Silver, the U.S. Dollar and the Two American Citizenships / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
"To me, the most ominous flaw in our constitutional set-up is the fact that the federal government does not have control over money and credit and does not have control of corporations. It is therefore not really sovereign. And it is not really responsible, because it is now controlled by these two groups, corporations, and those who control the flows of money. …….

"Despite the fact that gas stocks gained significantly this year," he says, "we think the upside potential remains great."

Taking Profits on Silver SLV ETF / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
This is what I wrote just before the opening bell regarding the iShares Silver Trust ETF (NYSE: SLV): "My work argues that the measured upside move off of the Sep-Oct base pattern has hit its target in the vicinity of 17.35/40, which more often than not is a compelling reason to EXIT the market, at least for a little while, to give ourselves some time to reassess the technicals as well as our committment level to wanting to continue to have a long position in the aftermath of a rapid climb from 15.64 to 17.53 or 12%."

Gold New Record High at $1,058/oz but Remains Less than Half its Real Price of 30 Years Ago / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Gold continues to push higher and took out resistance of $1,050/oz yesterday and moved toward $1,060/oz before retreating slightly. With investors continuing to allocate funds into the gold market, the next target is likely to be an assault on the psychological $1,100/oz level. Increasing concerns of a double dip recession and of the outlook for major currencies is leading to continuing robust investment demand (significant gold ETF demand in recent days).

Divorce the U.S. Dollar and Marry Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
With their money and banking system having presented them with a case of system failure by disintegrating before their eyes and taking the economy with it, America’s economic experts who support and run the FED’s central banking–inconvertible paper dollar system cannot place the blame for this where it belongs, which is on the system itself, its supporters, and those who make its policies. They cannot bring themselves to diagnose the system’s ills and rectify them because they are at the center of them. They cannot stare the failure of inconvertible paper money squarely in the face and move to eliminate it. If they did, they’d be out of jobs and out of power.

Gold Breakout, Buy Gold! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
Two day ago, the price of gold broke out to a new high and we are delighted with this result. As you will recall, we were expecting an upward breakout in gold and it looks as though its price will now surge over the following months. It is noteworthy that since the breakout occurred, gold has managed to stay above the previous high. The longer the price of gold stays above US$1,030, the greater the probability that the yellow metal will stage a spectacular rally until spring next year.

Key Levels to Watch for Gold / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
The most salient feature of the weekly chart of spot gold is a cluster of critical support left behind this week at $1000-$985.00. Now that gold prices have spike to $1050 – likely on the way to $1180-$1220 next – any “intervening” weakness should be bought unless and until the price structure chews below $1000-$985. First pullback buy zone is $1037-$1033, with the second pullback buy zone at $1025-$1020. We’ve been participating in gold via the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) and Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX).
