Learning from History: The Future Possibility of Silver Confiscation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
The history of confiscation of precious metals is well documented, with literally tons of gold and silver ripped from the hands of ordinary Americans during the financially tumultuous years of the Great Depression. However, history books and academic research rarely shine light into the confiscation of silver and rather focus on gold, even though both were made illegal for a total of 40 years.

Silver Price Close to Making a Bottom / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
Is America going to hell? It certainly seems that way if you read about the “post- American” world and listen to the television news programs that eulogize America’s position as the premier superpower. That is the reason why it was refreshing to read a reassuring article in latest issue of Atlantic Magazine.

Gold and Economy Recoverygeddon / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Neil_Charnock
This so called recovery is problematic and now it is slowly entering a new dangerous phase. Bank losses
have now been eclipsed as the major issue as sovereign debt emerges in a more sinister manner. This is
only part of the problem and it will be overcome in the short term leading to resumed market growth. The
real problem is the debt cycle and the emerging sovereign default concerns are showing us the future.

Gold Price Suffers From Lack of U.S. Money Supply Growth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The great blizzard that rolled across the eastern United States this past week should have served as an icy funeral pyre for the Global Warming Scam. Charles Ponzi was a rank amateur when compared to the attempt by climate evangelists to extract money from the gullible public. These would be weather Madoffs dream of the money extracted from the public by Keynesian economists, the clear champions of money Ponzi schemes. Money that appears to have been squandered.

By: Richard_Shaw
If electric cars are adopted by the market in the US and abroad, there will be a shift in the relative demand growth rate for certain basic materials.
While global population growth and average global standard of living increases will raise overall materials demand across the board, a move toward electric cars, particularly plug-in electric cars, will change the composition of basic materials demand growth.

A Stern Reality Check for Gold Naysayers / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Needless to say, Thursday was nothing short of an orgasmic day for Gold bears and Dollar bulls. The precious metals complex crumbled along with the Euro, while the greenback was higher. In fact, it was such a bad day that Gold officially lost its safe-haven status, according to CNBC. This was also noted by Elliot Wave and The Business Insider. All proclaimed that Gold was no safe haven.

Gold Extremely Choppy, Hit by Fund Liquidations / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF GOLD reversed an early 0.8% gain in London on Monday, revisiting Friday's finish of $1066 per ounce in what dealers called "lackluster" but "choppy" trade after last week's "widespread liquidation."
European stock markets also gave back an initial rally, while the US Dollar held the Euro near Friday's new 9-month lows.

Gold Technically Damaged But Fundamentals Remain Sound / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold closed lower in US trading on Friday at $1,057/oz. It traded sideways in Asian trading prior to jumping from $1,066/oz to $1,073.50/oz in early trade in Europe. Gold is currently trading at $1,070.20/oz and in euro and GBP terms, gold is trading at €783/oz and £688/oz respectively. Gold's 2.7% fall (in US dollars) last week led to further technical damage and may embolden some traders to short the market. Read full article... Read full article...

U.S. Dollar Rally Threatens to Upset the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Miles_Banner
Last week the gold price dropped 2.3 percent. The silver price dropped 7.2 percent and the FTSE 100 index closed down 2.5 percent. Just as everything went up together in 2010 [see our article ‘The Three Major Questions That Will Determine the Gold Price in 2010’] everything comes down together too.

Gold Investors Fateful House, $1000 The Buying Opportunity of the Decade? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
“How blind are those who cannot see the forest for the trees?” - John Heywood
Gold’s action was scary last week – for all those who focus only on the short term. But these are precisely the people who cannot see the big picture. And because they cannot see the big picture they cannot predict the big move. And the big money, I remind you, is made in the big move.

Gold to Benefit from Inevitable More Bailouts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
Public and private debt will be printed up out of thin air and used to replace the bad private and public debt plaguing the financial world. As the insanity progresses, more and more will turn to Gold. Whether we are headed for an implosion that is deflationary, inflationary, or both, confidence in our current financial system will become mortally wounded. This is why the Dow to Gold ratio will reach 2 and may even go below 1 this cycle. It's a confidence cycle as well as an economic cycle.

Gold, Stay Away Until the Dust Settles / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
Gold looks great if you turn the page upside down. Otherwise, one might just stay away for a while until the dust settles. The NYMEX close for gold was $1052.80 while only an hour or two later the Globex electronic trading showed gold at $1065. One might just wonder what goes on here.

Gold Crumbles in the Face of U.S. Dollar Strength / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Clive_Maund
Gold performed as predicted in the last update, rallying up to the top of its Descending Triangle before reversing and crashing support at the bottom of the Triangle on Thursday. Many traders were startled by the magnitude of the Thursday's $45 drop. It was a bearish development for reasons we will come to shortly, but paradoxically it was immediately followed by a "Reversal Day" on Friday, which is a sign that the steep drop has exhausted itself - for now. Bulls, who were poleaxed by Thursday's plunge, are already dancing on the rooftops proclaiming that the "correction" is over as a result of the recovery late on Friday. So what are we to make of this seemingly contradictory market action? Let's see what the chart is saying.
