Gold and Economy Recoverygeddon / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Neil_Charnock
This so called recovery is problematic and now it is slowly entering a new dangerous phase. Bank losses
have now been eclipsed as the major issue as sovereign debt emerges in a more sinister manner. This is
only part of the problem and it will be overcome in the short term leading to resumed market growth. The
real problem is the debt cycle and the emerging sovereign default concerns are showing us the future.

Gold Price Suffers From Lack of U.S. Money Supply Growth / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
The great blizzard that rolled across the eastern United States this past week should have served as an icy funeral pyre for the Global Warming Scam. Charles Ponzi was a rank amateur when compared to the attempt by climate evangelists to extract money from the gullible public. These would be weather Madoffs dream of the money extracted from the public by Keynesian economists, the clear champions of money Ponzi schemes. Money that appears to have been squandered.

A Stern Reality Check for Gold Naysayers / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Needless to say, Thursday was nothing short of an orgasmic day for Gold bears and Dollar bulls. The precious metals complex crumbled along with the Euro, while the greenback was higher. In fact, it was such a bad day that Gold officially lost its safe-haven status, according to CNBC. This was also noted by Elliot Wave and The Business Insider. All proclaimed that Gold was no safe haven.

Gold Technically Damaged But Fundamentals Remain Sound / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Gold closed lower in US trading on Friday at $1,057/oz. It traded sideways in Asian trading prior to jumping from $1,066/oz to $1,073.50/oz in early trade in Europe. Gold is currently trading at $1,070.20/oz and in euro and GBP terms, gold is trading at €783/oz and £688/oz respectively.

Gold Investors Fateful House, $1000 The Buying Opportunity of the Decade? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
“How blind are those who cannot see the forest for the trees?” - John Heywood
Gold’s action was scary last week – for all those who focus only on the short term. But these are precisely the people who cannot see the big picture. And because they cannot see the big picture they cannot predict the big move. And the big money, I remind you, is made in the big move.

Gold to Benefit from Inevitable More Bailouts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Adam_Brochert
Public and private debt will be printed up out of thin air and used to replace the bad private and public debt plaguing the financial world. As the insanity progresses, more and more will turn to Gold. Whether we are headed for an implosion that is deflationary, inflationary, or both, confidence in our current financial system will become mortally wounded. This is why the Dow to Gold ratio will reach 2 and may even go below 1 this cycle. It's a confidence cycle as well as an economic cycle.
