraaf

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleHistorically (1808 – 2008), the ratio between gold and silver has been 33 ounces of silver equals one ounce of gold. More recently, say 1978 – 2008, the ratio has widened to on average, 60 ounces of silver buys one ounce of gold. At the extremes the ratio fell to 17:1 in 1980 as both metals peaked; and rose to 100:1 in 1991 during the depth of the recession.

Why Gold Is Dropping When It Should Be Rising / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Alex_Wallenwein

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhy is gold dropping right now when anyone in their sane mind would expect it to rise? The simple answer to this question is, “because Comex-gold isn't gold” – and because it deceptively pretends to be 'the' price-setter for real gold.

Gold is gold, paper is paper, and “Comex gold” is nothing but paper masquerading as gold while simultaneously pretending to be the price-setting medium for actual gold in the world. Now, finally, Comex-gold is in the process of being unmasked.

A Credit Crisis? No its a Confidence Crisis! Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleEvents on the banking, credit and foreign exchange fronts are behaving in a startling and frightening way. Not only are equity markets crashing but currencies are worrisome especially now with what appears to be a strong $, but falling against the Yen. We saw a dropping € against the $, with the news from the Eurozone confirming it is infected with the same financial virus as the States. With both currencies weakening, their relationship to each other is losing relevance as they fall against gold. This is now confirmed as gold broke through the $900 barrier this week. Yes, as the currencies are falling against gold, it's not simply a credit crisis out there. Let's call a spade a spade; it's a confidence crisis!
