Crude Oil Remains a Mush Have Investment Profit Play / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes: Commodities may be down, but they're not out – and they shouldn't be out of your portfolio, either.
As the investment director for Money Morning , I'm invited to a large number of speaking engagements each year. It's something I enjoy, and it's quite useful, too, for the questions that I get tell me a great deal about investor sentiment and the general tenor of the financial markets. The same is true for the questions I receive daily from our readers.

CIBC Global Markets Slams Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: David_Morgan
This week I'm going to comment on Jon Nadler 's remarks in his February 9 article titled The Silver Medalist. Jon pointed out some interesting quotes about the silver market and some of these I have issue with and some I don't. Mostly what he did is quote CIBC Global Markets and their assessment of the silver market. And one thing that he quotes from CIBC is that in 2008 silver had risen to about $20 an ounce and lately it's been languishing at around the $10 level; those are facts, no dispute there. And then they (CIBC) goes on to state at the first sign of a decline in gold, investors are likely to sell their silver holding but retain more of their gold holdings since gold has a superior reputation as an insurance policy, compared to silver. I really don't have an issue with that, yet . Read full article... Read full article...

Gold: The New Money / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: HRA_Advisory
The gold market is spreading both joy and fear lately. Those who have followed it for some time are more than pleased to see it working its way convincingly above the September Dollar price highs and out of a down trending channel that it has been bouncing around in since making all time highs last March. Both of those marks were cleared easily today and trading is stable in overseas markets, itself a good sign as gold is notorious for giving back gains from large price spikes. Read full article...

By: Rob_Kirby

Historically, West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil trades at a premium price to Brent Crude Oil for quality as well as logistical reasons.

Comex Gold Net Longs and the Gold/ Crude Oil Ratio Divergence / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Ashraf_Laidi
The latest run-up in gold's secular bull market has reaches 7-month highs of $947/oz, triggered by an initial decline in the US dollar following a disappointing Tuesday market reception of the US Financial Stability Plan. Remarkably, however, gold shifted to the next gear despite a rebound in the US currency or the decline in oil prices, underscoring the metals improving allure as a yield replacement during interest rate-eroding policies in the industrialized world.

Junior Producer Picks as Gold Bull Market Rumbles On / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Richard_Mills
2008 was one of the worst years for suffering the market has ever thrown investors. Will 2009 be any better? Well I'm not optimistic but I don't rule out the occasional mini rally that sucks investors into believing everything is back on track. I do not think the market crash that started last year is over. Unemployment numbers are horrible, earnings for almost all sectors are in the red and looking to get worse. Obama's stimulus plan stinks to high heaven of rotten pork with very little of the total package actually going to where he promised during his election campaign. Read full article...

Gold Bull Market Projects to $2,300 by end of 2010 / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
The cup and handle pattern is one of the most prevalent and reliable technical patterns. It occurs often and in short, medium and super long-term time frames. Technical analysis is not an exact science. In fact it is more an art than science. The formation of a technical pattern doesn't imply infallibly, that the pattern will complete itself according to textbook manner. However, I find that the cup and handle pattern completes itself far more often than any other technical pattern. Its record is very good. Read full article... Read full article...

Gold Bullion and Crude Oil Trading Analysis / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Gold and gold equities have performed well over the past two months climbing in value as the broad market drifts sideways waiting for buyers or sellers to step up to the plate. I am hearing traders in a panic saying they think gold is going to start moving $100 per day and are jumping on the band wagon, and that gold's going to $3500 per ounce soon. While that is possible I just don't see it happening right now and that we need to jump on the band wagon and chase this high price. I provided three charts of gold and gold equities to show you how I see things right now. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Mike_Paulenoff
Spot Gold prices and the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE: GLD) are on the move again-- to the upside-- doing damage to key resistance levels. The enclosed daily chart pattern of spot gold is getting very interesting if you are a gold bull.

Gold Long-term Hedge Against Wealth Destruction / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adrian_Ash
"...Gold is demonstrably not the ultimate inflation hedge. Nor is it anything much compared to stocks, bonds or real estate..."
"THE TWILIGHT of gold appeared to have arrived," wrote Niall Ferguson – now a Harvard professor, then an Oxford scholar – of the metal's 20-year bear market at the end of the last century.

Fear Pushing Gold to New High this Year / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Broderick writes: I would like to state for the record that what's happening to the U.S. economy is freaking me out. And I think that if you're not scared, you're not paying attention.
That said, there are positive steps you can take to protect yourself and your portfolio — and I'll get to three of those steps in a minute. But just because I'm worried doesn't mean things can't end well. With some luck, maybe President Obama's economic team can stabilize things.

Gold and Silver Market Manipulation Conspiracy / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Robert_Bradshaw
Goldsmiths Part XXX - To set the stage for what is to follow below, by this writer on the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, goldseek.com of Oct 1, 2008 had an article by Bix Weir on “My Gold and Silver Conspiracy Story” which really whets the appetite of a thinking person. Weir wrote that after WWII a vast gold hoard of Japanese gold (most of which was stolen from other Asian countries) was found hidden in over 175 different sites in the Philippine Islands by a member of General Charles Willoughby's staff. Willoughby was General MacA rthur's Chief of Intelligence. Read full article... Read full article...
