U.S. Dollar Rally Is Hugely Bullish For Gold, Precious Metals / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Stewart_Dougherty
For many years, the common viewpoint has been that an inverse price relationship between the United States Dollar and gold constitutes the First Monetary Commandment, and that this Commandment is chiseled into a stone tablet before which markets must genuflect. This false and misleading “Dollar up, gold down” religion has been proselytized at enormous, covert, public expense by the best market manipulations the high priests of Dirty Money have ever been able to buy. This has been done to deceive and delude the people about the true nature of honest money, and its devious, diabolical and immoral imposters. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Casey_Research
Louis James, Senior Editor, Casey’s International Speculator
Last month I visited Peru again, penetrating perhaps a bit deeper but certainly higher up in the Andes than I’ve gone before. No nose-bleeds, but I’m not ashamed to admit that scrambling over rocks in search of boiling textures at 5,300 meters (17,400 feet) elevation left me wheezing like Darth Vader.
