When This Indicator Says to ‘Buy Gold,’ It’s Never Wrong / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Peter Krauth writes: When I recently predicted that the long-term trends were in place to send gold to $5,000 an ounce, I was stunned by all the attention that my forecast received.
Granted, a move of that magnitude represents a dizzying long-term profit opportunity. But that's just it - it's a long-term profit opportunity.

Has Gold Had Its Day? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Again this week, the minutes of the Fed's meeting gave cause for concern as they stated that the risks to the U.S. economy had moved to the downside. While this cannot be read as a forecast of the 'double-dip' recession, it moves it from possible to probable in our eyes. With the U.S. and developed world [excluding Asia] supposedly on the path to recovery, it has been very "L" shaped. It is at that sensitive stage where it needs people to believe that it will get better and become supportive through spending and buying again.

Gold, Crude Oil and SP500 Technical Trading Patterns / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
It was an interesting options expiration week for equities that’s for sure. We saw some very choppy price action with large waves of buying and selling as the bulls and bears fought for control.
Both Gold and Oil closed lower for the week which is not a good sign considering the US Dollar dropped like a rock along with them.

Gold Prices Holding Up Well / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Despite Portugal’s sovereign debt being down graded the eurocrats have managed to calm the waters and keep the euro reasonably steady. Austerity is the word for the Europeans, real or imagined, whereas stimulus is the word for the United States. Interestingly the euro is steady but the dollar has lost 6.8% of its value in just over a month as the spot light once again is focused on the fundamentals of the dollar. Throw in a down grade from the Chinese and things don’t look to bright for the US sovereign debt.

Summer Slump Good for Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
A professional investor with Boy Scout genes in his DNA, Mercenary Geologist Mickey Fulp picks winners in the junior resource sector based on three criteria: share structure, people and projects. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, Mickey touches on how he studies up on such key factors as insider holdings that indicate management's skin in the game and the public float necessary for liquidity. He also suggests that the summer slump—with low volumes and low prices—is a good time for some homework on equities that could double within 12 months.

Gold Consolidates in the Summer Doldrums as Dollar Falls Sharply / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold eked out small gains yesterday as the dollar fell sharply on concerns about the US economic outlook which the poor Google and JP Morgan results did not help.

Gold is currently trading at $1,206/oz, €930/oz and £785/oz.

Gold Strategy To Turn $10,000 into $2 Million / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Dr. Steve Sjuggerud writes:I came up with a Simple Strategy to tell you when to own gold... and when not to.
It's so simple, you could teach a monkey to follow it.
Best of all, $10,000 invested in this Simple Strategy would have turned into nearly $2 million. Just buying and holding gold over the same time period would have turned $10,000 into just $300,000.

Gold New All Time Highs in Euros Likely / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
Gold continues to consolidate above the $1,200/oz level and traded in a range between $1,207/oz and $1,215/oz overnight in Asia. Gold has risen slightly in European trade as the dollar has come under pressure. The poor retail sales have created concerns about the health of the US consumer and the other poor recent data on jobs and trade and budget deficits may see the dollar come under pressure again. Support for gold is at $1,195/oz and resistance is at $1,217.90/oz.

Why Gold Bullion is Outperforming Mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
If the investment choice is between mining stocks and physical bullion, it is essential to remember that these are different asset classes with entirely different risk/reward attributes. Mining stocks and bullion perform quite differently when the global economic environment is in turmoil, as is the case today. Banking crises, trillion-dollar deficits and the accelerating depreciation of many of the world’s major currencies do not create positive conditions for equity markets, which is why investors are fleeing to the safety of physical bullion.
