Time to Buy Gold Stocks and Not the Metal? / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The gold price average over the last year has risen to close to the current price. This means that the gold sales income of the mining companies has persisted for long-enough for the mining companies to have income available for payout to shareholders or to improve their Balance Sheet. This makes mining companies with their leverage to the gold price more attractive than the metal itself, currently. We let our subscribers know the shares we believe will give them the greatest overall return on their investment, so we restrict ourselves in this article to the underlying principles that guide us in our choice.

By: Adrian_Ash
"Who needed gold when a clampdown on speculation collided with strong real returns paid to cash? And who doesn't need at least a little today...?"

Silver Gold Ratio Reversion Points to Serious Under Valuation of Silver / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Zeal_LLC
Silver has endured a rather tough June so far. After peaking just under $16 on the 2nd, this white precious metal plunged 12% to just over $14 by the 15th. This is certainly a significant decline for less than 2 weeks, so silver traders are anxiously wondering what it portends. Will silver languish in the summer doldrums again this year?

Trading Gold with the Gold Direction Indicator / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Peter_Degraaf
In my last article, posted on May 13th, I drew your attention to the HUI index. The article was titled: “All eyes are on Huey”. The article pointed out that the HUI index was breaking out at 350. As it turned out Huey rose to 400, an increase of 14%. At that point I alerted my subscribers to take partial profits as it appeared that the index was going to test the breakout. My subscribers saw me take some money off the table, as I e-mailed the trading details the same day.

By: Seven_Days_Ahead
The recent drop back in Coffee has been deeper than expected, and price has quickly arrived at a key support area that we identified. This is a likely place from which a positive reaction can occur, and in the process avoid/postpone further bearish implications.

What's Next for Gold and Gold Stocks / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Adam_Brochert
I am a big, big fan of Exter's liquidity pyramid. John Exter was a central bankster who worked at the federal reserve in the 1940s and 1950s. His concern about a global fiat money system, once it emerged, was that it would eventually blow out in a deflationary implosion rather than an inflationary one. This is not a common thesis, yet it is one I believe is being proven correct in front of our eyes.

By: The_Gold_Report
The recent 2009 World Resource Investment Conference was moved to the new Vancouver Convention Centre in Vancouver BC, constructed in advance of the 2010 Winter Olympics. The fresh venue for the conference did not seem to carry the enthusiasm equal to the new venue or previous conferences at the neighboring waterfront convention center.

China Commodities Undercut U.S. Dollar / Commodities / China
By: Jim_Willie_CB
China is directing their mountain of reserves away from acquired mining firms and toward managed hedge funds. This is a new direction for Beijing, clearly in response to the refusal by Rio Tinto to permit a $19 billion stake from the Chinese aluminum giant Chinalco. They were frustrated and angered by the other refusal with the failed Unocal dea in 2005. Clearly, whether stated openly or not, the Chinese are thwarted by USGovt and UKGovt hidden leaders from investing in strategic firms. From their point of view, tarnished by ill feelings, their money is good for credit supply but not good for commodity supply lines. So China will continue its pursuit of significant interests in commodity firms, both metals and energy related, and will amplify the pressures by taking scattered interests in hedge funds,

Gold, Oil and Natural Gas ETF Trading Report & Forecasts / Commodities / Exchange Traded Funds
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Gold has provided two excellent trades for us this year; both had less than 3% downside risk. With any luck we will have another trade soon. Gold has been forming a large reverse head and shoulder pattern since early March and currently trying to form the right shoulder. If this pattern completes and the price breaks the neck line at the $99 level we should see a nice rally towards the $120 - $130 level.

Gold and Silver Junior Mining stocks Summertime Buying Opportunity / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: The_Gold_Report
Consistently urging investors to be patient and disciplined, practicing what he preaches has earned Adrian Day a sterling reputation and recognition as an authority in both global and resource investing. In the long term, he anticipates much more upside in gold juniors than seniors, and in the short term—specifically this summer—he looks forward to an "extremely good buying opportunity" among some of the juniors he follows. In this exclusive Gold Report interview, the President of Adrian Day Asset Management also says he sees gold "convincingly" breaking through the "magical big round number" of $1,000 within 9 to 12 months and expects gold to outperform stocks "fairly significantly" over the next year or so. That doesn't necessarily lead him to an optimistic economic forecast, though. Because the recession gripping the globe is the result of "secular deleveraging contractions" (interest rates too low and money too easy), Adrian thinks it will take a long time to pull free.
