Gold Continues to be Supported as Green Shoots Evaporate / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: GoldCore
Gold
Gold was trading in the mid $930s in Tokyo overnight but buying in Europe this morning took it over the $940 level. With increasing concerns regarding the sustainability of the fabled "green shoots" and whether the recent recovery in equity markets can be sustained, gold will continue to be well supported. Especially as the relative merits of the individual major currencies (EUR, USD, JPY and GBP) look increasingly like an ugly sister competition. Gold is currently trading at $942.2/£570/€671.

By: INO
In today's video, I will be looking at the gold market. I'm going to analyze the gold market in a way that I've never divulged before.
I will be talking about energy fields in the gold market and how you can put them to your advantage to make money. The video is short in duration, only four minutes, but I'll give you specific levels to look at should certain events take place. I suspect that these events will occur and for the lucky few who are prepared the rewards will be great.

Haynesville Shale Creates Opportunities in the Energy Sector / Commodities / Crude Oil
By: Joseph_Dancy
Last month investment advisor Marc Faber in a Bloomberg interview noted that “natural gas is the most undervalued commodity in the world right now.” He also said he was a believer in ‘peak oil’ to the extent we have developed most of the cheap and easily recoverable high quality reserves globally, but that the world would move onto other sources of energy as economics dictates. Faber sees energy prices rising over time and also much higher inflation in the U.S. — which will be good for commodities and for small cap stocks.

Why Higher Gold Prices Will Come / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: The_Gold_Report
On the global stage of currency devaluation and debasement, the reasons for owning gold seem obvious. But have you ever stopped to consider the derivative market? According to Charles Oliver and Jamie Horvat, both senior portfolio managers at Sprott Asset Management, "The impact of the derivatives has yet to express itself." In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Charles and Jamie explain how gold will react in the New Financial (dis)Order. Both foresee $2,000 gold in the next three years and, ultimately, "significant" hyperinflation on a global scale over the next decade.

Time to be Buying Gold and Gold Shares? / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Julian_DW_Phillips
As we thought it would, gold has fallen back to the low $900's and begun rising again. Should we be buying? If only life was so simple and we could say to you buy at this price and sell at that price. If we did you can be sure the price would not quite reach the height nor reach the low price. It would almost reach there or overshoot leaving you wrong footed, as most people are. So what do we do?

Euro Upmove May Lift Silver Higher / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Mike_Paulenoff
The euro is bid up this morning versus the dollar in reaction to renewed calls by China’s Central Bank for the creation of a “super-sovereign reserve currency.” This international “movement” by key leaders or institutions in China, Russia and the Mid-East to supplant the U.S. Dollar does not appear to be going away, and in fact might be picking up momentum. In any case, if the euro can hurdle near-term resistance at 1.4140/80, let’s expect Silver – and the iShares Silver Trust (NYSE: SLV) – as well as gold to react positively.

How to Profit from the Big Gold Squeeze / Commodities / Gold & Silver 2009
By: Money_and_Markets
Sean Brodrick writes: Man, we are seeing some wild times in the metals markets recently — big swings up and down, as gold and silver move opposite the U.S. dollar. It’s almost as if international investors are having trouble finding the value of the dollar. To me, it’s just laying the groundwork for a coming gold boom … and potential dollar doom.

By: David_Morgan
The following is an excerpt from the June issue of The Morgan Report. Although I recently wrote about the silver as money issue, many precious metals investors are rather under informed about some aspects of the silver market.
