Obama Plus Bernanke Equals A Higher Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Richard_Mills
Investors are starting to realize that gold is a storehouse of value and a safe haven in times of turmoil. Gold’s price has risen because of the abuse and mismanagement of our monetary and currency systems - throughout history, gold has always shone the brightest when trust breaks down, confidence falls and fear climbs.

Gold and Silver Maintain Upward Momentum and Challenge Resistance / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldCore
Last week's early September relief rally continued this morning as equities have risen again in Asia and Europe. Gold is one of the strongest currencies in the world this morning, along with the yen. While the dollar is flat, sterling has fallen sharply against all currencies on UK economy concerns and gold in sterling terms has risen from £806/oz to £811.20/oz (see Cross Currency Table).

The One Thing That Could Tank Gold Prices / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: D_Sherman_Okst
As I dug deeper into the inner workings of the economy I became convinced that most of it was – like the housing industry – a house of cards.
Diversification for me boiled down to just a few things that I can have faith in. I'm not alone in this camp, I've heard Eric Sprott speak about this as well.

Gold Continues to Climb Higher, Where Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
Gold continues to climb. It’s not exuberant and it’s not exciting but it keeps on climbing. It’s at a point where one would expect a serious reaction or a new explosion on the up side. Which will it be?

Gold Continuing Rally or Inevitable Correction? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Przemyslaw_Radomski
"The European Union is dying – not a dramatic or sudden death, but one so slow and steady that we may look across the Atlantic one day soon and realize that the project of European integration that we've taken for granted over the past half-century is no more."
With these dramatic words begins a eulogy of the European Union in a Washington Post article.

The QE Money Printing Case for Gold and Silver / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Ashraf_Laidi
The case for metals remains not that of outright inflation but that of central banks prolonged liquidity drives. Currencies will gain/fall versus one another, but fresh asset purchases will maintain gold and silver ahead.

Agri-Food Price Index Makes New High! / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
One road to wealth is to only own those assets for which the price is rising. That seems to be a rule that equity investors have forgotten. In any event, a great market technician once suggested only looking at those things with prices making new 52-week highs. His reasoning was that for the price of something to rise it must eventually make a new high. Well, based on the above chart, that technician would be all over Agri-Food commodities and associated investments. Our Agri-Food Price Index recently made a new high!

Gold Mining Stock Margins / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Zeal_LLC
Gold mining is a tough business. In the quest to meet growing global demand these miners are constantly barraged with challenge after challenge. They are attacked by environmentalists, targets of governmental meddling, purveyors of a science that is not exact, and must always fight to renew their finite resources.
Gold miners are also at the mercy of fluctuating gold prices. Prices can be radically different from when a mine initially commences development to when it pours its first gold years later. Even on a month-to-month or week-to-week basis, miners can see material differences in their revenues based on what prices are doing. But thankfully, this blitz of opposing forces proves worthwhile in a secular bull market.

Peak Denial About Peak Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: James_Quinn
It is par for the course that with oil hovering between $70 and $80 per barrel Americans have continued to buy SUVs and Trucks at a rapid pace. Politicians don't have constituents screaming at them because gas is $4.00 per gallon, so it is no longer an issue for them. They need to focus on the November elections. It is no time to discuss a difficult issue that requires foresight and honesty. It is no time to tell the American public that oil will be over $200 a barrel within the next 5 years. Anyone who would go on CNBC today and declare that oil will be over $200 a barrel would be eviscerated by bubble head Bartiromo or clueless Kudlow. Bartiromo filled up her Escalade this morning for $2.60 a gallon, so there is no looming crisis on the horizon. The myopic view of the world by politicians, the mainstream media and the American public in general is breathtaking to behold. Despite the facts slapping them across the face, Americans believe cheap oil is here to stay. It is their right to have an endless supply of cheap oil. The American way of life has been granted by God. We are the chosen people.
