Trading Gold Using Gold Stocks as an Leading indicator / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
I find from time and time that gold stocks tend to lead the price of gold during extreme times and as I mentioned in last weeks report the HUI index has warned us up to 7 days in advance, before gold made sizable drop. Well this week is a perfect example in my opinion.
The charts below show how gold stocks became bearish much quicker than the price of gold indicating we should see lower gold prices soon. This time the HUI index gave us 5 days advance warning that gold will eventually drop quickly to catch up and the chart below show this.

By: Adrian_Ash

I can't vouch for the silver market – small, tight and still dependent on fast-falling industrial demand though it is.

By: Mac_Slavo
The recent price lows of Rhodium ($1200 an ounce) suggest that investors are worried about its future needs in car manufacturing. Rhodium, a noble metal, is primarily used in catalytic converters for combustion engine vehicles.

Gold and the New Era, The Financial Times They Are A'changin' / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
Change is never easy and extreme change is the most difficult of all - Twelve years ago, the esteemed Financial Times in an editorial announced The Death of Gold ; and, in 2004, another contributor to FT noted, the end of gold as an investment has come a little closer .
Recently, however, on January 5, 2009 the Financial Times published David Hale's There Is Only One Alternative To The Dollar . Long-time subscribers to FT may be surprised to find that alternative to be gold—or, then again, they may not be surprised at all.

Gold and Silver Physical Bullion Rationing / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold is marginally lower today despite sharply weaker oil prices (Light Sweet Crude Oil Future - Combined - FEB09 : -5.14%) and a slightly higher dollar (US DOLLAR INDEX: 83.01 +0.6%).
There was significant volatility last week and such volatility often portends a big move up or down. Given the strong fundamentals, gold’s next move is likely to be up, especially as investment demand for gold coins, bars, certificates and exchange traded funds remains very robust.

Open The Mint To Gold! - Could a Private Firm Force the Government to Do It?
People ask: "Isn't the Mint already open to gold, producing Gold Eagles and Buffaloes?" Opening the Mint to gold has a technical meaning, namely, opening it to the free and unlimited coinage of gold on private account. The Gold Eagles and Buffaloes are produced on Treasury account in limited quantities and sold at a premium as souvenir coins. It is a ploy to show that gold coins would just not circulate as money. Well, they would if there was no premium and the market was saturated.
