Gold Markets At A Crossroad – What Now? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Dudley_Baker
We are very bullish for the long-term for the resource sector, i.e., gold, silver and the resource shares. However, we need to live life and the markets in real time and the question is where are we now and what should investors do, if anything?
The big question mark is for the short-term (several weeks) and the immediate term (1 – 3 months).

Gold May Outshine Silver in the Medium Term / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Political as well as economical developments around the globe, especially in the Middle East, have affected the commodity markets during the previous week. Notwithstanding the uncertainty associated with the social illness, a strong demand has supported the precious metals. Talking about the reasons, Chinese New Year celebrations top the discussions. The growth in demand is being attributed in part to Chinese families giving each other gifts of gold instead of traditional red envelopes filled with cash. Fears of inflation have also driven demand for gold.

Eye on FCX as Gold and Silver Shine / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Increasingly, my near-term work is bullish on Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold (NYSE: FCX) as it moves in a sideways triangular consolidation. If the sharp upmove in the precious metals is for real, FCX must participate. If it fails to climb with gold and silver continuing to strengthen, then I will view its divergence as a major warning signal about the miners as well as the underlying upmove in the bullion.

Are Gold And Silver Prices Going To Turn Up? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As we write, the gold price is at $1,364 having bounced off support at $1,324. It is now consolidating, so we have to ask is it about to return to an upward movement longer-term? If it is just consolidating before another strong drop we need to know because it could mean that the long-term upward trend will be broken. For sure the gold market has moved into one of those high risk areas where one expects a sudden and a strong mover, either way. But if it is going to rise, then we are at the point where we should be entering or re-entering the market. The trader may well find himself taking a 'spreading' position and the medium or long-term investor must decide to go in or stay out. The Technical picture is not as conclusive to them as they would like, so they may only enter once they see a clear direction. What process should an investor go through when a market is in this condition?

Gold Game Changer: J.P. Morgan Accepts Bullion as Money / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Janet_Tavakoli
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. announced on February 7, 2011 that it will accept physical gold as collateral for investors that want to make short-term borrowings of cash or securities.

Gold Real Time Bubble Data / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Blasi
I would like to share some hard data pertaining to one of the most critical characteristics associated with an investment bubble. Even though the usual cheerleaders for paper assets and the "debt is wealth" mindset would most likely dismiss the evidence as anecdotal, the uniqueness of the data set should give it extra weight, in my opinion. The consistent element I am referring to is retail investment participation. Why the information forthcoming is of particular worth is not only does it underscore the low participation rate of retail investors in precious metals, but the source of the information comes from an investment environment that renders meaningless the typical excuses for investors to not have taken a position in gold and silver.

JP Morgan Accepts Gold Bullion as Collateral, Silver Backwardation to Lead to Short Squeeze? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: GoldCore
Gold is marginally lower in euro, pound and dollar terms and marginally higher in Japanese yen and Swiss francs. Silver is higher in all currencies. With gold’s 0.51% higher close last week (first rise in 5 weeks) and silver’s 4% rally, the bears will be nervous that the recent downward trend may have reversed.

Gold Bottoms and Moving Higher But on Low Volume / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Merv_Burak
Gold bottomed and looks to be moving higher BUT the volume is just not there to be encouraging. The next week or so will tell us if it is going towards higher levels or if the downside will continue.
Time constraints and no chit chat this week, just the facts.

It’s Super Gold Monday! / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Chris_Vermeulen
While Ben Bernanke says we are not seeing any inflation, I think most of us know that is a load of BS as other countries like Egypt see food prices surging. Over the past couple years everyone has been talking about how inflation will soon start and that has been one of the main driving forces for higher precious metals prices.

Newmont Buys Out Fronteer, What’s Next In The Gold Mining Sector? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011
By: Jeb_Handwerger
Even though January 2011 brought a lot of profit-taking to mining stocks and precious metals, the leadership of Newmont (NEM) has used this pullback in prices to purchase one of my long-term favorite recommendations, Fronteer Gold (FRG). I believed Fronteer was a great candidate for a takeout. Newmont has gone straight ahead believing in Fronteer’s three major projects in Nevada and buying Fronteer out for a 37% premium. Newmont believes that the gold prices is moving much higher and they are using their large cash position to find growth. It is much cheaper to buy a quality asset rather than go out and find it yourself. Read full article... Read full article...
