Investors Pick Your Poison Now / Commodities / Resources Investing
By: Kurt_Kasun
The "true grit" of the American investor was on display today as earnings from JP Morgan and Coca-Cola buttressed earnings from Intel, and the tech sector lead all of the indexes higher in today's commendable rally as a result. Never mind endlessly exploding oil prices, a beige book report which confirms the further deterioration of the economy across much of the nation, and a housing report that shows that new starts have plunged to the lowest level in 17 years.

Making Sense of Precious Markets Turbulence- Gold, Silver, HUI Technical's / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Zeal_LLC
After an exceptionally turbulent month in the precious-metals complex, many traders are trying to make sense out of all the chaos. Did the recent violent retreats in gold, silver, and the HUI gold-stock index likely mark the ends of their respective uplegs? Or do these strong uplegs probably remain intact?
Obviously this question is crucial as the prudent tactical trading strategy going forward varies radically based on its answer. If these PM uplegs have given up their ghosts, then it makes sense for traders to unload their remaining long positions and maybe even get short. But if these PM uplegs persist, then the gains to come will still be reaped on the long side.

No Bubble in Agricultural Commodities / Commodities / Agricultural Commodities
By: Michael_Pento
All investors have become contrarians and are now experts in being able to spot bubbles. Hence, they all are fully aware that a bubble exists in agricultural commodities at this juncture. Really, you can listen to just about any financial source and hear someone warning about the epic bubble that is evident in agricultural commodity prices. However, some of these same folks were completely blindsided by the collapse of the tech bubble in 2000. And they also were shocked that real estate prices could ever decline in value. Of course, this new class of maverick investor is also currently incapable of viewing the real bubble occurring in the Treasury market (it doesn't bother them that real yields on government debt are negative). The only thing they are sure of is that agricultural prices are poised to plummet. Read full article... Read full article...

Uranium Stocks Bottom Update / Commodities / Uranium
By: Jordan_Roy_Byrne
Two months ago I penned an editorial calling bottom on the uranium stocks. Technically I saw many stocks deeply oversold yet positive momentum was starting to build. A few months later and the positive momentum divergences have continued to build. A few U stocks did indeed bottom but more have made slight new lows. While we need price to confirm a bottom it is important to note that forming significant bottoms can be a timely process. Read full article... Read full article...

Russian Gold and Texas Tea / Commodities / Russia
By: James_R_Voigt
What do Texas and Russia have in common?
Is it the vast wide open spaces that are prevalent to both Texas and Russia ? Or is it the references to the "Texas of Russia" for the regions of the former Soviet Union that have shown an independent, “wild west” spirit, just like Texas past? Why even George Bush and Vladimir Putin have been barbequing together in Texas . Is that it?

IMF Gold Sales Will be Very Good for the Gold Price / Commodities / Gold & Silver
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
Most commentators we now read are taking the potential I.M.F. gold sales as a foregone conclusion. With the unknown quantity of the U.S. Congress [who are fully aware of just how good an investment gold has been and will likely be], who blocked the sales last time it was proposed, the sale is by no means a foregone conclusion. But of far greater importance is the question of how these sales could affect the gold price. The answer is exceptionally positive, after we consider the views of the I.M.F. itself on just how the sales will be orchestrated.Read full article... Read full article...
