How to Profit from the Looming Pop in Corn Prices / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Money_Morning
Jack Barnes writes:
We've already seen the effects of the global currency wars - the so-called "race to the bottom" that's helped send gold to all-time-record highs.
And we'll soon see the fallout from the worldwide skirmish over rare-earth supplies, which is certain to impact the high-tech sector.

How to Get Hedge Funds to Push Silver Price to $500 and Crash JP Morgan / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: GoldSilver
This is the true divide that separates the have from the have yachts and this is truly what is going to catapult us in the global conflict, the insurrection against corporate and banking occupation. It's savers versus speculators. The savers have only one recourse, and it's true on the central bank level, and it's true on the individual level. It's precious metals. That's the only recourse we have! - Max Keiser

Gold and Silver Thanksgiving Thoughts / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Anthony_J_Stills
I want to leave you with some thoughts on gold and silver as we head into the long Thanksgiving holiday. The airwaves are filled with opinions, conjecture, commentaries masquerading as fact and just plain old misinformation designed to scare you out of your positions. There’s a lot at stake right now as the central banks around the world feel threatened by the rise in price of both gold and silver. They understand the well guarded secret that gold is the only real money out there and fiat paper is just a poor pretender to the throne. The unbridled printing of fiat paper is the tool used by central banks to separate you from your wealth.

Gold Dominates the Headlines But the Smart Money is Flocking to Uranium / Commodities / Uranium
By: The_Energy_Report
Gold has dominated a lot of headlines lately, so when Bruno del Ama of Global X Funds launched an exchange traded fund (ETF) focusing on the precious metal and another on uranium, he was confident about which one would set off at a sprint. Yet surprisingly, sales of the Global X Uranium ETF have reached $65 million since its launch on Nov. 4, making it one of the most successful ETFs this year. In this exclusive interview with The Energy Report, Bruno discusses why the smart money is chasing uranium.

Silver Forecast, What Comes Next? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: David_Banister

I believe Silver is about to stage a pretty large advance based loosely on the Elliott Wave pattern I see unfolding after a 9 odd month consolidation. (Obviously, there are also fundamental fiat currency/debt events worldwide that give it the underlying bull chart pattern). Since the average person can't run out and buy an ounce of Gold for $1,240 tomorrow, as the unfolding of the fiat crises continues to enter the public psyche, you will see a strong populace movement into buying silver, silver coins, etc. To wit, many silver stocks are moving up strongly of late, signally an imminent breakout of this precious and industrial metal.

Should You Buy Silver SLV ETF? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Peter_Degraaf
Featured is the daily bar chart for SLV. Price has risen for five days, but volume has not yet supported the rise. This lack of volume could be because more and more people are becoming aware of the fact that JPMorgan (one of the bullion banks that is short a large amount of silver), is a custodian of SLV. As people begin to distrust the integrity (justified or not) of SLV, they could very well make a decision to avoid buying into SLV.

By: Adrian_Ash
THE PRICE OF PHYSICAL gold bullion rose to a 1-week high in Asian and early London trade on Tuesday, touching $1370 per ounce even as the US Dollar rose on news of South and North Korea exchanging shell-fire over the disputed border island of Yeonpyeong.
Asian stock markets dropped up to 2%. Crude oil fell hard towards $80 per barrel. Silver prices unwound Monday's 2.3% rally.

Gold/Platinum Ratio, The Economy And Why You’ll Ask Back Your Gold Card / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Hubert_Moolman
Most people are mainly concerned with what is going on right now and are less concerned with what happened yesterday, last week or last year. The further in the past an event or development, the less are we concerned about (or aware of) it, and the less is our understanding of it. This appears to be our nature, and it causes many to miss important “big picture” developments.

Gold, Weaker Dollar, and US Exports / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Rosanne_Lim
With the Chinese yuan and Brazilian reals off-limits to most retail investors, turning to gold may be the best bet. Even with the gold hitting the $1,400 an ounce mark, it’s still a good idea to allocate around 20% of your portfolio to this precious metal. Consider that over the last decade, gold is up by 17%. Compare this to stocks over the same period and you’ll see the difference. Stocks were up by only 1%.

Commodity Price Inflation, What is Likely Impact in the United States? / Commodities / Inflation
By: Asha_Bangalore
The S&P GSCI commodity index has moved up 11.3% from a year ago on November 19, 2010 (see Chart 1). The trade weighted dollar declined 1.2% from a year ago as of November 12, 2010. The immediate inference is that the extent of gains in the commodity price index is larger than the decline of the dollar. By implication, commodity price gains reflect more than the depreciation of the greenback.

Agri-Food Stocks Investment Opportunities Ahead / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Fortunately for investors the majority of the world does not allow either bumbling Bernanke or wealth confiscating Obama Regime to manage economic policy for them. What that means is that once one departs the shores of the U.S., leaving its wealth destroying policies and laws behind, economic growth is possible. That reality allows investors to find economic sectors that are benefiting from economic growth.

THE PRICE OF GOLD closely tracked the Euro currency on Monday morning, initially rising after Ireland agreed a €90 billion rescue package from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund, but slipping back after Dublin coalition members the Green Party then called for a general election in January.

Natural Gas Has Better Days Ahead (in Two Years) / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Dian_L_Chu
Natural gas posted the first weekly increase this month in the week of Nov. 14, on forecasts of colder than normal temperatures in most of the eastern U.S. from Nov. 24 through Nov. 28, which could spur an average 20 percentage rise above the normal heating demand.

Gold Standard Time / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Howard_Katz
The expression, “gold bug,” has two meanings. In politics, a gold bug is someone who favors the gold standard. The phrase was first used in the election of 1896 to indicate the supporters of William McKinley, who favored the gold standard, as opposed to the supporters of William Jennings Bryan, who favored adding silver to the system to increase the money supply. On July 9, 1896, Bryan gave a famous speech at the Democratic convention in Chicago in which he said: “You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.”

The Gold and Silver Trading Play Has Gone To Greed? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
The past few months it seems the gold and silver play has been getting a little crowed with everyone wanting to own gold. While I am a firm believer that these precious metals are a great hedge/investment long term, I can’t help but notice the price action and volume for both metals which looks to me like they are getting exhausted.

Gold Top Head and Shoulder (H&S) Pattern? / Commodities / Gold and Silver 2010
By: Merv_Burak
It looks very much like we have reached a top in gold, but for how long? The past week has traced out the initial potential of a head and shoulder reversal pattern (more on this below) which, if completed, would project to at least the $1230 level. BUT the pattern IS NOT yet completed so there is still hope of more upside. What are the odds?

Global Food Prices Set to Spike Higher Again / Commodities / Food Crisis
By: Pravda
The latest report issued by the UNO indicates that food prices are yet again set to reach record levels due to the fact that it is more economical for farmers to produce commodities which have better paybacks than to produce financially less attractive foodstuffs which feed people. Once again, the focus on the bottom line is sending millions into food insecurity in a world where there are one billion people undernourished.
