Why Gold Is Dropping When It Should Be Rising / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Alex_Wallenwein
Why is gold dropping right now when anyone in their sane mind would expect it to rise? The simple answer to this question is, “because Comex-gold isn't gold” – and because it deceptively pretends to be 'the' price-setter for real gold.
Gold is gold, paper is paper, and “Comex gold” is nothing but paper masquerading as gold while simultaneously pretending to be the price-setting medium for actual gold in the world. Now, finally, Comex-gold is in the process of being unmasked.

A Credit Crisis? No its a Confidence Crisis! Gold? / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Events on the banking, credit and foreign exchange fronts are behaving in a startling and frightening way. Not only are equity markets crashing but currencies are worrisome especially now with what appears to be a strong $, but falling against the Yen. We saw a dropping € against the $, with the news from the Eurozone confirming it is infected with the same financial virus as the States. With both currencies weakening, their relationship to each other is losing relevance as they fall against gold. This is now confirmed as gold broke through the $900 barrier this week. Yes, as the currencies are falling against gold, it's not simply a credit crisis out there. Let's call a spade a spade; it's a confidence crisis! Read full article... Read full article...

By: Mark_OByrne
Gold rallied yesterday on increasing risk aversion as stock markets continued to crash internationally (gold closed at $880.70 up $18 and silver closed at $11.34 up 7 cents). Gold has surged to new record highs in most major currencies including the Australian dollar, British pound (£517) and Euro (€662) as the global contagion deepens. Therefore, gold is again acting independently of the dollar and despite recent dollar strength has rallied sharply in all major currencies.

Gold Crisis and Inflation Hedge Expected to Outperform Crude Oil / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Dr_Krassimir_Petrov
1. Introduction Over the last 7-8 years, gold has consistently underperformed oil. Gold bulls are worried – after all, why invest in gold, when oil delivers a better performance, and so are apparently copper, uranium, and a number of agricultural commodities. The answer is simple – during the early stage of this commodity bull market (2000-2006), the fundamentals of oil were much better than gold. However, the relative fundamentals will reverse in later stages, when gold will dramatically outperform oil. This is simply the nature of the current commodity bull market.
