Gold Confusing Trend Amidst Long-term Weakening Bull Market / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Merv_Burak
Over the past three weeks gold hasn't been able to figure out which way it should go, or is it just that speculators are not sure what to make out of the global economic mess. Just a thought but as I understand it government taking over a countries economic activity has never in history resulted in success. Read full article... Read full article...

By: Madison_Avenue_Resea
Current Lithium Production and Use - Well over 95,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent was produced in 2008, more than double the amount from a decade earlier. The USGS estimates the current global end-use markets for lithium as follows: batteries, 25%; ceramics and glass, 18%; lubricating greases, 12%; pharmaceuticals and polymers, 7%; air conditioning, 6%; primary aluminum production, 4%; continuous casting, 3%; chemical processing 3%; and other uses, 22%.

Governments Printing Money Can't Make Money / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
Jay Taylor, who shares the results of his investment research with subscribers to his widely read Gold, Energy & Technology Stocks weekly e-newsletter, has just added a weekly radio program to his array of tools investors can use to survive in these dark days on Wall Street and Main Street—maybe even thrive. It's called “Turning Hard Times into Good Times,” and aired for the first time on March 24. In this interview, he talks about the program's focus, and reiterates what he told The Gold Report readers in December—that gold stocks represent the best investment these days. Buying gold stocks may be riskier than holding bars or coins, but the upside potential of owning mining shares is commensurately that much greater as well. Jay also argues against the folly of thinking we can cure what ails us by running the printing presses faster and faster to pump more and more paper currency into the economy. Read full article...

Gold Stock Earnings Valuations / Commodities / Gold & Silver Stocks
By: Zeal_LLC
Way back in late 2000, only the very hardest-core contrarians even considered investing in gold stocks. This sector was all but obliterated after a multi-decade bear in gold. Its flagship HUI gold-stock index was languishing in the 40s, while the headline S&P 500 still traded in the 1400s. Most investors didn't even know the tiny gold-mining sector even existed.

Platform for Recovery in Natural Gas UNG ETF / Commodities / Natural Gas
By: Mike_Paulenoff
Although the market's reaction to this morning's inventory data triggered a 9% sell-off in the U.S. Natural Gas Fund ETF (NYSE: UNG), I consider the action as part of a larger developing base formation between 18.00 and 15.50 that must occur prior to the completion of the “equilibrium” period, after which Mr. Market will begin discounting a shift in the supply-demand dynamics that lifts prices. From a technical perspective, the 16.00 area provides excellent symmetrical support within the developing base, which should provide the platform for a recovery into the 17.50 to 18.00 initial target zone.Read full article...

Why the Gold Price is Set to Soar / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Tim_Iacono
Gold has been one of the best investments in what is increasingly looking like a "lost decade" for most asset classes, yet, despite its steady, workmanlike gains - an average annual increases of 16 percent since 2001 - many gold investors are extremely disappointed with its recent performance.

By: Chris_Vermeulen
GLD Gold ETF Fund – Daily Trading Chart This week gold has been pulling back after last week's massive one day rally. Hopefully that rally was not a one-day wonder but rather a sign that smart money is still moving into gold and not most retail traders trying to make a quick buck.

Gold Price Seasonal Trend Pattern Has Changed! / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
The changing of the gold seasons . Unlike most metals gold had a defined set of seasons over the year. The factors that dictate these seasons are very well established based on past demand patterns. But these seasons have now changed as we will see from May onwards, when gold goes into its quiet time often referred to as the "Doldrums" after the area in the Atlantic where there are no Trade Winds taking sailing ships back and forth. Below is why you cannot expect such quiet times and such busy times that we saw in the past!

Crude Oil Makes a Sweek Breakout Buy Signal (Part2) / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Crude Oil makes a run higher giving investors some what of a tradable bounce. Although this is great for our long trades, this is a catch 22. Gas prices are starting to rise again and if this trade follows through. we could see $65 per barrel and a possibility of oil retesting $100 level within the next 6-12 months. Not a pleasant thought in the grand scheme of things. Read full article... Read full article...

Breakout Expected for Crude Oil Services OIH ETF / Commodities / Oil Companies
By: Mike_Paulenoff
My near-term pattern and momentum work argue that the OIH is nearing the completion of its 3-session sideways digestion period in the aftermath of last Friday's recovery rally high. Once the bullish coil is complete, the OIH should thrust to the upside towards a next target of 87.00-87.50. Only a decline that breaks below 82.00 will begin to compromise my current bullish outlook.Read full article... Read full article...

Ride the Commodities Rally on Fed Trillion Dollar Money Printing / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Broderick wrotes: Industrial commodities are bouncing off their bottoms and headed higher. What's driving this move?
Simply put: The Fed has cranked up the printing presses and is throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at anyone who looks like they might buy toxic debt. This is unsticking the credit market for the short-term. And it's also lighting a fire under equities and commodities around the world as traders and investors start to bet on a recovery.

Gold and Silver Fall on Profit Taking / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mark_OByrne
Gold and silver fell yesterday ($923.30 down $29.70; Silver $13.34 down 52 cents) on profit taking and renewed risk appetite which saw equities rally internationally (prior to a late sell off in the US) and the dollar rally after its recent sharp falls.
Macroeconomic, systemic and monetary risk has seen the dollar, the euro and more particularly sterling fall versus gold in recent months. Gold would have likely risen by much more were it not for likely central bank and bullion bank gold sales which have artificially capped the price.

In this interview, his third with us over the past 12 months, Bob cautions against confusing investment savvy with ego-satisfaction, suggests taking time for due diligence instead of looking to gurus, and—of course—recommends a contrarian strategy.
