Investing In Gold Can Make You Rich! / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: David_Vaughn
Gold is unstoppable. Hope you haven't sold your quality gold shares.
Well, gold is settling comfortably above 700 an ounce – what now? If you're stupid you'll be selling all your gold shares because you fear gold dropping back to 640. If you have any common sense you will notice this upward move is more than a short term rally.

Silver in Bullish Technical Formation, Targeting Powerful Upmove $17.30 / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Mike_Paulenoff
If in fact the Fed must cut rates at least one or two more times, and must press Fed funds to 4.25-4.00% during this rate cut cycle -- avert recession and stimulate economic growth -- then just maybe the "inflation genie" will be allowed out of the bottle for a while. We will know that if and when Silver (not gold) starts to accelerate to the upside. When rising inflation psychology takes root, it will be the less obvious "precious" metal that flashes its buy signal.Read full article... Read full article...

Steepening US Treasury Yield Curve to Ignite Gold - Stagflation Around the Corner / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Jim_Willie_CB
The face of all the world has changed, since first I heard the footsteps of your official rate cut. Sorry, borrowed a front line from a Robert Browning love poem, who wrote about ‘footsteps of your soul' to Elizabeth Barrett. On September 18th, notes were taken on a host of prices immediately before the US Federal Reserve executed its cut of 50 basis points in both the Fed Funds target and the discount rate. The reaction in the entire price structures for the financial markets generally has been profound in only one week. Stocks are up. Foreign currencies are up. Oil and natural gas are flat but now down a little. Gold and silver up, along with their precious metals mining stocks. However, the anomaly sticks out like a sore bruised discolored thumb.

GOLD THOUGHTS - Gold To Correct Lower and US Dollar to Bounce from Oversold State / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Bailout Ben Bernanke, Chairman of U.S. Federal Reserve, last week demonstrated the intellectual bankruptcy at that institution. No broad based economic need for a 50 basis point interest rate cut was evident. Only purpose of rate cut was to aid investment banks and mortgage brokers. Further, that interest rate cut is now politically impossible to reverse without a crisis in the value of U.S. dollar.Read full article... Read full article...

By: Merv_Burak
Staying with the trend can be profitable but is it time for the trend to end?
GOLD
Everybody's getting all excited because we are hitting new 27 year highs so I thought I'd show you what all the excitement is about. For technicians things are really getting hot. We have all sorts of projections based upon short, intermediate and long term charts, many of these projections you have read in these commentaries. What about the very long term, you might ask. You have heard about the $1600 projection but where does it come from? Well, here we have the very long term P&F chart that gets us there and possibly beyond.
