Gold implications of Central Banks Monetizing the Financial Markets / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Christopher_Laird
Around 2005, I wrote an article that predicted that when the US housing bubble broke, there would be a stock/financial crash – and this:

Commodity Trading Report for Gold, Silver, Crude Oil and Natural Gas / Commodities / Commodities Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Precious Metals – Gold GLD fund – Silver SLV Fund – PM Stocks GDX Fund
We could start to see a shift between the price relationship between gold and the broad market. I pointed this out last week mentioning that gold and silver are starting to hold up in value while stocks sell off on big days. For example, Wednesday’s sell-off in equities did not have much effect on precious metals. This is what we want to see. It means money is moving out of stocks and into gold and silver bullion as a safe haven.

By: Charles_Maley
An era can be said to end when its basic illusions are exhausted – Arthur Miller (American Playwright)
There has been a fair amount of talk about the glut of Natural Gas on the market today and how full capacity storage could threaten us by the end of the year. This is a very interesting situation. We are running close to full capacity, yet natural gas prices refuse to go down. In fact, we have had quite a rally off the September lows, moving from slightly below $3.50 to $5.23, up just shy of 50% (November contract).

What's Behind the Big Jump in the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Since the bull gold market began in 2001, Gold Drivers Report publisher and Bullion Store proprietor Eric Hommelberg argues that gold has significantly outperformed the Dow in terms of valuations, and as he sees it, the bull run will last at least until the middle of the next decade. The rhythm of this market over the past eight years tells him that $1,000 gold is history, and we can expect the current climb to push the price past the $1,250 mark next spring. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, Eric tells readers why. He also explains that while he prefers the precious metals in physical form, he recommends holding a select set of junior explorers, too—ones with trustworthy, savvy managements and promising drill results.

U.S. Paper Dollars And Asian Gold Reserves, Chasing the Dragon / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Darryl_R_Schoon
WHO WOKE THE DRAGON -
China is a sleeping dragon. Let it sleep. If it wakes, it will shake the world.
Napoleon Bonaparte
It has been said God doesn’t speak to mankind because mankind doesn’t listen. Be that as it may, it is certainly true that England didn’t listen to Napoleon’s warning regarding China. Contrary to Napoleon’s advice, England woke China up.
