Will the U.S. Dollar Rally End the Gold and Silver Bull Market? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
It has become clear to us that the media and so many institutional analysts are going to keep talking the $ up despite the lack of fundamental reasons. We feel that you will benefit most from a look at what lies ahead for the $ and its fundamentals and what could take it higher, if it does rise.

Gold Being Driven Higher by Speculation Not Real Physical Demand / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Over the last two days, we’ve looked at the current Gold bull market from historical and supply/ demand perspectives. Thus far, the data has lead us to believe that Gold has entered a speculative “mini-bubble” phase in bull market.
This scenario can of course change at any time should the public’s demand for physical bullion pick up again. However, until that occurs, Gold is in the same phase that Oil was in 2008: a speculative market in which sharp rallies or corrections can occur at any time.

Gold GLD ETF Heading Down Towards 1-Year Trendline / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The 12% drop in the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) from the Dec 3 high at 119.54 appears to have a bit more downside ahead, towards a confrontation with its 1-year trendline, now in the vicinity of 102.00 into 100.50 -- a support plateau that stretches back to March 2008.

Is Gold Going Higher or Popping Now? Part2 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
Yesterday, we analyzed the current bull market in Gold from a historical context. Right off the bat, we ran into some conflicting issues: from a timing perspective, Gold’s recent run is a little long of tooth, however, from a gains perspective, Gold still looks to have plenty of room to run (during the last Gold bull market, it rallied 750% during its second leg up).

Gold Continues to Fall as U.S. Dollar Rises / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD slipped to a new 7-week low for US investors early Tuesday, dropping through yesterday's low at $1090 per ounce as world stock markets rose and government bonds fell.
The US Dollar rose for the ninth time in 13 sessions on the forex market, hitting its best level against the "safe haven" Japanese Yen since the start of November.

Did Gold, GLD Just Go Parabolic? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
Apparently one test for a bubble popping is when prices start to go parabolic.

Gold Going Higher or About to Pop? Part1 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Graham_Summers
I get more emails and questions about Gold than any other investment class on the planet. With that in mind, I wanted to take a few minutes today to map out my thoughts on this subject.
For starters, we need to consider that there are, in fact, two types of Gold: actual physical bullion OR paper Gold (Gold as represented by an ETF or futures contract)

Gold Hit by End of Year Profit Taking / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
THE WHOLESALE PRICE of gold ticked higher in a tight range against the US Dollar early Monday, rising 1.9% from Friday's 5-week low in what dealers variously called "quiet", "lackluster" and "weak" trade.
Most Asian stock markets ended the day lower, but European share buyers showed a near-1% profit as banks and financial stocks bounced from last week's near-10% drops.

Gold Bugs Cheer Up, Happy Days Are Coming / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Howard_Katz
Gold bugs have been sad for the past few weeks as gold has tumbled from above $1200/oz. Cheer up gold bugs. Happy days are coming. One of the great buying opportunities of all time is just around the corner, and our next task at the One-handed Economist is to identify this buying point as closely as possible. As always, to get the really good stuff you must cross my palm with silver. However, do not let this discourage you.

U.S. Dollar is Going Up, Get Out of Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
Certain old market adages just don't seem to go away and are perpetuated by novice investors who seek to find some meaning in markets and their interrelationships. Mainstream financial commentators are more than happy to repeat and regurgitate such claptrap endlessly, creating "rock solid" market wisdom.

Silvers Failure to Breakout Means Get Out or Get Reamed / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Clive_Maund
Silver’s failure to break out to new highs during gold’s recent ramp was a clear non-confirmation with bearish implications. The underlying weakness is given added emphasis by the marked convergence of the major uptrend in force from October - December of last year. We can see this on silver’s 2-year chart.

Gold GLD and Oil USO ETF BubbleOmics Mis-pricing / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Andrew_Butter
Since it was “freed” from the dollar in 1971 and until quite recently the history of Gold was (1) central banks (allegedly) attempted to keep the price down by manipulating the market, and (2) there was a reasonably good correlation between the price of gold and the price of oil.

Gold Disaster Ahead? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
Thursday was a bummer. Is there a disaster ahead? The "blow-off" is continuing as expected but for how long? Questions, questions, but do we have any answers? Let's see.

Gold Bull Market Is Nowhere Near the Top / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
The U.S. dollar has reigned as the world's reserve currency for more than 60 years. That's a real anomaly in the history of paper money, according to Stansberry & Associates Investment Research founder Porter Stansberry, but the dollar's days on the throne are numbered. With a sea-change in the monetary system on the horizon—and drawing ever-nearer as more and more U.S. creditors turn toward hard assets and away from paper dollars—he tells The Gold Report in this exclusive interview that the world is approaching a return to "at least a de facto gold standard." Porter does not recommend bullion as "insurance" (because that suggests hope for the dollar when there is nothing to pin hope on) but rather as "the perfect natural money."

Is Financial Markets Volatiltiy a Bad Sign for the Gold Price? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Gold, is it inherently Volatile?
A 5% correction in one day, is this reasonable? That happened to gold and many would say was consistent with its reputation as a volatile market. But at the same time most markets reflected the same volatility and have recently been doing so regularly. Actually, gold’s reputation as a volatile market [when others are stable] is misplaced.
