Gold and Silver Signs of Fatigue / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
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.

Gold's Allure Tied to Interest Rates / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Michael_Pento
The continued bull market in the price of gold has been one of the staple discussions in the financial media for the better part of a decade. But, in that time, almost no consensus has emerged to explain the phenomenon. If you ask ten Wall Street pundits to explain the upward movement, you will most likely get nearly ten different answers.

A Politician In Every POT / Commodities / Metals & Mining
By: HRA_Advisory
[Journal Preface] Did we mention we’re contrarians at heart? As October wore on and legions of new “experts” declared resources the place to be we started to get uncomfortable with the sudden surfeit of company we had in the metals space. Not that we mind fresh buyers coming in after we own something. Far from it. Still, things became so good so quickly it’s hard not to get nervous.

North America is the New Saudi Arabia, Natural Gas is the Future of Energy / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Money_Morning
Kent Moors, Ph.D. writes:
Sometimes the most important impact on a raw material commodity comes less from its actual extraction and more from how product is introduced into new markets.
Indeed, that is becoming the next major development in North American natural gas. The expansion in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports may well hold the key to turning a glut into advancing profit.

By: Midas_Letter

Is Gold a Bubble, If So When Will it Pop? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Washingtons_Blog
When everyone from Jim Cramer to Mr. T is hawking gold - and when the price has risen to all-time highs - it sure feels like a bubble.
On the other hand, the super rich - who presumably know a thing or two about investing - are buying gold by the ton.

Gold Tumbles, What's Going to Happen Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: INO
Last week everyone was cheering as gold and other commodity markets were making new highs. This week however, things have changed as everyone seemed to want to jump through the same door, at the same time, putting a great deal of downside pressure on many markets.
This phenomenon sometimes happens when people have multiple positions in multiple markets in the same direction. When they start to take profits, there is no one left to buy.

By: Money_Morning
Amos Richards writes:
Gold last week careened to a record high $1,414.85 an ounce in a surge that was sparked by the U.S. Federal Reserve's plan to purchase $600 billion of U.S. Treasuries in a second phase of quantitative easing (QE2).
The yellow metal may have yet more room to run, as uncertainty in the marketplace remains high and the dollar low.

MarketWatch Attempts to Explain "Why Gold is a Bad Investment" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Mike_Shedlock
Jonathan Burton at MarketWatch attempts to present a case Why gold is a bad investment.
Read full article... Read full article...Gold isn’t like a stock or a bond. It offers no income, no dividend, no earnings. It is considered a store of value, an alternative currency that’s safe beyond reproach, but it is not cash in the bank, or even the mattress. Gold has no untapped intrinsic value; it is worth only what people are willing to pay for it. And lately, many people have been only too willing.

Why You Should Have Silver as well as Gold in Your Portfolio / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Lorimer_Wilson
Jerry Western writes: Silver has had quite a run the last couple months so it’s no surprise that it has gained much attention and interest from investors – even more so than gold. It is extremely volatile, however, and tends to rise or fall in spurts so I’d like to focus on its attributes as compared to gold, make a case for holding some, and discuss some ultimate price possibilities.
