Gold Safehaven Buying as Governments Throw Money at Failing Economies / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Adrian_Ash
THE SPOT PRICE OF PHYSICAL GOLD slid almost 2% early in London on Tuesday, recording an AM Fix of $802.50 per ounce before bouncing sharply and moving back above £540 and €635 for British and Eurozone investors respectively.
Crude oil dropped 4% to $52.30 per barrel, while 10-year US Treasury bond yields reversed yesterday's rally to stand back at 3.23%.

A Good Day for Gold and Stock Markets / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold has given up some of yesterday’s and the last four days gains. Profit taking seems the most likely explanation as the dollar remain largely flat but the weakness in oil may be contributing to gold’s weakness. Continuing unprecedented volatility in markets is leading to further safe haven demand.Read full article... Read full article...

Potential Double-Bottom for Natural Gas / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Let's notice that the action during November in the US Natural Gas Fund ETF (AMEX: UNG) has created a potential double bottom formation. That said, however, purely from a technical perspective, the price structure must hurdle and sustain above 28.70 to trigger the upside potential of the pattern, which would project to the 31.00 target zone. A climb above 28.70 also will position the price structure to break the back of the November downtrend, now at 29.25.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Smashes Through Resistance / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mark_OByrne
In a remarkable week for the yellow metal, strong resistance at $770 last Monday may now be the level of support as Gold rallied on Friday, finishing up $50 on the day, 6% on the week. It is currently trading at $822 (1230 GMT) and a sustained move above $800 could signal an upswing towards the $850 level, again confirming Gold's safe haven demand as stock markets continued to fall sharply amid continuing woes in the US financial sector (as graphically illustrated by Citigroup). Silver could also be about to make a move to the upside. It has been in a downward trendline since the summer but traded up to it that line on Friday and above the trendline today. Silver is currently trading at $10.02 and a close above $9.50 today could be very positive for the price.

Extreme Silver Price Trends / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Roland_Watson
I don't think silver watchers need to be reminded of what has happened to silver in the last 8 months. The only answer they are looking for is when will we see a bottom to this carnage? As I look at my 14 member silver stock index, it has dropped from a high of 8.69 on the 3rd March 2008 to a new low of 1.31 as of last Thursday. That is a drop of 85% - cataclysmic by any standard of investing. Subscribers who followed my lead and exited all silver stocks positions on 31st March were spared this unnecessary suffering.Read full article... Read full article...

Gold and Silver Bullish Fundamentals- Keep Your Eye on the Prize / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Peter_Degraaf
In this fast-moving age, it is so easy to take your eye of the prize. Short-term trends can easily throw one ‘off track'. For every analyst who will tell you a stock or commodity is going up, there is another one who will tell you it is going down in price.

Gold the Dumb Metal Beats Overqualified Ex-hedge fund Financial Hacks / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Adrian_Ash
"Well, God knows you don't need any brains to buck barley bags..."– John Steinbeck, Of Mice & Men (1937)
ALPHA used to be what hedge-fund managers promised their clients. Better still, portable alpha – defined in the easy bed-time reading of finance MBAs as the "generation of excess return over a benchmark while maintaining the desired asset allocation to traditional market exposures" – offered to meet and beat whatever returns everyone else was making, thus proving the manager's genius and justifying his infamous fees.

Silver in Crisis / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Zeal_LLC
The unprecedented financial turmoil plaguing all markets these days is dominating everyone's attention. In a troubled time when the flagship S&P 500 stock index can plunge 30.0% in a single month, it is hard to think about anything else. Thus many smaller markets, like silver, are languishing in relative obscurity.
Silver, an asset which many investors thought would thrive during a financial-market panic, has been scourged mercilessly. After briefly surging above $20 in March, it nonchalantly traded between $16 and $19 or so for the next 5 months. Silver was on top of the world, consolidating high, and all looked well.

Why Gold Price Has Fallen Despite Record Demand / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Money_Morning
Mike Caggeso writes: Having spawned the worst market for stocks since the Great Depression, the global financial crisis is forcing investors to re-examine a number of long-held beliefs. Gold bugs, for instance, have been left to wonder just how gold prices could backpedal in the face of all-time-record demand.
Gold demand did increase – in fact, by a record 45% from the second quarter to the third.
