Gold, Weaker Dollar, and US Exports / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
With the Chinese yuan and Brazilian reals off-limits to most retail investors, turning to gold may be the best bet. Even with the gold hitting the $1,400 an ounce mark, it’s still a good idea to allocate around 20% of your portfolio to this precious metal. Consider that over the last decade, gold is up by 17%. Compare this to stocks over the same period and you’ll see the difference. Stocks were up by only 1%.

Gold Standard Time / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The expression, “gold bug,” has two meanings. In politics, a gold bug is someone who favors the gold standard. The phrase was first used in the election of 1896 to indicate the supporters of William McKinley, who favored the gold standard, as opposed to the supporters of William Jennings Bryan, who favored adding silver to the system to increase the money supply. On July 9, 1896, Bryan gave a famous speech at the Democratic convention in Chicago in which he said: “You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”

The Gold and Silver Trading Play Has Gone To Greed? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The past few months it seems the gold and silver play has been getting a little crowed with everyone wanting to own gold. While I am a firm believer that these precious metals are a great hedge/investment long term, I can’t help but notice the price action and volume for both metals which looks to me like they are getting exhausted.

How HIGH Could Silver Go in December? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
There is no other way to describe silver's price movement of the past 13 weeks other than to call it parabolic. With that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to do a little study of past silver parabolic moves and see if I could get a handle on just how high silver could travel into December before it implodes.Read full article...

Gold Top Head and Shoulder (H&S) Pattern? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
It looks very much like we have reached a top in gold, but for how long? The past week has traced out the initial potential of a head and shoulder reversal pattern (more on this below) which, if completed, would project to at least the $1230 level. BUT the pattern IS NOT yet completed so there is still hope of more upside. What are the odds?

Target Zones for Buying Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Jeff Clark, Senior Editor, BIG GOLD writes: Yesterday, we looked at the major spikes and corrections in gold in order to determine where we might buy, so let's look at the same with silver today.
As you know, silver is more volatile than gold. That means two things. If you own it, expect the price to have bigger surges and larger downdrafts. And if you're buying it, you have greater opportunity to snag it at lower prices.

Beginning of The Gold Plunge, or Just a Golden Breather? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
It’s no secret that the U.S. is borrowing too much, that China manipulates its currency and that Europe’s fiscal troubles are growing at the same time that “the luck of the Irish” is running out. There does not seem to be any international political will to cooperate to rectify any of these imbalances.
The G-20 meeting in Seoul, South Korea, achieved nothing to improve global imbalances and end the currency conflicts.

Why Are Gold and Silver Falling Despite Currency War? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
National interests dominateStarting with the U.S. and its response to global annoyance at quantitative easing, we see that the U.S. has little choice but to follow its mandated path of using its money to stimulate growth inside the U.S. In turn, China feels that to maintain social order within its borders it must hold down the Yuan to keep its manufacturing sector healthy in the global marketplace. Following those examples, every other nation will frame its exchange rate policy on a similar basis, with the emphasis on internal price stability for the benefit of local employment. These are the rules of the currency game as well as the root of the potential failure of currencies to operate internationally.

Gold Investor Antidote to Globalists Threat to U.S. Dollar Gold Investments / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
“Dollars newly printed for free by The Private for-Profit Fed (and loaned at interest to the U.S. Taxpayer) diminish the Purchasing Power of those already in circulation. Therefore, Quantitative Easing is Taxation without Representation.” Deepcaster
“Let the economists gasp: The classical gold standard, the one that was in place from 1880 to 1914, is what the world needs now. In its utility, economy and elegance, there has never been a monetary system like it…

Gold Bull Market Seasonal Rally Analysis / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Following gold’s sharp retreat over the past week or so, traders are wondering how low it will go. Is this metal in a pullback or a correction? The former is a minor and healthy mid-upleg event, a great buying opportunity. But a full-blown correction is a major upleg-ending selloff, meaning the worst is yet to come. Interestingly, today’s gold seasonals are one argument in favor of the milder pullback scenario.

Gold and Silver Signs of Fatigue / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
The biggest point of discussion over the past few days has been the relative strong performance of the US Dollar and its impact on precious metals. Precious metals continue to be negatively correlated with the USD Index, although to a lesser extent. Gold, silver and mining stocks have held much of their recent gains even as the dollar rallied. It appears that metals have been moving in tune with the general stock market more so than the dollar and it seems that when watching stocks has become more important recently for precious metals investors. A rally is likely in the coming months and a stronger correlation could be seen in the days ahead.
