Let’s Talk About Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: David_Vaughn

Wow!  What can you say about gold?!

It’s amazing how quickly now things are developing.  The dollar is falling faster than anyone guessed and the rise of inflation will be just around the corner. What we are entering now is equivalent to falling into a black hole.  We have gone too far with the mindless money creation.  Now the rest of the world realizes that any investment in the dollar is guaranteed simply to depreciate.  Even light does not escape from the depths of a black hole.  The US dollar sure isn’t going to do any better.

Global Recession Ending Good News for Secular Agri-Food Trends / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

This past weekend while reading Barron’s we were delighted to find that another researcher had discovered Agri-Food investing. However, the recommendations were fairly indicative of someone early in the discovery process. We think that is the case with many investors. They have been waiting to have the story verified by stock prices. That has been done.

EIA Data Points to a Bullish Natural Gas Market / Commodities / Natural Gas

By: Joseph_Dancy

Last week the Energy Information Administration released their ‘EIA-914’ report on natural gas production in the U.S. for the month of July. Production decreased 0.7 bcf/day from the previous month—a relatively bullish report. It was the fifth month in a row that production declined, reflecting the fact that the U.S. natural gas drilling rig count has fallen by over half from the highs last fall.

Protecting Yourself From Inflation With Precious Metals… Funds? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Przemyslaw_Radomski

Although some investors argue that it is deflation that is in the cards, not inflation, I believe that one should at least one step just in case the massive amount of capital that has been pumped into the sliding economy causes a deterioration in the value of the currency. This step is making sure that one’s portfolio has at least one asset that will retain value should dollar’s value drop significantly.

Gold Supported by Crude Oil at Yearly High and USD Near Record Lows / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: GoldCore

Gold is currently trading at $1,055.60/oz. With oil reaching a new high for the year above $79 a barrel, and the Federal Reserve signaling interest rates will stay near record lows for the foreseeable future, the beleaguered greenback fell to a 14-month low on the dollar index. The poor jobs number on Friday left lingering doubts regarding the sustainability of the recovery and this also supported gold.

Does Aden Gold $5,000 Forecast Suggest 5,000% Gains for Junior Miners? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Lorimer_Wilson

The only bull market we can compare the current eight year rise in the price of gold to is the ten year rise in the 1970s. The Aden sisters, Mary Anne and Pamela, have extrapolated the future price of gold using the same growth rate as in the ‘70s and applied it to the current bull market and reported their findings in their latest Aden Forecast. They determined that if one were to compare the bull market’s second rise from 1976 to 1980 to the current bull market we could see gold eventually reach $4,100 during the next run-up. They further reported that if one were to take the entire bull market gain in the 1970s at 2,300% and extrapolate it to today’s situation then $5,800 would be the equivalent upside target.

Is the Gold Price Too High? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Howard_Katz

“I’m sorry,” Mr. Katz.  But I didn’t buy gold when it was below $1,000/oz. as you advised.  And now I am afraid to buy because it is too high.  What should I do?

This question underlines one important fact of the markets.  Playing any market does not consist of just one or two decisions.  It consists of a new decision every day.  The gold bugs of the 1970s did not simply make two decisions (a buy in mid 1970 and a sell in January 1980).  They were confronted with a new situation every day for ten years.  They had to make 2500 decisions.  They did not have to make all of them correctly, but they did have to make most of them corr

Fool's Gold Basis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009

By: Professor_Emeritus

A year ago I conducted a Seminar on the gold basis and backwardation in Canberra, Australia. I suggested to my audience that the gold basis (premium in the nearby futures on spot gold, with negative basis meaning backwardation) as a "pristine indicator that, unlike the gold price, cannot be manipulated or falsified by the banks or by the government. Thus it is a true measure of the perennial vanishing of spot gold from the market, never to return, at least not as long as the present fiat money system endures."

By: Merv_Burak

The market action is signaling a short term topping activity but not yet one of a longer term nature.  The next few days or weeks may give us a better clue as to the longer term direction for gold.

Where's Crude Oil Going Next? Boom or Bust / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Oakshire_Financial

Everyone's been complaining about the cost of living as the economic crunch really takes hold. Money's getting tighter, everything's getting more expensive and the government's "inflation" numbers don't seem to be totally accurate or honest.

But fortunately for our pocketbooks, oil hasn't yet gone on the sort of giddy rise we've seen in the stock market (and gold too, for that matter).
