Gold Investing Expert: Bob Moriarty Goes on Record / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Q1_Publishing
We live in a world that is totally insane. We have one US government agency buying worthless paper from another US government agency and the public nods their heads in agreement just as if it makes perfect sense.

Gold’s Evolving Supply and Demand / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Miles_Banner
Since 2001 gold has been on a bull run. The gold price has had to factor in the results of the credit crunch for the past 2 years. That means for the previous 6 years gold has been rising independent of the worries of investors looking for safe havens. In that time demand has risen from investors, jewellers and industry.

By: INO
The gold market continues to steam roll ahead as it gets closer to our $1,300 target zone.
As we have stated before, gold is in a fully fledged bull market and sharp pullbacks are to be expected. This is not to say the bull market is over; it is more to say that pullbacks should be looked upon as opportunities to add to or initiate new positions.

Gold as a “Go To” Asset Class / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: HRA_Advisory
We believe there is room for more gold price gain, near term. A “true” gold market in which the yellow metal is being treated as an asset class in its own right is building around the uncertainties in other markets. That is different from recent warehousing cycles when gold moved most strongly during the final up stage of a resource/economic cycle. This time around gold is being treated as a market and currency hedge, not as a goody bag being handed out at the end of a party. The most interesting note on that score of late is news from India that October saw a large uptick for buying gold in forms such as bars that are used to invest.
