Debt Crisis Bond Market Collapse, Gold Investor Safe Haven / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: The_Gold_Report
Talking heads are waxing enthusiastic over signals that the recession is receding, but debris from the derivatives debacle won't go away without a total financial system collapse, according to 321gold.com founder Bob Moriarty in this exclusive Gold Report interview. "Nobody and nothing is going to stop it from happening. It is as absolute as the time and tides," he says. While folks are all hunkered down in their bunkers waiting for the apocalypse, though, he suggests investing any spare cash in resource stocks—a "slam dunk" now that they're cheaper than they've been in nearly a decade.

Gold Will Emerge as the Only Safe Haven / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
In the wake of continuing global financial turmoil, we hear quite a bit about “safe havens.” Ask someone today and they’d tell you that the US Treasuries are a safe haven and probably Gold also. On a day-to-day basis, certainly the US Dollar and US Treasuries are safe havens. The financial media loves to point that out while noting big single day losses in Gold. In today’s world, it seems that few people are aware of Gold’s status as a safe haven for 5,000 years or even only for the last ten years.

Gold Boosted by Keynesian Economies Heading for Bankruptcy / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Greece may not be enough. Further economic bodies may be needed for the funeral pyre of Keynesian economics. While one after another nation demonstrates the critical flaws inherent to this dogma, governments seem to simply ignore the ramifications. Keynesian economics has only one terminal phase, and that is not prosperity but bankruptcy.
