Seven Ways to Tell If Your Gold is Counterfeit / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Money_Morning

Peter Krauth writes: I had just finished a walking tour of the Royal Canadian Mint when I saw it. Right there, out in the open, was a 400-ounce bar of pure gold.

It was chained to a display table and kept safe by an armed guard. At the time, in 2005, the bar was worth $220,000.

Today, the same bar is worth $667,700. In just seven years, gold prices have jumped by 203%.

Gold and Silver Gain Along with Stocks on Fiscal Cliff Deal / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Ben_Traynor

SPOT MARKET gold prices started the year by touching a two-week high above $1680 per ounce Wednesday morning, as European stock markets also gained following news of a deal in Washington to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff.

Gold in Euros and Sterling by contrast were little changed on the day by late morning in London, recovering losses following a slight dip during Asian trading.

By: PhilStockWorld

Courtesy of Doug Short.Here is my weekly gasoline chart update from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. Gasoline prices at the pump rose last week. Rounded to the penny, the average for Regular and Premium were up four cents.

Gold And Silver Very Under-Rated Opposing Forces Into 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Michael_Noonan

It is impossible not to read some source, informed or otherwise, touting the “fact” that the price of gold and silver will be  [insert whatever amount you wish, here], “in the coming months”, or safer, “in the next year or two,” etc. Yet, the market does not echo those almost universally held sentiments.

Why not?

Because that is exactly what they are, sentiments.  When it comes to sentiments or opinions, regardless of how close to source or how well reasoned, the market does not care.  One of the better “resolutions” one can make going into 2013 and beyond it to follow the market’s lead, stop trying to lead it, waiting for it to catch up to your trading acumen.

Big Move Ahead in Copper ETFs and Stocks / Commodities / Copper

By: Chris_Vermeulen

With 2012 now behind us it’s time to start looking for some new long term investments which have big potential gains in the new year. Copper is one metal that has caught my eye.

The long term monthly chart of the copper ETF JJC shows a potential cup and handle pattern accompanied with bullish volume characteristics. Last year copper traded sideways in a narrowing range. This type of price action tends to bore traders and investors forcing them to look elsewhere for new to trades. The saying is “If the market doesn’t shake you out, it will wait you out”

Silver failed to hold gains from Asian trading, falling back towards $30 an ounce.

Nuclear Failure Sparks New Era of Oil Renaissance, $45 Oil Price / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: EconMatters

In a continuation of our series on the state of the oil industry we look at some of the other ramifications of what we are labeling the Oil Renaissance in the US, and around the world for that matter. This phrase was first proposed regarding the potential Nuclear turnaround here in the US, where companies like NRG Energy, Toshiba and many more players all along the supply chain were positioning themselves for the Nuclear Renaissance of cheap, and abundant Nuclear energy for the next 50 years.

Crude Oil & Gasoline Markets End 2012 with Swollen Inventory Levels / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: EconMatters

EIA Inventory Data

In analyzing the last EIA report of the year it is noteworthy that gasoline stocks really rose the last 5 weeks of the year. The takeaway isn`t so much that gasoline inventories rose 23 million barrels the last 5 weeks of the year, wow that is some build in inventories, but the fact that Oil inventories barely budged at all during the process.

Gold and The Fiscal Cliff / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Clif_Droke

The price of gold has been hit by selling under concerns over the upcoming U.S. "fiscal cliff." At least that's what the news media's explanation for gold's decline has been. Here's what Reuters had to say in a recent news article:

"U.S. stocks sold off late in the day to close at session lows on Wednesday as talks to avert a year-end fiscal crisis turned sour, even as investors still expect a deal....

Government Reckless Spending and Soaring Debts Should Boost Gold and Silver 2013 / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2013

By: Jeb_Handwerger

We are still climbing the wall of worry as wealth in the ground metals becomes increasingly cheaper in a world that is threatened with the ghosts of depressions and deflations past. We observe the doubters who regale us with the view that the miners are underperforming bullion and the general equities. They claim that housing, financials and the dollar has bottomed. We disagree and believe gold (GLD), silver (SLV) and the undervalued gold (GDXJ), silver (SIL), uranium (URA) and rare earth miners (REMX) may be bottoming and a reversal may occur in 2013.

High IQ Gold Stocks Investing / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks

By: The_Gold_Report

The past year was a very tough one for the junior gold mining sector. In this interview with The Gold Report, Brien Lundin, CEO of Jefferson Financial, says that the past year has, in fact, put many gold mining companies on the bargain basement shelf. He shares some advice on end-of-year portfolio repositions and talks about some of his favorite stocks that he believes are poised for a rebound in 2013.

The Gold Report: Brien, in late October you and your company Jefferson Financial hosted the New Orleans Investment Conference. What were some of the commodity-related themes consistently making the rounds there?

American Glory Days, Made in America Again Needs Resource Extraction and Agriculture / Commodities / Resources Investing

By: Richard_Mills

Gus Gunn, of the British Geological Survey, has identified three main factors behind the steep rise in commodity demand and prices:

• Urbanization that is accompanied by a rise in the standard of living. By 2025, nearly 2.5 billion Asians will live in cities, accounting for almost 54 percent of the world's urban population. India and China alone will account for more than 62 percent of Asian urban population growth and 40 percent of global urban population growth from 2005 to 2025

2013 Invest in Year Apples not APPL / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Apples are, according to many nutritionists, good for us. However, one has to be sure to choose the right ones as AAPL has demonstrated in recent months. AAPL, despite the Street's claim in would be working its way toward $1,000 by now, has fallen hard from the tree. Now badly bruised, investors are suffering from a collapse of more than 25% from the high. Investors would have been far better off, as the following chart portrays, down on the farm, perhaps in real apples.

Silver Junior Mining Stocks / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Zeal_LLC

Silver mine production is expected to come in at nearly 800m ounces in 2012, an all-time record and the seventh consecutive year of growth (per the U.S. Geological Survey).  At 2012’s average silver price, this total represents a value of nearly $25b.  There’s a lot of money to be made mining this shiny-white metal!

With a massive capital carrot supported by structural fundamentals that are still great, there ought to be a ton of mining companies targeting silver in their exploration endeavors.  So in my latest silver-stock research project I took a close look at the companies on the ground floor of silver exploration, the juniors.

A Gold and Silver Paper Default in the Wake of an EU Collapse / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

The EU has failed to recapitalize its banking sector, which still remains massively over-leveraged. They have not yet had their "Lehman moment" of truth.
 
Furthermore, governments of the Eurozone adopted the Euro as a common currency in part because by doing so, they could collectively borrow at much lower interest rates than they were used to when they printed their own money.

Future Silver Prices and Inflation- Bernanke Says Don’t Worry / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis

The aftermath of dramatic balance sheet expansion is bound to be a rebound in inflationary pressures, but Fed Chair Ben Bernanke said the central bank is not going to react to a short term increase in current inflation.

Basically, if the FOMC is convinced that a rise in inflation today is going to be reversed in the future, they are not going to do anything to offset it with a rise in benchmark interest rates.

Gold Market Overhang Poses Risk of Another Price Fall Into Year End / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2012

By: Ben_Traynor

THE SPOT MARKET gold price fell back to $1660 an ounce Friday morning, close to where it started the week, as stock markets also edged lower, ahead of talks in Washington aimed at avoiding the $600 billion "fiscal cliff" of spending cuts and tax rises due within days.

Gold will break its four-week losing streak today if the spot price ends the week above $1657 an ounce, while spot silver needs to close above $30.03 an ounce to do likewise.
