Why the Gold Price is So High? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: MISES

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleEver since Ben Bernanke began flooding the banking system with trillions of new dollars in the fall of 2008, economists and other pundits have disagreed on whether the US is in store for a grinding deflation or an accelerating inflation. Part of the disagreement stems from some people using the terms to refer to prices, whereas others refer to changes in the total quantity of money and credit.

What a Major Banking Crisis Would Do To the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleLoss of Faith and the Decay of Trust in Measured Terms

With the downgrade of Societe General and Credit Agricole, two of the largest French banks, because of their Greek debt holdings, it is certain that any default by Greece (which still looks more than likely) will trigger major banking crises. Moody's lowered Credit Agricole to Aa2 from Aa1 because of its Greek holdings, and will continue to review the impact of funding markets on the rating. Societe Generale was reduced to Aa3 from Aa2, with a negative outlook, as Moody's re-evaluated its level of state support. BNP Paribas (BNP) SA, the largest French bank, had its Aa2 long-term rating kept on review for a possible cut. French lenders top the list of Greek creditors with $56.7 billion in exposure to private and public debt. BNP Paribas has declined 41% in Paris trading this year, Credit Agricole has fallen 46% and Societe Generale has dropped 55% on escalating concern that the European sovereign debt crisis is turning into a banking crisis.

Ongoing Silver Bear Market Means Investors Should Diversify Into Rhodium / Commodities / Rhodium

By: Ned_W_Schmidt

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleRHODIUM TRADING THOUGHTS is about timely and profitable trading of precious metals. We do not believe every turn in the market can be called. Our goal is that our recommendations should be profitable. Profits are the goals, not trades. Do not expect all recommendations to be profitable. No system can achieve that lofty goal. Our goal is simply to state whether conditions for a metal are favorable or not. Buy signals are issued when appropriate. These signals are generally speaking for day they are issued. If price remains below signal price, buying can be done. Do Not Buy signals are given when market is over bought, and buying is unwise. Blue triangles indicate an over bought condition. These would not be good times to buy, so they are labeled Do Not Buy. Software is not showing complete legend, for some reason.

Silver is Once Again Beginning a Runup / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: George_Maniere

Silver prices are once again enjoying a run-up as they did from January through April. During that period they doubled and briefly touched $50 an ounce before settling back down to the low $30s.

As I write, silver prices are back above $40 an ounce and that may be giving you the urge to sell.  I would advise that you don’t. This recovery is for real, and it has much further to go.

Gold Caution is Warranted / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Toby_Connor

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleI realize most people that come to this blog are bullish on gold. I myself am definitely bullish long-term. That being said, warning signs are starting to build.

Since gold is down this morning there's a good chance that the mining stocks are going to break the intermediate trend line today. The complete failure to follow through on the move above 600 is also concerning. Usually after an asset has tested an area three times the breakout occurs with strong follow-through.

Falling Crude Oil Prices: Worrying Trend or Saving Grace? / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Marin_Katusa

Marin Katusa, Casey Energy Team writes: When oil prices start to decline, investors and economists get worried. Oil prices in large part reflect global sentiment towards our economic future – prosperous, growing economies need more oil while slumping, shrinking economies need less, and so the price of crude indicates whether the majority believes we are headed for good times or bad. That explains the worry – those worried investors and economists are using oil prices as an indicator, and falling prices indicate bad times ahead.

The Gold and Silver Bull Market Prices Heading Higher Despite "bumps on the road" / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Bob_Chapman

In the case for gold and silver, it has been go long and stay long for 11 years. During that period great gains have been made during what was the formidable first phase of the gold and silver bull market. Gold was $260.00 and silver was $3.50. Some stocks rose from $4.00 to $86.00, some from $0.80 to $42.00. This performance in spite of gold and silver suppression by the US government. In their desire to keep gold and silver subdued all the government really accomplished was to offer an opportunity for buyers to buy at lower prices than they normally would have been able too. In that process buyers have been able to stay ahead of inflation and many have made large profits.

The Gut-Level "Delusion" of Gold / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Adrian_Ash

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWhat could be more rational amid this financial crisis than choosing to buy gold...?

THANKS TO late-2011's truly miserable outlook, there are now more bullish gold-price forecasts to choose from than Heinz varieties. UBS sees a 2012 average of $2075 per ounce. Nearer $4000 an ounce would be "fair value" today reckons Paul Tustain here at BullionVault. Dylan Grice at Société Générale says $10,000 isn't impossible.

Dissecting Gold Is a Bubble / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Michael_J_Kosares

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleJonathan Kosares writes: Members of Wells Fargo's wealth management team released an article recently entitled, "The Gold Bubble," where it is claimed, in no uncertain terms, that gold is in a bubble. While I would not normally spend time rebutting an entity that would shock me far more if they actually put out a recommendation to buy gold, the subsequent readership this article has received (it was referenced in the business section of the Denver Post, for example) suggests it might be an entertaining, and perhaps useful exercise, to dissect their claims point by point to see what, if any, validity they carry.

America the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas Shifts to Export Role / Commodities / Natural Gas

By: The_Energy_Report

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleWith America "the Saudi Arabia of natural gas," as Stansberry & Associates Investment Research Founder Porter Stansberry puts it, U.S. energy independence is no longer a pipe dream. It's evolved from political posturing to promise based on practical factors that he shares in this Energy Report exclusive. Porter's "incredibly bullish" outlook stems in part from technological efficiencies that will help bring enormous amounts of new U.S. production online. Exploiting these technologies, he states, presents the "greatest opportunity the energy complex has over the next several decades."

Gold heading to $2,350 after EWT Wave 4 Consolidation / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: David_Banister

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn my most recent few forecasts for subscribers and public articles I’ve discussed a major correction in Gold, and it dropped $208 within 3 days of that forecast several weeks ago as Gold traders will recall.  Last week I wrote about further consolidation being required in what I’m seeing as a either 4th wave likely “Triangle Pattern” that will consolidate the 34 month run from $681 to $1910 into August of this year, or a 3 wave “A B C” pattern.  We are right now in some form of C wave, it’s just a matter now of confirming if we are going to get a “D and E” wave to follow, or the C wave drops lower before we bottom.

Gold is Confidence in Money Systems / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2011

By: Julian_DW_Phillips

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn 2000 gold stood at just below $300, and when the euro arrived it stood at just over €250. Confidence was nearly absolute in the U.S. dollar at the time and the currency the world's energy was priced in. The euro was about to be launched to replace currencies like the Deutschemark, the French Franc and the rest of Europe's currencies. Today and eleven years later, gold is standing six times higher than the level at the turn of the century, despite all attempts to keep it contained. Why?
